Bad experience

Not so good experience. Reception check-in staff not so friendly - they made us wait even though the room was ready. There was no water supply in the washrooms at all. When we got to the room, there was not a drop of water in the sink or shower. After few hours, water supply was restored. Although all-inclusive, no mini bar in the room or even bottled water. Only one restaurant that gets filled with reservations when we had to stand in line in the morning to make reservation. Not a good place to stay.

I'm not sure where to start. Our experience began on a disappointing note when we entered our room, which was small and outdated—I'm 5'11" and my husband is 6'2", making it cramped. The mosquitoes were quite aggressive, and we had to complain to get a screen door. To make matters worse, construction workers were outside our second-floor balcony at 7 a.m., which was very disruptive. After raising our concerns, it took three days to move us to a more suitable room. Room service was complimentary for stays over six days, and the food was decent, especially for those on a diet. The beach was definitely the highlight of our stay, along with the locally brewed beer from the owner. This place has great potential but needs room renovations and a wider food selection.

The property has great beach access and the staff are friendly. Everything else is just ok. It’s an older resort and we didn’t get our room after an hour later as they needed to fix some “issues” in our room. Communication to the guests are very poor. As they didn’t notify us when they had to turn off the water in the entire property as they were fixing the main water pipes. We had the water back later in the day. It was a nightmare! The phone in our room wasn’t working too so we have to run to the reception area for every issue we have. They also don’t clean your room regularly so you need to let them know ahead of time. There’s not much food options. They have 1 ala carte, 1 buffet, 1 grill and 1 cafe. If you need to dine at the a la carte, you need to be online at 7am before the reservation desk opens at 7:30am, otherwise, you wouldn’t get a table.

The location could not be! The beach is absolutely gorgeous! For an all-inclusive resort, the food was very tasty. The only downside is the resort is a bit dated. The bed was comfortable, but the rooms could use a major upgrade. We didn’t focus on that too much because when you’re there, you’re rarely in your rooms, but the bathroom Definitely needs a redo. We would definitely go back.

We truly enjoyed our stay. This is an older resort & not a 5 star gold crown. We got what we paid for. The beach was beautiful & chairs were aplenty. We enjoyed the pool bar & outside long bar. New Year’s Eve buffet was excellent. The location of this resort was a $40 taxi ride from the airport & $50 round trip to St John, where the cruise port is. Roads are very narrow, I would not recommend renting a car. Overall, my husband & I were looking for a relaxing week & that is what we had!

The ocean view is amazing, sunsets and rises are spectacular. Building is ok, rooms are small and out dated, bed was comfortable. Food options were adequate. Pool bar ran out of vodka for two days and then ran out of coke. Other bars had the liquor so I didn't understand why they couldn't get it from another bar so they didn't inconvenience their cutsomers.

Disappointed with the Resort, but Antigua Itself is Amazing I recently stayed at Jolly Beach Resort in Antigua and was disappointed with the experience. While the pools were nice and the beach was absolutely stunning, the resort itself was very bare minimum. Unfortunately, the food and drinks left a lot to be desired—lacking quality and variety. I wouldn’t recommend the all-inclusive option here. Half of the staff were so nice, the other half did not want to be there. If you wanted a water you would get an eye roll. The beach, although beautiful, had some litter like beer bottle caps and fruit left behind by guests, which was a bit disappointing. That said, Antigua as a destination was incredible. Everything outside the resort—from the food to the atmosphere—was far better. Next time, I would explore a different accommodation option and skip the all-inclusive.

Every single staff member there seemed like they hated working there. Literally every one of them was rude and you could tell they didn't want to be working there. The property is straight out of the 70s and needs a ton of work/updating. The property was very dirty and not well maintained. I do not recommend staying here.
