Hotel Royal Crown

The Resort and Its Setting

Hotel Royal Crown is an independent timeshare property in Phuket, affiliated with RCI rather than run under a hotel chain's name. That independent status tends to mean a smaller-scale, more personal feel than a branded resort, with a fixed-week or points structure that owners use directly or trade through the RCI exchange network. It suits owners who want a Thailand base they can return to, or trade out of when they fancy a change of scenery.

Phuket: The Area and What There Is to Do

Phuket needs little introduction — it's one of Southeast Asia's most visited islands, and the draw is obvious: beaches, diving, Thai food, and a mix of beach-town buzz and old-world charm depending on which corner you're in. From a base at Hotel Royal Crown, Patong Beach and its nightlife are within easy reach, as is the Big Buddha and the Sino-Portuguese streets of Old Phuket Town. Further afield, boat trips run out to Phang Nga Bay's limestone islands and the dive sites around the Similan Islands — both popular full- or half-day excursions from the island. High season (November–April) brings the driest, most reliable weather; low season (May–October) is quieter and cheaper, with rain to work around.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own at Hotel Royal Crown and are ready to move on, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list the week for resale or rent directly, owner to owner. You set your own asking price, buyers or renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — just a one-time listing fee to get your ad live. There's no agent in the middle marking up the price or taking a cut.

Because Hotel Royal Crown is independent, resales here are handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded developer's resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort or management company: the transfer fee for putting the week into a new owner's name, whether the association holds any right of first refusal on a resale, how long the transfer process usually takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. These details vary by resort and aren't published figures we can quote here, so get them in writing before any deposit changes hands. A resale buyer should also clarify exactly what comes with the week — the fixed week or points allocation itself, and whether RCI exchange affiliation and any existing RCI membership transfer across, since exchange company rules on this differ.

For renters, the appeal is straightforward: a week in Phuket without the ownership commitment. Renters typically want to know which week or season is on offer, unit size and sleeping capacity, and whether the booking is a confirmed week or subject to availability — all worth spelling out clearly in your listing.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Anyone exchanging into Hotel Royal Crown through RCI should confirm their points or week value and book well ahead for high season, since Phuket is a popular trading destination. Owners selling privately should keep records of past maintenance fee payments and any correspondence with the resort handy, as buyers will ask for these during due diligence.
