Perfect

Pineapple beach resort was perfect. Very beautiful location and the food and resort was amazing. Secluded and private. Just what I wanted. Staff members were so friendly I would go back again and again

Paradise

Although the resort could use some renovations, it was still beautiful. The resort was organized so that almost everything you needed was in one location. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food at the buffet changed frequently so you did not have to worry about getting sick of the food. The beach was nice, although there was some weeds/plants that would wash up on the sand. Overall, the resort was great.

We will return

No wrist bands, no towel cards. Really laid back resort. We had a beachfront room that was steps from the sand and ocean. Room had not been renovated but it was clean. All tubs are being removed and replaced with walk in showers. Food was good with a nice variety. Make sure you try Mary’s Outhouse for lunch. The ribs and chicken are delicious and you might catch a glimpse of the mongoose. Now the staff. Amazing. Nothing was to much work for them. They just want to make sure your vacation i [... read more]s perfect. This resort is not for everyone. If you want the glitz and all night partying then maybe you should go elsewhere. I’d say the age group would be 40 plus. For us it was perfect. Sanjay you run a top notch resort. See you again.

Great resort.

We just returned from the Pineapple Beach Club Resort in Antigua and had an amazing time. The resort was wonderful and we had no complaints whatsoever. The food was amazing and the staff were fantastic. We would return to the PBC in a minute and likely will next year.

Quaint Resort and well run

We enjoyed this resort and found the staff to be helpful at all times and friendly. We liked the amount of activities they provided each day as well. The buffet and the a la carte restaurants were quite good. The wine however was very sub par with our dinners. That is my only complaint. If we wanted decent wine we were required to pay for it in an "all-inclusive" package. That was disappointing. Otherwise, a very lovely smaller resort which is what we prefer.

Amazing resort

The resort is great, it is small and easy to access everything no matter what room you are in. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, we stayed in super saver which had its own bar and pool which was nice as we were a group of 8 so it was like our own little party. Staff was friendly and it was nice that everyone speaks english. The food was delicious, different theme at buffet every night, the snack bar is delicious and the outhouse has fabulous ribs and fish. Nobody in our group had any  [... read more]complaints about the resort.....highly recommend it.

Great week!

Hotel was great! Food was even better than we’d expected and the beach was amazing. We stayed in a beachfront room, which was so well located and just steps to the water. Bathrooms were in serious need of an update, but overall was an amazing stay and we would love to go back someday.

Girls trip

Just returned from a week at this hotel with my two grown daughters and a family friend . We loved the resort it was fabulous. The staff were very pleasant especially Nathasha !! The food was good and a nice beach with snorkeling right off the shore. A lovely quiet resort for great for relaxing .

Wonderful Stay at Pineapple Beach

The over stay was a 10/10. I was overly pleased with the grounds, service, food, rooms, drinks ect. There are no complaints here. My only recommendation is their check in process. For those arriving at 11am like we did, we were told our rooms would not be ready until 3 pm. This presented a predicament as we had to leave our luggage outside// in the lobby with no one to watch our belongings (everyone had access to everything). As well as we had to find a place to change out of our travel attire a [... read more]nd into something more suitable for the pool area where we had to wait for our rooms to be ready. Other then the check in process our stay was 100% amazing. The rooms were kept clean, the public washrooms were cleaned hourly, the grounds were immaculate. The food was amazing, lots of variety for a smaller resort. You can use the Al a Cartes from the Varandah as well to provide even more variety. The beach and pool were kept clean (seaweed was removed from the beach every morning, and the pools were cleaned then as well). We payed 1300$ for this trip and I would say that is a fair price for what you get. I have seen the price increase to over 2000$ during certain times of the year which seems expensive, however anything under 1500$ for this resort is reasonable and fair priced. I would recommend this resort to couples (as it is adults only) looking for a relaxing time and or elderly people who need a smaller resort. ** Request rooms in the 100, 200, and 600's. The 800 and 900 rooms are on top of the hill, its a tad bit of a hike plus stairs, so more difficult to get to those rooms regularly throughout the day.

Great Resort

The service and food at the buffet was excellent. Staff was very accommodating. The BBQ restaurant up on the cliff was spectacular. The special restaurants were OK, I would stick to the buffet - lots of choices. The layout of the resort was easy to get around

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.

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.

Good with room for improvement-an honest review

First visit to PBC but not to Antigua. Have stayed at two other resorts on both the Atlantic and Caribbean sides. Positives: Proximity to airport, down from the main road, no traffic noise, beach and views, pelicans flying and fishing off the beach daily, floating ocean loungers in shallow water, and nightly entertainment. Beach had good swimming if you are like us, and venture in even when not green flagged. All sand, no shells or rocks, clear water when waves weren't too choppy. Beach was [... read more] not particularly long for walks - could go down in back in 10 min if strolling. No hyped up dress code so yes it was laid back in that sense. (Husband appreciated being able to wear shorts to dinner). “Outhouse” had the best view of all. They had bottled beer as opposed to the main bar that ran out after our first few days and served only draught. Ribs and chicken were saucy and tender. Staff there were also friendly and nice. The rest may sound negative but it is our honest review of what we experienced. Room was in 500 ground level section (waterfront rooms). Central location and without the hilly walks. Fairly sound proof but that depends on your upstairs neighbours. Spectacular view of both resort and ocean. Privacy on the balcony as you don't see neighbours on either side. Can hear people come on and off the balcony / they heard us as sliding glass doors was a little sticky. Night time lounging on the couch out there was spectacular with a drink just listening to the waves and looking at the moon and night sky. No bugs but could have been time of year and because we were not near the sandy part of the shore. These rooms are closer to the water, with rocky shoreline, and a breeze. We typically have been in December and April. No counter space at all in the bathroom, just a tiny glass shelf. An issue for the ladies. Quick fix would be to add more shelving somewhere, anywhere. The shower was roomy but the curtain doesn't provide any barricade for the water. Floor was constantly soaked hence we used our towels to mop up. (Didn't play into the enviro friendly attempts being made by PBC for unnecessary towel usage/change over) Bed was pretty hard and a little squeaky, pillows quite soft. Renovations and upgrades continue after the new management takeover in November so perhaps ours wasn't quite completed yet although listed as such. A/C functioned well. Ceiling fan great if you didn't want A/C. Good tv channel selections. Two bottles of water upon arriving, nothing more. A few beers in the fridge and some snacks would go a long way to upping their game. Food was decent, the grill was nice to snack anytime during the day. I ordered a veggie burger one day in an attempt to stay “on track” while in vacation mode and was surprised when it was cooked in the deep fryer. Rest was standard snack bar fare; burgers, fries, nachos, ice cream, wraps and salads. Staff there was friendly. Buffet was just that. Although was pleasantly surprised with a good Jamaican style beef patty one day. Enough variety overall for a week stay and healthy enough if you made the right selections. Quality of coffee could be easily rectified. Wine selection not great. If you are drinking white wine ask for the Pinot Grigio if they have it on hand. That seemed to be the best out of all of the white selections but was not available everywhere. Restaurant and bar staff we found were hit or miss. Unfortunately. We understand that service industry jobs are not easy. Pasting on a smile sometimes is hard but many seemed unhappy and not very communicative - at least with us, and we tried. The job got done but service felt a little awkward. There were some who would make an effort if you chatted first. They didn't seem understaffed at the buffet, and at least two bartenders at the main bar at any given time. Reservation one night was lost completely for a restaurant booking at the sister resort, Verandah. No one had us listed and the one restaurant mentioned to me while making the reservation was closed. We had the shuttle driver take us to three different locations. He attempted to solve the mystery by making some calls but to no avail. Finally we were accommodated by Caril who was professional, kind, polite and graciously seated us. (She also tried to figure out the error, again with no results). We came to find out later, the 2 ladies at the desk booking the day before, didn't give us the "white slip" that was needed to show/confirm we had a reservation. The protocol is, they check the restaurant by phoning first which I witnessed and then book you in, give you the slip as a reminder but we think it just never got booked at all. We were sure to get a slip for each of the 3 final bookings we made. Annoying but mostly disappointing for what should have been a simple dinner reservation. Frankly speaking, we spent thousands of dollars to visit and getting lost and forgotten doesn't make one feel welcome nor appreciated as a guest. Activities twice were listed on the board however just never took place. One was the pool tournament (would have been something to do as it was raining that afternoon) the other was the dance lesson. Gerry for aqua aerobics was pretty good and it was a better work out than expected. Gym was decent. Two pools were small but nice for a dip. Many Americans, mostly British of course, with a sprinkle of Canadians. Swimming, food, room all were good enough for a week getaway if you are not expecting 5 star. We saw PBC listed as 3 star and would agree as per the wine and some other details listed above. Although, we have stayed at other Antiguan resorts with higher star ratings and paid the same price to stay here. Staff, not sure, maybe a training issue or the management style that affects their demeanour. We don't need much to keep us happy, nor do most. People just want the good solid basics for food, rooms and service. So would we recommend ? Overall, yes.

A 10 Day Stay is Perfect

We were very happy with our vacation. We read all the reviews and knew in advance that the rooms needed updating (so were not surprised), that Mary's was the place to go for lunchtime BBQ, that the beach was good and that the staff were really friendly. I forgot that the Atlantic side of Caribbean islands are windier and the first 6 days were unusually windy with the red flag up every day. Of course the weather went back to normal as we were getting ready to leave. The food was good. We ate [... read more] breakfast at the buffet, lunch at Mary's or the outdoor snack bar and dinner at the Grill or Chef Pietro's. You have to book early and it is usually not for the same day so plan ahead. The bar staff were fun and able to make all kinds of delicious slushies. Try a BBC - Bailey's, Banana and Coconut Cream - like a milkshake with punch. If you book a Westjet package, make sure to order and pay for your lunch/supper before leaving home. Take lots of American $1 and $5 bills for tipping the staff during your stay. The egg lady at the buffet is wonderful. Natashia at the Bar is terrific and Odessia at the booking desk has lots of patience for uncertain guests.

Loved Pineapple Beach!!

Thank you Amber, for the perfect room! Wonderful resort. Great, tasty food and buffet right on ocean!! Lovely beach with lots of chairs and snorkeling right there. Beach front room was great. Bathroom not renovated, but who cares and I loved being able to have a bath :) Beds and pillows are nice and comfy and rooms are super clean. Thank you to the wonderful staff...Rennata, Tehron...wish I could remember all the names. We won a trip on the Calypso Cat at the Managers special night so make sure  [... read more]you go :) And I loved donating at the end to help the people of Barbuda. Wishing them all the very best!

Pineapple Beach Resort -a real charmer

Just returned from a 7 day stay at this lovely resort. The resort is beautifully laid out with plenty of places to get away and relax or mingle with the crowd, whatever your heart desires. The food, buffet style, was excellent and varied from day to day. The 2 a la carte restaurants are also very popular. The people and service set this place apart. They are lovely. We had a beachfront room in the 100 block which was quite dark and tired with a small, outdated bathroom but the location was s [... read more]uperb. The place is spotless and the grounds are very well maintained. Beach is gorgeous with plenty of water sports available. A wonderful escape. We will return.

AWSOME RESORT

The food ,the people ,the beach ....everything was amazing ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Beautiful plantation style resort

We were there for a week in mid November. The best feature is certainly the beach. It is not a long one but is it beautiful with white powdery sand and no rocks on the beach or in the water. You can even snorkel in front of the resort but the best spots are a few minutes walk away. The hotel itself is quite nice, not big and well maintained. There is an ambiance of Caribbean plantation to it, at least in our eyes. Note that some buildings are being completely renovated. Ours (room 135) was no [... read more]t and although it was clean and functional it needed a major updating. On the positive side our room was a garden view room and was very well situated with a partial ocean view; we also had a private ground floor balcony. The staff was very polite, professional and efficient but not overly friendly. No real problem there. The food was very good everywhere we ate and we tried everywhere. The variety is good at the buffet with theme nights. The a la carte restaurants were both superb. The birds learned that they can get free drink and free food at every restaurant. Cover up your drink or plate when you leave your table. It is still an attraction to watch them operate in the eating areas. The snack bar was fine and we also went to the Outhouse: a kind of BBQ/snack bar combo. The food was good but the view and the whole place were even better. The resort is a good place to relax with a few nice attractions such as the beach party on Wednesday and the manager cocktail on Monday. There is also live entertainment nightly witch we enjoyed. Even though the resort is rather small they have a very good and well equipped gym with new equipment. We went there daily. There are also 4 tennis courts with 2 of them brand new. We walked to Devil's bridge (a local attraction) about 1 hour brisk walk total. We also went private horseback riding at Springhill Riding Club and it was a lot of fun (reservation required). Special thanks to Suzannah Adderson, the manager for a great morning. Good and well kept horses. We definitely would be back with family or friends.

Best Resort Ever!

We just LOVED this resort! Upon arrival, we were worried and skeptical as the reception area was very small and not connected to the main buildings. However, once we were in our room and oriented to the resort, our opinion sure changed. The rooms are a bit tired looking, the food was excellent, al a carte's were excellent, premium bar!, a party pool and low key pool, and right on the beautiful beach! The Antiguan people are so very nice! We cant wait to go back! best resort experience ever!

A Hidden Gem

Recently returned after 10 day stay at Pineapple Beach Club in Antigua. What a wonderful vacation at resort that is truly a hidden gem. This resort has a lot to offer - the Food is delicious, wide selection of alcoholic beverages are offered, the staff are pleasant and cannot do enough for the guests. Accommodations are very clean and the Hotel is working on updating rooms throughout the resort. The resort grounds are well maintained and the beach is pristine. I would return to this resort [... read more] in a heartbeat. Thanks to Helen Callendar from Tripcentral for assisting in our choice of this resort
