Unfortunately this resort proved to be very disappointing. They have a very serious Mosquito issue it absolutely ruined our holiday. You couldn’t sit at the Bar or in the Restaurant/Pool Area for any length of time without being eaten alive. I ended up spending the vast majority of the holiday in my room to avoid the mosquitoes so couldn’t even use the room pool/sunbed area without being bitten. One fellow guest showed us bites on her legs and said she’d counted 60 bites all over her body and she’d been there 3 days. The room was well maintained and cleaned every 2 days and benefited from A/C and a TV without any channels available to view. The food was poor and meagre portions, although the Chef did well to make the best of the basic ingredients available to him. (don’t expect anything except pork, chicken, fish or the default Burger) Given the quality of the fare on offer, I wasn’t prepared to risk paying an extra $38 for a steak or Lobster (which we were advised was out of season)Why is it even on the menu? Service ranged from friendly and pleasant to grudging and blunt, the latter from staff who clearly didn’t enjoy their job. Somehow they managed to run out of tomatoes for 4 straight days and Sprite and their feature Burger on another day, despite the resort being relatively quiet? The Pool/Bar/Restaurant area is in need of significant refreshing and gives the impression of being tired and uncared for with heavily worn mattresses on the Sun loungers. I have several years experience in Hospitality and have been fortunate enough to travel around the globe and always try to be objective and fair in any reviews. Sadly, this was one of my most disappointing vacations and I felt vexed for my wife who booked the resort in good faith. I cannot recommend The Escape to anyone on the back of our experience.

We stayed at Escape by Nonsuch in June/July for 2 weeks. What an amazing place! The staff are so welcoming and friendly, the rooms are beautiful and the food delicious. The hotel grounds are beautiful and views stunning. Lots of wildlife to enjoy watching. The reception team really looked after us and even remembered our wedding anniversary! Also a special mention to Maxine and Charles in the restaurant and bar, who were always smiling and happy to see us. The hotel, as the name suggests, is slightly out of the way, which we knew before we booked it, but this is what we wanted, a quiet relaxing holiday.. The beach is a 10 min walk away. It is up a steep hill, so if you prefer you can get the boat taxi to take you round there. We visited Green Island twice and snorkelled with Turtles with a guide during one trip. We also visited Shirley Heights on a Thursday evening, which was great fun. Reception arranged all these trips for us. Overall I’d highly recommend this hotel, especially if you want a romantic, quiet holiday, away from it all. We really could t have asked for more! Thank you Team Escape. Read less

We visited ESCAPE, with my sister and brother in law, for my wife and my 47th wedding anniversary and had an amazing time. The hotel is in the middle of no where, so to visit any of Antigua's attractions is a bit of a trek, but don't let that put you off as you would be missing an absolute gem. The staff are fabulous and provided more than just great service, I have intentionally not named any one member, as I would be having to name them all! , they made us all feel welcome and important, and presented my wife and I with a hand written card on our anniversary a gesture we will cherish. The hotel is situated by a mangrove so the mozzies were a bit of a problem so take some repellent and all will be fine. The food was all al a cart, so you ordered breakfast, lunch and dinner from a menu that changed daily, and was expertly prepared by the chefs and all very tasty. Our room was a garden view room, which was modern, comfortable and came with a private plunge pool and lovely views over the gardens towards the sea , it was cleaned ever other day and was immaculate. We practically never stay at a hotel twice, as we like to visit different areas of a destination, but I think ESCAPE may be different when we come back to Antigua, which no doubt we will as the experience was so good.

From the moment I arrived at Escape at Nonsuch Bay, I felt warmly welcomed. Maya, the lovely receptionist, truly set the tone for my stay. She was informative, friendly and always full of great energy. Whether it was answering questions or simply offering a smile, Maya was consistently helpful – she’s a natural in hospitality and made me feel right at home. As an Expedia Gold member, I appreciated the perks – 20% off food, drinks, and spa services definitely added value to the experience. A big thank you to Van Dyke, who helped me settle into my room with a tour and assistance with my luggage. His friendly chats and constant availability throughout the stay didn’t go unnoticed! The room lived up to expectations – just like the photos. Spacious, with a super comfy bed, a convenient kitchenette, and a dreamy private plunge pool (honestly, my main reason for booking – and totally worth it!). Housekeeping came every two days, and the room was kept immaculate. Just a heads up: the plunge pool area can attract mosquitoes and the occasional critter, so come prepared. The hotel grounds are beautifully maintained. I was greeted warmly at every meal by the amazing staff – special shoutouts to Maxine, Naisha, and Hannah, who were always cheerful, polite, and brought a lovely energy to each dining experience. Only criticism would be that the food could use more variety, stronger flavours, and slightly larger portions but I did love the food on the Wednesday Carribean Night. I recommend two shuttle excursions that the resort offer ($25 return each) – one to Green Island for a secluded beach day, and one to Shirley Heights for incredible sunset views and a lively atmosphere. Both are fantastic ways to break up the seclusion of the resort, which is otherwise fairly remote. I also treated myself to two massages, which were absolutely relaxing – a perfect way to unwind in such a serene setting. The floating breakfast was a highlight! I travelled solo but ordered enough for two and had no regrets – such a fun and satisfying experience. Room for Improvement: • Spa services are a treat, but more competitive pricing would be appreciated. • An on-site ATM would be convenient. • Some evening entertainment would go a long way – it was a bit too quiet some nights. Overall, Escape at Nonsuch Bay is a beautiful, peaceful resort with rooms that truly match the pictures, standout hospitality, and great amenities. A few tweaks could make it perfect, but it certainly lived up to my expectations. Would happily return! Read less

The rooms and plunge pool are lovely best part of the hotel. You have to walk to the beach which is very steep in parts. At the moment they have a big problem with seaweed which does not smell good and means you can’t really swim in it? The pool area is quite tired looking and could really do with some new loungers. The food was good most days but… Read more
The rooms and plunge pool are lovely best part of the hotel. You have to walk to the beach which is very steep in parts. At the moment they have a big problem with seaweed which does not smell good and means you can’t really swim in it? The pool area is quite tired looking and could really do with some new loungers. The food was good most days but sadly the staff (apart from Maxine) did not seem happy in their work which was a shock for us as it was our third visit to Antigua and we have always said how amazing and friendly all the staff were? Unfortunately, not the case here. If travelling to this hotel I would recommend hiring a car as you will want to go to the west side of the island to visit the lovely beaches. Read less
