Jolly Beach Antigua: Beautiful Beach!!!!

The hotel was outdated but if you don't care about that, it is the place to go!!! The beach, food and service was amazing!! The beach vendors can be a little pushy, but if you say no enough they end up leaving you alone

Jolly Beach Antigua: Good Resort

Starfish Jolly Beach Resort is a older resort but well taken care of. It is clean.The beach is fabulous with great sunsets. The food is very good and the restaurants are all good. We did have a problem with our toilet and the office moved us to another upgrade room. The staff are all so friendly.They almost bend over backwards for you.Pools well maintained and lots of bars. Only thing missing at the bars is Canadian rye. We had a great time there and would certainly go back.Everything is very we [... read more]ll kept.

Pineapple Beach Club: Amasint resort

Everything was great , we loved it , food was good , staff pleasant and customer servis great .we booked an excursion with Marvin you will find him at the buffet restaurant and we got a private taxi with a driver Charlie he showed us around this beautiful island it’s worth it . We also booked dinner on the hillside for our wedding anniversary it’s pricey but worth every penny , it was very romantic except a bit windy but gorgeous ocean view.

Jolly Beach Antigua: Relaxing resort

Resort is well maintained, rooms are small, but clean. Repairs are carried out in a timely fashion. Fresh water is available at each bar. Restaurants have a good selection of food. Have a program for children. Entertainment at night good, if not a bit repetitive. Beach area clean, and while we were there, construction on some sun shelters was under way. Staff friendly and courteous. Sunwing reps an amazing source of information.

Jolly Beach Antigua: amazing bang for your buck

The beach and the view were worth a million dollars.Stunningly Beautiful sunsets and sunrises,hot beautiful weather with a nice breeze, the water was an amazing beautiful blue,and friendly, beautiful people, Hotel has character,(little old). Food OK. Travelling around on your own completely safe.. Going on bus to St Johns easy, cheap and hassle free. Took a tour of island with Cloud (will find him on the beach or he'll find you) which was fun, interesting and definitely entertaining. Cl [... read more]oud himself is quite the character. Highly recommended. Room was small but clean. Perfectly fine. Not enough shade at the pools which kept us on the wonderful beach. (Hardly a sacrifice) Would go back in a heart beat.

Galley Bay Resort and Spa: Amazing Resort

What can I say? Everything was perfect (except for the plane delays 😆). From booking online...to getting to the resort...never had an issue. The resort, Galley Bay Resort & Spa, was amazing. Friendly employees who always said “Hello” or Good Day” made you feel welcomed. Walked the beach every day and could never complain about the weather. To sum it all up, we had an amazing time and will definitely be trying to get back there.

Jolly Beach Antigua: Quiet and enjoyable!

Staff was amazing... supersaver room was very small but when we asked to upgrade they accommodated us within 30 mins! Rooms were clean and the beach was amazing. Not a ton to do but an amazing spot to relax with some rum punch on the beach!

Royalton CHIC Antigua: Great vacation!

The Rex Halcyon was charming. The grounds are lovely and our room was well equipped, clean and comfortable as well as being ideally located with a view of both the pool and the beach. We loved every minute of our week there. The staff was friendly and helpful without being intrusive and the food was plentiful and very good. The beach is amazing and we never had any trouble finding loungers. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Ocean Point Resort and Spa: Great Resort!!

The resort is unique! Small but very nice! Resort is old with nice upgrades! The pool is great with it being mostly 5 feet deep! The beach sand is a beauty. The swimming is good but there’s a small area of no sea grass! There is two beaches! The food is great! Only issue I find is supper is late starting at 7:00pm to 9:30pm! The staff are great! Very friendly and helpful!! Lots of hugs and kisses at this resort!! The weather was at 28-30 Celsius every day!! Hint: 30 sunscreen is obsolete! Go w [... read more]ith the highest you can!!

Jolly Beach Antigua: Best service

This is a very good resort. Very clean, organized, good food and most relaxing place. We really enjoy this resort and planing to ho back. The Italian restaurant is the best. The hamacas are very nice. The entertainment is very good. No drunk people and excelente for a family vacation

Jolly Beach Antigua: Awesome holiday - very laid back relaxing resort!

This hotel/ resort is very well laid out. The staff are amazing and work very hard. The food selection was good on regular nights but on theme nights such as "Welcome Night" or "Beach Party" it was excellent. The beef was as good as ours - not the usual tough Caribbean steak. Roasted vegetables and fruits were plentiful. The cooked entrees could have been kept at a hotter temperature for my liking. It would be nice to have two more public washrooms available all the time, as one just isn't en [... read more]ough. This was my second time at this resort and other than the new pool, not much has been updated. It is however clean and all is in working order. You get more than your moneys worth at this resort. My only complaints are not with the resort or with trip central as both were very nice and worked hard to make this vacation one of my best ones. However Sunwing put a real damper on this holiday by throwing in a stop over both ways and making us get off the plane with all our carry on luggage and duty free to drag it to gate 7 and then be told to go to gate 11 only to be turned back to gate 7. My husband and I are seniors and found this exhausting. On the way home our paid for seats were given away and I had to fight to get them back. I pre-booked so that we could sit together. The manager glared at me and told the staff to give us our seats and to offer better seats to the people who were given our seats. We should have been given better seats due to their mix up and an apology would have been appropriate! Also I purchased full insurance and had an accident that caused me to loose my glasses. I tried 3 times to call the insurance to get help but was left on hold each time. I am blind without my glasses so I could not enjoy myself. The staff at the resort were so good to me and found a mobile eye centre open, booked me an emergency appointment and got me a taxi that would wait for me and bring me back. This was so nice of them and really appreciated by me! Sunwing insurance told me that glasses are not covered under baggage loss. I have another fight on my hands because they were lost from an accident on the resort not a baggage loss. *Beware of male with dreadlocks in a blue shirt who is selling catamaran tours on the beach. I think he may be from Jolly Harbour. He gets quite belligerent if he can't sell to you.

Jolly Beach Antigua: Loved the Starfish

We stayed as a family of 4 at the Starfish. We had an amazing vacation.The grounds are currently being updated which is nice. Its a very laid back place great for families. They treat all the kids so well, like they are friends. Drinks flow freely and the beach is to die for!

Jolly Beach Antigua: Beautiful Resort

I loved this resort. The rooms may have been a little outdated but the resort itself was great! They had nice suppers at the beach, karaeoke nights, dances, everything to keep the night fun! The restaurants were really good too. Great food! The staff was all really friendly! The beach was just beautiful! 1 mile sandy beach by the beautiful bright blue water. We took advantage of the sunset hike offered once a week. I would recommend this resort to anyone!

Jolly Beach Antigua: A Jolly good time indeed!!!!

Do not let the 3* rating fool you! We have stayed at many A.I.'s, but this one was by far one of the nicest. Terrific staff, stunning beach, and non-redundant food. Rooms need a little face lift, however, are clean. Grounds are well maintained.

Royalton CHIC Antigua: Ancient Resort

Very old and in need of help. Paint peels off ceiling when you use bathroom. Door creeks and sliding doors stick. No dresser, furniture ancient. Whole place is ancient. Needs to be shut down for 6 months and redone, then they can raise the rate, get a 4 star rating as long as they keep the same staff. Staff and food only good thing about this place.

The Verandah Antigua: Best Resort on the Island!!

We have been to this resort 7 times now and cannot begin to tell you how great it is. After 7 years they still have ways on impressing us. The food, staff, grounds, beaches, rooms are second to none. This is not a party style resort but still has great entertainment with plenty of things to do during your stay. They have friendly knowledgeable staff that will help you with any excursions you want to go on while there. We always meet amazing other guests that speak volumes about how nice The Vera [... read more]ndah is. This time they provided an outstanding outside BBQ party at the main pool and bar, the atmosphere that they created made for a fun and great tasting meal. You will not be disappointed! We will be returning again next year!!!!

Pineapple Beach Club: Fabulous resort

Just returned this week from Pineapple Beach. First time there and will definitely return. The resort is a nice size so you can get everywhere easily without having to jump on a golf cart. Great food, beach is excellent, staff are friendly, room was nice and clean. Going to miss our daily walk up the hill to the Outhouse BBQ, the food there was excellent and the views are great.

St James Club and Villas: Beautiful private serene resort

My mom and I picked this resort to spend some quality mother and daughter time. It was also to celebrate her 77th birthday. The hotel staff was very warm and friendly. They kept our rooms clean daily and surprised my mom with a complimentary bottle of champagne. Each night we dined at different restaurants on the resort, the Rainbow Cafe, Coco's and Dockside were our favorite. The resort is very clean, the porters were always willing to take us anywhere and it felt like we had our own little [... read more] paradise. I would definitely recommend going on vacation to this resort, as I'm sure I'll be returning in the future. Many great memories were made. Thank you St.James and Trip central for helping us pick a fantastic vacation spot.

Jolly Beach Antigua: A Hidden Gem of Antigua

After reading all the reviews we didn't know what to expect. Nervous yet excited to see the island of Antigua. A 3* never sounded good but we rolled the dice and went with it. We are usually 4* or 5* travellers always. This was our first experience at a 3*. We are middle aged. We went without our child so kids club and entertainment wasn't something we cared for. We booked and took the risk. Thinking you get what you pay for. And little did we know that this resort would it blow us away. If you  [... read more]want to enjoy the beautiful island of Antigua at an affordable price the Starfish Jolly is the way to go. Check was perfect as we did it at the airport. Rooms were OK but clean. We had a king bed and a nice balcony with an ocean/pool view. The beach was breathtakin 6*+ and the pools a 3*-4. Needed a good paint job and lights for them at night. I think that would of made the resort nicer. I've never seen better. Everyone was friendly. The buffet was great for breakfast and OK for dinner and lunches. A la carte restaurants were amazing. You booked daily between 4-6 for any of the 3 - Mexican, Italian (dress code) & Seafood. All restaurants upcharged for specialties. We didn't need to upgrade as the food we ordered was awesome. Out of 7 nights we had 6 a la carte dinners. Pool was large and clean. The resort itself was not super busy. Lots of chairs and beach space everywhere. Entertainment was good. Nothing fancy. Wifi free in the lobby area only. You can upgrade for $10 per day for in room wifi. The only downfall was the air - it wasn't as cool as we would of liked ad they only offered a sheet for the bed. No blankets. And NO fridge or beverages/water in rooms. We walked to the local grocery store for water. Close to Jolly Harbour with shops and dining. Resort has a small store for souvenirs and everyday needs. We rented a car from Pierce at the resort. $70. It was best $70 we spent. We also purchased an excursion on the Excellence (catamaran) that toured us around the island for $120 pp. Service to and from airport on time. Overall we loved this resort. Does it need updates.....yes. A little TLC this resort will be up to par. 1/2 hr ride from aiport. The staff make this resort pleasurable. I would definitely recommend this resort for travellers looking for an amazing escape at a very affordable price. We called it the hidden gem of Antigua.

Jolly Beach Antigua: Great Beach!! Friendly Staff and Nice Resort

The beach was amazing and the resort was clean but needs some updating. It looks like they are working on the hotel and grounds. Staff very nice and the food was good as well. nothing more to add, nothing more to add
