Hermitage Bay

This is an absolutely luxurious place to stay. The attentive staff ensures a peaceful and comfortable experience. The rooms are adorned with fresh flowers, a welcome fruit plate, and prosecco. Airport pick-up service. Live music is played at the beach club and in the evening at the bar. The beach is gorgeous, with a sandy shore and a few spots of cute shells. The food in all the restaurants is delicious.

Our stay at Hermitage Bay was absolutely exceptional. The staff were beyond amazing—attentive, kind, and truly made us feel at home. The food was fresh and farm-to-table, with standout dishes like the marinated sweet peppers, and fresh sushi offered daily. We also loved the beautiful atmosphere created by the staff singing—such a memorable touch. We experienced both a hillside suite and a garden view room—both beautiful, though we would choose the hillside suite for the entire stay next time for the views and privacy. The drinks were fantastic, the spa services were top notch with incredible massages, and the romantic touches like outdoor showers and large soaking tubs made it extra special. Transportation to and from the airport, as well as into town, was seamless and convenient. The biggest compliment we can give—before we even left, we were already booking our return trip. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, luxurious escape.

I felt like I just didn’t get Hermitage Bay. The hotel team are wonderful and the public areas are beautifully laid out but our room was underwhelming and very strange. The floors now have a natural coir style carpet running through the living area, bedroom and into the whole bathroom. This was badly marked in the lounge area and the bathroom. The strangest thing is the bathroom being open plan to the bedroom/living area. There is no glass or dividing door separating the toilet from the bedroom. I am exceptionally comfortable around my husband but no one wants to be relaxing in the same room as someone using the toilet! Coordination is needed if you want any privacy. We were staying on a bed and breakfast basis and even after lovely long lunches (La Petite Maison was wonderful), cocktails, wine and dinner, we didn’t get anywhere close to the all inclusive rate so I’m surprised anyone would choose this as an option. We had a morning flight on our last day which meant leaving the hotel at 7am. We asked if we could pre-order a picnic breakfast, or have room service breakfast before we left, or pick up some fruit and pastries but were advised breakfast started at 7.30am with muffins and coffee at the bar area from 7am but nothing else could be done. All with a smile but no solution was offered. Maybe Hermitage Bay just wasn’t for us.

This was our first visit to Hermitage Bay, and it exceeded every expectation we had—and then some. From start to finish, everything felt effortless, personalized, and genuinely special. Airport Experience: The moment we landed, the resort’s priority security service made everything a breeze. We were out of the airport within minutes—no stress, no waiting—and into a luxurious vehicle straight to the resort. It set the tone for the entire trip. Check-In: Check-in was incredibly smooth. We simply signed a document and headed to lunch while our room was being prepared. Because I was celebrating my birthday, the team surprised us with an upgrade to a Hillside Ocean View Pool Villa—one of the best rooms on the property. The view, the privacy, and the pool… absolutely stunning. I couldn’t be more grateful. Food: Every meal—from breakfast to lunch to dinner—was delicious and beautifully presented. We loved learning that so much of the ingredients are grown right on the property. Some highlights for us were the sea bass, the burger, and the cheesecake (truly unforgettable). Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Activities: All non-motorized sports and activities were included, which was a huge plus. The staff handling the activities were incredibly patient, friendly, and accommodating. Hotel Staff: This is where Hermitage Bay shines the brightest. Every staff member we met was warm, genuine, and happy to connect. Many have been with the property for years, and it really shows in how they treat guests. A special thank-you to Kyle, Martine, Simone, Anthony, Koshane, and Solange—each of them went above and beyond and made our stay unforgettable. Overall: Hermitage Bay is an incredible resort that delivers luxury, peace, and heartfelt service in every detail. We truly loved our time here and would love to return next year—this time for a longer stay. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, intimate, and beautifully run Caribbean escape.

Hermitage Bay was a truly incredible experience that rewrote my idea of an all-inclusive. The food, the service, the ambiance… all phenomenal! A top-tier 10/10 experience. The beach is stunning and the vibes are unmatched. It’s somewhere I’ll return to again and again. :)

The accommodations, amenities and staff made our trip to Hermitage Bay so wonderful! The staff was exceptional and we loved how intimate it all was! We enjoyed a boat ride and lounging on the beach, the resort pool or just our private plunge pool! The weather was windy but there were places to escape to hide away from any sand or brief rain. I would say that if they could add additional rinsing areas from when you leave the beach, it would be helpful. I only saw one and it was at the entrance to the lobby/bar area. The daily sushi was such a treat and Jose made that a fun experience while the bartenders made wonderful cocktails! I’m still dreaming of the spicy passion fruit margarita! We stayed in a hillside suite and had a gorgeous view or the bay and sunset! The room had a spacious bathroom and expansive outdoor area with lots of lounging options. They took care of sticking to mini bar and house keeping was wonderful. The sinks did seem to leak slightly if you didn’t turn it just right and I wish there would have been a larger fan in the bathroom since the windows were only screened. The bed was comfortable and they offer additional pillow options and blankets. There was plenty of hanging space in the wardrobe section but i would have like doors or something to close them away. The food was plentiful and so fresh! We enjoyed the farm to table options and the fresh fish! We ordered room service for breakfast, lunch and dinner and it all arrived quickly and stayed warm. Our coffees and drinks were also so fresh! The entertainment while dining was also so good! Our last night had an amazing band and vocalist that we enjoyed while sipping drinks at the bar. We had visited Antigua before and were excited to return, and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay!!

Every moment at Hermitage Bay was incredible! From start to finish, staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Thanks to the entire team for looking after us so well. We’ll definitely be back ♥️

I stayed at Hermitage Bay for a week, and honestly, it was pure magic. The kind of place that makes you exhale the moment you arrive. Everything is so thoughtfully done. The staff is unbelievably kind, and they somehow remember your breakfast preferences after one day. Waking up to ginger shots and protein drinks became my favorite little ritual. The beach is stunning, the water looks unreal and the live music in the evenings feels straight out of a movie. Don't get me started about my suite with the most magical views and the outdoor shower of my dreams... If you want a place that feels like nature, luxury and calm all rolled together, Hermitage bay is it. I already miss it and I will most definetly return!
