Abi, My boyfriend and I was searching for a great spring break getaway, we looked at so many places but was unsure of where to go, so we come across The Jolly Beach Resort and decided we would take a risk and booked knowing we never went to Antigua before, but when we reach the hotel, it was a sight...

We vacationed at Jolly Beach from May 9th - 13th. We stayed in the biggest beach cottage the resort had. It did suit our wants. It's positioned slightly behind the two smaller beach cottages. You still have a view of the ocean. Altho, the smaller beach cottages have the best view. The food was very good at ALL the restaurants... More

We arrived on May 5th 2012 for 1 week. After queing to get through immigration for an hour it was great to finally get to the hotel. First impressions were just OK. There is nothing grand about Jolly Beach resort it is just a good 3 star hotel and nothing more. We had a standard room which was perfectly adequate,... More

When we read the reviews before we went we were confused as some people loved it and other disliked strongly. We felt that everyone was right in their own way. it is an old resort and is therefore not as plush as some we have been to before. We had a standard triple which had a king size bed for... More

We came home on 3rd May 2012. It could have been so much better! The room was the smallest double we have ever stayed in (and we had up-graded to standard!) heaven knows what the basic ones are like! It was impossible for two people to cross the room at the same time. My main complaint however is with the... More

We went to the Jolly Beach with an open mind. However, it didn't take long to see that this resort was tired and needs attention. I read all the reviews for weeks up until our trip and I was hoping for the best. Not so. First, they nickel and dime you to death. You have to pay for your safe!... More

My husband and I stayed from April 21-28/12! We had a great stay! Our room was in the Grenada block, 2nd floor with a great view of the beach! We slept with the curtains open and woke up every morning looking out at the serene blue waters without our heads leaving the pillow! One night we even turned off the... More
