Jolly Beach Tours

I booked this hotel specifically for the plunge pool. It's a beautiful property with beautiful views. It is secluded. The room and pools were clean. The selection of food was ok. I did order the lobster our last night (for an extra charge) which was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. We also booked a couples massage. That was nice and relaxing. However, the resort ran out of vodka twice during our stay. This is the only alcohol my husband drinks. Which was disappointing for him. The rooms however clean and nice could use some upgrades to the sinks and shower. Our shower drain was broke off and the corners were sharp. Also the patio is slippery when wet. Be carful getting out the pool. I'm not sure how you get down to the beach from the resort aside from taking a car. The beach was unappealing. There was a lot of sargassum and barriers to help keep it from shore (I get this is nature). Also we were told by security at the beach bar that it was closed permanently. Also the pool at the beach bar is for residents only. Not a problem for us since we rented a car and beach hopped. The best part of our stay was the power snorkeling with sea turtles. This excursion does NOT pickup from this hotel. Despite some of the negatives we enjoyed our stay.

We spent 8 days at the resort for our 30th anniversary. We loved it so much that we only left once to walk 200+ yards to long bay public beach. The lodging was spacious and private, and the grounds were lush and amazing. They had the foresight to build their own on site water treatment facility, brewery and huge garden as ways to be self-sustaining. The staff were incredible, professional and always friendly. Brittany, Shalom, Tristan, Carrie Ann, Andre, Leon, Chef Marina and so many others were the highlight of the trip. Great food, great drinks, and tons of fun activities plus an overall laid back, island vibe made us want to visit again and again. The Calypso Cat tour was awesome, as was the snorkeling, kayaking and the Hobie Cats were super enjoyable and included with your stay. They even have their own Spotify playlist! Bring LOTS of $5s, 10s & 1s with you and bless these amazing people. Thank you Antigua and The Verandah!!!
