We had a wonderful week's stay at the Carlisle Bay. While we have stayed in many supposed five star hotels, this is one that lives up to that billing in every respect, it's a stunning location and an almost faultless hotel. We stayed with our 18 month old daughter and the facilities for infants & kids alike, are amongst the... More

I just came back from 1 week vacation at Carlisle Bay. I love the location and the fact the your suite is right on the beach. The main room is very nice; second bedroom however is very dark and has a loud fridge in it - I would not be happy if I had to sleep there (luckily we did... More

We recently spent 8 days at the hotel and stayed in an ocean suite fairly close to the sailing centre. The room was fantastic and faultlessly equipped. The day bed on the balcony was almost as comfy as the bed itself! The hotel staff were friendly, efficient and incredibly obliging. We had a great time. The hotel is great and... More

Dear Danny M Thank you for taking the time to write, and I am very pleased to read you enjoyed your stay and would come back. I am sorry you felt that wines were expensive, notwithstanding the inherently higher costs of bringing products to a small island; we do try very hard to maintain fair prices and intend to consistently...

Choose Carlisle Bay as a luxury beach resort and was not disappointed. Very large well equiped beautiful suite on first floor, 216, adjacent to the sailing centre. Staff all very friendly. Food excellent in both restaurants - only slight issue was on first night when we went to dinner in Indigo at 7 pm there were several children moving around... More

Dear Fenman 49 Thank you for writing on tripadvisor, and I’m pleased that you enjoyed your holiday. I’m sorry to see that you were disturbed by children in the restaurant on the first evening. We do try to have adults enjoy a relatively calm evening, and provide complimentary separate childrens meals until 6.30 pm in another venue pool side. We... More

i chose Carlisle Bay for my wedding at the end of October 2011. My fiance and I decided that we wanted to get married in the Caribbean on the beach, just the two of us with no family, no friends - no stress and no complications. After months of careful research, we decided against using a chain company like Sandals... More

We have just returned from 8 days at Carlisle Bay Antigua. We have holidayed in the carribean numerous times. We have enjoyed quality of service on several occasions, friendly staff on many occasions but very rarely both. The whole team seem happy to be there and delighted to have you as a guest. All rooms are suites and are large.... More

Dear Lilkal, Thank you for sharing your comments following your visit to Carlisle Bay. We were so pleased to read that you enjoyed the experience and intend to return. We did indeed open our third restaurant called ‘Ottimo!’ last December, an Italian restaurant which features a wood burning pizza oven and serves classic Italian dishes and antipasti. I am sorry...

This review needs a disclaimer: Because this trip was work related and I did not pay for it, I have no concept of "value." I can only comment on the restaurants, facilities, and service. Shuttle from airport 45 minutes to an hour. I enjoyed the treatment when we arrived. We received refreshments (watermelon juice) and cold towels. We were given... More

I have just returned from a nine night stay with my husband and 9 year old daughter during the school half term week. We arrived the day the hotel had just opened from a six week closure. We were told by the General Manager the resort would be quiet for the first few days getting busier as the week went... More

Just a truly wonderful (and much needed) vacation. We arrived on opening day for the 2011/2012 season, and had an amazing time. The suite was lovely, and we had a wonderful view of the beach and mangrove (from the back of the unit). Service was great and we loved the entire experience. Cannot wait to go back! More

We spent a week on our honeymoon at Carlisle bay which we expected to have the most memorable ever travel experience of both of ours lives. In fact, we had that but it was memorable for all the wrong reasons. We paid an unbelievable amount of money to go to this worn out and tired looking place which looked like... More
