...booked our week at the Verandah back in July 2007, for our 30th wedding anniversary, we monitored the reviews on various sites with some trepidation, but were absolutely delighted with our stay. We had booked an Ocean Front room and having checked in and enjoyed our welcome drink, we were quickly whisked by shuttle to Room 179, which had a great combination of location and view. The room was very smart and comfortable, with all the facilities we ...
...most lasting memory of the Verandah will probably be the genuinely friendly and helpful attitude of all the staff, and the other local people that we met. They made the time to ask about our day, and our plans for the rest of our stay. We would highly recommend the Verandah for a relaxing break in Antigua. ... Read review

Advantages: The food, hammock, room and the staff
Disadvantages: zero

...2006. We stayed at the Coconut Beach Club, and thought the place was brilliant. If you're looking for a quiet place to relax and do very little, at the best price in Antigua, this is the hotel for you. The hotel is located beside Yepton Beach on the west of the island, about 20 minute's taxi from the airport in St John's (the capital of Antigua). Our package deal was with Virgin Holidays so transfers to, and from the airport were included in the ...
...is the 'redcaps'. They are locals, wearing red caps, who 'helpfully' start loading your bags onto a trolley without your permission, the second you take them off the baggage carrousel, to take them out to the taxi rank. Of course they want payment for this service, so you have to insist they leave you alone as soon as they start to grab your bags. The taxi area is literally seconds away from baggage claim so no matter how many bags you have, or even ... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful, and perfect for a romantic holiday
Disadvantages: Not good for those who want a lively holiday

...chosen to stay at the Cocobay Resort and it was truly the perfect place to have stayed. The hotel is all inclusive and is classed as a 3 star superior hotel. We both thought it deserved a higher tag than this though. The resort is adult only and the rooms are each individual cottages so this allows for privacy and relaxation. The cottages are are pastel coloured of which my wife had wanted a pink coloured one but we ended up in a pale blue one! ...
...balconies with a rather large hammock on and two chairs. The bed in the room looks directly facing the balcony doors so it was gorgeous waking up to a lovely sea view in the morning. A ll rooms have a mini fridge and tea and coffee making facilities but no tv's!! The idea of the resort is that is specialises in wedding and honeymoon couples and so they believe you won't miss one of these in the room! For those who just need to see some tv there is ...

Advantages: Individual cottages, the atmosphere, staff
Disadvantages: Not as big of selection of food in evening as I expected

...that you are at the Cocobay hotel really! Check in: Check in is very smooth - they go through all details with you that they need to and advise when the room will be ready if you are arriving early. They advise that you can leave your luggage at reception and that it will be taken to your room for you. You are given your key and can go back to reception to check if it is ready later on - if it is then they will advise that you can then get in the ...
...co-ordinator met us at check in to arrange a time to meet to go through details. This was arranged for the same day which I thought worked well as it meant that this was done and we could then just chill out knowing that was arranged and we knew what was happening and when. Rooms: We have booked to stay in a standard room simply because the cost for a sea front with the private pool was out of our budget and then also because I knew that most of ... Read review

Advantages: Food and staff
Disadvantages: beach isn't one of the nicer ones in Antigua and rooms terrible

On my recent trip to Antigua myself and my husband stayed at two hotels - this was the first one we stayed at and it was only the result of the first night at our chosen hotel being overbooked and so this was where we were sent for our first night in Antigua. The hotel is classed as a 4 star hotel and is based on All inclusive. We had been put in a Superior sea view room type to make up for being put in a different hotel so this review will be based ...
...a short ride away from the airport at about 15-20 minutes and is located in a place called five island where funnily enough there is five small islands out in the bay near it. It is approximately 4 miles away from the capital St. Johns. Check in: Check in was very easy with the girl on reception giving us a small form to fill in and then giving us some leaflets about the resort which included details of meal times and water sports available. We ... Read review
