My husband and I just returned from our incredible honeymoon at Jumby Bay. Although we booked the trip through a travel agent, we did all of the research on our own and made a great decision by picking this resort. We wanted a smaller, more secluded resort and that is exactly what we got. It is definitely a 5 star property and everything was excellent; the food, the service and the rooms.

We stayed in Rondavel #3 and it was perfect. It was in a great location, as we were close to the Estate House, the beach and the pool. Definitely recommend the rondavels!

There are just enough activities to do and the beauty of the island is the best part of it all. It is very romantic and serene and I highly recommend it to honeymooners. We're already trying to figure out when we can go back next. We met a couple there that was on their 5th trip to Jumby Bay.

This trip definitely exceeded our expectations and everything was incredible. The pictures of the resort are just as pretty or prettier in person! Most amazing place we've ever been!

My fiancé and I stayed at Jumby Bay for 3 nights in Aug this year. Being an all inclusive hotel, we were not sure how good the hotel would be, but were very pleasantly surprised.

We arrived at the Jetty and were whisked away on a boat to the small island where Jumby is the only hotel on the island. From the moment we arrived, we had the most wonderful time. The beach is beautiful and spacious, there are hundreds of star fish in the water, something very unusual. The service on the beach very good, we always had water on hand, and the cocktails were wonderful. We were very pleasantly surprised to see that although this hotel is 'all inclusive'' they do not cut any corners. The food is plentiful and fantastic. The range of drinks is exceptional. The staff were very friendly, especially the bar people. It was my partner's birthday and on request they arranged for a lovely bottle of champagne and chocolates to be brought to the room (and there was no charge on the bill when we left). If you are worried that you will be too far from everything on Antigua, don't be, as the ferry (5 min ride) leaves every hour).

Negatives: The room is a bit outdated for this type of accommodation now days, but in general it was very good. Also the limousine drive from the airport to the hotel is far too expensive, $25 per person, for a 5 min trip, so take a taxi from the airport if you can. These were the only negatives however, I highly recommend it!

Having read the reviews on trip advisor before we departed, we were quite concerned about where we were going. Having now been, I can see that certain areas need improvement but overall the holiday more than met my expectations.

Our room was fabulous, an upgrade to the one we actually paid for, with fully working air conditioning. It was room 3 which was in a perfect location and had everything we desired. A TV would have been good to watch the news about Hurricane Dean but overall you don't need one.

The hotel staff we excellent, especially Darren and Jenny from the bar - excellent company if you fancy a laugh and a few stories about Caribbean life!

Jumby bay is a beach holiday, and could do with a little more entertainment in the evenings, but overall it was paradise.

The one aspect that does need improvement is the food! Breakfast and lunch are nice, but lack change on the menu. The evening meals lack change on the menu, and is far to rich for the weather and for those who do not like complex meals. If the food had been different we would have given the hotel an excellent in terms of ratings.

Overall its wonderfully peaceful, beautiful beaches and you may bump into one of two movie celebraties as we did!

Second visits to a place you loved can be a disaster....not so Jumby Bay! The second time was just as brilliant...perhaps more so because it lived up to our every expectation. Yes the air conditioning isn't brilliant....but I wouldn't swap it because you'd lose the shutters and perhaps the desire to open all the doors - then you'd miss the birds and the sounds of the sea. The food might not be michelin starred but the staff more than make up for it...Stafford, Jenny, Maureen, the sommelier ( sorry name eludes me) Darren and the other staff are just brilliant. Hopefully the new management team, who are really trying hard will keep them. New improvements promised ....but please don't lose the sense of peace and the somewhat quirky boutique side which hopefully will keep the people who can't manage without TV, chain hotel sameness, keys or AC away. For the beach alone we'd return and wave at the poor souls leaving from the airport....rock on JB!
