My husband, 12-year old daughter and I spent 4 nights at the Royalton Antigua. This was our first all-inclusive vacation and while it was a bit pricey, we got what we wanted which was 4 days of pure relaxation. Our room was comfortable, the resort's grounds were lovely and the private beach was breathtaking. There were lots of activities during the day and at night to keep the family entertained such as yoga, aqua-fit, beach volleyball, cricket, foam parties, sip-and-paint, hikes, game shows, cultural performances, karaoke, live music and other kid-specific activities. While I read some reviews complaining about how loud it was around the pool area, personally I did not think the Vibes Team (who are charged with with the entertainment program) overdid it. In fact they were fun and encouraged guests to participate (without being too pushy). There was a variety of dining options at the resort, and (contrary to some reviews) we were able to get reservations at the 3 a-la-carte restaurants. We also loved the coffee/ice-cream shop. Our main complaint was that the food at the various restaurants was unremarkable - a bit bland for our Caribbean palate and my husband actually got quite sick after eating at the Italian restaurant. The service there was also horrendously slow (it took us 2 hours to get our food) and we heard other guests complaining about the same thing. Other than that though, it was generally a pleasant stay.
