Top Carlisle Bay Hotel Reviews

Pineapple Beach Club Antigua - Adults Only – All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was so wonderful! Staff was so"

Galley Bay Resort & Spa - All inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The most friendly staff we have encountered in all are travels. Our room was kept spotless and serviced twice a day. The food ranged from good to very good with an ala carte menu for every meal. The beach was expansive and beautiful, the only drawback was the prevalent jelly fish in the ocean. Overall experience was excellent"

Cocobay Resort Antigua - All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"I travel a lot of places and stay at a lot of different resorts some big some small. My most recent choices have been smaller boutique hotels/resorts. The two most important things for me are, the staff and the food. I was blown away by how kind and helpful every staff member was. One of the groundsmen was using a wheel barrel with heavy items inside. I stopped to ask where something was at. He sat down the wheelbarrow and prepared to walk me all the way to the destination I was looking for. Then I told him just point me in the right direction. I thought he would walk me all the way to the spot while he was in the middle of his own project was surprising. I got that same feeling multiple times. The food was excellent. I’ve been to a lot of resorts where it’s just good enough to satisfy. This kitchen is pumping out some high-quality gourmet meals. The Coco Bay burger was my favorite. I must’ve gotten it at least eight times over the course of 10 days. I asked for medium and they cooked at medium every single time. That is unusual for sure. When you get a burger outside of the United States, you always wonder about the quality of meat. Not here the meat was what I would expect from a good restaurant back home in Chicago. The resort had perfect location with great views overlooking a bay and and in a great position for amazing sunsets. My normal rule for traveling is never go the same place twice. There’s so much to see so many places to go, but for this place I would come back"

Jolly Beach Antigua - All-inclusive

8/10 Good

"Overall experience was good for the cost."

Buccaneer Beach Club

10/10 Excellent

"We needed a comfortable and convenient place to stay while we drove around exploring the island. This place was perfectly located close to a large supermarket and several eating places nearby. The ability to walk onto the beach in less than a minute was an added bonus. The rooms were very clean with quite comfortable furnishings and a kitchen filled with all the items needed for our breakfast making and simple meals. The air conditioning worked well and the ceiling fans also kept the place cool when the a/c felt too cold. The grounds were well maintained with several places to sit comfortably to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Staff were very friendly and supportive to make our stay enjoyable."

Heritage Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Heritage has seen better days but in is clean, rooms are large, staff are very friendly and there is Internet and air conditioning. You are in the heart of the city. What else could one ask for!"
