The Inn at English Harbour | Antigua, Caribbean | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Antigua, Caribbean

5 stars

Tucked away on Antigua’s historic southern coat and set in 19 acres of tropical woodland, The Inn at English Harbour is a boutique escape where colonial charm meets Caribbean chic. With just 28 suites and 4 beach cabana rooms, it’s wonderfully intimate, with a private beach, infinity pool and soothing spa at its heart. Days drift by in true island style - sun-soaked mornings on the sand, lazy afternoons by the pool and starlit dinners on the terrace. And with a complimentary water taxi whisking you across to historic Nelson’s Dockyard, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds: blissful seclusion and a taste of Antigua’s vibrant harbour life.

“A beautiful hotel/resort with great staff and a few problems that can/should be easily addressed”

Nov 21, 2025dms11

I can't imagine that there is a better and more beautiful place to stay in Antigua than the Inn at English Harbour. That said, there are a few areas that could use attention: 1) The A/C struggled to work in our second floor suite. It could be that any A/C unit would struggle to work in this heat and humidity, especially in an upper floor room, but still, we had some trouble sleeping due to the warmth of the room; 2) our mattress was a bit soft and we were told there were no boards or replacement mattresses available. Perhaps it is time to replace them; 3) the gym is truly pathetic. The so-called elliptical is about 100 years old and the so-called bike only faintly resembles an actual exercise bike. There is a reason no one ever uses this gym. I have been told that new equipment is on order and all I can say is that the sooner it gets there, the better; and 4) they actually charge $3/cup for the in-room coffee maker. I have NEVER seen that before in any of the hundreds of hotels I have stayed at through the years. The in-room coffee maker does not produce great coffee...it is a convenience provided to guests until they can get a good cup of coffee at a restaurant or coffee shop. Really...is the hotel that desperate for cash??? But these are relatively minor complaints for a hotel/resort that is truly beautiful with perhaps the friendliest staff I have ever seen anywhere. If I were to return to Antigua, I don't think I would even consider staying somewhere else.

“Great couples retreat”

We had a great stay. The location allowed us to get off resort easily if we wanted to. The hotel also provided plenty to do onsite. We enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking multiple days. The included fast track through immigration and customs made arrival a breeze and very comfortable.

“Perfect”
