Just wrapped another trip at Jumby Bay, while different it was equally if not more wonderful. 5 years ago my husband and I enjoyed the resort solo, this time we took our two young daughters. The rooms are gigantic, comfortable, beautiful. The water- beautifully clear with a sugar sand beach. Water sports are - incredible. Vaughn literally taught me to “drop the rope” and wakesurf in two tries. When you said the words “All inclusive” there is a stigma , but the drinks, meals and service are 5 star. Towards the end of our trip, our 7 year old got sick and the entire resort led by GM Will, bent over backwards to help. Be sure to take advantage of all the resort has to offer (White Party, Visit to on property farm to pet sheep, see baby turtles and chickens, Complementary bicycles).

Hotel's Favorite
Just came back from our most recent visit to Jumby Bay. We have been going most years for the last 17 years. It’s hard to describe to people why Jumby Bay is so special. There is a feeling that you get there that I’ve never gotten at any other resort. When you get off the plane there is a representative waiting to escort you through the covid and immigration lines. This person waits with you for your luggage and then escorts you through customs and brings you outside to an awaiting car. A quick 5 minute ride to the ferry and a short 15 minute boat ride and you are in paradise. As soon as I have my 1st rum punch, I know I’m in my happy place. We stayed in our usual pool suite. Just as lovely as always. The fitness center is in good shape. Loved the yoga classes, aqua fitness and tennis clinic. The restaurants are all wonderful. If they don’t have something specific on the menu, they are happy to make it for you. The beach is just as lovely as always. And the staff is fabulous. We love seeing the same people there each time we come. They greet us like family. The only critique we have, that keeps Jumby Bay at a 9 instead of a 10 is access to the water. I under that as soon as the seasonal shutdown happens at the end of this month, the bay will be dredged. Once that occurs, Jumby Bay will be a solid 10! Can’t wait for our next trip to paradise.…

We spent a few amazing days at Jumby Bay. What an incredible place!! There are great places to go on vacation and then there are simply great experiences….. Jumby is most certainly the latter. From the moment we stepped onto the dock in Antigua we knew we were in for something special. After 7 minutes (we timed it!) on the boat and by the time we were greeted at the dock by Rozanne & Ashley (with cocktails in hand and who were both so helpful throughout our stay), we had our flip flops already on and the stress level from life in NYC was already cut in half and it only got better from there. We stayed in Pool suite with our two kids, and it was a perfect set up for our family. Given the island’s set up, the kids were able to get up when they wanted, hop on their bikes and ride around the island, visit the farm to visit the sheep, play on the beach or stop by the Veranda for breakfast. With no need to worry about room keys, cars or strangers on the island not only did the whole experience allow us to relax as parents but allowed the kids some independence. Jumby Bay quite simply redefines the term all inclusive. And everyone is SO friendly! There were so many highlights and people we would like to thank to give this review some context, but we can’t remember all of them. Shawn and Alex who ran the all the watersports/snorkeling trip were brilliant. Shawn was so patient with our daughters during our snorkeling trip to make sure they saw everything and that they were comfortable in the water. We were also totally comfortable letting the kids go out on their own tubing and waterskiing during the day. Many thanks to Patel and his team for a couple of stunning dinners at the Estate House. Not only was the food superb, service immaculate but the whole atmosphere gives such diversity to the culinary options at the resort. Finally, a special mention to the whole crew at the beach bar - always ready to have a chat about sports, politics, life in general they were always welcoming and super friendly (the kind of guys who would probably remember your name and pick up the last conversation if you went back 12 months later!) Obviously, we didn’t like Jumby much 😉 we honestly can’t think of a single experience we didn’t like.! We hope to come back very soon to this amazing island! It's worth every penny!…

This place is truly spectacular. we recently took a short family vacation to Jumby Bay Island, and it didn't disappoint. From the moment we arrived every detail was flawless. We were met at the airport by Janet, a member of the Jumby team and driven a short distance to the dock where a private boat was on hand to take us to the Island. On arrival we were greeted with their signature cocktail, before being whisked away to our poolside suite, which was extremely spacious and well laid out. From that moment on until we departed my wife and I felt completely relaxed and pampered, while our kids were kept busy with the numerous water activities on offer, not to mention the opportunity to explore the natural beauty of this Island. The food and beverage offerings throughout our stay were finely curated and there were multiple dinning locations to choose from. The team on the Island are exceptional at delivering what can only be described as six-star service. A few notable mentions include Sean who took care of all our water activities, Abbigail and Kendia in the restaurant, Patricia and Kisca from the Estate House, and not forgetting Mario from the Verandah bar who makes the best "Old Fashioned" I've ever Had! A couple of tips, get up early and take a walk over to pasture bay, you won't regret it. Try the Rum tasting, outstanding selection, and if you've a sweet tooth the tableside souffle at the Estate House is a must! Looking forward to returning to paradise soon..........…

This was by far the most amazing place I have ever stayed!! I came with 3 of my friends and we are already counting down the days until we can come back! The water, views and scenery were just as amazing as the outstanding service and incredible staff- I cannot recommend Jumby Bay enough!

Water sports, beach lounger service and attention to detail all round. Jumby is the place to relax and unwind. Easy to get around by foot, bike or buggy and completely safe. Families can choose from a range of activities, kids club, spa, snorkelling or just relaxing on the beach.

Despite paying $34,000 for 6 nights for a 2 bedroom villa, it was one of the worst places we’ve ever stayed. It was old, outdated, dirty, the air conditioner didn’t work well- the list goes on and on. Jumby Bay refused any type of compensation or room change for the abysmal accommodations and that is why I’m writing this review- to help others from spending their hard earned money on such a terrible resort. Besides our villa issues, service was lacking in many areas. All meals were painfully slow (well over an hour for breakfast and lunch and much longer for dinner). The tennis instructor was rude. The water sports staff was mostly rude (there were a few exceptions). When my kids wanted to order food, such as a fruit plate, from the bar in between meals, he was rude. In general, most of the staff was not friendly. Many of the previous reviews paint this idyllic picture of Jumby Bay and it is nothing close to that- the water stinks (our bathing suits smelled horribly after swimming in the sea), the food is mostly mediocre, there are big trucks and golf carts zooming around on the paths (same paths for biking/walking), our massages were disappointing, included activities and dinners have to be scheduled months in advance or daily (which is also a pain because one has to remember to go to concierge and sign up at the specified time each day) and not much to do- especially for kids. I could go on and on about the negatives but fortunately there were a few positives- the kids club staff, some of the servers, the waterskiing/wakeboarding and the snorkeling trip. Overall, I would never recommend this resort and have already dissuaded others from booking. Please don’t waste your money.…

Rooms were a total disappointment with no.proper hot water . Departure day we requested a sandwich with a chutney spread . Instead they forgot to make that, as we are running late on the boat back, they bring a coffee cup full of the spread they made Instead of the sandwich itself . So I guess no lunch for me.

There is no place like Jumbo Bay in the whole Caribbean. The simple, effortless feel of everything cannot be found anywhere else. No cars, no keys, no bill hassles at meals. Everything is easy so you can enjoy the beach, the water sports, nature etc. The food is absolutely top notch, every single meal ....fantastic. The staff is fantastic, never overbearing, simply helpful when needed. Will come back here forever!!
