I have just returned from 2 weeks in Antigua and St Lucia, staying at the Rex Halcyon in Antigua at Dickenson bay next to the Sandals resort, and at the Royal St Lucian also by Rex on Reduit Beach (Rodney Bay) in St Lucia. The holiday was overall excellent one of the best we have ever had. I intend this... more

My wife and I just returned from six days in St. Lucia, our very first trip to the island. The Royal by Rex aka Royal St. Lucian was our hotel choice - because of location, appearance and price, it was the perfect choice for our stay. We learned about this hotel from the positive reviews on Tripadvisor. So it's not... more

I love the Royal, have been staying there since 2003. Everyone is very friendly and helpful, Troy, Vanessa, Daniella, Maria (Carey)...and even my past friends who no longer work there make it the best experience for me. Yes, it's now a little dated, but clean, great ocean view and friendly staff. Plus, the location is great! Troy and Patson make... more

We stayed in the Royal for a week before moving to Ti Kaye Village. We got married at the Royal during our stay and absolutely loved every minute of the whole week there. All the staff were excellent, friendly and helpful including Dina (who organised our wedding in Nerissa's absence). We booked on the breakfast only deal as there are... more

Dear Travellers, We spent a week and Royal by Rex and thoroughly enjoyed the hotel. The room was lovely. We were on the ground floor, found flowers left with the turn-down and the room sprayed for mosquitos. We really liked the separation between the bedroom and the sitting room. The bathroom had a separate shower (with side jets!) and a... more

A fantastic fortnight at the Royal in April 2008. This was a first family holiday in the Caribbean and we now understand the people who go back to the Royal over and over again (met one family there on 14th consecutive holiday!) Just some reasons why we liked it so much: - extremely clean water and beach, lovely thick soft... more

This is our fifth time of returning to the Royal, all that I can say is that we have already made plans to go back next year. What makes the Royal so special for Marion and I are the guys that run this place from Narissa at front desk and Joseph the bar manager down through to Troy and the... more

We stayed at the Royal from 3/18/2008 - 3/22/2008, on a spur-of-the-moment trip. Given some of the reviews, I was somewhat apprehensive about the property. Thus, we kept our expectations low. These misgivings were mostly unfounded, however, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I'll begin by saying we did not utilize the food service very much, as that seemed to... more

Back at the Royal for the 9th time in 17 years. Just as wonderful as ever since went on honeymoon in 1991. The Staff is brilliant and very helpful. Troy makes wonderful cocktails! The rooms are very clean, large and the Beachfront Suite is just the best for relaxing and watching the sun go down. Hotel food is wonderful -... more
