Star rating

The hotel

This beautifully positioned adults-only resort has a range of individual pastel-painted cottages with some of the most spectacular views on the island. There's two plunge pools and two infinity pools, one perched on the cliff edge, and you'll find yourself relaxing here as soon as you see the view. The main restaurant is on three different levels and enjoys alfresco breezes, while Sheer Rocks restaurant offers delicious gourmet cuisine with individual booths for extra privacy all overlooking the beautiful bay. There's a 'Wellness Cottage' that offers a range of wonderful treatments. On either side of the bluff lie two beautiful beaches, with a third within walking (or kayaking) distance!

The rooms were amazing, equipped with AC (much needed). Any issues are resolved very quickly. The food alone was so good! May seem like small portions but don't forget u can order multiple plates. I’m gonna miss my morning coffee delivery :( Overall, I had such a safe and relaxed vacation. I can’t wait to return to Antigua! Read less
