We stayed at the Jolly beach for 1 week, ( the wk before the easter hols) It was fantastic. Yes weve stayed at hotels with far more luxurious rooms etc. However we loved the jolly beach resort. We had a car for a few days to check out the islands beaches, we where suprised that ours was the best by... more

Myself, my now husband and our family travelled to Antigua for our wedding. The hotel resort is quite old and when we arrived in our room we were a bit dissapointed as they were very old and tired. Saying this though we had the most amazing time, our wedding was an amazing day, it was so much more than we... more

My husband and I just got back from Antigua. We were told that this hotel wasn't fancy but we didn't expect it to be that bad! It was built in 1979 and I don't think it's been renovated ever since.

Transfer to and from airport - disorganised chaos in cattle vans Rooms - miniature - nothing like the web site, couldn't swing a cat Food - inedible - "Italian" restaurant serves uncooked rice as Risotto, dead cockroaches on the floor, Hemispheres restaurant like eating in an aviary with birds everywhere Plumbing in the rooms like something from the dark ages... more

We booked our trip through Virgin and paid the brochure price minus frequent flyer discounts so for 3 of us the holiday cost in excess of £4k. We had received 2 different recommendations about this hotel and relied on them to book it. What was good - flight upgrades on Virgin and their pre-holiday processes; the Jolly Beach Bay was... more
