“Do not stay here! The worst hotel. Should not be a Marriott property”

Mar 12, 2026megss83

I stayed at the Royalton Antigua at the end of February with my boyfriend. I booked the hotel because it is a Marriott property, which gave me a certain level of confidence in the level of quality, despite the mixed reviews I read online. This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed. The service is absolutely terrible - the staff are not remotely interested in being there and actively try to ignore you and be unhelpful. They are surly and sigh if you ask them for basic requests like a beer at a bar. If you order a basic drink at dinner, your server will convienently forget to serve you and will never return to your table because it is an all-inclusive resort and they want to make it very difficult for you to obtain alcohol. We were not even able to get refills on our water glasses. The food is also terrible. I was shocked at how bad the quality is. Food is plentiful but 99% of it is bad. The hotel would be better suited to offer fewer options at a higher quality. The hotel also runs a scam where you have to make reservations at any restaurant outside of the buffet. Reservations are never available on the app so you have to wait in line for 45 minutes in the middle of the day to make them through a single person. Restaurants are never full at night so they are clearly trying to push people to the buffet to eat. We had high hopes for the restarants but much of the food was actually the same as the buffet - we were disappointed to find the same recipes being recycled across the resort. I would recommend that you avoid this property at all costs and have written Marriott to recommend they remove it from their property list.

“A gem in the Lesser Antilles”

Mar 11, 2026NewBrunswickFroggie

We travelled to the Island of Antigua with WestJet vacations from February 8th to 15th and stayed at the Royalton Antigua, which is an all-inclusive family resort. The resort is comprised of 294 suites, 8 restaurants, 5 bars, and 3 swimming pools. The resort is situated only 30 minutes from V.C. Bird International Airport, in the Five Island Village. High speed internet is solid throughout the resort. The transfer from the airport to the resort was handled by Nexus Tours. The check-in process was very smooth and many thanks to Kyanna at the reception desk who was very helpful to us. He deserves 5-stars for his customer service skills. We used the Gourmet Marché (buffet) for breakfasts and a few dinners. There were plenty of selections and we had the option of having selections prepared fresh at a few stations. We dined one evening at the Grazie Italian Trattoria, and enjoyed a wide range of well-known Italian comfort food. By far our favorite was the Hunter Steakhouse, going back on a few occasions to sample different items on the menu. If you love steak, this is the place to go. Tasty salads and soups to start, and if you have the room after your entrée, you must try a dessert. We tried the SCORE Brewhouse for lunch one day, but the service was slow, appetizers and entrées arriving at the same time, but the food was good. Our favorite place for lunch was a toss-up between Beach Club Grill and Nibbles. Now I may have gotten them mixed up, to clarify there is a small Airstream trailer near the kid’s pool who make fantastic nachos, burgers, and other fare, and a restaurant just at the side of the beach where they make the most delicious jerk chicken wings, WOW! They also make wraps, tacos, etc. which are so delicious. One place we cannot forget, the Coffee Lounge & Scoops Gelato! They have oven fresh baked breads, pastries, cakes, ice cream/gelato! So Good! Just a note, there is a recommended dress code, although it was not observed by all. When it is Evening casual in the à la carte, for the ladies, recommended dress, blouse, skirt, while for the gentlemen, dress pants and shirt. Respect for our hosts would be the same way we would dress when going out at home. At lunch time and at the buffet, resort casual dress, jeans, shorts, and t-shirts is acceptable. Again, common sense should be applied. A shout out to the housekeeping staff who also did a really great job of keeping our room nice and neat. One of the nice things about this resort, not so much of the towel game on the lounge chairs by the pool or the beach, yes there were a few, but not to the extent that you will find at other resorts. I will be honest, when I read some of the negative reviews on this site, I was a little concerned, but I have stayed at Royalton Resorts before and never had an issue. So as usual, I decided to lower my expectations, just in case, and was very pleasantly surprised. We received great service from some amazing people. Antiguans are warm friendly people who are happy to welcome visitors to their island, and we should be grateful that they are willing to share their homeland with us. I look forward to another visit to this gem of the leeward islands in the Caribbean region.

“Nice hotel, gorgeous beach”

Mar 10, 2026Jocorami

We stayed at the Royalton in March 2026 and had a lovely time. We booked the Diamond Club, so dinner reservations were arranged for us every evening, and we only ate at the buffet on the first night. We also enjoyed breakfast in the Grazie restaurant every morning. Our room was comfortable and clean, with a view of the lagoon, and it was serviced to a good standard every day. The beaches were absolutely beautiful. We saw turtles while kayaking and also snorkelled at the shipwreck, which was arranged by the hotel’s water sports team for $20 per person. We spent most of our days by the pool and found the staff friendly and helpful. Although we preferred to walk to the bar or use the pool bar, there was never a shortage of staff offering us drinks. The grill by the pool was lovely for lunch, and we also ate at the sports bar a few times. The gym was one of the best equipped I’ve seen in any hotel, and we used it regularly in the mornings. There were also classes available, although we didn’t take part ourselves. I had been a little nervous after reading some of the reviews, but I would say this hotel is exactly what you’d expect from a four‑star property on a small island. We did have a couple of minor issues, such as a door not shutting properly, but our butler was extremely responsive on WhatsApp and resolved them very quickly. The hotel is not brand new, and that does show, but nothing dreadful. I was disappointed that the water sports were only open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day—I think until 4 p.m. would have been more appropriate, as it felt a little rushed if you wanted to fit them in alongside other activities. We did not travel with children, but we walked past the kids’ water park every day. I would say it is only suitable for younger children, and if I had mine with me, we would probably have booked a few more excursions to prevent boredom. We booked the Extreme Antigua tour with the Nexus team on the beach and were picked up and dropped off at the hotel. With a little negotiation, the hotel team matched the price listed on Viator. Normally we would do a couple of trips, but we enjoyed our time at the hotel so much that we felt relaxed and didn’t book anything else. We did, however, walk along the beach and up Fort Barrington, which offered lovely views. The evening entertainment was very good but usually ended just before 10 p.m. This suited us perfectly, but if you’re looking for something livelier at this time of year, it may not be the right choice. In terms of service, we had one evening at Hunter’s with very slow service, but we had been warned there was a large corporate function. I was surprised by how rude some guests were to the staff. We actually asked our server how she was doing, as she looked busy, and she thanked us for being kind. She kept an eye on us after that. There were days when certain items were unavailable on the menu, but we were told in advance, and there was still plenty of choice. We had one slow lunchtime at the sports bar and one morning at Grazie, but generally service was fast—similar to other Caribbean resorts I’ve visited. Having Diamond Club definitely felt worthwhile. Our butler was very attentive, booked everything for us, and allowed us to simply relax. If your budget is for a four‑star holiday, I would recommend this resort. Ninety percent of the time, everything was excellent.
