点评:ANTIGUA, DEEP BAY, Royalton Hotel Resort....It's A Must for Families & Adults....White Sands (no shoes really needed), Clear Blue Water, Only Waves in the Bay when Jet Skis visit for business, they have a place halfway down the beach & Catamarans drop Off & Pickup day trippers even further down the beach - Not A Problem!
Deep Bay is absolutely Brilliant for Young & Old who want to Swim Safely or just Dip & Soak in the Clear Blue Waters - PERFECT!...Take a banana or bread with you to the beach and a variety of fish (young swordfish with colors of blue, green and gold) just swim around you. You can even spot the occasional small stingray in the shallow clear water. Snorkel safely and you might see a larger stingray in the cordoned off swim area. Take a Kayak or the 3 Wheeler (Tractor looking) new type of Pedilo) beware, I went out in the Bay with someone much younger, 20 year old and he said further out from shore that this 'pedilo' could do with an engine -What! - I ended up peddling this Blue Tractor Contraption BACKWARDS to shore, as it was the easiest way for Retired Me! We managed to see a Green Turtle for 10 seconds and I caught a glimpse of the Head of a Leatherback Turtle, only momentarily.
BEACH: You have mattresses for your sunbeds and an abundance of Towels which you can change often. There's a Beach Bar and an Italian Restaurant down at the Beachfront. Because we were in the wet season (mid-August to mid-October) the Italian Restaurant is used for Caribbean Food Nights as well. Toilets are near the Pool, the Italian Restaurant and even at the Children's Small Water Theme Park area which is situated yards before the main beach area. Your walk down from your accommodation block to the beach takes you only minutes. As you walk down the views to your left and front are to behold. All the concrete structures are to your left hand side and to your right is the Beautiful Coastal Landscape Scenery which includes Fort Barrington which sits 130 feet above sea level on what used to be called Goat Hill. WOW FACTOR!
Fort Barrington (1792 named after Admiral Barrington) you just walk (600 meters approx) along the beach to the end and turn right at the Palm Trees just after the small Fresh Lobster Restaurant (more like a Wooden Structure, has a couple of wooden tables & seats for diners) and in less than 100 meters you will come across a loose shale footpath that will take you to the Top of Fort Barrington, the only Fort on the island that provided a defence for Sea & Land attacks and covers the Entrance to St john's the Capital. The Views Are Fantastic! You get to see the whole of Deep Bay from above, The Sea around the Fort and the Entrance to St John's Capital and Docking area. This is where the Ocean Cruise Liners & Japanese Car Cargo Ship enter and we were fortunate to see both from our 5th Floor Seaview Balcony wnen we stayed between 7th Sept - 16th Sept 2025.
Fresh Lobster Restaurant is Only Opened between 11am - 15.30pm. You get to pick your own fresh lobster from the cage on the beach. Price US$40-50 depending on size. Freshly cooked to perfection. Swim while you Wait. You won't be disappointed.
Deep Bay has a Shipwreck at its entrance to the Bay marked by a White Buoy. You can Kayak safely to it, touch the top of the Steamship Mast and see the whole shipwreck, still in one piece below the surface. Better still. The Beach Activity Team on the Beach can take you out in a motor dinghy for you to snorkel at the sunken shipwreck for US$20 per person.
British Steamship, 3 Masts, commissioned 1874, set sail from Tobago, a cargo of Barrels of Pitch bound for CHILE, to repair the countries roads, 4th June 1905 and sank 9th June 1905. One report states friction under one of the ships mast started a fire close to the engine room, which blew a hole in its side. The ship was pointed towards the shore and all the crew (swam I believe) survived. Intersting, WHY? was the SS ANDES heading 5 days North, when Tobago is so close tp the Eastern Side of South America. The PANAMA CANAL Construction was started in 1903 and Only Completed in 1914. So WHY? sail North and not Directly SOUTH?
Whilst staying at the Royalton Hotel we found the Staff very cooperative and helpful. I just don't understand reading other holiday makers bad reviews about them. This is my 3rd Trip to Antigua, We LOVE what the Island has to offer ands we'll be back again. it was also our 14th trip to the Caribbean since 2006 -2025. Next Year we've already booked the Royalton Hotel, Granada, Apr - May'26. You will never satisfy punters 100% but here at the Royalton Hotel they do try to achieve the highest standards for All. If something isn't to your liking, Just Ask and I'm sure The staff will do their Utmost to rectify and meet your requirements.
Victor (A Real Gent) Property Manager for Royalton Hotels in the West Indies, Jamaica, St Lucia etc was a person great to talk with and listener of any suggestions one had for improvements.
There's a very nice separate Coffee Building just past the Hotel Main Bar area en route to the Sports Bar & Main Dining Restaurant. We suggested to Victor that the Beach Front lacked a Coffee, Hot Drinks Station. Only the small Diamond Beach Bar Area provided Coffee etc. Well we also like the Odd Hot Coffee instead of Cold Drinks availability at the Beach Front - So, Victor has gone ahead and put in a proposal to their Financial Dept etc for such to be implemented.
The 10-12 FANS stretching from the Main Reception Area, past the Main Hotel Bar / Stage Area right to the Coffee Shop were not working. Theses Victor said, will be replaced. They need to be sorted, as it was unbearable hot most evenings. Hopefully, the FANS will be operational Very Soon if not Already for the next Visitors to this luvely destination.
We booked during the wet season. Booked early, got a real bargain price & 2 days out of 10 days heavy Rain + Lightning & Thunderstorm. Lots of us sat under our Parasols, towels wrapped around us admiring the spectacular Lightning & Heavy Downpour for a couple of hours. Once the rain stopped, we all changed our towels for fresh ones. Not A Problem. Well, it is their wet season and the Hurricane Season for the Caribbean. Once its Rained its Hot Sunshine Again. Not A Problem. PLEASE Do Refrain Going Into The Sea When Its A Lightning Storm, for Your Safety
We would Recommend Strongly DEEP BAY RESORT for FUTURE FAMILY & ADULT HOLIDAYMAKERS. ENJOY! Roman, Halyna & Chrystyna Chudzij & Good Friends we had the Pleasure to Meet at The Royalton Hotel, Antigua.
A Big Thank You To All The Staff Who Made Our Holiday Such A Memorable One. We Look Forward To Our Next Visit at Deep Bay.
翻译:安提瓜岛,深湾,皇家酒店度假村……这里是家庭和成人的必游之地……洁白的沙滩(无需穿鞋),清澈湛蓝的海水,海湾里只有海浪。如果是商务用途的水上摩托艇,它们会在海滩中段停放,而双体船则会在海滩更远处停靠和接送一日游的游客——这完全没问题!
深湾绝对是老少皆宜的好去处,无论男女老少,都可以在这里安全地游泳,或者只是在清澈湛蓝的海水中泡个澡——完美!……带上香蕉或面包去海滩,各种各样的鱼(比如蓝、绿、金色的小剑鱼)就在你身边游来游去。你甚至可以在清澈的浅水中偶尔看到小黄貂鱼。安全地浮潜,你可能会在划定的游泳区看到更大的黄貂鱼。乘坐皮划艇或三轮车(看起来像拖拉机)——新型的“恋童癖”(Pedilo)时要小心,我和一个比我年轻得多的人(20岁)一起去海湾,他在离岸更远的地方说,这种“恋童癖”可以用发动机——什么!——我最终把这个蓝色拖拉机装置倒着推回岸边,因为这对退休的我来说最方便!我们看到了一只绿海龟,持续了10秒钟,我还瞥见了棱皮龟的头,但只是一瞬间。
海滩:这里有床垫可以当日光浴床,还有大量的毛巾可以经常更换。海滨有一个海滩酒吧和一家意大利餐厅。因为我们当时正值雨季(8月中旬到10月中旬),所以意大利餐厅也被用来举办加勒比美食之夜。洗手间位于泳池、意大利餐厅附近,甚至儿童小型水上主题公园区域也位于主海滩区几码远的地方。从住宿区步行到海滩只需几分钟。沿途左侧和前方的景色令人叹为观止。所有混凝土建筑都位于您的左手边,右侧是美丽的海岸风光,其中包括海拔130英尺的巴灵顿堡,它位于曾经被称为山羊山的地方。真是令人叹为观止!
巴林顿堡(建于 1792 年,以巴林顿海军上将的名字命名)您只需沿着海滩步行(约 600 米)到尽头,然后在小型鲜龙虾餐厅(更像是一个木结构建筑,有几张木桌和座椅供食客使用)后的棕榈树处右转,不到 100 米,您会遇到一条松散的页岩小路,这条小路将带您到达巴林顿堡的顶部,这是岛上唯一一座防御海陆攻击并覆盖首都圣约翰入口的堡垒。景色棒极了!您可以从上方看到整个后海湾、堡垒周围的大海以及首都圣约翰入口和停泊区。这里是远洋邮轮和日本汽车货船的入口,我们很幸运,在2025年9月7日至16日入住期间,从五楼的海景阳台上看到了这两艘船。
鲜龙虾餐厅仅在上午11点至下午3点30分开放。您可以从海滩上的笼子里挑选新鲜的龙虾。价格根据大小在40-50美元之间。新鲜烹制,完美无瑕。您可以边游泳边等待,绝对不会失望。
后海湾的入口处有一艘沉船,以白色浮标为标志。您可以安全地划皮划艇前往沉船,触摸轮船桅杆的顶部,欣赏整艘沉船,它仍然完好无损地沉在水面下。更棒的是,海滩活动团队可以带您乘坐机动小艇前往沉船处浮潜,每人20美元。
这艘英国轮船,三桅,于1874年服役,于1905年6月4日从多巴哥启航,满载沥青桶前往智利,负责修复该国的道路。该船于1905年6月9日沉没。一份报告称,其中一艘船桅杆下方的摩擦导致机舱附近起火,并在船舷炸出一个洞。船身朝岸边驶去,所有船员(我相信是游泳的)都幸免于难。有趣的是,为什么?安第斯号要向北航行五天,而多巴哥距离南美洲东部如此之近。巴拿马运河始建于1903年,直到1914年才竣工。那么,为什么?它要向北航行而不是直接向南航行呢?
入住Royalton酒店期间,我们发现工作人员非常合作且乐于助人。我实在无法理解为什么其他度假者会给他们差评。这是我第三次来安提瓜,我们热爱这座岛屿的一切,我们一定会再来的。这也是我们自2006年至2025年的第14次加勒比海之旅。我们已经预订了明年4月至5月格拉纳达的Royalton酒店。您永远无法让客人100%满意,但Royalton酒店致力于为每位客人提供最高标准。如果您有任何不满意的地方,尽管提出,我相信工作人员会竭尽全力纠正并满足您的要求。
Victor(一位真正的绅士)西印度群岛Royalton酒店的物业经理,牙买加圣卢西亚(St Lucia)等人非常乐于沟通,并且乐于倾听任何改进建议。
酒店主酒吧区旁边,通往体育酒吧和主餐厅的路上,有一间非常漂亮的独立咖啡厅。我们向维克多(Victor)反映,海滩边缺少咖啡和热饮服务。只有小型的钻石海滩酒吧区提供咖啡等。我们也对海滩边供应热咖啡而不是冷饮感到不满——所以,维克多(Victor)已经向财务部门等部门提交了一份提案,希望能够实施这项措施。
从主接待区,穿过酒店主酒吧/舞台区,一直延伸到咖啡厅的10-12台风扇一直无法使用。维克多(Victor)说,这些风扇将被更换。这些风扇需要维修,因为大多数晚上都热得让人难以忍受。希望这些风扇能够尽快投入使用,即使现在还不能,也能为下一批来到这个美丽目的地的游客提供服务。
我们是在雨季预订的。提前预订,价格非常划算,而且10天里有两天都遭遇了暴雨、闪电和雷暴。我们很多人都坐在遮阳伞下,裹着毛巾,欣赏着壮观的闪电和倾盆大雨,一连几个小时。雨停后,我们都换了新的毛巾。没问题。嗯,现在是加勒比海的雨季和飓风季节。下雨后,烈日炎炎。没问题。为了您的安全,雷暴天气时请勿下海。
我们强烈推荐深湾度假村给未来的家庭和成人度假者。好好享受吧!Roman、Halyna、Chrystyna Chudzij 和我们的好朋友们在安提瓜皇家酒店见面。
非常感谢所有工作人员,是他们让我们的假期如此难忘。我们期待下次再来深湾度假村。
