We stayed at Hermitage Bay on the west side of the island - it was about 45 mins from the airport because of the bumpy roads but the resort sorted private transfers for us so the airport - resort journey was really easy (we even scooted through immigration in no queues!) For us, the trip was worth every penny. The room was beautiful and lead onto the beach - although there are options to have villas up in the hills overlooking the beach. We were pleased we didn’t do this as we found the hills were steep but they were beautiful and had private pools! All rooms were well stocked with a mini bar and cleaned well. The toiletries were so nice and the hotel included bug spray which was a really thoughtful touch instead of charging extra as we went through loads due to the sandflies! It was all inclusive which for us was the perfect set up as we’re a fan of a drink and having 4 meals a day. Staff were amazing - service wasn’t super speedy and to quote them ‘youre on island time’ but everything felt very genuine, the staff were beyond friendly and the food was exceptional. I think staff are encouraged to be as involved in the guest experience as you like - so if you want to be left alone they would, but equally if you love a chat - everyone is on board! We felt so at home here. Everything was cooked to order and sushi and cocktail hour happens everyday on the beach which was phenomenal. We also saw that 40% of their food is grown on site, and let me tell you it was just incredible! We cannot recommend the farm tour enough to learn about the care of the site -there is such passion in the food and the.l nature of the bay. It was also adults only and only 30 rooms so everything was very quiet and the staff knew you all by first name which felt really nice! They included a tour of the farmyard, a boat trip and snorkelling trips - I’m not sure if this is permanent but definitely worth it! We easily booked trips out but taxis are expensive sadly - the hotel can take cash out for you aswell which was really helpful. Genuinely we loved loved loved it and if we could afford to we’d return every year 🤣 I can’t speak more highly of Hermitage Bay but I have to admit I’m a rum drinker so I feel like my trip to the Caribbean was always going to be a little positively bias 🤩 Bonus points for the hotel stocking chess/ scrabble for an afternoon game with a rum punch as well as books for sunbathing 😍 and there’s a hotel cat called Snowflake who is adorable. We loved it and can’t wait to return. Thankyou - from Lauren & Josh Read less

This was our 4th trip to Hermitage Bay. A beautiful and peaceful resort. Liked the room changes with glass doors to balcony and ability to heat plunge pool.

I have never gone somewhere and wanted to know the special people taking care of us names. I may have misspelled some so sorry about that’s there were numerous others! We have fortunately traveled a lot. Would like to gate keep on this one but a beautiful resort with amazing people needs to be shared. Thanks to all Read less

The most beautiful serene stay in Antigua. Stunning resort, delicious food & fantastic hospitality ! Loved the resorts bungalows which felt very private yet nestled in nature. Left feeling energized & excited to plan a return trip. Highly recommend the Hermitage Bay !

An experience of a lifetime. All inclusive for food and drinks. Some experiences are included like yoga/pilates, cooking demonstration, and nature walk with the head gardener. You can just stay on the resort and you are still going to have a good time. The service is superb and well through out. People remember you by name and they are relaxed and personable. The only things I would nitpick is the mosquitoes are rampant here. They have Off for your room and a net around the bed and an electronic mosquito repellant device. Still everywhere. Bitten at least once a day even with proper precautions. Lots of things to get used to on this resort. We never figured out the tub before leaving. Read less
