"Overall we had a very good experience at the Royalton Antigua. I'd like to start by saying I wouldn't consider this a 5 star hotel like other Royaltons I've been to.
Pros:
1) Property is beautiful; beach and pool were great. Never had an issue with towels, getting a seat, etc.
2) Lots of amenities for adults and kids
3) Staff were friendly and very helpful
4) The rooms were spacious
5) Entertainment at night and during the day was very nice
6) Kids club was great
7) Coffee shop had great coffee, smoothies, ice cream and dessert.
8) Extra $$ - the spa was great and we had an amazing romantic dinner on the beach with private violin playing in the background (not sure if this was part of the package or extra). The food for extra $$ experience was delicious.
9) if you order through expedia, you get your own representative who helps you with your reservations and recommendations (sort of like a butler if you were to get the diamond club package). Our representative, Antoinette, was amazing and booked all of our restaurant reservations ahead of time and got us perks.
Cons:
1) Aside from the buffet, the a la carte restaurants were not good. Food was overspiced and overcooked most of the time.
2) The rooms themselves can use some upgrading especially the bathrooms. For a 5 star hotel, I would have expected more luxurious rooms."
