I share my wisdom of the island it’s beaches and attractions and provide a list of the most interesting resorts in Antigua. For the resort to make it here under it must be best at something – will will let you know what that is for a range of prices and categories of resorts.

[Luxury] Luxury is hard to define for everyone. Certainly in these featured resorts you will find luxury in the sense that you will feel pampered and have full range of services available in house. The accommodations also meet high standards. It would be reasonable to let you know that luxury in Antigua is not the same as a seven star Burj Al Arab in Dubai for example.

[Family] Catering to the demands of families and heading for a resort aimed at families makes sense. You will find differences in the style of dining and entertainments available. You may find levels of service and luxury still depending on the particular resort. Other reasons for the existence of the family resort is that some resorts have minimum age restrictions. So coming with children under 12 can be limiting here.

[Boutique] A boutique resort is a small-scale luxury resort that offers personalized services and unique experiences to its guests. Typically, a boutique resort has less than 100 guest rooms (in Antigua much less) and is situated in a fashionable urban or remote location. The resort’s design and decor are intentional and distinct, with an independent attitude that sets it apart from corporate hotels. The best travel writers describe boutique resorts as intimate, stylish, and offering a catered, personal experience to each guest.

[All Inclusive] Antigua likes the all inclusive plan. It suits me too! Having control over the cost of a vacation before you know how much things cost is a good thing. You also can’t beat the value and more-so the convenience that an all inclusive offers. In this resort list we tag those resorts who at least offer this plan among other board basis.

[Booking] Booking links open up with the respected and trusted Booking.com you can get an idea for the nightly rate and the types of rooms on offer. You do not get charged more for clicking through these links and we use revenue to support the development of Antigua Blog. Thank You!

The Halcyon Cove

The Halcyon Cove story has come to an end. Royalton are now developing a new kind of fun resort experience they call chic. The Royalton CHIC replaces the Halcyon and quite frankly that is saddening. This was a special resort with a unique feel. This corner of the island is going to get a new drum beat right next door to Sandals.

The Halcyon Cove in Dickenson Bay : Best for its ideal size and friendly staff at a budget (TIP : go all inclusive).
