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!

We’ve had the most incredible time here, I hardly know where to begin. From the moment we arrived, the staff were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much for them. The resort is beautiful, our room wasn’t huge but it was perfect for our needs (we had a plunge pool and deck area). The food was great, with different menus each day of the week. We had booked all inclusive, which meant total peace of mind. Apart from the breakfast/lunch/dinner meals, there was a coffee shop with sweet treats and fruit from 7am-7pm, and then 2 separate bars with food options at different times of day. We quickly became fans of the paninis, usually choosing that over the standard lunch offering. Friday night is Antigua night with authentic local food, with a steel band providing fabulous entertainment. In fact we had live music on many of the nights, including a jazz pianist and another night had live singers. The resort is beautifully maintained, with 2 lovely pools. There was never any issue getting a lounger and/or umbrella for shade. The beach is also literally minutes away, again with loungers easily available. Maybe it was the time of year, but it was never crowded, and often we had the pool to our self. Oh, and when on the beach, the fabulous resort staff would come round and take drinks orders and then bring them to you. Pure luxury! (Special mention to Norma who had some lovely goods for sale on the beach, great quality and good value for money. I bought a coverup which I wore almost every day, plus some souvenirs to take home.) I cannot forget to mention the staff. They were so friendly and kind. We were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and they really made the day special, with lots of extra little touches. They accommodated any food requests (due to allergies) without issue, and after we had been here a few days remembered what we needed without being prompted. We booked a few excursions, including a private taxi tour of the island and also a catamaran day trip. Both were arranged by the resort and were definitely worth the money. (Separate reviews will follow!) All in all, it’s been an amazing trip. I would recommend this resort in a heartbeat, and wouldn’t hesitate to return x Read less
