This hotel is only suitable for couples, but, if you’re a couple, it’s fabulous! The rooms are clean, modern and smart. When booking, make sure you get a bay view room - you won’t regret it. The view is stunning! The service is attentive without being overbearing and although the menu might appear to be, at first glance, limited… there’s a choice for all tastes and diets (including vegetarian). Food and drinks (including cocktails) are tasty / delicious (especially the Pina Colada and the Cheeky Grin). Plus, the hotel is located in a lovely, green and totally unspoilt part of the island (Eastern coast); and although most of Antigua is unspoilt - the East / South East / South is literally… beautiful. This isn’t just somewhere we’d like to return to.., it’s somewhere we absolutely will. Read less

Each room is accessed from outside with its own entrance. The room is modern, with great air-conditioning, an open bathroom area, albeit with a toilet that has a door, and large shower. Each room has a terrace that overlooks the garden or the garden and the sea in the distance and each has its own mattress and plunge pool, exactly as you see in the photo. There is a large bath on the terrace too, which was lovely. The restaurant offers a 3 course lunch and 4 course dinner, usually with 4 options for the main course for dinner. They catered well for my husband's gluten free requirement. The house drinks are included (it is an all inc resort) such as fizz, house wine and some spirits. There was a more limited choice of soft drinks and bottled fizzy water is not included. There is a beautiful quiet beach a short walk up and down a steep hill, but the mini bus also will do the transfers at set times. Beach loungers are provided free of charge and there is a little bar too. There is a small communal swimming pool with sun loungers too next to the open air restaurant. All the staff were super helpful and friendly. This is a small, quiet resort which is great for relaxing. You really need a hire car to get around the island (drive same side as UK but giant pot holes). You can book a taxi to do the airport transfer too which takes around 35 mins. Read less
Very relaxing week

My wife and I had a very relaxing week. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the resort was well maintained. This is a quiet, adults only resort. The front desk staff helped with taxi requests and suggested alternative beachs to visit.

My husband and I spent a week here for our 20th anniversary. It was an absolutely lovely time! The staff was friendly and very accommodating. They fill many roles and do so very well. Teori drove us to the beach our second day on the property and also delivered our floating breakfast on our anniversary. He is the definition of service with a smile. In the dining room we were served by Tishika, Merlisia, Ivanna, Maxine, and Casey (I forgot a few names but they were no less wonderful!) and each meal was made more enjoyable by their willingness to accommodate any of our requests. The food prepared by Chef Danny was spectacular! Each meal had great options and generous portions. No matter who was working the bar they kept the drinks flowing and my husband was particularly fond of the paper plane cocktail. Our room was very comfortable and very nicely sized. We were able to sit out on our patio by the pool in our room every morning to enjoy tea and coffee. The view of the sunset from our room was breathtaking. The property itself is very well maintained. There are many beautiful flowers and plants that I enjoyed looking at as I walked on the property. The complaints? The mosquitos:) so make sure you pack insect repellent; however, if they get a nibble go on Mr. Vorn’s nature walk and he can show you a great native plant that stops the itching immediately. We wish we’d gotten more cash for tipping before we arrived on the resort but will definitely be more prepared the next time we visit. And I almost forgot the New Years Celebration. Very low key, but also very fun! We will definitely be back! Read less

Fantastic resort hotel in lovely location with outstanding rooms which are expertly designed for privacy and exclusion and with wonderful views across the bay. The rooms are comfortable and spacious with all amenities and with a fantastic plunge pool on the balcony so if you want privacy away from it all it’s perfect. It is a quiet and intimate resort but there was some great evening entertainment over the seasonal period in the pool/bar/reception area for those wanting some more fun which did not impact the tranquility of your room terrance if preferred. Food was al a carte in the all inclusive package but we found plenty of variety/choice and of very high standard. It is not an extensive choice on the menu but there are 4 courses with a two choice starter, two choice intermediate including a gorgeous soup every day and then mains with meat, fish and vegetarian choice as well as an “in house” burger. Read some people found the food “bland” which I completely disagree with as all courses were very tasty and well presented while retaining that lovely home cooked we really care feel. The service in the restaurant/ bar was super friendly and efficient and the waiting times between courses was perfect. We found reception staff always friendly and very helpful with an extensive list of activities and excursions available. We opted for a hire car for freedom to explore and proved much more cost effective than taxis or arranged/guided tours but each to their own. There is a resort beach a short free shuttle ride across headland with beach bar included in the package for those wanting to stay local. The sea and immediate beach area are clean and well maintained with free beds but wonder further a field and you witness more litter and less attractive shore lines. Must say many of the Caribbean beaches although clean have lost the “crystal clear water” often used as a marketing tag for the Caribbean. As an avid snorkeller I did find this disappointing as visibility was poor in many locations and clear water bays are hard to find but guess a consequence of over tourism/heavy boat traffic and what many say is rising sea temperatures.
