All-Inclusive Resort with Live Entertainment on Pristine, Mile-Long Beach

On Antigua, hanging out is such a cherished pastime that it has its own slang term: “liming.” And there’s no finer place to lime than on one of the island’s many beaches, known for their powder-fine sand and blue waves. Located on the island’s south western coast, the all-inclusive Jolly Beach Resort & Spa takes full advantage of the idyllic shoreline with beachfront pools and ocean facing accommodations. According to the resort’s management, “Antigua likes to boast that it has 365 beaches, and Jolly Beach is one of the longest.” The mile-long stretch of surf enables windsurfing, sailing, and kayaking—all part of the resort’s all-inclusive offerings.

The sprawling, 40-acre property offers a long list of activities around the 8,000-square-foot main pool, such as staff-led calypso dance lessons and Caribbean cocktail-mixing classes. Every evening, themed entertainment ranges from fire-eating demonstrations to Caribbean-style beach barbecues, and local bands often provide live accompaniment. If you want to simply unwind, there’s a smaller pool where “nobody will bother you, except maybe a butterfly.” In the hotel’s open-air gazebos, staff members administer spa treatments that incorporate aloe, nutmeg, and coconut.

Most of the resort’s five restaurants feature open-air dining so that you can enjoy the refreshing trade winds—the same breezes that blow through guest-room balconies. Try Lydia’s Restaurant on the beach for steel-band tunes and fresh catches of the day.

Antigua: Colonial History Blended with Laid-Back Island Charm

On Antigua, the largest of the British Leeward Islands, you can visit a different beach every day of the year. The island has 365 of them, some of which were named by Frommer’s as the Caribbean’s best. Celebrities such as Oprah, Eric Clapton, and Giorgio Armani have been drawn to the powder-soft sands here, building sprawling estates amid the colorful Caribbean bungalows. In the northwest, Dickenson Bay is a popular destination with something for every type of beachgoer: umbrellas and loungers, glass-bottom boat tours, and fast-paced watersports. There’s an equally lovely landscape beneath the waves—just offshore, Cades Reef, a 32-foot-deep barrier reef, shelters barracuda, eels, eagle rays, and nurse sharks.

Like other isles of the British West Indies, Antigua retains a lot of English culture from its days as a colony, including a pervasive love of cricket and traditional afternoon teatime. You can see a lot of the island’s colonial roots in its capital city, St. John’s, where Fort Barrington served as an important military defense post for the British Royal Navy as far back as 1652. Today, the stronghold still boasts a powder magazine and gun platform alongside some of the most panoramic views in the Caribbean.

The island’s distinct culture also shines through in its cuisine, which includes conch fritters and cornmeal fungi, a dish similar to polenta. You can sample local flavors at St. John’s Saturday-morning market, which bustles with vendors selling pineapple, breadfruit, and tamarind. Next door, a smaller market showcases crafts, jewelry, and parrots selling the season’s hottest feather extensions.

Very disappointing Rusty water in the faucets Air conditioning that didn't cool Doors wouldn't lock Paint peeling at poolside and sticking to our skin Obnoxious guests blaring offensive, foul music in the common area with kids present, and the staff just smiled The list goes on

Could not follow through on appointments at the spa so us newly weds missed out on a couples massage during our honeymoon. Also, it's pretty run down and needs some major updating! The beach is absolutely beautiful though the vendors are a pain!
