Star rating

The hotel

Lapping it up in the true ‘lap’ of luxury, Hodges Bay Resort & Spa is a world away from the cookie cutter beach hotels that crop up around the Caribbean. Designed to be different, every element of this 9-acre estate is refined and relaxing. Its gloriously green gardens are matched by whiter-than-white sands, its crisp contemporary architecture cocoons upscale interiors, and its features are beyond high-end. There are two swimming pools — including an adult-only infinity pool overlooking the bay, surrounded by plush sun-loungers and poolside cabanas, the ultimate way to catch some Caribbean rays and relax in an adult-only oasis. Not forgetting the beach and pool Ambassador Service of course, with dedicated staff on hand to tend to your every whim. Dining here is a true delight with a choice of three restaurants. Plus there are inviting bars to try, including a high-end rum bar with a dedicated sommelier - guaranteed to serve a true taste of Antigua.

I was here for work for only 24 hours unfortunately but the experience was phenomenal. The resort is beautiful and the staff is superb. The food was spectacular and bar was great. Would definitely come here on my own! The rooms are so comfortable and clean. Gym was perfect as well.

We have been to Antigua numerous times and wanted to try a different part of the island as our base. We intentionally chose a B&B so we could use our hire car to explore. Hodges Bay didn't disappoint - excellent staff, a great breakfast and very generously sized room. The artwork is fantastic, Prickly Pear Island is a rare treat and the whole trip was amazing. We are lucky enough to have holidayed 60/70 times in our ten years together and never have we encountered a more hands on, incredibly professional and wonderfully personable Chief of Operations than Jonathan. He cares passionately about the hotel, it's staff and guests and that is reflected by his team. Read less
