Activities and Recreation at Royal Antiguan

Antigua is an exciting destination that offers many things to do, particularly for guests staying at a waterside property like this one. The Grand Royal Antiguan Beach Resort is one of the best properties for guests who prefer to stay active and participate in new activities.

Water and Fitness

Because the hotel has 2 pools on location, you probably won't have any trouble claiming a nice, shady area to lounge. Follow up your swim with a few minutes in the hotel's whirlpool, perfect for relieving soreness from a day of exploring.

Tennis

This hotel is an excellent choice for tennis players, considering those staying here can choose to play a match or two on the property. Players likely won't have to compete with other guests for a court, because there are 5 courts at this hotel. An evening match on their lighted courts would be a nice alternative to hot daytime play.

Where else can you find tennis on-property? You can compare Royal Antiguan to other popular hotels that offer this activity, like the Antigua Village Condominium and the Rex Resorts Halcyon Cove.

Golf

Although golf isn't an option at the Royal Antiguan, it may be possible to arrange for a tee time at a local course. The closest golf course is Jolly Harbour Golf Course, which is located four and a half miles south of this hotel. This course has 18 holes total. It's a total of 5587 yards long, and is a par 71.

Watersports

The hotel doesn't host any watersports of its own, but in an area full of beach-happy tourists, it won't be hard to find equipment suppliers who specialize in water activities.

Family Activities

If you plan to bring the whole family on vacation, one of the best choices is the Royal Antiguan, because it is known for its family-friendly amenities.

The hotel has a game room, where both kids and their parents can blow off some steam. There's a playground on the property too, where the little ones can tire themselves out. Busy families can also rely on the organized children's program to keep their kids entertained at the hotel. At some point during your vacation, you may want to have some fun on your own, without worrying about the kids. Hotel guests can arrange for a babysitter, so parents have the opportunity to enjoy some quality time at the hotel or around town.

Entertainment and Nightlife

One of the greatest perks of staying at this hotel is seeing their live entertainment, proving that staying inside for the night can be as satisfying as an expensive night out. The frequency of live shows varies, however.

Plus, at this hotel you'll also find several different bars, so whether you go to the show or not, you'll have a number of options for the evening.
