Rex Resorts - accommodation in Antigua

I traveled with 5 of my bridesmaids for my bachelorette trip. Half of us stayed in what was supposed to be an upgraded Diamond Club room. The day of check in, they did not get access to their room until 9PM. They were given a hospitality room with a sink and shower and forced to shower and change. When they complained and requested compensation for the inconvenience, they were only offered a bottle of alcohol which we all felt was not sufficient. The best place to eat on the resort is Haven Grill. The steakhouse was very mid and bland. I liked my lasagna at the Italian restaurant but some of the girls did not like their food. The chicken wings in the sports bar were also really good and the female bartender in there made the best drinks on the resort (ask for a passionfruit martini). The spa was also beautiful. Julissa did my 80 minute Hot stone massage and it was perfect. The hydrotherapy pools were also complimentary when you book a spa service. The resort does provide daily entertainment, however, it caters to Caucasian tourists. My friends and I are all of Caribbean descent and were disappointed with the quality of entertainment for our demographic. The staff members who made and served our drinks at the various bars around the resort really made our stay memorable : Yoan, Courtney, Adrian and Marlon went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and our cups were never empty.

This is a top notch resort! We loved every moment we were there and that it never felt too crowded! There was always room at all of the pools and plenty of chairs. It is a very romantic resort with beautiful views everywhere!

So overall if you want a quiet relaxing vibe with good food this is the place to stay. Positives -Price point was very reasonable vs value -Food was arguably the best I’ve had at an all inclusive -most bartenders were good, shout out to Andrew who always killed it. -The pool itself was a great size -pool loungers/beds were very nice -The women at the check in are pleasant and helped book our stingray trip which was cheaper than online. -Balcony was nice Negatives -The shower water had a mind of its own and went from alternating boiling to ice bath, played with it enough to have it be usable -The beach needs to be raked it wasn’t useable with all the seaweed, once a week at the least would make the world of difference -There should be some kind of spread for between lunch and dinner, with it not being a buffet there should be real snacks/fruit not random breads. -There should be some kind of activities, we left the resort a lot because there was nothing to do. Overall if your going for a couple days and just want to eat good and Rot on a sunbather than this is 100% the place for you. If you want something lively with some activities then this is the exact opposite.
