Antigua Village Activities and Recreation

Activities and Recreation at Antigua Village

Having a large list of things to do isn't necessarily a requirement for all travelers. While some vacationers would prefer a resort with many different activities available, others are content with few or no active recreational options, since their top priority is just to relax. Even though it doesn't have a very extensive array of extracurricular activities the Antigua Village may have everything you need.

Water and Fitness

While each vacationer has their own agenda, you'll find all kinds of activities and attractions in Antigua. Lounging at the hotel's pool might not be your top goal, even though it can be a nice way to spend some of your time.

Tennis

You probably won't have any trouble finding a court to use, considering that there are 71 guest rooms and 1 court available. This translates to an average of just 170 guests per tennis court, which is favorable compared to other hotels in the Caribbean. Guests have the chance of enjoy some evening matches on a lit court. This is perfect for those travelers who would rather spend their afternoon enjoying other activities.
