Antigua Botanical Gardens

We spent 8 days at the resort for our 30th anniversary. We loved it so much that we only left once to walk 200+ yards to long bay public beach. The lodging was spacious and private, and the grounds were lush and amazing. They had the foresight to build their own on site water treatment facility, brewery and huge garden as ways to be self-sustaining. The staff were incredible, professional and always friendly. Brittany, Shalom, Tristan, Carrie Ann, Andre, Leon, Chef Marina and so many others were the highlight of the trip. Great food, great drinks, and tons of fun activities plus an overall laid back, island vibe made us want to visit again and again. The Calypso Cat tour was awesome, as was the snorkeling, kayaking and the Hobie Cats were super enjoyable and included with your stay. They even have their own Spotify playlist! Bring LOTS of $5s, 10s & 1s with you and bless these amazing people. Thank you Antigua and The Verandah!!!

So peaceful and quiet. Good food and great service. Beautiful property!

It was not like what we expected at all and the pictures they have up are nothing like what it actually is. We booked a beachfront room and when we got there than they want to tell us that we got a complimentary upgrade to a villa because or unfortunate events, thinking nothing of it we obliged thinking it was just the seaweed, later finding out they had this issue since early April but refused to contact us early to give us a heads up and than seeing it wasn’t just seaweed there was ongoing construction in those same rooms; and they still have those rooms “ available” to get. There was also small food options and going on vacation with someone who is hypoglycemic it was very hard to accommodate food as well. Overall it was not the vacation I envisioned at all
