This resort is a such diamond. Honestly the beach alone would sell it but everything the food, drinks and hospitality are 11/10
I came on my honeymoon here for 2 weeks and me and wife had the best time ever. All the staff are so helpful and attentive. My wife lost her apple watch in the bedsheets we told front of house and they managed to dig it out of the mountains of laundry they do daily.
Staff members like Clinton really went the extra mile to make us feel happy and cared for at the resort. Rebecca at the tours desk was so funny but hardworking and efficient she even came and found us on the beach to let us know our tour was booked.
The pizza factory is so nice too my advice is book it as much as possible as the drinks are better than the normal stuff at the bar.
The resort is very old so don't go expecting 5* facilities your plug socket might not work in your room but if you view it as a place to just sleep and not spend the whole day you'll be fine. I would definitely come back in the future. As long as you know what you're getting you won't be disappointed

What a beautiful location, one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. The resort was purchased recently and improvements are being made daily. Painting, updates to outside furniture. The food was delicious, staff very helpful and friendly. The rooms are older and in the process of being updated. Even being our 35th wedding anniversary we didn't even get an acknowledgment or an upgrade. The basic rooms have no refrigerator or coffee maker which was disappointing. A broom and dust pan would make the lack of room service much more tolerant. Getting a reservation to the Italian restaurant was near impossible, we gave up. A grocery store is 5 minutes walk for any forgotten items. No ATM at the resort, one at the store that was out of money. Had to take a taxi.to st johns, nut you can't beat this resort for the money. The pools.are clean, the beaches are cleaned every morning morning, the mornings are amazing and the sunset even more amazing. Plans to return

I went on vacation here with a big group (over 20). Almost every single person had a problem with their rooms. They were dirty, lacking refrigerators, broken coffee makers, leaky, small, and old. We made a big deal the first night because we had elderly with health problems (such as diabetics) that needed fridges (that were promised but not given), and that the rooms needed to be cleaned because we had people with asthma. We were told we had to "deal with it" for a couple days. After pestering the front desk we were given a fridge in one of the rooms and got cleaning done. The buffet was good but they were a little unorganized. Breakfast was good (singing waitress was amazing!), lunch is bare-boned, and dinner was good. The beach is phenomenal!!! I did not swim in the pool but it looked great. The resort is old and run-down. They are doing work in the back so you'll hear a lot of construction. Leaks everywhere, expect to get dripped on everywhere (hallways, rooms, etc). Only one restaurant other than the buffet (Pizza Factory). It's good but it has few things. The workers are mostly nice (the manager can be a little brash and unhelpful), with the exception of a couple workers that get overly flirty with my teenage daughter. At night there is either a DJ or a woman singing. Nothing really for entertainment but that (though the woman singing had a wonderful voice).Supermarket and restaurants near resort. (walking distance). You are recommended to book trips outside with the hotel. We did so, paying 110 US$ for a trip around Antigua.It was terrible, worth maybe 40 at most.
Expect to leave covered in beach flies (this isn't the resorts fault, just making it known) A girl from our party left early and was told by her doctor the red bumps were bedbugs, but they weren't. They are beach flies.

I must say, it exceeded my expectations! The food and drinks were delicious, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the beach was beautiful.
Although the hotel was fully booked, we were pleasantly surprised to find that it was easy to secure shade and beach chairs, and there were no long lines for food and drinks.
We had no issues with hot water or the public bathrooms, which were always clean.
We appreciated that the tap water in our room was safe to drink, making things more convenient.
The weather was gorgeous every day, with quick and light rain showers that didn't bother us at all. We loved our vacation in Jolly Beach!

My family chose Jolly Beach for our family vacation. It was eight of us including my 12-year-old niece. We were able to check in smoothly and were placed in different rooms around the property. For the rooms a little further away, the staff was gracious enough to drive us in golf carts. The rooms were dated but comfortable. We had a balcony that looked to the ocean and the sunsets were beautiful. The food was quite wonderful. The Pizza Factory is a popular restaurant there and my brother-in-law had to wake up at 6:30 a.m. to get in line to make a reservation for that evening. They do not take early reservations. For the excursions, we worked with Margaret on the grounds who is a rock star! The beach was beautiful, clean and well-maintained. One of the bars also stayed open until 1:00 a.m. There were activities every night and my family had a blast with karaoke.
Now for the issues. Our bathroom flooded every time we showered because the curtain was too short. Our WiFi did not work and our phone did not work either. I put in a work order but it was never completed nor did I get any updates. My in-laws had issues with their rooms as well. The other members of our family did not have any complaints.
Overall, I would stay here again. It was simple and I still had a good time.
