Antigua and Barbuda accommodation from AU$256

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Royalton Antigua. The beach is beautiful. The pool and pool bar is lively with activities for the grown folks all day. The spa’s hydrotherapy, which is included with spa services, was exactly what the doctor ordered. The main dining buffet was surprisingly my favorite place to dine due to the large selection and wonderful staff.

We were so nervous about this trip, there were a lot of mixed reviews. I'm happy we went, the resort is beautiful, it's small but not too small. We had zero issues with check-in. We did pay the extra money where we picked our room before we arrived. Even though we didn't get that exact room it was still on the same floor and building. The resort even refunded us our money without us asking. Our butlers (Zen and Sheresse) were amazing, checking in with us every morning and throughout the day to make sure we were ok. We were a part of a larger group and I honestly think we had the best ones. My sister who planned this entire trip heard from her butler like once. Luckily Zen also checked in with them and made sure they also had everything they needed. We had no issues with dinner reservations since our butlers booked them all. We were able to eat as a party of 8 during the entire stay. The food was good, our favorite was Vespa. The steakhouse was our least favorite. I can't say we ever went hungry. We were always able to find something to eat. The options were a bit limited but the quality was good. Drinks were always yummy, we mostly hung out at the diamond club pool or near the evening entertainment bar. The bartenders knew who we were and what we liked The beach was amazing as well, luckily we didn't any any issues with the seaweed! There is a small rocky patch when you first walk into the ocean but then it's nice sand. The rocks didn't hurt so no need for swim shoes!!

Beach access, pool bar and barbecue, very friendly staff
