I am not a big fan of the big beach hotels and took this place on recommendation. It is a self catering hotel with very comfortable rooms. There is a supermarket 5 mins walk away that stocks everything you need. I liked the fact that you could sit on the beach 2 mins walk away from a small marina and a bar called Jimmys that all the locals go to.

It is a holiday for people who want a bit of independence and peace and a taste of Carribean life. The main attractions are in english harbour 5 mins away and the best and most lively restaurants especially Abracadabra.

Feona who owns the place is fantastic and nothing is too much trouble...don't miss her Thursday night barbecue during the season!.

All the staff have been there for an eternity and it is run like a big family.

There is plenty to do with the kids and I would recommend a days fishing on a boat called Obsession in the Marina I had a trip of a lifetime and caught a 550Ib Blue Marlin!.

The only downside is that it doesn't have a pool but the water is literally outside your bedroom window.

I have been back twice to the hotel and would thoroughly recommend a visit if you want an antidote to Sandals!!

Keep up the good work Feona

The Catamaran was just the type of hotel we were looking for, intimate island ambiance and comfort with a spectacular vue of the harbor. Also the convenience of a gorcery store within walking distance and only minutes away from the restaurants and shops of Falmouth Harbor. But what really made our stay a special experience was the friendly staff, especially the Manager, Feona. Always greeting us with a friendly smile, infinite patience, and helpful suggestions on everything from restaurants to the best beaches. We fell in love with Antigua, and its people, we will return!

A nice romantic getaway yet perfect for a family vacation.I stayed at the Catamaran Hotel this summer with my two daughters, Keitesha and Shahema. We all had a fantastic time there. My daughters especially like the fact that the beach was right there. My youngest just couldn't get enough of the water. We all loved that fact that everything was so relaxed not our usual rush, rush. Feona (the manager) was a superb hostess she had arrange a tour of the island and she made sure that we had lots of the cultural dishes and tropical fruits. Keitesha also enjoyed having the fresh coconut water, it was a lot better than the ones we are able to buy here in Canada.As for myself I just can't get enough and that is why I am returning in December for the christmas.
Staying at the Catamaran Hotel is like your home away from home without the hustle and a lot of privacy and relaxation. And last but not least the staff makes you feel like you are a part of their family.

We are living on the island of Dominica (close to Antigua for 2 years. We took a weekend trip to Antigua and stayed at the Catamaran Hotel because we are a family of 5 and had to consider price. We were completely happy with it, our cottage was spacious and slept all of us easily, right on the beach, next to the marina, close to St. Johns, a place not to miss. Staff was nice also. We will definately go back.
