Solanas Royalmar

The Resort & Setting

Solanas Royalmar is an independent timeshare resort with RCI affiliation, situated in Punta del Este — Uruguay's best-known coastal resort town, in the Maldonado region. As an independent property rather than part of a large hotel chain, Solanas Royalmar is run through its own management or owners' association rather than a branded corporate structure, while the RCI tie-in gives owners the option to exchange their week for stays at other RCI resorts worldwide.

The Area & Things to Do

Punta del Este is built around its beaches, and Solanas Royalmar owners have the town's sand and surf right on the doorstep. The surrounding area is also easy to explore: La Barra, a laid-back village known for its galleries, surf beaches and restaurants, is about 12 km away. Casapueblo, the striking whitewashed cliffside building and gallery once home to artist Carlos Páez Vilaró, sits around 35 km along the coast and is one of the region's most photographed landmarks. Maldonado city, the regional capital, is about 40 km away and offers a more local, everyday Uruguayan experience with colonial-era buildings, markets and traditional restaurants. Punta del Este itself has a reputation for upmarket dining and nightlife in high season, alongside a quieter, more relaxed pace outside the summer months.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you're ready to move on from your Solanas Royalmar timeshare, BidMyTimeshare.com offers a straightforward route to a private, owner-to-owner sale: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to get your week in front of buyers, and no commission is taken from your sale — unlike traditional resale agents, who typically charge a percentage.

Because Solanas Royalmar is an independent resort, resale isn't processed through a single international brand's transfer department. Instead, the transfer of ownership is handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth contacting the resort directly to confirm the current transfer fee, whether the association holds any right of first refusal on resales, and what the current annual maintenance fee is — these details vary by resort and aren't published figures we can quote here. A buyer purchasing your week will take on the usage rights and RCI exchange eligibility tied to the unit, but won't inherit any benefits, credits or arrangements that were personal to you as the original owner.

If selling isn't the plan right now, renting out your week is also an option — most renters are simply looking for confirmed dates, clear information on the unit size and view, and a straightforward way to communicate with the owner before booking.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Anyone planning to use the RCI exchange option should check their account and deposit deadlines well ahead of their intended travel dates, since exchange availability depends on how early a week is deposited into the system. Punta del Este sees its busiest, liveliest season from December to February, with March to May offering a quieter, more affordable alternative that still has good weather — useful to know whether you're planning your own stay or marketing the week to a renter.
