After just returning from my 3rd trip to the wonderful resort, I thought now would be a great time to write a fair review for the resort - especially after all negative responses the hotel is getting. Allow me to start with the staff of the resort. The staff are friendly and incredibly polite! Goodness knows where the rubbish about... more

We travelled to Jolly Beach back in 2007 for my best friends wedding and had an absolutely wonderful time, The hotel is a bit tired and dated but it is only a 3* which people seem to forget, if you want 5* you will need to pay 5* prices. The beach is the most beautiful I have ever seen. We... more

My husband and I traveled to Antigua for our honeymoon for 2 weeks, from August 3-16, 2009. After reading some of the reviews from others who stayed at the resort the same time as us, I was kind of amazed. So I just thought I'd give my perspective. Here goes for our trip... The rooms - As mentioned, they are... more

We are a family of four that travels to the Caribbean once a year for an all-inclusive family vacation. We have stayed at numerous (see our map please) resorts and have never been disappointed until this trip. Some examples: -Jolly beach claims to have five bars to services you: At no point during our stay were there five bars open.... more

My wife and I stayed at JBR from 8-11 thru 8-18. Beach: The beach is amazing. The water is beautiful, however a little milky. A Brit told us Jolly Harbor had been dredged a few months back and the sand was dumped into Jolly Bay. We did snorkel , but couldn’t see until you reached the bottom. We picked up... more

Thanks very much for taking the time to write a review. I’m sorry that you experienced trouble with the air-conditioner in your room, and that it was necessary to switch your room during your stay. We have been experiencing some super-heated days and it can prove a challenge to keep a consistent temperature within all rooms. I will copy your...

I went to Jolly Beach for a week with my son and we had a fantastic time. For us, the main plus was the location- right next to an amazing white beach. There were two big pools and we tended to sit next to the quieter one. The main pool was where all the activity was going on - great... more

Thanks so much for the great review; it’s nice to hear that you and your son enjoyed your vacation time together. You’re so right -- the mile-long beach at Jolly is the best. We value your feedback on our menus and appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your dining experience. I will pass on your suggestion...

The beach is a great place, its clean and the sea is... more
