“Outstanding comfort and value”
Dickinson Bay Cottages is a very comfortable set of nicely landscaped cottages around a pool on a hillside about a 10 minute walk above Dickinson Bay. The cottages include a patio, a large living area with kitchen along one wall, and a very sizable loft bedroom. They include a/c and ceiling fans; are exceptionally well-maintained. The proprietor is on the property daily and all staff are friendly and helpful. Dickinson Bay is the home of the Sandal's and two other resorts, but is a long stretch of beach and was not at all crowded, even on days that cruise ships were in docked in Antigua. The Bay has water sports rentals and is served by Catamarans island tours and snorkling, etc. For dining, the OPUS, a 3 minute walk from the cottages proved to be a real gem for a variety of food excellently prepared and served by a friendly staff. A trip to Shirley Heights for the Sunday afternoon-evening music is also a must. Overall, found the island friendly for a relaxing 10 days and the Cottages an exceptional value. Would definitely recommend them for those seeking a quite, relaxing setting, close to but removed from an active beach.
“Great Place”
The hotel was very nice the room was big. The hotel is only staffed during certain times which makes it difficult if you need something in the morning or in the evening. Most of the staff was friendly. The beach is right down the street like a 2 min walk. The rooms were very clean and kept up well.
“Great for 2 weeks if you don't like the restriction of hotel space”
Our third visit to Dickenson Bay. We normally stay bed only at a hotel as I don't cook on holiday, but to have the cottage for 2 weeks was great to have fresh coffee, toast for breakfast. We then had the freedom of trying all the restaurants for lunch and dinner at the various beaches and in St. Johns was fantastic. Would stay at the cottages again.
“Very nice and quiet, but close enough for excitement if you like.”
Very nice accommodations, enjoyed our stay, would go back in a flash.
“Holiday in Antigua”
The accommodation was great, except for the insect bites when we ventured outside in the evening!!
“New regulars”
Saff were really friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely stay there again and would certainly recommend to family and friends.
“Satisfied”
Great place, great location
“First time in Antigua”
We chose Dickenson Bay Cottages because we didn't want an all-inclusive hotel deal, preferring to choose where to eat and drink as we travelled around the island. The 'cottages' are fine (if a little tired around the edges) - but don't expect a thatched roof and picket fence here. Staff were all relaxed, friendly and sorted cars etc. We have previously been to Barbados a couple of times but hadn't been to Antigua before. Generally I'd say that Barbados is more developed as a destination (which is probably a mix of good and not so good), and the people a bit smilier and the public transport a lot better, but we'd go back to Antigua - it's a fascinating mix with some great beaches and a lot of pride and potential.
“Tremendous Value Hotel from an experienced budget traveler”
I;ve visited 88 countries in the world. This hotel is one of the best values I have ever experienced. I would not hesitate to return. The ONLY trouble was the half mile walk down a steep hill to the beach. Otherwise it was terrific.
“Great service”
We only spent one night here en route from Dominica to Canada. We arrived late but check in was extremely quick. The apartment was clean and comfortable and the pool was very refreshing. We ordered a taxi for 3.45 a.m. the next morning for a 5.00 a.m. flight but when it failed to arrive the manager willingly drove us to the airport in his own car - impressive service!
