This place is DEFINATELY worth chance...
I was SO completely and TOTALLY blown away by my experience here! This was such a wonderful vacation and I really can't wait to go back again! The Room: (We stayed in an Standard room (Room 2010) with a absolutely gorgeous view of the beach. The bed was comfortable- could have had a few more pillows, but I didn't care about that at all. There was a gorgeous deck to sit on and watch the amazing sunsets. All in all, while basic, the room had everything you should need while on vacation. If you're looking for marble bathrooms and oak furniture- it's not your place. The food:It was impressively great! The buffet, the 3 speciality restaurants, all the food was very good and the service was wonderful! All in all, I was VERY impressed!The service:I am STUNNED to hear about people saying the staff was rude. I thought not only the staff, but the people in general (including other guests) were incredibly friendly and polite. The overall experiece:It was a wonderful time and a truly memorable experience. We got WAY above what I had anticipated based on the money we spent. There were 6 weddings while we were there-- I spoke to many of the families wiht those parties all of whom said it was wonderful. There were people with children of all ages and it seemed like everyone had a lovely time.

I stayed at this hotel because it was the largest that Antigua had to offer, but I was wrong about larger being better. I got a standard room thinking it would be good enough for two but it was under "standard" quality. I have been all over the caribbean and never had a room this bad. The funiture was built right into the walls (not like the pictures). The balcony was small and dirty. The bathroom - yuck! dont get me started on the bathroom. As for the staff, some were extremely nice and some were extemely not. We NEVER got a pleasant face from staff at the Coconut Grill, they were especially rude as if we were bothering them or something. The food was okay. The only thing that was nice was the activities staff trying to interact with the vacationers, they had game and activities for the kids. The pool was beautiful from far, but when you get upclose, you wised you never got in. It had mold or something growing on the sides. Oh and for the towels...bring your own. This hotel deceives the eyes. It looks nice from far but, it is far from nice. I should have considered the other reviews before booking and I suggest you do the same. In conclusion, the island of Antigua is a beautiful place to visit but this hotel is a very very big disappointment, it is certainly not worth the money...STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Great Value - Great Time
Seconed time, Jolly Beach. Best beach on Island. People, wonderful. Aren't used to tips so a few dollars,at bar they take care of you.Italian(excellent). Buffet very good,service at all excellent. After 10, no food available, grocery store, Jolly Harbor, cheaper for water ect. Entertainment, excellent. Very friendly and get to know you.Pools are fab and clean. BEACH to die for, mostly empty, clean, glowing turquoise water,calm. Rooms need work . Water a trickle sometimes, alot are showering.Grounds, beautiful. Atmosphere .Half the price of Sandals, best value, Best BEACH!
This hotel gave the least value for my money I have ever had. It is a very expensive hotel and the food is not reflected in the price. The food was very mediocre and limited. The restraunts had many suppliments which were inappropriate for an all inclusive... if you wanted shrimp, steak lobster and some other things there were 22- 32US suppliments. The Italian restraunt had very specific dress code and my sons shoes did not meet with their approval so we were denied entry. The manager was very condesending and rude on this subject.I would not reccomend this hotel nor would I return
the hotel needs major renovation and improvement. there is inadequate lighting and signage on buildings. grounds are not as manicured as expected. food at all inclusive leaves much to be desired. they serve grain alcohol... buy your own...rooms are minimal and towels are like sandpaper and are scarce.
The room was basic, but very clean. We were right off the beach. The beach is fabulous and so is the big pool. The drinks never stop. Staff is great if you are pleasant and friendly to them. The bugs on the beach at night were bad. Bring bug spray. The best star gazing we have ever encountered. The food at all of the restaraunts was really, really good. The locals hawking on the beach can get tiresome. Had a great time, plan on going back this fall.
