Romantic resort on a quiet Antigua beach
Know Before You Go
This property caters to couples.
General Information
What to expect: This adults-only resort appeals primarily to couples seeking relaxing holidays in an open-air ambience. In keeping with its low-key approach, the resort does not offer group activities.
Amenity highlights: The resort's beach frontage stretches 125 yards wide and 50 yards deep, part of half-mile Turner's Beach on which there are no other resorts. For freshwater swimming there's a 32-by-20-foot pool. Use of snorkeling gear, sailboats, pedal boats, and windsurfers is part of the All Inclusive Plan. Independent vendors charge for water skiing, banana boating, glass-bottom-boat trips, and snorkeling and scuba-diving excursions.
Insider tip: Adjacent to the resort, a casual beach restaurant popular with cruise-ship passengers and others touring the island offers local specialties such as grilled lobster, curried conch, and fish cakes.
