  Relaxing at the end of year

  My wife and I travel to a different destination every year the day after Christmas! Our first time to Antigua we decided to stay at the Royalton resort and relax. Our butlers Coniah and Sharlene were great. Coniah went over and beyond to make sure our trip was enjoyable . The resort is small very nice the employees at the restaurants were not as attentive to service! Pools are very nice, entertainment every night! The New Years spectacular was great with the buffet inside and outside live music and fireworks to end the show!

  Fantastic hotel & Amazing island

  This hotel was amazing,the check-in took longer than I thought but we got there in the end,we had a Mountain View room which wasnt so bad and the room was very nice no problems at all,the actual hotel layout was very good and grounds were kept absolutely immaculate,one of the nicest beaches I’ve ever been on,I’m normally a pool person but we ended up spending the whole 2weeks on the beach,the staff were amazingly friendly as well and never really had to wait long for drinks,entertainment of a night was good,there was no shortage of finding somewhere to have food or snack or drink as there some place to all over the complex,the restaurants were exceptional as well but my tip would be download the Royalton app and book plenty in advance,steakhouse was my favourite,a good tip is to get out and about on the island because it’s a beautiful island with amazing sights to see and lots to do and the locals are amazing people

  A Truly Special Caribbean Experience – Already Booked Our Return

  We just returned from Royalton Antigua and can confidently say this was one of our most memorable vacations. In fact, we loved it so much that we’ve already booked our return for next year. Chairman’s Overwater Bungalow We stayed in the Chairman’s Overwater Bungalow, and it was absolutely incredible—truly a unique experience in the Caribbean. The bungalow was private, spacious, beautifully designed, and packed with features, including a private pool. Fish surrounded the bungalow nearly day and night, and being able to jump directly into the warm water was something we’ll never forget. From our room, we watched cruise ships glide in and out of St. John’s and admired the stunning private yachts moving through the harbor. It was peaceful, romantic, and endlessly fascinating. The Beach The beach is perfect. The water is warm, clean, clear, and calm—ideal for swimming and floating, unlike beaches exposed to the open ocean. The sand is beautiful, and there were plenty of chairs and umbrellas. Even with the resort at full capacity, it never felt crowded. The beach staff is outstanding, providing drink and food service right to your chairs. There are also plenty of included watersports, which is a great bonus. In addition, some of the friendliest guys rent jet skis right on the beach. My wife and I took a 90-minute jet ski ride from Deep Bay to Jolly Harbour, and it was an absolute highlight of our trip. Pools The pool area is great—warm, clean, spacious, and featuring an excellent swim-up bar. We didn’t use it much, simply because the beach and our private pool were too good to leave. Food & Restaurants The food offerings were very good overall, but what truly made the restaurants special were the people. We had most of our breakfasts at the beach-side Diamond Club area, and the ladies there are simply amazing. Collette is warm, kind, and treated us like family. Lesa and Kayla are friendly, funny, and incredibly attentive. After the first day, they greeted us by name and genuinely seemed happy to see us every morning. They also work the Beach Club Grill for lunch, which meant the excellent service continued throughout the day. At Grazie, Gail was fantastic. She and my wife greeted each other with hugs and chatted throughout dinner like old friends. We also had wonderful service at Hunter’s. If you get the chance, do the Culinary Experience. It’s a 7-course meal, every bite is delicious, and the chef and service team are warm, engaging, and generous with their time. Come hungry—you’ll need to. By the end of the night, they were hugging my wife like family. Excursions We did two excursions through Nexus Tours, and Larissa was absolutely fantastic—friendly, helpful, and genuinely caring. She helped us replace a tour that was canceled and felt more like a friend on the island than a tour rep. Excellence Catamaran: A beautiful trip around the island on a comfortable boat, with snorkeling and swimming at Green Island. The only downside was that several boats arrived at the same tiny beach at the same time, making it feel crowded. As Royalton guests, we loved being dropped off on the beach at the resort at the end of the day. Jeep Safari / Stingray City: You do get to see a lot of the island, but manage expectations—this isn’t a quiet countryside drive. Much of it is bumpy city streets and neighborhoods. Stingray City, however, is absolutely worth it. You get to touch, hold, and feed very gentle stingrays swimming all around you in open water. It was fantastic. Diamond Club & Butler Service What truly separated this vacation from others was the Diamond Club and Butler Service. I cannot recommend this enough. Our butlers, Khem and Earl, were absolutely spectacular. From the moment we arrived until they personally put us into a private ride back to the airport, they took care of everything. They felt like friends, not just staff. Earl greeted us at the Diamond Lounge, escorted us to our bungalow, welcomed us with champagne and fruit, gave us a full room tour, and personally escorted us to dinner that first night. Khem met us the next morning and was kind, attentive, and incredibly responsive. When we had a small issue with the room, he whisked us off to the spa and handled everything while we relaxed. During our stay, I actually felt under the weather on New Year’s Eve. The butlers checked up on me constantly, personally brought food, extra water, and snacks, and even followed up with a fruit tray to keep me hydrated. The level of personal care and attention they provided was amazing and made me feel truly looked after. Dinner reservations, cabanas, spa appointments, room perfection—they handled it all seamlessly. It’s hard to imagine how different this trip would have been without them. Management That Makes a Difference For part of our stay, Royalton’s Director of Operations – West Indies, Victor Mojica, was on property. This guy was amazing. He leads from the front, and we saw him everywhere—at the restaurants, pools, and beaches. From our first morning, he greeted us by name every time we saw him, warmly asking how things were going and if we needed anything. We talked about other Royalton properties and how special Royalton Antigua is in their portfolio. He even offered his email so we could follow up after the visit with any thoughts—a level of personal attention you rarely see. Victor’s presence truly enhanced the experience and made the resort feel personal and cared-for at every level. Final Thoughts Royalton Antigua delivered an experience that felt luxurious, warm, and genuinely personal. Between the overwater bungalow, the incredible staff, the Diamond Club service, and the engagement from management, this vacation truly stood out—and we’re already counting the days until we return.
