We booked this resort based off recommendation from family who stayed last year, looking at the review prior to going we noticed return guests feeling like the standard had dropped regards to food and overall experience so we were concerned and we were right to be. Food was limited/basic, I'm not fussy but the food wait and standard was awful. I'd recommend eating at half moon bay. I'll upload the cold cuts served at breakfast as I have no idea what meat that was ... Every nights they advised missing ingredients so the menu is pointless. Staff some nice others rude don't even say hi, it's hard to even order a drink without feeling like you're asking the impossible. BBQ night no longer a bbq just some dry meat finished on a bbq. Entertainment and pool snacks gone, last year there was also a quiz but it seems like the resort is struggling money wise and have had lots of cut backs. Rooms cleaned every other day which I found odd at an all inclusive, you have to request a pool clean as the birds ruin them with poo every day, it would be helpful if they could provide a net. No items stocked in the fridge other than 2 bottles of water which you have to keep during your stay and refill at reception, micro plastics and not hygienic. The star rating really needs to be looked at as the experience and amenities were no better than 2 star and we even looked at moving resorts but due to limited availability we had no option but to stay. We did speak to staff regarding our disappointment and the chef did apologies and made us a special dinner which was nice however the night after was back to low standard Luke warm meat and rice. We spoke to other couples there who also stayed prior years and they all agreed the place has gone down hill. The hotel really need to make some changes or change the rating but I would not recommend. The 2 star given was for the views and trip to green island. Read less

We returned on Sunday from an excellent week at The Escape at Nonsuch Bay Antigua. It was a truly fabulous stay, proving to be a most enjoyable getaway that certainly met our expectations. We wanted an escape and we got it. From the moment we arrived, we found ourselves in a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere, which allowed us to settle in and relax almost immediately. The staff team at The Escape were excellent. Every member we met was genuinely welcoming, attentive, and seemed keen to ensure our comfort. Their friendly demeanour and helpfulness certainly enhanced our stay, contributing to a very relaxed environment. The location itself is wonderfully situated in the tranquil Nonsuch Bay, it was a bonus for us to be tucked away so quietly. The resort offers lovely views and a peaceful ambiance that's perfect for unwinding. If you're looking for a proper break from the daily routine, this spot is ideal. Food was good and always plenty available. The bar was great with a fabulous selection of cocktails. Our room was a really comfortable and stylish space, the beds were particularly relaxing. We loved using the plunge pool on the very hot afternoons and just chilling together with an occasional trip to the bar for drinks. Beyond the resort, the trips to Green Island for snorkelling with turtles were a definite highlight. Swimming alongside these creatures was a memorable experience and the beach feels untouched. For the hotel beach, the convenience of the speedboat shuttle made beach excursions wonderfully easy. The Escape is a fabulous destination with a great team for anyone seeking a relaxing and comfortable escape. Read less

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
