We had a very pleasant stay here over Christmas. I too was concerned by the poor reviews but found the criticisms to be unfounded. As some others have pointed out, this is not a 5* resort and if this is what you are looking for then there are plenty in Antigua although they are two or three times the cost.... More

Took three days to be repaired. No ventilation in the bathroom. Took four days to get the towels correct. Went to the seafood restaurant, at opening one evening and two... More

I was not impressed with the quality of service from our hotel, mind you it was a 3.5 star resort. The rooms were clean, do not go for the super saver upgrade to standard. Restaurants on site were great. Even though not impressed with hotel our beach was probably the most impressive of all the beaches we visited on Antigua... More

Well what can I say, we arrived in Antigua Jan. 28, 2012 and stayed at the Jolly Beach Resort for a week. To start off, I will label this place as a strong 3.5 star resort. The beach was definitely a 4 star for sure with white sand beaches and turquoise water, very picturesque. The water was warm-ish but the... More

We stayed here in December 2011, This is a good value resort hotel in a stunning location. The beach faces southwest so you are looking down along the carribean island chain, this also means that you get the full beachside sunset experience, which is really brilliant especially in a budget resort. The hotel also has 4 hobie cats for sailing... More

To avoid boring you all, I will keep short. A 3 star hotel with smallish rooms that are clean but basic, same with the bathroom. Food is fine and plenty of it. Pools are excellent and by far the best thing is the staff. Everyone we meet was happy, polite and genuine. The beach is amazing and the evening entertainment... More

This place was awful, best thing was the one woman who greeted us, after that, nasty. Someone said "don't let the bedbugs bite" and they weren't kidding. We didn't want to get under the covers. No towels, no kleenex, faucets were rusty, no screen on the door and there are biting flying things! The a/c was old and loud. Restaurant... More
