We have also been to both many times. You really can't go wrong with either one. Each has it's own advantages. Since you haven't been to either why not try both.To revive a thread from last year, my situation is a bit different than the original OP.
I have back to back weeks at Royal Islander for next year in a 1BR and then 2BR. There will only be 2 of us. I'm thinking of retrading the 2BR Islander for a 1BR Westin Lagunamar. Looking the TUG reviews, RI seems to be ranked higher than the Westin but on Tripadvisor, the Westin is higher. We won't have a vehicle and will likely take local buses and walking to get to everything and buy groceries. We'll cook our own food and eat at cheap local restaurants if that helps.
Opinions?
