“Real Escapism”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We spent a wonderful 8 nights in mid-December 2011 at North Beach. The 20 minute boat trip away from civilization through the lagoon and out towards the northernmost uninhabited tip of Barbuda transports you to an undiscovered Carribean gem. Literally miles of beach and trails to yourself, every meal cooked from fresh using wonderful local seafood, and the clearest night sky we have ever seen. This is back-to-basics pure beach living at its best.

“A wonderful experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

person found this review helpful

My husband and I spent three nights in November at North Beach. If you are looking for Paradise, as Adam and Eve, may have known it, just go there. It is not a palace, so if you are looking for five star resort, it's not the place. If you wish to relax, have a very personal relationship with the owner, Ruben, eat wonderful and fresh lobsters, and just enjoy the sand and sea breeze with very few other guests, this is the place.

“Complete cold shoulder”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

people found this review helpful

Wanted to visit this island for my birthday this August 2011. Tried and tried to contact the owner both on the island and on his cell phone. Left message upon message for at least a week to no avail. Never recieved at least a call back. Luckily enjoyed a gorgeous birthday vacation on Palm Island instead.... I think this Island is for repeat guests only. Too bad...looks like a nice place.

“The Ultimate Chill Out !”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2011
4
people found this review helpful

This was my fourth trip to North Beach Barbuda, staying over, plus another six or so day trips. This is the ultimate place to really chill out and relax. Four very quaint cottages, on a wonderful stretch of beach only accesible by boat. Wonderful hosts, Rueben and Simone, lots of lobster and fresh fish to eat. I love the help yourself attitude to drinks and snacks, or even cooking in my case. Plus they now have their own web site too. Well worth checking it out.

“Most relaxing vacation of my life!”

My wife and I stayed at North Beach, Barbuda for her 40th Birthday. It was amazing! The location is absolutely beautiful. We sailed, swam, fished, read lots of books, and explored the north end of the island. Mr. Ruben James is an excellent host and inredible chef! This is a great place to stay if you really want to get away from it all!
