3 Star Antigua Holidays

Geoffrey Pasifull

When we arrived to check in we were charged 168 US Dollars for tourists tax for 2 people for 1 week. We were then informed that they wanted another 200 Dollars US as a deposit, Wow!!! Then upon reading the small print I realised that if you wanted your room cleaned it would be another 10 Dollars US a day, not a good start for a so called all-inclusive holiday. During our stay most of the staff were really nice but unfortunately some are really rude and don't deserve to be working in hospitality. We liked the food, especially the burgers by the swimming pool. The rooms are very basic with a small double bed which to be honest was very comfortable. The best thing this hotel has going for it is location, the beach here and scenery are world class to say the least. The hotel swimming pool is also very good. Be warned that from Dusk until Dawn and some you will be attacked endlessly by mosquitos, they especially like ankles. Plenty of spray and bracelets mostly does the trick

Just came back from our 4 day stay at Jolly Beach. We were very skeptical about staying here because of the reviews we read so here's my honest opinion. From the moment we arrived at the hotel we were greeted by friendly staff. I saw a lot of reviews about staff's attitude and to be honest every person we interacted with were friendly and helpful. We got to the resort 2.5 hrs earlier than check in time because of our flight time. We were allowed to leave our bags with them and go to the restaurant for lunch and drinks after which we got our rooms; an hour earlier than we were supposed to. The rooms are small, no denying it but they were clean. The bathroom in the supersaver room is small but like the room, it too was clean. The room had shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, soap, toilet paper, box of tissue paper, hair dryer, safe, iron and ironing board. There's no mini fridge, kettle, water, tea/coffee. The rooms we got were to the extreme end of the resort so we had quite a trek to get to the lobby/restaurant/bar and it rained while we were there and there is no shelter to walk under to get there. On the days we spent there the food at the restaurant and buffet were good and well seasoned. There were bottles of pepper sauce in the buffet which we were happy for. The pool is big, clean and beautiful; the swim up bar is lovely as well. The main attraction is most definitely the beach, gorgeous, calm, clean and just a few foot steps from the pool area. We had a wonderful time at Jolly Beach, will definitely recommend, don't worry about the rooms too much because you won't be spending a lot of time in there anyways.

Review for Jolly Beach Resort: I stayed here for my birthday and honestly, I was disappointed. My room was up several stairways, far from everything. The Wi-Fi didn’t work in the room and was unstable around the property. The TV cable wasn’t clear, the shower was noisy, and the bathroom was very small. Lunch varied but was of poor quality. Dinner and breakfast were fine. The staff in the Palm Restaurant were respectful and polite, and the bar staff were great. However, the staff at the restaurant by the pool were not welcoming at all their attitude made the experience uncomfortable. I stayed my full three nights since it was already booked, but I won’t be returning unless things improve.

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1 out of 5 — only because zero isn’t an option) Our experience at Jolly Beach in Antigua was extremely disappointing. The customer service was virtually nonexistent — unhelpful and inattentive. The food selection was very poor, and items frequently ran out with no effort to restock. To make matters worse, the cleanliness was unacceptable. Our blanket had visible mildew spots, and my husband had to kill small bugs in the room. That alone made it hard to feel comfortable. Even basic amenities were missing — we had no lotion or proper toiletries. When we requested lotion, we were told it wasn’t available. For a resort, that’s completely unacceptable. We only stayed one night, and that was more than enough. I absolutely do not recommend this place to anyone. It fell far below even basic standards of hospitality.

Everything was perfect! From the time we arrived we were greeted by friendly and helpful staff who made check-in quick, made sure we relaxed with cool mint towels and a glass of sparkling wine, and gave us all the information of activities and food for the week. We then received help with our bags to our bungalow which had the most beautiful and relaxing views to enjoy. The waiters/waitresses were amazing going above and beyond to keep dinner flowing smoothly while also making sure you were taken care of. The activities like water sports and yoga were very relaxing but also very fun. Overall this was the best vacation experience I’ve had in all my years of traveling and made our honeymoon perfect!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay! We stayed for a full week and it has the most breathtaking views. The water sports were so much fun to do. Huge thank you to Gerald for teaching us how to sail! Food was soo yummy! Drinks were delicious! The staff is very helpful and friendly. They were on top of everything! We also booked a couples massage at their spa and it was the most relaxed we’ve ever been. I would definitely recommend staying here, it’s worth every penny.

From the moment my Mom and I arrived at Hawksbill, I knew it was special. The resort itself is absolutely gorgeous with lush grounds, breathtaking views, and a sense of serenity. My suite was beautifully appointed, spacious, and thoughtfully designed with loads of privacy and close to the pool and main dining area. But what truly made my stay unforgettable was the staff. Every single person I encountered went above and beyond, creating an atmosphere that felt less like a hotel and more like being welcomed into a family. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care elevated every moment of my visit. I want to especially recognize Corlette, whose kindness and hospitality was particularly noteworthy. She made us feel completely at home. There were many more as well from grounds keepers, housekeeping, water sports, restaurant/bar, gift show lady and reception. Everyone was genuinely wonderful. If you’re looking for a place that combines natural beauty, comfort, and the kind of heartfelt service that lingers long after you leave, Hawksbill is the perfect choice. I can’t wait to return.

It is a lovely Island. The airport and immigration was smooth. This is a very tranquil beautiful all inclusive resort. There are plenty of things to do such as paddle board kayak etc. Beautiful beaches and a nice infinity pool. The food was good, and they rotated the food well. Most of the staff was welcoming with a few exceptions. There are nice concrete paths to walk on, however, you have to watch your footing, there are potential trip hazards especially if you're older or wearing sunglasses.

I traveled with a group of 10 women to help celebrate my 50th. I love resorts on the smaller end so this was perfect as far as being right on the beach. It’s affordable & beautiful. Some areas of the resort could use a little updating. But the beaches really make up for that. the beaches are the main attraction & I enjoyed each & every one of them! As for the food/drinks, I’d like a better variety of breakfast food. Perhaps some more authentic island food as opposed to the heavy European & American staples. Also, did not expect to have to pay extra for top shelf alcohol. Never experienced that at other all-inclusives before. Overall, the resort staff were fine. Some were more attentive than others. Management & Housekeeping really did a great job of making my 50th birthday celebration very special. From the Champagne to the cake, the room decorations & the table at dinner. Beautiful!

My 16-year-old daughter and I stayed at Ocean Point Resort & Spa to celebrate her birthday, and it was truly a peaceful and memorable experience from start to finish. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming — they made us feel like more than just guests. 💕 On our last day, the manager surprised us with an upgrade to a cabana with a stunning ocean view 😍. Even though it was just for one night, this thoughtful gesture turned our trip into something unforgettable. Watching the sunset from our cabana was the perfect ending to her birthday getaway. 🌅✨ The food was another highlight — fresh, personalized, and not buffet-style, which made every meal feel intimate and special. 🍽🌴 The resort still uses traditional room keys 🗝️ instead of modern key cards, which gives it an old-school Caribbean charm. The hallways are simple, with hand-painted signs for directions and even a small bookshelf tucked into a corner, adding a homely touch. 📚 The rooms are clean and practical, with wicker-style furniture, a TV, and a few personal touches like a seashell centerpiece on the patio table. 🌺 The entire atmosphere at Ocean Point is serene and calm, making it ideal for anyone looking to relax, celebrate a special occasion, or simply enjoy peace and tranquility. 🌊✨ This resort truly feels like a hidden gem in Antigua.

What an amazing stay. The staff was extremely friendly (which important with any stay). They were accommodating and because it’s a smaller resort extremely attentive. This hotel is perfect for a chill, relaxing vibe, where you are looking rejuvenate. I have to say if you are looking for a “turn up” resort this isn’t it (which is perfect for me :)). The food was 10 out of 10 (we had the all inclusive option) and the grounds were well kept and clean. By the way… the bartenders are top tier!!! I definitely recommend

We stayed here for 10 fabulous days in April. The pool was fab and very much needed as was the beach for a quick dip here and there. The food was lovely and more than plenty of choices, we had something different nearly every night and the staff were excellent. Full english breakfast every day to set us up, light lunch and three course meal in the evening. The room was comfy with a large bed in a ground floor room just feet from the pool, plenty of sunbeds for everyone. Maybe take some earplugs though as noisy tree frogs chirp all night from sundown to sunrise the next morning. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a picturesque setting with fabulous staff for a lovely relaxing getaway to paradise

We had a great stay. Staff were brilliant and were extremely helpful when booking trips and locating a pharmacy on my behalf. The room was OK but the electrics are not safe and I had an electric shock from the lamp socket. It was reported to reception but not sure if it was sorted or not. The water pressure is poor and the shower trickles out. I'm not sure how this is fixed but it needs rectifying somehow.. we didn't let these things spoil our holiday as we had a fantastic time at Ocean Point and in Antigua. Every member of the team ensured we had the best time. Thank you. Ian & Cris

We had an absolutely fantastic holiday here in April/May. The room was beautifully clean, the staff were fantastic, service was impeccable, the food was lovely, we want to return next year, but currently unavailable to book on TUI. We will keep looking. Pool and beaches were wonderful, no complaints, what a great hotel and staff. The hotel staff are amazing, all can't do enough for you to make your stay enjoyable, highly recommend. No coffee in the rooms but just down the hall, and water, only downside, amazing supermarket 10 mins away though where they do waitrose products. Fabulous shopping in the city, and Shirley Heights is worth a visit for the views
