Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: Great resort!

Beautiful resort on a great surroundings. Very friendly staff, and great management, Chris the general manager at the resort went above and beyond to find my wife's lost sunglasses.Very happy about that.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: Good Hotel with Great Potential

Good hotel and staff with a great potential to become an excellent resort with a face lift and renovation of the hotel. Beautiful location and surroundings and an excellent design. Local West Indies cuisine was very good rich with spices. Foreign meals (i.e. Mexican or Italian) not so good.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: Ultimate Relaxation

Although in need of a major facelift, the Rex has many features of a grand hotel. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, with bougainvillea (Grenada's national flower) in every colour imaginable growing everywhere on the property. The room and public areas were clean. The beach is pristine - soft sand and clear water. It was very quiet- which is exactly what we wanted. The food was delicious when they cooked local foods, not as great with Mexican or Italian. The service was excellent, especial [... read more]ly Shenelle at the front desk and Jennifer at the beach bar (coconut coolers). There was nightly entertainment in the lounge. It could have been a bit more professional but it was satisfactory. I like that it was so close to the airport. Had a really relaxing week. Would definitely go there again.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: Excellent Resort

Excellent Resort! All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Many of the staff went above and beyond with great customer service, Deslin, Raphael and Rena and the list goes on! The food was delicious and abundant. The drinks were made perfectly every time. Very clean rooms and grounds were well manicured. The beach was very clean and clear blue water made it picturesque. There was always something to do whether it was at the resort or near by. Great location, just minutes away from the airpo [... read more]rt. The planes coming in and out of Grenada were never loud or bother some . I highly recommend staying at the Rex Resort, this was my first trip to Grenada and I definitely will be returning.

Rex Papillon: Lovely resort

* Friendly and courteous staff * Food was very good * Beach beautiful Resort and grounds are very well maintained. We visited the island toward the ending of the tourist season so entertainment wasn’t plentiful. We also enjoyed the quiet relaxing atmosphere. I would recommend this resort if you are looking for a quiet holiday .

Royalton CHIC Antigua: Amazing resort

Beach is gorgeous. It’s wide and flat with sand like flour. You never fight for a spot on this quiet and relaxing gorgeous stretch of beach. Staff is phenomenal. Loved barmaid Heather, waitress Julian and our maid, Alise. Food was best we’ve ever had at an all inclusive. Beautiful dining on pier restaurant with atmosphere plus. Wine was very good, both the red and white. Lunch right by the beach everyday was perfect and lots of variety. Rooms were clean, mattress comfortable but  [... read more]they are very tired. Rooms definitely need an upgrade. We had a few minor issues and maintenance responded immediately. Rooms were clean. If rooms get a much needed upgrade this place would be 100% perfect. Once again we were happy with Angela from Trip Central.

Rex Papillon: Good resort needs some renovation

The hotel was clean but pool need some work restaurants were very good. Dinner buffet was not so good. Resort staff very nice people. I would go back once hotel is renovated . The beach was beautiful

Rex Papillon: Second Visit and still delivers

We left Toronto on April 15, 2018 during one of the worst ice storms of the year and arrived in St Lucia to sun and warm breezes. This is the second time we have been to this resort and would recommend the Rex for anyone wanting a quiet smaller venue to have a relaxing vacation. The pool area is large and chairs and umbrellas are always available. The beach is wonderful for swimming, walking and lounging, chairs and umbrellas are available. Remember all beaches in St Lucia are public but b [... read more]ecause of the Rex's location we were not bothered by to many vendors, just say no thank you and they will move on. The staff at the Rex is what really makes the place special, from the front reception to the wait staff in the restaurants to the pool, garden and beach sports staff, all are top notch. We really enjoyed joking with Veronica in the buffet and had a couple of sails on the small sun catamarans with Nelly and Yaisiff. Thanks guys for sharing your knowledge of the island and making me feel safe out on the water. Note: the catamaran are free for the use of the guests of the Rex, you can go out on your own or have one of the guys take you. The food was always good in both the buffet and the Italian, there is also an Oriental restaurant but we did not try that one, my partner is not a fan. Breakfast Lunch and Dinner are available in the buffet, there is a grill at the beach and they serve lunch only, fish and chips, hamburgers, hotdogs, and a great pulled pork sandwich, salads are also available there. There are two bars, one in the main lobby and the other at the pool, drinks are good and they serve Piton and Heineken beer on tap. The rooms at the resort are large, and the beds are super comfortable, this is an older hotel so don't expect all the bells and whistles however everything you need is available and it is very clean. The grounds are well maintained. We also enjoyed being able to leave the resort and walk into Rodney Bay and feel safe. There are many bars, hotels and places to grab a drink and enjoy some music.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: Super resort

This resort was great. The grounds were very well maintained. Nicely landscaped with lots of variety of planting ...beautiful!! The best rooms are the beachfront. The buffet had lots if healthy choices and changed daily. The Oriental restaurant had a good selection of items on the menu and the servers were fantastic. Dianne was great!!! All the staff were very professional from dining , houskeeping, bar, reception, and water sports . Dillon was super.... took us out on the catamaran for a ver [... read more]y enjoyable trip. The entertainment was okay but the Saturday night steel band group was exceptional. They played until the very end. Daytime enterainment was scheduled but not always happened. Definately a resort I would reccomend. If all the Rex resort were like this one I would for sure visit all of them.

Royalton CHIC Antigua: Great vacation!

The Rex Halcyon was charming. The grounds are lovely and our room was well equipped, clean and comfortable as well as being ideally located with a view of both the pool and the beach. We loved every minute of our week there. The staff was friendly and helpful without being intrusive and the food was plentiful and very good. The beach is amazing and we never had any trouble finding loungers. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: Rex resort Grenada

Hotel is tired, built 1993 and not much spent on it since then. Air canada should not rate it a 4star but it is a good 3. Food was ok, not a lot of variety. The grounds were very well kept, rooms need tlc but clean, staff was always pleasant, not much entertainment, and no amenities on the beach eg. beach bar or washrooms. Not a lot of water stations around the property just at restaurant, and pool bar, and in saying that there is a lot of walking to get a drink of water. Sounds like it under ne [... read more]w management and they are expecting good things to come I hope so because it is in a lovely safe area and only 5 min. To airport. Great place if only relaxing by beach or pool.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: Beautiful grounds!

The grounds are beautiful and well kept. There is even a small lagoon on the property. The staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms are clean and neat. If you are looking for super luxury (like a Sandals) then this isn't the place for you, but if you want good food and a nice place to be in the sun and sand then this is it. However, the evening entertainments did lack lustre and were often just a singer with a guy on a steel drum. The one restaurant on the property (Chinese food) was disa [... read more]ppointing. The food was greasy and the service so slow that we left before dessert.

Royalton CHIC Antigua: Ancient Resort

Very old and in need of help. Paint peels off ceiling when you use bathroom. Door creeks and sliding doors stick. No dresser, furniture ancient. Whole place is ancient. Needs to be shut down for 6 months and redone, then they can raise the rate, get a 4 star rating as long as they keep the same staff. Staff and food only good thing about this place.

Rex Papillon: Average Resort

The Papillion was an average, dated resort. We enjoyed it because it was small, staff were nice and the food was good. The grounds were maintained and we had wifi in our rooms (which was a huge bonus), entertainment seemed non existent and I would have liked some group exercise classes and more active activities on site. I think that Air Canada needs to invest in the resort rooms and grounds for the cost and star rating (4 no way). We made the most of our week...

Rex Papillon: Nice Small Resoert

The resort was small & intimate but offered everything I was looking for in a Carribean vacation- great staff, nice pool, Long Beach for walking & great Air Canada organized day trips. Also the resort had a nice spa at its Sister Resort which was within walking distance. Highly recommend the day trip called Land & Sea - excellent value & very interesting!

Royalton CHIC Antigua: Great week away!

My wife and I were there March 6-13 and had a really good time. Yes the resort is older and could use some tlc, but our room was clean and provided everything we needed for the week, a place to sleep and change clothes. The rest of the time was spent relaxing on the beautiful beach and swimming in the gorgeous water. Breakfast and dinner buffets were good. Not a huge selection to choose from, but what was there was very good. Lunch grill by the beach was good everyday as well, lots to chose from [... read more] as well. Beach bartenders were good and never had to wait very long for a drink. All in all we would go back for sure.

Royalton CHIC Antigua: Excellent trip

Despite some negative reviews of this resort, my husband, two teens and I went for a week. We had two rooms and upgraded to garden view rooms with king beds and fridges. The rooms were beautiful, with views of the garden and the perfect blue sea. We were in the main lodge, and only about 30ft to the beach. We loved the food, the friendly service, the steel drum band, the Antiguan dancers. The beach is epic, the views from Warri Pier at Sunset are incredible. The resort is not as polished as some [... read more] others, but if you want to see Antigua, this is a fantastic place to stay. Liz, the AirCanada rep at the resort, is a worth her weight in gold. She knows everything, and made sure our trip was safe and fun. We did the land rover safari, the catamaran snorkel trip and spent a day wandering around Saint John’s. The locals are friendly and helpful. Antigua is beautiful beyond words.

Royalton CHIC Antigua: Rex (Reck) Halcyon

Lower than our standards but we made the best of it & had a great vacation. Le Carta restaurant on pier is nice (3 times per 1 week stay) lots of mosquitoes. Rooms very basic Linens old but clean. No safe, hairdryer, coffee pot, iron etc. Beach was not the greatest even at Sandals next door. Rocky with seaweed & debri. Antiqua Village further down has the best beach. Beaches in Antiqua are public. I would be very disappointed if we had paid top dollars but considering the price it was [... read more] okay & I was pleased we had come. Would I return to this resort again...... no probably not.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: no surprises....

resort, staff and services exactly as described on web site. Lots of stairs or slopes. staff friendly and helpful. Quiet atmosphere, some sort of entertainment nightly. Food very good . no long lines, lots of beach chairs. Very short trip from airport. Do not hear planes as big hill divides space between.
