Had a great week long trip there, friendly staff, lovely beach, good food in and outside resort. Only big disappointment was the lack of seafood to choose from being the place is and island. All in all it's a good place to relax, sun bathe, swim, drink, laugh and meet other vacationers getting away from their everyday stress. More

We went to Jolly Beach to present at a conference, but took some extra days to vacation and see the island. The hallmark of this hotel is the cheerful friendliness of the hotel staff, and their anxiousness to make sure your every need is met. This trait is typical of everyone, from the buffet staff who fill your water glass,... More

My husband & I stayed Easter week, I will start off by saying that we are easy going people with an open mind & we did read the reviews before booking so we thought we had an idea of what to expect. Checking was slow & the room was not ready so we were told to go have lunch, We... More

My boyfriend and I recently stayed at jolly beach. We travel quite regularly to the carribean and found that this resort is one of the better 3.5 stars that we've stayed in. We would definatly recommend this resort for the amazing beach, great location and friendly staff(especially Gavin, Alvin and Roxane!!). It was also very safe to go off the... More

Jolly Beach Resort has one of the most amazing beaches in Antigua. The ocean water is a beautiful turquoise in color, exceptionally calm and amazingly warm and without a stone to be found anywhere on the beach or in the water!! There are two pools, one on the quieter side of the resort, both of which are just average. The... More

Came back from the Jolly Beach resort yesterday very disappointed with the overall experience. We stayed in the regular room, not the Superior. Our room did not have a dresser, in the bathroom there was no shelfs, and in the shower - a flimsy curtain and no room to put the soap and shampoo. I did not like the bed... More

This resorted was very dated. When we arrived to our room the a.c. was making an extremely loud noise and our sink, toilet and tub were clogged. It took two phone calls and a several hour wait to get the bathroom issues resolved. We didn't complain about the a.c until the following day. After 3 calls and waiting a long... More

Dear Kris, Thank you for taking the time to write a detailed review of your stay.
