The location was perfect as it was the hotels private beach & not full of other hotels & there guests. The area is mostly flat, a few little inclines & as I’m disabled my husband found it easy to push me around the whole of the hotel. We upgraded to Diamond Club & was glad we did, our butlers Shanice & Shauna-Kay were amazing & really helped us make special memories, especially on our 25th wedding anniversary, when I return I will be asking for them to take care of us. All the staff were friendly & warm, said good morning/afternoon as you passed them & asked if you were having a nice vacation & there smiley & joyful nature was appreciated, especially Diana on the beach. When checking in & out it was so easy & they welcomed us with amazing greetings & goodbyes. The hotel was spotless & clean & the staff worked really hard to keep it that way.
The Diamond bar was a grest for a pre-dinner drink or just snacks if you had missed a meal.
The restaurant all booked by our butlers were nice to dine in & Hunters rib eye steak melted in your mouth. The Carribean restaurant was very good too but a bit spicy for my husband & best friend who had delicate tummy’s. Gratzi was great for Italian food & breakfast on the beach. Wasn’t so keen on Scores but that could have been that I didn’t chose the right food that night as some the other guests food look fabulous. The main restaurant was excellent for breakfast, so much choice, you are spoilt for choice, loved the smoked salmon.
Never dined in the restaurant at lunchtime as was full from breakfast & if we wanted a small bite we used Nibbles or the Beach Diamond club & we had a fair few meals in the evening restaurant too & again you were spoilt for choice with a fabulous dessert array. The wine whether, white, red, rose or prosecco was good quality. The cocktails were to die for & int stage area & pool swim up bar. The entrainment was good on the nights we went & the white party was fun to watch too. The coffee shop was open very early till late where you could get snacks, pastries, cakes & ice cream. The views around the hotel were amazing & I would highly recommend this hotel & will be returning hopefully next year as they exceeded my expectations. Ensure your hire a car or taxi with guide for the islands culture, highly recommend Shirley Heights for views & steel band, Devils Bridge for amazing scenery & where the Carribean & Atlantic meet, Nelson’s Dockyard & many more. This was my 3rd visit to Antigua & I never tire of holidaying there, I’ve done self catering twice & our 1st time all inclusive & it didn’t disappoint, this hotel is simply the best. If your reading negative comments, please ignore & make up your mind as I did.
