Just returned home from the Test Match in Antigua and feel i should give you all a more up to date opinion on Jolly Harbour Villas. Top marks to the girls who clean the rooms! I feel they should get most of the praise as their work is top drawer! All you will need is available on site for your stay, but you will have to pay for it. You rent almost everything you take for granted. You dont pay a extra premium for electricity but you have to rent a special adapter to use it, not a standard plug no matter which side of the pond your from. South beach is the best, give the north a miss. In busy times remember to book resturants early, they are good quality and service is prompt, except in the Piano Bar, but food is still worth the wait. Rent a car for a couple of days to see the best of the island, no more than that. English Harbour is great for the Brits to see how bad we were in times gone by. If you have any questions just ask ( I may regret saying that!)

After receiving confirmation for our reservation at Jolly Harbor and providing a credit card,we purchased airline.Two weeks later,we received an e-mail from hotel that they could not honor our reservation.Stay away from Jolly Harbor!!!!

Just back from a wonderfully relaxing hol at The Villas.As mentioned in other reviews the South Finger is definately the best place to be situated.Generally about a 10-15 min walk to reception,pool,bars & Epicurian general store.There is a pharmacy,bank 6 places to choose from for dining out.Some time later this year the Epicruian store will be moving to much larger premises just across the road.We found The Grand Princess Casino to be a little too lavish for our liking.Unfortunately they didn't seem to be geared up for the invasion of cricket fans over for the Test Match.One lunchtime they seemed in total chaos running out of all Caribbean brewed beer & what was going on the kitchen heaven only knows.We gave up & left after waiting over an hour for a simple mel. The villas were fab.Only the two of us but it could have slept 8 or 10.Kitchen cooking equipment a little lacking & we feel a microwave should be standard for all rooms.Some had them ours didn't. At night things are a little quiet.The BBR Pool Bar has entertainment on some nights.Look out for the Halcyon Steel Band either at BBR or Shirley Heights on a Sunday they are "The Best". The Castaway Beach Restaurant does nice nosh as does Coco's at the other end of the beach,a must if you are looking for a romantic evening.The Dogwatch Tavern on site is ok although a little small.Could do with some exterior seting as they don't have air con at the mo.Watchout for loiterers near the BBR Bar they will try to sting you for Aloe,CD's,beads.

We have just returned from Jolly Harbour Villas,we were in the South finger. It was all we could have wished for. My husband,myself and 3 children loved it and did not want to return home. The villas were clean and well equipped and the view was superb. We fished off the balcony which was great fun and caught a variety off small fish( We put them straight back). The beach and sea were just as the pictures show white sand and turquoise sea. The staff were the most helpful and friendly I have come across, nothing was too much trouble. My husband and son went on a helicopter to Montserrat which was by all accounts a great experience if not a litttle expensive $190 us per person. We really had a great time and are off to book again for next year. Please feel free to e mail.
