Top Darkwood Beach Hotel Reviews

Cocobay Resort Antigua - All Inclusive - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"I love it there !!!"

COCOS Hotel - Adults Only - Caters to Couples - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at cocos. The staff could not be more helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. The aircon was very efficient !! The food was beyond our expectations. Everything was made fresh with plenty of choices and daily chefs specials - Healthy choices available . The daily fish suggestion was always good. The Bar staff are super freindly with fast service at all bar locations throughout the day and eve . The 2 beaches are equally stunning with roped off areas for safe swimming/floating . My one suggestion would be to update the beach umbrellas. They are simply not big enough and give almost no shade in the afternoon as they are fixed into the ground. It was truly a beautiful and peaceful resort for couples and we would not hesitate to return. Antigua is a beautiful island with wonderful people. I look forward to returning."

Jolly Beach Antigua - All-inclusive

8/10 Good

"Overall experience was good for the cost."

Conch Beach Cabins - Rumbus Beach

8/10 Good

"This is a cute little place right on the beach so it’s great to just go snorkeling straight from your little cabin. The staff was great, especially Ebony the manager. The food was good and the Chef Elke was a sweetheart. Very kickback and relaxing and low-key is how Will describe this property. We had a really wonderful time."

The Apartments at Jolly Castle

8/10 Good

"Apartment is decently well stocked and the staff responded well to What's App requests. They clean your room about every two days. There are strong frog and insect sounds outside the lower rooms at night, and sometimes loud music across the street, but it ends by 11pm. The area is being renovated so the restaurant options are limited. There is a grocery close but it is EXPENSIVE. There is construction going on so trucks are driving past. The A/C works well. The oven and stove are LP gas"
