Antigua and Barbuda, a stunning twin-island nation in the Caribbean, welcomes travelers with its pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and rich cultural heritage. Beyond its natural beauty, Antigua and Barbuda strive to provide inclusive and accessible experiences for visitors of all abilities.

Accessible Rooms

I recently traveled to this small island, just 108 square miles, on a business trip and stayed at the Royalton Antigua. Overall, I found this all-inclusive hotel to be fairly accessible with just a few rooms that have been adapted.  Be sure to get your accessible room reservation confirmation in writing. I booked my room a month in advance and was told they did not have an accessible room for me when I checked in.  After showing my printout confirmation and demanding to speak with a manager, an accessible room suddenly became available!

The property is large, stretching from the check-in area all the way to its private beach with a wide, easy to navigate sidewalk.  They have two pools, but no pool lift.  They do have an adapted beach chair to help traverse the sand to go into the warm waters of the Caribbean. There are a handful of restaurants to choose from offering a variety of cuisines from pizza to great steaks.  All are accessible but you must make a reservation or get there early as seating fills up quickly, especially during high season.
