Saint John Holidays

With two private beaches on-site and the magnificent Long Bay Beach just a short walk away, relaxation is easily found. We loved everything about our stay, especially since it’s perfect for those seeking a quieter vacation.

Nice facility. Polite & accommodating staff. Very curious that the bars did have ingredients for standard drinks and drinks offered on their menus. Wi-Fi was off and on for our 9 days.

Loved how friendly and helpful the entire staff at the resort were. Our room and property were very clean. Special kudos to our pool bartender Crisheida who was awesome. All the food, even the buffets were good, but they advertise 6 restaurants and most of our stay only two were open most nights for dinner. Also our beachfront room had beautiful views, but our beach ( the Atlantic side) was unusable because of all the seaweed. Only the Mamora Bay beach was usable, but very nice.

Cocobay Resort was a little older (or run down) than expected. The cottages were quaint and we were lucky with an end unit with surrounding foliage where we couldn't see our next door neighbor. On several occasions, we briefly had warm water for a shower before it turned cold. The surrounding beaches were amazing with okay snorkeling experiences. The majority of the staff was wonderful. As an all-inclusive resort and paying as a Silver Sand guest, we believed we could dine at The Cliffside. We could, for an additional $60/person. I had emailed the resort to reserve some days/times and was not informed about the extra expense. Therefore, the only available restaurant for all inclusive meals was Rafters. The food was delicious. We were surprised at the garbage that was located on and around the resort. There were also several days during house cleaning when a red hose was hooked up to grey water (?) and dispersed the fowl smelling liquid onto the surrounding lawn/landscaping. Overall, our vacation was fantastic, the beaches were great, the food was delicious, and most of the staff were very friendly. However, if we return to Antigua, we will stay at a different resort.

Looking for the perfect relaxing getaway? The Escape at Nonsuch Bay is your answer. Clean spacious room with an exceptional view. Staff was accommodating and helpful. There are set times for breakfast, lunch and dinner (you choose the time) and each day the menu changes. Even though the options are limited, the food was delicious. Didn’t have a bad meal the entire stay. Afternoon snacks were good too. Drinks at the bar were on point. Drinks at all inclusive resorts are usually watered down, this isn’t the case at The Escape at Nonsuch Bay. Found that out with the welcoming rum punch. A shuttle runs twice a day to a beach that’s close by. You can walk (10 mins) but I wouldn’t recommend if you’re not in some type of shape. The resort is on the east side of the island and I would recommend a rental car if you’re looking to get out and explore. Having a Netflix account is a plus. The shower water pressure wasn’t the best and the didn’t get hot enough to my liking. Wash cloths had to be delivered to the room. Overall, you can’t go wrong by staying at The Escape at Nonsuch Bay.
