Ocean Point Resort & Spa

Antigua, Caribbean

Virgin rating

The hotel

At times you’ll get the impression you’re in the heart of Italy – at others there’s no denying you’re in the Caribbean. Exclusively for adults, Ocean Point Resort & Spa is a kick-off-your-flip flops fusion of the idyllic Med and the exotic Tropics. From its gardens, where bougainvillea grows among palm trees, to its fabulous Sottovento Beach Club, where chefs will use fresh island produce as you dine just steps from the sea. This may be a far cry from home, with its huge beachfront pool and two seductively sandy coves, but the family owners have created a truly homely space, complete with a resident cat and dog, informal yet comfy guest rooms, and day trips for snorkelling and turtle spotting.

We stopped here for 2 weeks in January 2025 and I have mixed feelings about the place.It has a great couple of beaches and plenty of space on the patios for sun worshipping.The staff are genuinely friendly and very helpful particularly the bar staff and the porters.The rooms however are very dated, the showers are unreliable and the towels are like very thin flannels.The restaurant I would say needs a big shake up.Instead of 1 waiter tending to 4-5 tables one table gets waited on by 4-5 waiters so sometimes total confusion reigns.The "all inclusive" menu consists of 14 dishes but the Statement menu consists of 29 dishes.The "all inclusive" menu is particularly bland after a couple of days but they do have specials every night so when we ordered a special at 19:30 we were informed the dish was no longer available,low and behold the dish reappeared a little while later.On one occasion we waited over 30 minutes to be served and after complaining we were given a voucher for 2 Lobster dishes which was fair really.Alltogether I would suggest the hotel is probably overpriced with some very good points and some points that really need addressing.

We stayed 3 night at Ocean Pt in Mid December and were very pleased. Nice, quaint, and quiet.... just what we were looking for. The room was very nice, with a beautiful large balcony overlooking the swimming pool. AC worked fine. Although there was a TV in the room, we could not find any broadcast channels. However you can easily log into your Netflix, or other accounts to watch TV. Check in was easy using an Ipad. Very interesting structure, an old sugar cane mill. Beaches were small and very nice. TAKE WATER SHOES, although you can get by without them. The beach on the far side of the restaurant was nicer since it was better protected. Nice places swim, read, and relax. It was not very crowded when we stayed there. Water was a bit cloudy due to the wind. Not sure if snorkeling is any good. Food was excellent. I had fresh fish all three nights. Breakfast and lunch were good too. We did not order any "Signature" meals. Dining staff was very good and attentive. Note there is only one bar and dining area. You can book various tour through the lobby, but we did not. Not a lot to do after dinner except drink, sit outside, listen to the waves and watch the stars. We were extremely happy with our stay and would gladly return. Read less

We arrived at the hotel early evening for our ten day break,short check in process then porter took us and our cases to our room. Room was a nice size on first floor, good view of pool and bay, patio doors to good size balcony with table and comfortable chairs, room clean bed very comfortable good shower unusually no wardrobe but there is a rail so no problem. House keeping very good with no issues, All the meals are A La Carte breakfast menu is extensive with everything included in all inclusive, lunch and dinner A La Carte is quite varied on the all inclusive menu plus there are always specials also, there is a signature menu that runs along side this but this is payable,we did this one night very good a might expensive and no discount for being all inclusive. There is a water and coffee station at reception and on the stairwells. Drinks were very good even house wine was quaffable, service at the bars was good as was the service around the pools this was generally without exception the case with all the staff. There two beaches the smaller one has no breakwater so the sea is a little more livelier plenty of sun beds at both beaches never any issues with sun bed hogs. Pool very clean a might chilly this I doubt would not be problem had the weather been hotter pool towels as when needed. Entertainment was fairly muted but the atmosphere was very good around the bar. Our highlight of our holiday was the helicopter tour to Montserrat. Overall we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

My wife and I are now back in the U.K. after a lovely 10 days at Ocean Point Hotel and Spa. Although the room we had could, perhaps, have done with a little updating, it was of good size, high ceilinged, the bed was extremely comfy and the air con was very efficient. We’d arrived late the night before, but to open the curtains on that (!) view ? Palm trees, a spotless swimming pool, then mere metres away, a small beach and The Caribbean sparkling in sunshine ? Impossible not to smile ! Breakfast ? Tbh I’ve had better BUT the food served at lunch and at the evening meal was really excellent, very tasty and always well presented. And, you’ve never tasted rum and raisin ice cream like it ! Wonderful (…and enough rum in it to fail a breathalyser !) Staff at the hotel - without exception - are friendly and welcoming, a real credit to themselves and the hotel management. If you want a bustling nightlife with a noisy disco, you won’t find it at Ocean Point (thank goodness) …but if all you want is to relax and unwind and listen to the waves, to enjoy good food and meet other likeminded guests in a tranquil, beautiful location…you’ve come to the right place. Thanks to everyone at Ocean Point, we had a lovely time. Read less

We had a great holiday at the Ocean Point. It was better than we expected. The layout of the hotel was great, with a lovely big pool and a great bar and restaurant right next to two beaches and plenty of seating areas and sun beds. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The choices of food in the restaurant and the quality were very good. The house wines that were included in the all-inclusive package were not the best but drinkable. The wine to purchase was nice and relatively inexpensive. The rooms were good and the bed was very comfortable with hard and soft pillows to suit your taste. The hot water was a bit intermittent, but that was only a minor issue. There was a large flat screen TV in the room, but no instructions as to how to get the UK channels. This proved a real challenge! The air conditioning in the room was good and relatively quiet, which was important to us. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality middle of the range hotel. We booked our all-inclusive package, including flights and airport transfers with TUI. Read less
