Beautifully manicured grounds on arrival. Easy parking outside our cottage. Good sized bathroom with plenty of hot water and nice toiletries. Well appointed kitchenette and we had to ask for just a couple of essential items. Nice balcony surrounded by trees. However, one of the cats was a real problem coming onto the balcony and leaving mess on the couch. Heavy music from a nearby property was a problem on occasions. Kitchen surfaces were dirty on our arrival and there was no hot water or even hot water pipes to the kitchen sink. This property was very handy for lots of beautiful beaches. Need a car from here to travel around.

Thanks for this glowing review, however, this guest did not stay at Caribbean Holiday Apartment. They must have stayed at Caribbean Inn.

There are no facilities at the property. The water is turned off at night so u need bottled water to clean your teeth! There is no restaurant, no bar and no beach at the property as advertised. The air conditioning does not work! The nearest area is a 3mile walk away which is okay during the day but not at night! Falsely advertised more like a hostel!!

Thank you for your perception of our facilities. We explained that the water pressure was suppressed because of the local water company and Antigua occasionally suffers from drought and we have had no rain for awhile. We have NEVER advised that we are on or near a beach. If the air con didn't work, you never took the time to report the matter as all our air conditioner works perfectly. If you were dis-satisfied with the facility - we would have been more than happy to have compensated you in some form or another. We still thank you and we will inform our staff of your comments to make us better able to serve the next set of guest. Regards C.H.A.

Very misleading description. No hot water and eater is turned off at night so could not even brush teeth! Staff very helpful

Dear guest, We sincerely regret that your stay with us was so disappointing. We thank you for your review, however on your arrival you were informed by both myself and my son that since it was late, we will check you in the following day. On arrival, you were informed that no matter how small your request, my son who lives on property will take care of whatever issues/problems that may arise during your stay. You never made any requests to him. I was on the property all day, however, when I came to your room both parties were out. Later in the afternoon, you informed me that the outlet for upstairs was not working. You were shown that the outlet was in good working order and you were shown that the radio was working. I discovered that the bulb was blown and I immediately replaced it. We apologise for the water issues: however, this is a challenge we face periodically in Antigua because of low rainfall. The local water company either reduces the pressure of the water or they turn it off completely

Home away from home
Generally a clean, comfortable apartment with good working appliances. Very convenient for easy transportation. Just walk 20meters from the building and step into a bus that takes 8-10 min.to the City.

Dear Guest, Sorry for not replying not replying sooner. We have been having a great deal of challenges with the local internet provider for weeks now hence we have had to terminated their services. We have now required a brand new internet provider and we are very happy at present with the service. The bar was closed at the time of your visit and they are also undergoing a restricting process. Thank you once again, and your review can only make us better. Regards Caribbean Holiday Apartment

I cancelled this reservation. Room was filthy...
This is the worst place I have ever been to. I cancelled my reservation. Please look at the places your are sending travelers to. I would not even allow a dog to stay there; it was that bad.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to give a feedback. While we welcome all feedback, I was very disappointed/affronted when I read your comments. Upon receipt of your booking, it was understood that you wanted a room on the ground floor, to which we responded to readily. On your arrival, you again inquired and was advised we do not have any. You stayed the first night and the following morning you came to the office and requested toiletries etc. which were handed to you. You then went on further to say that there were ants in your room; which were taken care of. You advised us that you would stay on. We apologize for any negative experience you may have had and we assure you that we will continue to do our best to give excellent customer service at all times. Anetta Simon-Williams

The reception was closed on arrival. The bar next door arranged the keys
Response from Anette on 23 Mar 2017
On behalf of Caribbean Holiday Apartment, we would like to thank you very much for your comment. The bar and the apartments are run by one entity. When I have to leave my son is in between the reception and the bar if its a late arrival as a majority of the time, we do not get arrival times. We hope that this did not mar your time spent with us and look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Best wishes and hope you had an eventual journey back home. Anetta and Kez

No shuttle, poor taxi service
Very poor service. The hotel indicates airport shuttle but they in fact do not have one. They arranged taxi ride to and from hotel but both times no taxi arrived and the owner had to pick me up. I waited almost two hours to get picked up and the second time I was stranded locked out of the hotel at 5am. Do not trust them for taxi or shuttle, otherwise an ok hotel

Like staying with family
We had a great stay at the Caribbean Holiday Apartment. The staff was wonderful. They treated us like family and went out of their way to make sure we had a good visit. The room was large and had everything we needed in an apartment. Quiet area in the country. So sad we had to leave. Will absolutely go back.

t.Dear Gaku Many thanks for choosing Caribbean Holiday Apartments. We are sorry that you thought our facility is too out of the way, We are located 10 minutes from St John's - the capital and 10 minutes from Jolly Harbour a shopping center with all the necessary banks and supermarkets. The bus stop is just outside the apartments to take one to either direction should you require it. The Office is open six days per week and we are available to point you in the right direction. We would like to thank you once again and wish you all the very best in your future endeavours. Best regards Anetta Williams Office Manager

Perfekt beläget mellan jolly beach och st Johns.
Det går bussar åt båda hållen och ägaren är helt fantastisk och hjälper till att fixa vad ni än behöver!
