This place was nothing short of amazing. Our Butlers, Coniah and Sabrina, made this trip very worth it. I would definitely come back to visit and recommend to others. Though, we were here for a wedding, this was still a vacation experience. Being able to completely relax and unwind was paramount. Thank you Royalton Family for everything!

After staying in previous Royalton Resorts, Antigua did not disappoint. The food and drinks were great, there was always something to do across the hotel with their daily activities and any requests were carried closed very swiftly. Cannot forget to mention how beautiful and calming the beach is! Special shoutout to Daryn - who was such a sweetheart and very jovial my first night in the Caribbean restaurant and to Coniah - Butler. Although I did not book Diamond Club, he always there if I needed anything. :) Read less

We had an amazing time at the resort, after reading some of the negative comments we were slightly worried however this was unfounded! The location is fabulous, white sandy beach and a warm calm Carribean sea, what more can you ask for! The employees at the resort were amazing! Everyone was so friendly and couldn’t do enough to help us! From the beach team to the cleaners everyone made our stay special. We opted for Diamond club and had Kai and Brandon as our Butlers, they were excellent and no query was enough, they constantly checked on us to ensure that we enjoyed our stay and couldn’t do enough for us! If you do book the resort, I recommend that you ask for Kai and Brandon as your butlers - you will not regret it! I am generally a picky eater, however the food was lovely! The Caribbean restaurant was really nice!!! I would definitely recommend. Normally I would stay away from a Buffett on holiday, however I ate in the Buffett most days as the food was so fresh and the chefs were always willing to cook fresh meat for me!!! A few notable mentions: Carleen, the cocktail queen! She makes the best cocktails - be aware they are potent!! Carleen was so welcoming, we felt that we were talking to a friend! Hewlette from the Buffett restaurant, what a guy! He was so lovely and very helpful and always made sure we had a fresh beer! JQuan, Dymond and Kernan from the Diamond beach bar were fabulous and made sure that we always had a fresh cocktail on hand! We are missing our midday cocktails! The gym team, always made sure the gym was clean and tidy and ensured that the gym was a pleasant break from the cocktails! Finally a big thanks to the beach clean team, Junior Hendrix would always make sure the beach was clean and tidy at the end of the day - thank you! Read less

Excellent service. Had a TUI welcome meeting, where we got to meet the staff which was fun, had drinks and nibbles and won a Spa hydro treatment. Beautiful island and the resort is on a beautiful beach. The staff are friendly and we have enjoyed watching the evening entertainment. Would definitely come back to this resort.
