Talk about Fawlty Towers. First they didn't accept that I had paid in advance through a hotel website and had to pay again. Renovations were underway with only half-a-dozen rooms occupied - and smelly and dirty. The guest lift didn't work and I was on the eighth floor (colleagues and I did find a service lift being used by the... more

We are a family of 5 and we read the reviews before booking this "hotel" and decided to try it...Big Mistake. We have travelled to many islands and this is the first time we regret our decision and we should've believed the negative reviews. If you absolutely must see antigua stay somewhere else. I could write pages and pages of... more

The Hotel is in a beutifull spot, but it was so run down that it depressed us. The staff were not very helpfull unless there was something in it for them. It is in a quite isolated place, no local bars (with the exeption of the local strip joint halfway up the hill next to the hotel) (so if you... more

I stayed here for one night before heading to the BVIs. The hotel has no amenities , the pool is closed, the buffet lunch and dinner are the same except the lunch costs $45 and dinner $55. The rooms were clean but need updating but the others areas are less than desirable. As I was only staying there for one... more

There seem to be some emotive reviews about this place, so I'll try to remain objective where possible. First impressions of the hotel were that it was very quiet - no-one in the lobby and bar area. Also, the water features there should either be pepped up or replaced with some pot plants! That said, I'd come for a quiet... more

We went back in May 2004, resort was exactly was we were looking for. Nice beach, all to yourself, great grounds, food ok, and some cool activities you could do right around resort. Hike up to Barrington Hill, to the old fort, about 20 minutes, you can see it from beach. Also, snorkel the ship wreck right off the beach,... more

Based on my experience, you should avoid the Grand Royal Antiguan Beach Resort at all costs. I heard about this "resort" prior to my visit to Antigua and wrote to them to inquire about an all inclusive day pass when our cruise stopped in Antigua. They were more than willing to give me a quote of $60 per day and... more

My husband and I stayed from 9th Oct to 25th Oct and were very surpirsed at how quiet the hotel was. We did meet some other people, mainly air crews coming in and out for a night or two and a lovely American couple. Despite what another person stated we found the staff very friendly and the breakfast hot and... more
