Jolly Beach Antigua - All-inclusive

Jolly Beach Antigua - All-inclusive

8/10 Good
"My husband & I travel quite often and we find this beach to be one of the most amazing beaches by far. The food is exceptional, although I was longing for some fried plantains, but that is minor. The rooms are clean but really does need upgrading, too outdated. I’d say 95% if the staff are quite pleasant and helpful. Greeting to Anaya, she’s one of the best and knows how to put a smile on someone’s face. I will recommend."

"We had the most unforgettable honeymoon at COCOS Hotel Antigua. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and treated like family. The breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea, the intimate adults-only atmosphere, and the charming private cottages made it feel like our own little slice of paradise. The staff went above and beyond to make every moment special. Their kindness, attention to detail, and friendly smiles made us feel truly cared for throughout our stay. The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh local flavors and incredible oceanfront dining that we looked forward to every day. Watching the sunset from our cottage, relaxing on the beautiful beaches, and simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings created memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime. COCOS Hotel gave us the perfect balance of romance, relaxation, and authentic Caribbean hospitality. If you’re looking for the ultimate honeymoon destination, we can’t recommend COCOS Hotel enough. Thank you to everyone who made our first trip as a married couple so magical! We’re already dreaming of coming back!"

"It was a great experience. The staff was very helpful In securing tours for our stay a helping with bags etc. The food was also delicious. A lot of great options to choose from. Live entertainment at dinner was also very nice as well. Definitely will stay again. The beach water was absolutely beautiful with great sunset views from our beach front. The private cabana was perfect to relax and watch the sunset. Also once tired with the beach the infinity pool was great. Walk with bug repellent as there are mosquitoes at night outside the rooms. Hotel provides repellent as well. This hotel gave off a romantic eco vibe that I will definitely try again."

"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."

"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"
