The Caribbean’s hottest all-inclusive destination has welcomed another new resort.

Blue Diamond’s Royalton Antigua has officially opened its doors on the island’s beautiful Deep Bay, another all-inclusive in the destination’s enviable portfolio.

The new 294-room all-inclusive has a range of amenities, from a kids’ club to a signature spa.

For now, it’s a soft opening, with some amenities like the casino and some eateries still finishing up construction.

It’s set about 30 minutes from Antigua’s VC Bird International Airport, with a family-friendly focus, a beautiful beach and signature brand amenities like 24-hour room service, “DreamBeds” and weekly themed pool and beach parties.

Still to come? A group of spectacular overwater bungalows, which will be the first of their kind in Antigua, slated to open in June.
