Just one week away and would concur with others that if staying here all inclusive is only way to go. Bar service good and food OK but might get a bit boring for more than one week. Resort a little tired but efforts of staff excellent. Beach beautiful and very safe for young children with shallow sandy beach. Plenty of watersports for those inclined, included non-motorised with all inclusive. Jet-ski $50 for 30min excellent. Don't expect exciting evenings by way of entertainment. Car hire available on site for $57 plus 15% tax and one off temporary licience for $20. Free wireless internet access and PC available in reception. Wari peir restaurant closed Sunday and Tuesday so book early for either of 2 days free with all inclusive. The Beach restaurant, past Sandals along beach, good alternative and range of choice if eating outside resort and not going into St Johns.

Great hotel for the money. Hard to believe this is rated a 3 star hotel. Much better than some 4 stars I have stayed with in the Caribbean. Staff were all EXTREMELY helpful. Check in was a breeze. Errol and Fenton are the best, and make sure that everyone at the resort has a good time. never ate on property, so can;t comment on the food. Truly enjoyed my stay here, and will continue to stay here every time I visit Antigua.

The service we experienced was fantastic, I have no complaints whatsoever apart from i wish it never ended. The staff were very kind and helpful with extra praise to Errol and Fenton, Errol for entertaining my son by giving him a job in collecting glasses, and to Fenton for entertaining my kids and allowing me enjoy my holiday too. The cleaners were very clean, tidy and efficiant. It was a truly wonderful holiday and would recommend it to everyone. I have spoke about it a fair bit to friends of mine of which are currently booking their next holiday with this hotel.

Although I'm only 16 years old, I know a good holiday when I go on one, as I have been to many other places in the Caribbean all at different star rates, this hotel deserves to be more than a 3 star. It's the quietest and smallest hotel I've been to but I still had an amazing time! It is all beautiful. The service I experienced was excellent, everyone was really friendly and had a smile on their faces (apart from one of the bar maids took her time getting everyones drink so I ended up waiting 15-20 minutes for a Coke)
The room was spacious, cool and clean, with a perfect pool-side view.
The location is right on the beach so your not a far walk from there and it is a gorgeous beach, although there is one guy named Gazza who pretends to be a footballer needing money to get over to the UK to play football and he did get quite threatning, but other than that it added a sort of entertainment to the beach in the day!
The buffet restaurant was great, the food with different themes on different days had plenty of choice to fit everyones taste, and the Warri Pier restaurant was also a nice change from the buffet.
Entertainment at night was good, with karaoke, 'Rex Got Talent', fire eater etc.
My favourite entertainer - Mario. He was amazing! Always had a big smile on his face, really friendly character and was always up for a laugh. He is an unforgettable guy who deserved a mention in here, along with Fenton too, he was hilarious.
I have to say the only thing I disliked was the Caribbean themed meal in the Buffet restaurant on a Friday, it didn't give me much choice. Oh, and the sand flys and mosquitos too! I hope this review comes in handy for people who are looking for a good holiday, this is definately somewhere I'm coming back to!
