Carlisle Bay

Beautiful beach. Good beach “toys” such as hobi cats, paddle boards, kayaks etc. Tennis courts excellent. Staff very nice and friendly and breakfast options and quality in particular is really good. I think a great place to go if you have kids as there is a family atmosphere. When we left, the place was packed with young families. A bit lacking if you want a luxury break as the property overall feels a bit tired and in need of investment. This includes the common areas as well gym and rooms. The staff are super nice but the service level would be a bit inconsistent for a more demanding traveller.

We loved our stay. It was exactly what we were looking for. Perfect setting, intimately laid out, terrific service from pre-arrival, greeting and checking in, bar and food service, and checking out. We will be recommending to our family and friends. A great place for families, groups, singles or couples.

At best a 3.5star hotel on a beautiful beach. Maybe best suited for families who want to do water activities. We were very disappointed that this was our last stop on our romantic couples trip. What looks like “coastal chic” on the website is really outdated, refurbished decor from the 80’s. The lobby was dark and dingy, with furniture possibly from the 70’s. The koi pond had trash thrown in it. It’s fine for what it is, just please do not book thinking it is going to be a 5 star resort.

What a wonderful experience! I absolutely love Antigua. The people here make the island so special and amazing. They’re such hard workers and really aim to try to please and help you. My family and i (husband, toddler and baby) went with the alol inclusive plan. The lunches at the hotel are incredible. You can order and eat at the beach which is what we did with two little kids. service on the beach was good. There were a couple days we had to track someone down to help with fixing the seats but otherwise everything went smoothly. The dinners at the hotel were okay. East was good if you were in the mood for Asian, the Italian restaurant is only open 2x a week and when we did go it was alright. The pizza is amazing tho. The dough was incredible. Because we had kids we couldn’t go to the adults only restaurant, and Indigo was really great. However if you’re looking for a change of scenery after being there a week and having breakfast in indigo, having dinner there becomes redundant. I cannot stress how amazing the Service is at the hotel! The only complaint, tho minor, is the room is a bit dated including the bathroom but very well kept. The beach. Oh the gorgeous beach!!! Perfect for toddlers and baby’s.

We stayed at the hotel for 5 days with our toddler and enjoyed everything about the place. Such a beautiful location, great service and excellent food.

Stunning, true luxury in that the incredible beach and service are matchless. Definitely get an all inclusive package if you plan to eat and drink at the hotel - prices are steep otherwise (or of course you can eat out, but plan that in advance). Try snorkelling down the jetty end of the beach to see the best sea life but you can find turtles anywhere. Takes a little getting used to how attentive the service is, but you’ll adjust ; ) Terrific food at Jetty and Indigo. East is worth a try but doesn’t have beach views. Ottimo ok if pressed but can be slow just after opening. If you have kids the activities are great, babysitting very good, and the main pool not too deep. Didn’t use cinema, did love the well stocked library. Well located for English Harbour, Shirley Heights. Not too bad for St. John and Stingray City. Lovely suites with great bathrooms and aircon. I can’t recommend this resort enough.

Everyone made you feel like a member of the family. It was off season so not crowded. Beach was great. Quiet water and the occasional rain wasn’t a bother. I would skip St John. English Harbor is beautiful and historic. Already planning for return next year

The resort felt spacious and not overly crowded despite the hotel being relatively full. We made good use of the watersports facilities. Might have been nice if they had a slightly bigger selection. There are 9 tennis courts, so great for those who are avid tennis players. Kids club staff were so friendly and there are activities for both the younger and older kids which was appreciated.
