We stayed at the escape nonsuch bay Antigua. The accommodation was stunning, I would recommend a first floor room to fully enjoy the beautiful views. The room was immaculate and cleaned and restocked as requested. The staff were polite and attentive. The excursions I thought were a little expensive so we hired a car, the roads are a little precarious with several potholes but this didn’t bother us. We visited Nelson’s dockyard, Shirley Heights, Saint Johns and Devils point. I recommend visiting all to experience the culture and history of the island. Everyone we met was friendly. Antigua has 365 beaches and in our 10 day stay we managed to visit 12, all of which were stunning. There is a beach near the escape about a 10 minute walk encountering a hill walk but it was fine. The beach has a bar, the water has quite a lot of seaweed on one side, minimal seaweed on the first part of the beach. The restaurant at the escape was very nice, however, if you have a fear of birds maybe not for you. The birds frequent the restaurant at breakfast and lunch times but we expected this as it is a tropical island after all. The food was good, portions perhaps a little small if you’re a big eater but you can ask for more. The staff catered very well for my vegan diet and the afternoon snacks by the pool were delicious. The pool was lovely with adequate sun beds and towels provided at reception. I had read the plunge pool in the rooms were cold but I didn’t find ours particularly cold and you can always warm up in the large bath in your room. Just to note the floating breakfast and petal bath is an additional fee. We absolutely loved our stay at the escape and would thoroughly recommend. Thank you to all of the wonderful staff. Read less

The Escape is a wonderful resort. The rooms look exactly like they do in the pictures and the staff cannot do enough for you. The plunge pool was refreshing. Housekeeping is every other day.

The Escape is a wonderful resort. The rooms look exactly like they do in the pictures and the staff cannot do enough for you. The plunge pool was refreshing. Housekeeping is every other day. The beach is a short walk over a hill (10 minutes ish but you need to be fit as it’s steep) or there is a free boat shuttle that you book the day before. The beach bar is part of the all inclusive and serves Banks beer, cocktails, spirits, wine and soft drinks. They were no longer offering food here when we visited. The restaurant is all a la carte, the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner changes daily but always has staples at breakfast alongside specials and cheeseburger for lunch and dinner alongside two other dishes. We enjoyed the food, it was all tasty and beautifully presented. The bar is between the restaurant and the pool, it is open 10am to 10pm. It serves draft Carib beer plus all the other options from the Beach Bar. The pool is small but we always found a bed when we wanted one, the last few days of our break a lot more smokers turned up - including one group of 4 Americans smoking weed around the pool which wasn’t pleasant. It’s a shame that there isn’t a separate area for smokers but I guess there is not enough room. The dock area has 3 additional seating areas which were nice for some private sun bathing. We booked a taxis from reception to Half Moon Bay and Ffryes Beach, they are quite pricey but standard for the island. We also took a boat trip to Green Island with Devon for $25 pp and the shuttle to Shirley’s Heights for $15 pp. All of these were enjoyable experiences. There are lots of different birds around the site and we saw plenty of mongoose and lizards in the mangroves. There is very little entertainment at the hotel, a couple of nights there was dinner music and we saw adverts for steel pan lessons and yoga but didn’t see them happen (we weren’t looking though). If you are party animals this isn’t the resort for you but if you are looking for a relaxing couples break then I highly recommended the Escape. Read less

Escape is set in a beautiful location with outstanding views across the bay. The hotel is remote which adds to the ultimate place to relax and unwind. The bay view rooms are well appointed and offer unlimited views and privacy with plunge pool on the good sized terrace. It’s convenient to collect cocktails from the bar for the room with tray provided if you so wish. The rooms are serviced daily by a very effective and flexible team. The food in the restaurant was consistently good from breakfast to dinner. The service and friendliness from the staff was excellent making every meal special. The team on the reception were welcoming, helpful and efficient with all our needs. Two trips we recommend are the three hour taxi tours, one visiting Shirley Heights and English Harbour the other to Devils Bridge, Betty’s Hope sugar plantation and Half Moon Bay, all organised by reception. Our trip was a special celebration heightened by the team’s special touches. We also booked lunch at The Reef, Green Island online (open November to April) with a complimentary water taxi from The Nonsuch Bay Dock. The experience was outstanding with incredible service and food albeit at prices deserving of the restaurant. A steep 15 minute walk to the pretty beach before lunch is well worth it, with nice seats in the shade next to the beach bar. We would highly recommend the Escape resort if you want to experience a remote, small and intimate vibe with outstanding service. Read less

My Wife and I spent a fabulous 13 nights at this amazing resort/hotel in early April 2025 for our joint Birthday celebrations. I had a medical equipment emergency requiring urgen international courier delivery to the hotel. Cheraine Simon the Escape duty Manager went way above and beyond the call of duty in assistance with this including collecting my package from the St John's Fedex depot and delivering this to me at the hotel. Without this my holiday would have been ruined and the personal impolications would have been devestating (I cannot thank her enough for her kindness and assistance). We must state that the staff at this complex are some of the warmest and kind that we have ever met whilst on holiday over the years. The relaxed and calming vibe at the hotel was perfect for our relaxed vacation, the food at the restaurant was absolutely first rate and Maxine the watress in the restaurant ensured that we received a first class service on every visit. Our room was exceptional and kept impecably well by the cleaning staff. We thank each and every one of the Hotel staff that made our holiday such a relaxed and pleasurable time. (Mosquitos were a bit of a nuisance but did not ruin the experience) See you again "ESCAPE" Read less
