My wife and I chose this hotel to stay and get married, so did my wedding party. Well words cannot describe the state of the hotel. It was probably Royal back in the 70's but far from it now and is in desperate need of a capital injection to revamp the place. The whole resort came down with a really... More

After booking our trip to Antigua (10 days); started to search for reviews of the island and the hotel. Didn't look too good, but we decided not to find other accommodations. We got our room on the top floor with ocean view. Go for it! Room was clean, no problem with water and no shortage with hot water either. Beach... More

We took a boat cruise with with Aqua Adventures which originates its sunset cruise from the Grand Royal Antiguan Beach Resort.

This place is what The Shining would be like if it was set in the tropics. Steven King would have a field day. A huge dated building with an institutional 1960s vibe and it has a real eeriness about because there's no one here. Not a soul. The grounds haven't been maintained for years, so weeds and vines cover everything... More

We were in this hotel due to a Virgin flight cancellation last week, this had to be the worse hotel I have ever stayed in, and I have worked and lived in several 3rd world countries. First impressions were ok, from then it went down hill, the hotel had not been open for several months - so we were told,... More

Our flight was cancelled and the airline put us up at this hotel for one night/day. The beach was great, that's about it. The resturant staff was also friendly but beyond that, it was downhill. The property needs some serious attention; the grounds are neglected, the grass and weeds are overgrown, the pool need cleaning and the pool bar was... More

Yes, there were only a total of 7 people in and out for the 7 days we stayed. We only saw a couple of people besides staff. We loved it! When the pirate ship brought people in to "our beach", we went to the pool. When my husband and I go away like this, we don't like to deal with... More

I’ve never really written a bad review before but the Grand Royal Antiguan is neither grand or royal. We were there for one night due to delays to our LIAT flight (don’t book with these guys either – we had a truly dreadful experience including a malfunctioning plane, 5 hours departure delay, missing the connection, having to stay overnight in...
