Royal Floridian Resort

The Resort and Its Setting

Royal Floridian Resort is managed by Bluegreen Vacations and sits in Ormond Beach, on Florida's Atlantic coast just north of Daytona Beach. It operates as a timeshare resort, with weeks owned by vacation club members rather than booked hotel-style, and is affiliated with both RCI and Interval International. Being part of both exchange networks means an owner isn't locked into visiting every year — a week here can be deposited and swapped for a stay at another affiliated resort, subject to home-resort fees and program rules.

Ormond Beach and the Surrounding Area

Ormond Beach has a reputation as one of Florida's more low-key coastal towns: wide beaches, a historic downtown, and none of the theme-park crowds associated with central Florida further inland. The Ormond Beach Pier and The Casements, a historic mansion turned cultural venue with gardens and exhibits, are both a short drive from the resort and give a sense of the town's character. A little further out, Tomoka State Park offers hiking trails and wildlife viewing along the river, while Daytona Beach — with its racing history and the Daytona International Speedway — is about 15 miles south if you want a livelier day out. Kennedy Space Center is a longer trip at roughly 60 miles but is a realistic day excursion for anyone staying in the area.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Royal Floridian Resort and are considering selling, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your own week, set your own asking price, and buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to advertise.

Because this is a Bluegreen-branded resort, a few brand-specific resale facts are worth knowing before you price or buy a week here. According to a 2026 resale broker report, Bluegreen charges a transfer fee of around $500 to move ownership into a new buyer's name, and Bluegreen holds a right of first refusal on resales, meaning the company can step in and match an accepted offer before it goes through to the buyer. Typical transfer time once a sale is agreed runs 30–90 days. Owner reports (via TUG) also note an important restriction for resale buyers: Bonus Time booking is available only at the home resort, and resale buyers don't receive Premier status, which is otherwise part of Bluegreen's owner benefits structure. Sellers should disclose this to prospective buyers upfront, and buyers should factor it into what they're willing to pay.

For owners renting out a week instead of selling, the usual considerations apply: renters look for clear dates, confirmed unit size and view, and straightforward communication about check-in and resort fees. Being upfront about the Bluegreen affiliation and exchange network membership helps renters understand what they're booking.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Renters

Ormond Beach's appeal is seasonal: November through April brings the mildest weather and the heaviest demand from snowbirds, while summer is hotter and more humid but typically quieter and better value. Anyone booking a stay, exchanging in through RCI or II, or renting from an owner should plan around this pattern and book early for winter dates. Hurricane season runs June through November, so it's worth keeping an eye on seasonal weather forecasts regardless of which part of the year you're travelling.
