the 294-suite Royalton Antigua Resort &amp; Spa, which opened in May; Hodges Bay Resort &amp; Spa, which debuted in December; and the planned debuts of Hammock Cove by Elite Island Resorts, Rosewood Half Moon Bay Antigua and Waldorf Astoria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe influx of these top luxury all-inclusive brands will help promote the destination,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Paula Whitehead, Elite Island
