One of our favourites on Antigua is Carlisle Bay, which Christian recently visited. This all-suite hotel located in an exotic position on the south coast in a tranquil azure bay with a backdrop of rolling hills makes this an ideal Caribbean hideaway. Attentive service, wonderful food and contemporary minimalism will ‘blow you away'.

The recreational facilities are second to none with pool, tennis courts, gymnasium and a PADI dive facility after which you could head to the Blue Spa for a relaxing ‘couples’ massage. Where else could you visit the ‘screening room’ and see daily movies or spend a quiet moment in the library offering the latest reads.

OUR OPINION:

Be prepared to enjoy wonderful food as well as the most attentive service throughout the resort.
