Tradewinds is unusual in that it’s not on the beach but if you’re not on a beach holiday that’s not a problem. In compensation, the hill top setting gives sublime views and the huge rooms have vast terraces, looking down over lush greenery to the brilliant blue and white of Dickenson Bay. The walk down to the beach is not arduous, nor is the walk back (and there is a shuttle bus).

Food is reasonable and the outdoor terrace is lovely - though like too many hotels in the Caribbean, fruit juice is fresh from the carton, the coffee is instant and the dinner menu contains frozen sea food (all this on a tropical island!).

It’s convenient for the airport and St John's but still in a peaceful setting. Not for a honeymoon perhaps, but then most travel is not undertaken by newly weds, the price is very keen and you feel you’re staying somewhere unique.

Trade Winds Hotel is located on top of the hillside looking out on and over Dickenson Bay. The hotel layout gives all rooms great views and amazing sunsets to watch.

Rooms are spacious and airy so that you don't feel trapped. You have your own private balcony to enjoy the views and sunshine. The rooms come with ceiling fans as well as air-conditioning (in case your need it), satellite TV, a mini fridge and on-suite bathroom.

The hotel also has a great restaurant called 'Bay House' which is very well known on the island. There is also a pool and sun deck with a bar where you can easily relax.

A couple of great beaches are only a 10-minute walk away or a couple of minutes in a taxi or bus.

If you’re comfortable enough to hire a car and drive around Antigua then this hotel will be a perfect base for you. Even if you’re not up for hiring a car then the beaches, St John's (the capital) and the airport are only a short taxi or bus ride away.

Our stay there was great. It was quiet, clean, and tidy with friendly staff, the ideal way to relax. The facilities may not be as up to scratch as some of the high class hotels in the UK, but that didn't make the blindest bit of difference. We rented a car for the 2 weeks we were their, and it made our holiday even better, as we could come and go as we pleased. It was like our very own mini apartment in Antigua!

PROS:
Quiet
Spacious
Great Views
Friendly Staff
Only a short distance to St John's
Great restaurant on the grounds

CONS:
A little far to walk to the beach on very hot days!

OVERALL:
Excellent! Would happily go again and again!
