We have just got back from Hermitage Bay and it was our second visit. We stayed there about 8 or 9 years ago but we won't leave it as long next time.
There was really nothing we could fault.
The beach and setting are beautiful....More
We just returned from our 5th trip to Hermitage Bay - yes, we have been there four previous times.

Hi Dirk, yes there is usually enough space to swim between the beach and the reef, depending on the tide. There is also a break in the reef which you can wade through to swim beyond. Alternatively there is space on either side - including by our water sports area - where you can walk straight in and swim. Depending on which photos you are looking at it may appear that the reef extends the length of the beach, but it does not. Let me know if you'd like me to send additional photos. My email is stephanie.mack at hermitagebay com. Thank you!

Hi Heather05xx
I see that a former guest has answered your questions. I'll add a few words on food if I may. Our philosophy is that we would like to offer adventurous eaters the opportunity of experiencing the local culture through the food we offer. Both my wife and I are foodies but we don't want to be 'preachy' so we offer as eclectic a range of dishes as possible. If a guest wants to stick to beef burgher and french fries they can have that. If they want to try Antiguan cockle water they can try that too. You can even have the experience of fishing for cockles with your feet standing waist high in the mangrove lagoon next to the property. If you catch local fish on a fishing trip, we will cook them for you.
The menus change daily for lunch and dinner and there is plenty of choice. We have our own organic garden and grow as much of our own local produce as possible. We offer fresh juices every morning which change daily.
We can also cater for food allergies and specific diets. If there is nothing on the menu that suits you we can do our best to cook what you like.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Best wishes
Andy Thesen
