Jolly Beach Antigua - All Inclusive

Older property with very poor internet outside the lobby. Rooms very dated. My friend had $500 US stolen from his room and security had the nerve to say he lost it. Price is way to much for this type of 2 star resort. For the record this is the first time i have every left a negative review and i am i platinum member with *******.

Do not waste your money on this resort. It’s half closed , no restaurants, most bars are closed and offer no entertainment. Had no working tv for 2 days, had ti walk threw puddles on the grounds and walk ways to get to my room. AVOID AT ALL COST Staff was very rude ans not helpful at all . Even the excursions we booked threw the resort didn’t show up to pick us up and they wouldn’t help in any way. No refunds were given after we asked for no services rendered

I’ve stayed in this resort before and have positive review. This stay was different. Lots of negative changes been implemented. They no longer clean the rooms unless you pay extra and request cleaning 24 hours in advance. Restaurant choice has gone from poor to non existent. There’s only buffet and pizza place, for later you’d need to make a reservation. The bathroom didn’t have a proper door, it was kind of swinging like a barn door. The property is ran down and in need of repair. That said , if you’re on a budget and want to enjoy a beautiful beach for a few days, go for it.

The staff were all friendly and great for the tour desk to waitstaff to bartenders. Of course we had our faves, (Glendale and Karlos), mostly at the long bar. Where we also enjoyed our evening entertainment, including g the superbowl. The beach is great and a long stretch just within the resort, tons of sturdy wooden umbrellas and no shortage of chairs here or at either pool. Pools were clean just needing maintenance for appearance. The food was def adequate, plenty to offer for different diets. The coffee was delicious, as were the desserts. The room, well, it’s different. But what it had was a decent closet with hangers, other cubbies and mirror, ceiling fan, several lights, safe, patio for drying suits with chairs, etc. we had high water pressure and hot water daily, and received fresh towels as requested. The front door stuck, the patio door lock was a nail in a hole, the a/c did not work well, until the last day they fixed it, so the room felt a little damp. The shower is small, and no exhaust fan in bathroom. It is old, but I think the cost represents this for the Caribbean. The bars have cold water available and the coffee bar which is self serve but my suggestion would be to offer a beverage upon arrival or have the water at front desk. We had a full day of travel and were very parched and hungry. We had to wait 1 hour for food. Nothing is 24/7. All in all very enjoyable, but we did leave the resort every other day for 6 nights.

We had an amazing time at the resort. The staff are extremely friendly and made our stay a memorable one. We stayed in a supersaver room which was comfortable/functional despite being small and dated. Overall food was good with variety. The location is ideal to popular sites including Shirley Heights and Stingrays City with a supermarket within walking distance. We will definitely visit again.

Best beach on the island. All staff were amazing. Food was excellent. Older resort but room was clean and we were only in room to shower and sleep. It rained one entire day but staff did their best to not let that spoil everyone’s trip.

We loved the beach, and the food was amazing. The rooms were definitely in need of some super updating and care. The AC units needs replaced completely, but luke i said thw food and staff were great.

Jolly Beach Resort is a project in the works, but for the price and location, it cannot be beat. Staff, overall were friendly, a few could use an attitude adjus**ent. The room was perfect for our needs, we didn't expect anything fancy and things like WiFi and outlets are often limited at original Caribbean beach-like destinations. Food was not anything extraordinary, but there were many options to choose from and no reason for one to go hungry. The location was beautiful and overall the grounds were well kept. I would recommend Jolly Beach to anyone wanting a nice, but simple stay on a beautiful beach. Thank you to the staff for an enjoyable stay!!!

Just don’t. Pay more and go somewhere else. We just returned from a weeklong stay & I find it very difficult to share anything positive except the stretch of beach in front of the property - it was absolutely beautiful. The hotel needs a massive renovation. The staff needs to be trained on Customer service. No upkeep of the grounds. Our bathroom did not even have a door instead an old shower curtain. The property honestly should be a reflected as a two star property. So disappointing. The pics in the advertisements do not reflect what you will see. Too much to list. We spent most of our time away from resort because it was so dismal & the majority of staff was one star.
