My friend Kara and I found this place and booked it 3 months in advance. We asked for two large beds and we got them. James was very sweet and professional. He gave us our keys to 401 B. It was very modern clean and comfortable. All the restaurants in Jolly Harbour are very good. Al Porto’s was our favorite. The staff were very friendly. Some of the best dining we tried on the whole island. The beach was stunning and castaways was a fun place for drinks and good food. There was also a sweet private beach good for quiet time and a swim. We both can’t wait to return. And Jolly Harbour is where we will stay. It’s also a 5 min drive from 4-6 other stunning beaches with tons of great restaurants and bars. Loved Antigua!!!

We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit. very well stocked with linens, towels, beach chairs, Internet, kitchen items including coffee filters! What they didn’t have we were able to get at the epicurean market that was walking distance away! 5 minutes walk from the beach and Castaways restaurant. 10 min walk from the marina, and all of the restaurants by the marina. A great price for our stay!

The unit was not a 2 bed, 2 bath apartment. One shower and 2 toilets is not a 2 bedroom unit. The unit needs some major renovations! Cockroaches in the bathroom. Rental management company mediocre. Romeo was the only one that worked and had a customer service focus.

Very nice area. Beach and environment are excellent. Villa (237C) is in very poor condition needs a lot of upgrades. No wi-fi. Beds are not comfortable, doors have broken hinges, main door dead-bolt is broken, etc, etc. The location is A+ so that all makes the difference. We did not care the problem of the villa, we were out at the beach and restaurants all the time.

My experience was very good. I just wanted a place to lay my head because I had family taking me out everyday. What I did not expect was for everything I needed to be within foot steps away. Some days I did stay or the property just because there was so much to enjoy and do. I will book here again.

Staff was great, answered all questions and timely. Most of the Villas are dated and you may need to self-clean bathrooms on arrival depending on standards, but you want to spend your time at the beach and the pool anyway. Food is great, but remember this is a resort area and have the mindset to spend $75 a meal for 2 people with a drink. Get the golf cart for $20/day -- it's fun and well worth it getting around.

I went to Antigua in search of an investment property that I could also use as a vacation home. Jolly Harbour looked excellent. It is comprised of two "fingers" of villas, which Americans would call townhouses. One finger is in the north of the harbour and the other finger is in the south of the harbour. South finger villas are within walking distance of Jolly Beach and South Beach, which are very nice...beautiful water and sand. They are also within walking distance of about 6 restaurants, pool, tennis court, well-stocked grocery store, bank, car/golf cart rentals, and excursion agents. I not only stayed in a villa on the south finger but I visited several on both fingers with my real estate agent. What I found is that the villas vary tremendously from one another in terms of updating and cleanliness. Each villa is individually owned. HBK Villas appears to be the main booking agents, but there are several real estate agents in Jolly Harbour and they often act as booking agents for their clients. My particular villa was disappointing because it was not clean, was not updated, and lacked internet and a phone. It was central, however, as I mentioned. The Jolly Harbour Marina also appears to be in disrepair and a bit neglected. Landscaping is a bit shoddy, there is a grand old casino that sits prominently in the marina but has been closed for many years and is now an eye-sore, and the board walks are dilapidated. Recommendation: Ask for photos of your unit first.

Excellent self catering waterside villa, easy walking distance to bars and restaurants.

Close to the beach although the beach could have been cleaner. Sadly, cigarette ends, empty bottles and bonfire ashes spoiled the overall effect. The sea however was beautiful. The accommodation had a number of teething issues which involved chasing the staff until they were addressed. The village facilities were good with a good choice of eateries, a pharmacy and a decent supermarket. I believe the villas do vary somewhat and are spread around the development, so the standard of furnishings and fixtures is variable too as is proximity to the facilities on site. It's a decent location on the island and we would go back again.

Jolly Harbour,what a great place.

Everything was too far from the beach restaurant and bar was closed for the season. The only restaurant close enough to us offered a poor choice of meals. I expected local food flavors and seafood. Which was not available.

We loved the area and the ability to have a 2 bedroom condo at the same price as a regular hotel room. The couch in our unit was filthy. We could not even sit on it. The remainder of the unit was very clean.

Secluded, good for quit retrieve. The place is safe and I felt very comfortable. It is bit far away so you would need to rent a car to get around.

The resort has everything you might need. In addition to the actual unit you stay in there is a swimming pool, tennis courts, a supermarket, several retail stores, and at least two excellent restaurants. A fabulous beach with restaurant and bar serving great food and better drinks, are close by; within walking distance if you get the right rental unit. Beach chairs were free and umbrellas were $5-10, depending on who you rented from. It was a bit of a hassel to get a parking pass but everyone is friendly and helpful. We had a few problems with the safe and a sliding patio door but the response was immediate and the 'fixes' were efficiently accomplished. I would stay there again in a heartbeat! The unit, which faced a canal with and ocean view, was two floors with a patio downstairs and a balcony upstairs. There were two bedrooms and two and a half baths. The kitchen had the basics - sufficient for our needs. It had air conditioning, a TV downstairs (but not in either bedroom), and a pull-out in the living room. We were able to park our rented car in the tiny driveway but golf carst are available for use on property. My husband had a great experience with Jolly Harbour Dives located on property.

Beautiful location - villa basic but clean - water always hot - well equipped complex - feels safe

Had a great little villa with lovely decking in a great location. Close to beach, supermarket, restaurants and starfish coffee house! Had a lovely stay, great value for money.
