Stayed in room 39A recomended by previous reviewer. Great room , good discount price because it was September, in fact we only saw 3 o4 other couples during our stay. Coconut Grove and beach restaurants both ver good although a little pricey as has been mentioned. Small but nice beach however the beach is shared with Sandals and they are bulding a large exstension and I can imagine that the beach might get crowded in the peak season. We recomend a trip to English Harbour for those with historical or naval interests (Take the bus from St. Johns its an experience).

We stayed at Antigua village as part of our timeshare options with RCI. Antigua village itself is not a resort but instead a kind of hotel of condos.

I'll start by saying that Antigua is the most wonderful Carribean country we have ever visited (we have been too many)! The people are good-natured, funny and not at all pushy. Really genuine! You can tell that tourism is not their number one industry as they aren't polished as the Bahamas for example, and we loved that because you really feel like you are experience a new culture! And I have to mention they know how to have fun!

Quick recap:

Rooms: Definetely dated. They are maintained by the condo owners and many are in need of a refresh. All rooms we saw were clean so that wasn't an issue... Just a little old. A full kitchen is in the room with all needed cookware and serveware.

Food: There is a fantastic grocery store only 10 minutes from Antigua Village, the Epicurean. They carry many US and Canadian brands and we bought a lot of food that we were used to buying at home. That was a nice comfort. The fruit and meat/fish at the Epicurean were some of the freshest we had ever tasted. We were hesitant at first to buy raw meat and eggs but we were so glad we did. What a difference it makes in taste when there aren't a ton of preservatives!

Restaurants: Fantastic! We were shocked at the quality of the restaurants in Antigua. We are big time foodies and we were fully satisfied with every restaurant we tried from sushi to French. We highly recommend Le Bistro (unbelievably delicious) and Papa Zouk (amazing atmosphere). These two restaurants are MUSTS! There are many other great restaurants too many to name.

Beach: The beach is small but well maintained and quite quiet which was nice. We were happy with it.

Excursions: Miguel's Holiday Adventure at Turtle Island!!! You have to do it! A day of fun, sun, snorkelling (if you want) and great food and drinks. Miguel is the sweetest man and his son that is now manager of the tour is just wonderful and funny! You can't go worng for approx $60 this is well worth every penny and more. Our best excursion ever.

Weather: We weren't so lucky in this area. Lots of rain which is unusual for Antigua but I guess that's what you get in mid October. It didn't put a damper on things for us as there was plenty of other things to do.

If you have a chance to get to Antigua - GO!! We don't particularly recommend this resort (it certainly isn't bad though) what we really recommend in the island of Antigua - Pure Paradise!

This was our second stay at Antigua Village. It is a condo community, not a hotel. We stayed in a studio apartment, which was perfect for a couple. The decorations were simple, but the place was clean and well maintained. It was by no means luxury accomodations, but that wasn't what we were seeking.

The village is immaculate. The grounds are very well kept. The pool is clean and appeared newly resurfaced. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The village is bordered on each side by good restaurants, The Beach and Coconut Grove. They are right on the water, have great atmospheres, and serve excellent food.

Antigua Village is on Dickenson Bay, which is a very pretty beach. It is a short walk down the sand from Sandals. The beach can be very busy, between the Sandals crowd and people delivered by taxi from cruise ships when they're in port.

All in all, if you are looking for a nice, clean room on a great beach near excellent restaurants (in paradise), we certainly recommend Antigua Village.

I should add that we stayed at the Village via SkyAuction, so we paid far less than the stated nightly rate listed on the village website. I would not be as happy had we paid $300-400 a night to stay here. Again, it's not luxury accomodations.

Antigua Village is very conveniently located on Dickenson Bay. The beach is beautiful, and plenty of lounge chairs are provided. There are palapas for shade.
We had a 1 BR villa - it was on the 2nd and 3rd floors of our building. The bedroom and bathroom were upstairs, the kitchen, living room, and 2 balconies were downstairs. While the furnishings weren't new, they were clean and comfortable. And the unit was very spacious.
The staff was very pleasant, as were all of the native Antiguans we encountered.
The two restaurant/beach bars at the edge of the property were very good. We especially liked the Coconut Grove.
There was a get acquainted party by the pool on Monday evening - drinks and food were provided. It was very nice.
There was daily maid service - the charge was $20 for the week. There is also a charge of $6 a day for each day you use the air conditioner. It was well worth it!
There are some very polite vendors on the beach, and a fruit lady has a truck in the parking lot. Great fresh produce.
