I hate super long reviews but I will say that alot of people complain over very simple things...It is not the Sandals resort...but you also do not pay the Sandals price...The hotel itself isn`t new, but its properly maintained and was sufficient. I upon cheeckin always request very politely for their best room that they can possibly give me in... More

Let me begin by saying that the only good thing about this hotel was the location at one point about 15 years ago this hotel was modern now everything is outdated there is a smell in the lobby and the room . The shower would back up and water would stay in . There wasn't any closet space at all... More

The rooms are tiny, the bathrooms are dingy, tiny and without any ammenities, the air conditioning doesn't work, there are tiny bugs in the room and bathroom, some rooms dont have phones, the food is greasy and felt like we were at camp (actually camp food tasted better). The only good thing about this property is the willingness of the... More

We chose Jolly Beach through Virgin Holidays, as a value, all-inclusive 3* resort. Based on TripAdvisor reviews, our expectations were of staying in a basic, slightly down-at-heal resort, with a magnificent beach and calm warm waters, and 80-85 degree temperatures. In short, the resort more than met our expectations at every level, and as regular travellers comfortable with backpacker through... More

Just returned from a week booked through Cheap Caribbean including transfers. Weather was warm but not HOT which is normal for January..... about 80-82 average for our stay. Transfer from airport was about 1/2 hour with quick trip to reception for check-in which was fairly quick for the islands. We got escorted to our room about 100 yards away and... More

The Jolly Beach Hotel & Spa Don't spend your hard earned money going to this resort, it's so disgusting no human should have to injure. I booked our Antiguan Virgin Package Holiday in December on the recommendation of one of Virgins Travel agent Kensington Branch (over the telephone back in December 2011) who sad that he had first had experience...

We were extremely disappointed in this hotel. The magnificent pool is unheated and very cold.The swim-up bar is inoperable "since the last big storm"....pool is too cold anyway. Entire property seems to be deteriorating. There was no minibar in our room... bottles of water are not provided and must be purchased. Only 3 special restaurants are available, but one woman...

Booked trip with CheapCaribbean.com expected too much I guess. Room was just disgusting. Bed was more like two boxsprings. Pillows were old and washed out very hard. Check in was incredibly slow. At midnight they could not find a clean room for us.. found one with no towels and no deadlock on the door.... very mildewy all around. bathroom hardly... More

I Stayed the the Jolly Beach Resort and Spa from 07 to 21 Jan 2012. It is a big sprawling complex , without the personal touch. The hotel is old and looking tired. I went as a single traveller and was given a very poor room on the ground floor a few steps from the main entrance, noisy and no... More
