We just came back from the Antigua Village two weeks ago in the end of May 2003 and it was everything that we had expected and wanted on our relaxing tropical getaway.
Our room/studio apartment was very large with a fully functioning kitchen. It was very clean and attractive and the maids even did the dishes! We brought food in and cooked most meals to save money but there were two adorable restaurants two steps away from the complex that we frequented for pina coladas and cocktails. The cable television was great, air conditioning, and I loved the scenic terrace that we ate all of our meals on.
The weather was perfect on Antigua, no rain as we had worried about and the temperature never went much higher than in the 80's with a light and wonderful sea breeze. The water is crystal clear blue and incredible. And Shirley Heights at sunset is very memorable. We also did not experience any bugs or mosquitos
The hotel was right on the beach and it is a beautiful beach shared with Sandals and other resorts as well as some water activity companies. We took a Katamaran around the Island which was fun if you're a bit on the adventurous side. Taxis are expensive on the island, and food's no bargain but otherwise it was all so perfect and we both came home feeling completely rejuvenated. I would definitely go back to Antigua and stay in the Antigua Village.
