I have stayed at many other hotels in Antigua. This is the best hotel. Quiet, good A/C, nice staff, good food, wifi, clean. Peaceful location. It is long way from other parts of the island, but worth it.

We have recently returned from a fabulous week in this friendly, laid back hotel. We were warmly welcomed by the management and shown up to a large well equipped room with a fantastic ocean view. We quickly found our way to the bar and met Brenda, possibly the star amongst the staff team. She looked after us really well all week and put up with us re-arranging tables to allow us to sit with other people that we met. The food was of a very high quality, because the hotel was quiet we had a la carte dinner all week. Chef Andrew is a character and made sure that everybody enjoyed their meals.

The hotel is on the quieter Atlantic coast but is in a sheltered bay and the waves gently lap the small sandy beach. Taxi's are easily obtainable and we took one to Shirley Heights on Sunday to enjoy the sunset and the music.

We kayaked and snorkelled in the bay and nagged the management to get the sailing boats fixed, which they were eventually by Thursday. Ericson the watersports guy is full of promises but it paid to go to the manager, Brian, to resolve the problem.

I used the spa on three occassions and it was generally good, although Stacey does give a very firm massage!

If you want lots of entertainment this is probably not the place for you, but as a place to chill and be pampered it takes some beating and the best thing is that children are not allowed!

We have recently returned from Dian Bay and we did not want to leave.
The surroundings are beautiful, the place is well maintained and it's very peaceful.
There is a choice of 3 different swimming pools to lounge at, and no scramble for sun-loungers!
The food was excellent and Chef Andrew personally greeted all the guests every night (lovely touch).
The best thing about Dian Bay is the beautifully polite and very helpful staff, especially the receptionists, Brian (the manager) and O'Connor (the bar-man).
You should hire a car and see around Antigua because it is stunning. One day my husband and I were the only two people on Half Moon Beach!
Enjoy!

The hotel was far away from the cruise port. you ride thru bad parts of the island. the room was unacceptable, no air, not clean. we were moved to another room. lighting bad in courtyards and i fell at night because there was no lighting on unexpected step down. it was a disaster. really hurt my knee. manager said the next morning he would not charge me for the room because of injury; needless to say, after i left his hellhole i never got a response from him.

dont go here - a paradise it is not.
