Packed with tourists, no locals. Really loud music. Expensive low quality food served on paper plates: burger for $10, hot dog for $8. This was supposed to be the Antigua party, but it was only for tourists. LOts of people selling cheap plastic tat. Steel band was OK, then the reggae band turned out to be run by a middle... More

Went for the Sunday night party. The music was good and the location beautiful. The food and drink on offer was quite expensive and nothing special.

The food is fine - it's a big barbecue, so don't expect gourmet. But, for what it is, it's excellent. The view is difficult to beat, and the experience of the big party is one of the quintessential Antigua experiences. It's crowded though (on Sundays), so getting drinks can be a hassle. This is a must-do.

If you decide to take the excursion from the hotel that "includes the admission etc. to the heights" DON'T DO IT. The money you pay to get there and get through the door is all that you get. From there, you pay to get drinks (10 dollars per for lousy liquor and watered down mixed drinks). If you want to... More

Time constraints limited me to only a few minutes there and that was fine, but a little longer would have been good too.
