Probably one of finest hotel experiences we have had. With a maximum of 60 guests in private suite cottages, we were never disappointed with the staff, service, food, wines, and relaxing atmosphere where you always felt at ease in this casual 5 star resort.

Another great visit to Hermitage Bay! Thanks to all the staff for the incredible service. Food was great- try the Antiguan eggs chop up for breakfast. Cooking demonstration was fantastic. Fresh fish each night. Shout out Jillian and Stoney! .

We’ve travelled pretty extensively and we can’t say enough about this place. Anything you want and they will get it for you. The sushi cannot be missed. Minor improvements could be done to make the bed more comfortable, ours was very hard, but everything else was just so outstanding. Shout out to the PEOPLE that made this vacation outstanding.

One of the most serene experiences I have ever had at a hotel. The Hillside Pool Suite was a perfect escape and so much more than just a hotel room. I felt we had complete privacy with the most beautiful views. The water sports and sushi experiences were second to none and were the perfect addition to our fabulous stay! I truly felt like the staff were friends who I want to visit over and over again! A special shoutout to Anthony, Simone, Judith, Jamie and the entire team. It was an absolute honor to get to know the General Manager Rachel Brown who has built a team not only built on quality and service but on creating a sense of family that you want to return to over and over again.

Hermitage Bay exceeded my expectations. On arrival, they arranged fast-track service through immigration and customs, so I was off the plane and on my way in minutes. The included transfer took about 30–40 minutes (with the last 10 minutes on a bumpy unpaved road). When I arrived, I was welcomed with a cool towel and a refreshing passionfruit… Read more
Hermitage Bay exceeded my expectations. On arrival, they arranged fast-track service through immigration and customs, so I was off the plane and on my way in minutes. The included transfer took about 30–40 minutes (with the last 10 minutes on a bumpy unpaved road). When I arrived, I was welcomed with a cool towel and a refreshing passionfruit spritz, which I enjoyed on a lounge chair by the bar while checking in. The resort has such a peaceful, understated luxury feel — open-air, dark wood, and nestled into lush surroundings. It reminded me of a high-end African safari lodge. I stayed in Hillside Suite 36, which had incredible views, complete privacy, an outdoor shower, plunge pool, double sinks, a soaking tub, and a vanity table. I could walk down to the beach in less than five minutes, but golf carts were always available on demand. Food and drinks were excellent. My favorites were the shrimp tacos, and avocado and shrimp salad. The sushi at the new Tree Bar (prepared by a Nobu-trained chef) was also a highlight — definitely worth booking in advance. Meals were consistently good, and the cocktails were top-notch. There is live music at lunch every day and after dinner every night. The bartenders even joined in for singing and dancing some nights, which made for such a fun and friendly vibe. The resort was almost full, but it never felt crowded. It’s great for couples or adult families, and there is little reason to leave, except for a boat excursion. There were plenty of options to stay active: yoga or Pilates each morning, cooking demos, kayaking, paddle boarding, and Hobie Cats. They have several boats, including a beautiful 1920s wooden sailboat and a luxury 45-foot speedboat available for excursions with snacks and rum punch. Overall, Hermitage Bay is the perfect place for adults looking to unwind. It’s peaceful, beautifully run, and has just enough to do if you want a bit of activity alongside total relaxation. I’m already dreaming of coming back. Read less
