Wake up to the sound of the waves, indulge in farm-to-table cuisine, and unwind in the spa where complimentary Pilates, yoga and meditation classes are offered. If you're looking to explore beyond the resort, Hermitage Bay offer an array of island experiences including eco-tours and boat trips to help you discover more of Antiguas best bits!

The accommodations, amenities and staff made our trip to Hermitage Bay so wonderful! The staff was exceptional and we loved how intimate it all was! We enjoyed a boat ride and lounging on the beach, the resort pool or just our private plunge pool! The weather was windy but there were places to escape to hide away from any sand or brief rain. I would say that if they could add additional rinsing areas from when you leave the beach, it would be helpful. I only saw one and it was at the entrance to the lobby/bar area. The daily sushi was such a treat and Jose made that a fun experience while the bartenders made wonderful cocktails! I’m still dreaming of the spicy passion fruit margarita! We stayed in a hillside suite and had a gorgeous view or the bay and sunset! The room had a spacious bathroom and expansive outdoor area with lots of lounging options. They took care of sticking to mini bar and house keeping was wonderful. The sinks did seem to leak slightly if you didn’t turn it just right and I wish there would have been a larger fan in the bathroom since the windows were only screened. The bed was comfortable and they offer additional pillow options and blankets. There was plenty of hanging space in the wardrobe section but i would have like doors or something to close them away. The food was plentiful and so fresh! We enjoyed the farm to table options and the fresh fish! We ordered room service for breakfast, lunch and dinner and it all arrived quickly and stayed warm. Our coffees and drinks were also so fresh! The entertainment while dining was also so good! Our last night had an amazing band and vocalist that we enjoyed while sipping drinks at the bar. We had visited Antigua before and were excited to return, and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay!! Read less

Book it! The resort itself is amazing, the views, service, rooms, etc… are all exceeding expectations. Zero complaints. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of for you. We stayed in the ocean front suites, no regrets about not having a plunge pool, the ocean and resort pool are both just steps away. As amazing as the resort is, the food is what sets Hermitage Bay apart from other nice hotels we’ve stayed at. We were nervous about getting “tired” of the food being here for five nights, but the menu changes daily and is incredible. Easily some of the best food we’ve had at any restaurant, it doesn’t feel like it should be all-inclusive. The sushi at 5:30 every day is a great cocktail hour/pre-cursor to dinner. Read less

From landing in Antigua, to each meal and Hugo Spritz (shoutout to Chelsey!!), to a special birthday dinner and dessert, a private boat cruise, and every minute in between, the staff at Hermitage went beyond my wildest dreams. Oh, and the SUSHI!? Highly recommend the hilltop villas for the unbelievable views + our man Anthony helping us get down every day with ease. Don’t hesitate, this place really is the real deal.
