Jolly Beach Resort - Antigua
 
How would you rate the rooms?

We were there in 1996 when it was Club Antigua - met some great people and had a wonderful time but hated the room. We had the air conditioned (which broke one day in) standard room and the bathroom was an absolute hole! The grottiest bathroom we've ever had - made dark and dingy look good! Only reason we didn't bother with changing (and there were no other rooms supposedly) is that we were only a few feet from the beach (at the north end near the great beach bar/local snack food). <BR>Maybe someone can comment on the higher rated rooms but don't bother with the low end rooms.

Go to : http://www.geographia.com/guestbook/antigua/<BR><BR>They have lots of reviews from people who have been since the resort was redone/changed hands. Most are very favourable, and I know I've seen good reviews of the rooms.<BR><BR>Andrea

Don't get the supersaver it's really small. We did the full regular bedroom which had 2 full size beds and lots of drawer space and a vanity. We were in the St. John's bldg right on the beach next to the pool. Mini refrigerator along with Tv, clock radio, safe. <BR><BR>A very nice 3 1/2 star hotel.

STayed at Jolly Beach for a week in November.We had a wonderful time. Although not a five star, it was a very good value for the money. Very clean, beautiful pool, good food, although service was sometimes difficult. But on the whole, I would go there again. Our trip was capped by taking one of Eli Fuller's day tours - this is a must if you want to savor the full flavor and ecology of a this most beautiful island in the sun.
