Jolly Beach Antigua - All Inclusive

Beach was spectacular. Not too many people. Seems a gopod time of year for a vist. Nothing was overcrowded. Very quiet. Mainly middle-age and elderly coulples. This might not be the case in high season.

Beware! Take an abundant amount of mosquito repellant as these are quite 'savage' everywher - in bedrooms as well!

The staff was friendly and the meals were good and we were safe at the beach.

Entertainment should be more organized . Guest on arrival should be made aware of the days, locaton and times of live entertainment at the hotel.

This hotel was by far the most wonderful place we stayed at during our entire Caribbean trip. It has an absolutely stunning white-sand beach stretching for several kilometers. The hotel provides plenty of comfortable sun loungers, shaded beach huts, and beach towels, so everything you need for a relaxing day by the sea is right there. The beach is simply breathtaking, with pristine white sand and crystal-clear, gem-like water that changes into different shades of blue. The water was incredibly clean and pure, making the whole setting feel like a true Caribbean paradise. The hotel has three restaurants. The buffet at the PALM Restaurant was quite good, with a nice variety of food. The GRILL BAR requires a reservation, which was never mentioned or explained to us in advance. We only found out when we arrived at the restaurant, which left us a little confused at the time. That said, this minor inconvenience did not affect our overall experience at all. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the beautiful surroundings, excellent facilities, and friendly, attentive service made this hotel the highlight of our Caribbean journey.

THE TAXI IS TOO EXPENSIVE WHILE COMPARE BETWEEN US DOLLARS AND EC DOLLARS,FOR EXAMPLE , FROM HOTEL TO AIRPORT ,IN USD40 BUT IN EC 140 , ABSOLUTRLUY MUCH OVER THE OFFICIAL EXCHANGE RATE

Beautiful beach

Outdated

Nothing I didn't receive what I paid for

There was nothing to like

Facilities needs upgrade

The restaurant staff was friendly!

Very good.

The food, the drinks, the pool bar, the beach, the views (sleeping Indian), barkeeper Jay!

The WiFi was deplorable, pool bar closes way too early.

La plage - l'emplacement pour les bus - les buffets

Certains équipements parfois défectueux (robinet, matelas un peu creux) dans la chambre - une personne de l'accueil pas toujours souriante.

The food was great, if a bit repetitive

Numerous issues with the resort

The food was excellent, if a little redundant

For an all inclusive, food was not available at all times, there were times in between where, if we were hungry, we just had to suck it up untill the restaurants opened. Also, for our 7 night stay, we were without power for more than 12 hours, combined, and we are still trying to sort out some sort of rebate because of no air-conditioning in our room, being unable to use the pool having to eat in darkness etc!

Staff very pleasant good location clean

Needs an upgrade do something about the birds

Шикарный тихий тёплый пляж. Достаточно шезлонгов, пляжные полотенца выдают. В номере есть сейф, кондиционер, вентилятор, фен, москитные сетки, но москитов много и они прорываются, влажность и сырость высокие. Берите с собой фумигатор, нас закусали. Нам сделали бесплатное повышение номера - побольше кровать, спасибо. Вообще номер и здание устарели, но все изъяны были заделаны-замазаны. Еда и напитки - всё включено, выбор конечно слабоват, но присутствует. Сам не можешь наливать пиво, вино и прочий алкоголь, поэтому есть очереди. Могут наливать в ваши кружки. Персонал разный: кто-то просто бездельничает, кто-то работает. Существенный недостаток - залог 200 USD, который списывается с вашей банковской карты и возвращается через месяц, а также дополнительно они переписывают реквизиты банковской карты и легко могут потом снять любую сумму. Считаю это абсолютно лишним, тем более что оплата за проживание проведена заранее, а на рецепшн дополнительно проведена доплата налогов. Так ещё сверху залог и реквизиты карты, слишком дорого выходит проживание.

Москиты, залог.

Nothing it was so bad we had to leave tge resort within half hour of arriving they deductedan additional usd$200 fpr security deposot amd we did not even stay. I wish to have a full refund.

The place was discusting rotten room water leaking from the light fittings tiny bed for 2 people. The place was dirty the food at the grill was old slimy chicken that had been out all day.

Location is really amazing. Stunning beach and not very busy. - We went April. Food choices at the Palms Buffet was great at each meal. Our room was a generous size wth a great view - we chose king size with a sea view. Staff in Long bar were excellent

Towels and room service are only once a week. Only other place to have evening meal you had to book for and guests were queueing before 7am to book! Decor a bit tired especially in common areas and bathrooms. Wine warm. Gym very poor facilities.

The staff is awesome and the is delicious.

Nothing. I love the property. It’s awesome!!!

beach was good. breakfast was limited dinner was fair.

staff showed indifference to me as a jamaican. only felt welcomed from the jamaican staff.

Nothing..

The location was amazing, the staff were amazing, the drinks were good

The floor in our room wasnt very cleanand the food was ok.. However, I would absolutely go back and stay again.

The beach was definitely fun

The lack of food options

Amazing location , stunning beach , lovely pool area, fun and friendly staff .

Entertainment was not great . Food was okay

Nothing

Everything,the staff,the facilities,the service

Not much. The beach is nice.

Very dated, poorly maintained, well past its prime. Food was poor. Opted to eat outside of hotel. For room itself, broken safe, broken toilet seat, sand in bed on arrival and a/c unit over one of our beds spewed debris onto bed throughout night.

The pool n the food

Game room needs more things n so does the gym

The beach was definitely one of the highlights of the stay...beautiful, with long stretches of white sand and clear turquoise water. When I visited, finding a lounger could take a bit of time depending on how early you went out, but it never took too long to find a free one. Breakfast was good overall, with a nice mix of options like fresh fruit, pastries, and hot dishes. There was also an omelette station, which was a nice touch. It wasn’t anything extraordinary, but there was enough variety that you’d be hard pushed not to find something you liked. Dinner offered a decent variety as well. There were some staple options available across meals, and while some dishes were just okay, there were definitely moments where certain dishes really stood out and were genuinely very good.

The main issue for me was the condition of the room. It felt quite dated and not particularly clean, with noticeable stains on the curtains and bed linen. The bathroom light also wasn’t working, and overall the room felt quite dark and a bit dingy. There were also a lot of mosquitoes, which was probably the biggest frustration during the stay. It was especially noticeable at the beginning, and while you do get a bit more used to it over time, it’s definitely something to be aware of. Keeping the fan on in the room seemed to help a bit. In terms of service, it was a bit inconsistent. Some staff—particularly at the bar—were really friendly and welcoming, but interactions at reception could feel less warm at times and a bit abrupt depending on who you spoke to.

We love the location. The staff is fine. Some of the staff are very good - the lady in the restaurant (sorry I should know her name!) is really someone special. We really enjoyed the atmosphere. The beach and the amenities (simple tiki hut shade structures) are perfect.

The music at the main pool. We think it didn't fit the clientele. Noticed that other thought the same. Maybe don't try to be the hippest, be more laid-back. Also, the sound system really lacked... it wouldn't take much to improve the audio quality at the pool bar. A good example is Sandra's right next door...high quality sound and reggae music. I'm not saying it has to be reggae music all the time - but most of us are looking to get away from the typical obnoxious noise of our everyday lives. Reggae, blues, roots based music does the trick.

The beach! Fantastic. The sea was soooo blue. The hotel itself is a bit dated and tired but it does the job for what we needed and as long as you are not expecting a 5 star experience in a 3 star hotel it works perfectly well. The bed we had was comfortable. We had a sea view balcony which was really lovely. There was entertainment at one of the bars 6/7 nights, which was a bit noisy sometimes but not a problem. We enjoyed the entertainment a couple of nights, especially sitting at the long bar with the friendliest of the bar staff. The other nights were not so much our cup of tea. We don't usually go for hotel entertainment but actually quite enjoyed it. The buffet food was ok, some good choices each day, we preferred it to the Italian restaurant (dinner) that you had to book to go to - as there was more choice. Breakfast was good, with fresh eggs cooked for you.

There was quite a bit of queueing - for the bar / drinks and for food sometimes. The bars seemed to need to have more staff. Some of the staff were smiley and seemed happy to be there but, unfortunately, quite a lot of the staff especially in the bars and restaurants seemed quite miserable. If you want to eat at the pizza restaurant you have to get up at 7:30 to get in the queue - it wasn't worth it in our opinion. We went once. Check in and check out were vey slow - again not enough staff at the critical times.

The location was ideal on Dickenson Bay Beach which was spectacular. As there were mainly adults present on Easter Weekend , it was very relaxing and quiet but came alive at night at the Long Bar where entertainment was enjoyable. The laid back nature of the Resort was a plus. The quality of food and drinks was fine but not great and you get what you pay for. The breakfast buffet was second to none. Eyshanna at the Reception was outstanding. Kudos to her for facilitating to our needs. The Italian restaurant was quite good.

Some dishes at the lunch and dinner buffet were not replenished if you didn’t reach early enough so get there very early!! There were very long lines at the Coconut Grill and its bar for food and drinks during their opening hours for lunch. It never shortened. The Coconut Grill is very popular for the beachgoers and the pool bathers. The service was very slow at the Grill and the bars. Additional staff is recommended. A hotel employee entered our room and removed the telephone without being asked to do so. A report was made and a telephone was installed. The A/C was leaking and it was resolved after a report was made. Our room was just above the Italian restaurant so it was quite noisy throughout the day . Guests placed their towels on the beach chairs very early in the morning to “reserve” the chairs, although many actually got there in the late morning. This is a terrible practice. The hotel in general is quite dated . The rooms and bathroom are quite small and an upgrade would not go amiss.

The property is clean beds are comfortable and its sitting on the most beautiful beach. The buffet restaurant always had something we could enjoy for our breakfast and dinner, the beach grill was busy but offered a good choice for lunch. The long bar is great, good to meet people and chat, and the staff are incredibly hard working and make the best cocktails

Some areas need a little TLC, but nothing worried us. The booking system for the pizza restaurant was not good, having to wait in a queue for a 7.30 List: there must be a better way of getting a table.

Really friendly staff. All meals were varied and excellent quality. The resort was kept spotlessly clean and the gardens well cared for. The beach was beautiful with well spaced out umbrellas & beds. It was great to have 2 pool areas as the quiet pool suited us.

The meals were good always had an option for everyone who was there. The beach was good. The facilities were also good. The staff was exceptional always welcoming and helpful. Especially the bar staff. 10/10

I cannot say there was anything about Jolly Beach Antigua that I did not like.

The beach was beautiful. No seaweed or rocks. The beds were very comfortable. The room got chilly at times and I couldn’t adjust the temperature. The food was very good with lots of options. Didn’t like how the bathroom floor got very wet after a shower. Very annoying.

Not able to turn the AC down and my bathroom floor got extremely wet after a shower. Otherwise, had a great stay for the price.

Excellent location, the best beach on the island!

Loss of electricity for entire day and night

On beach! Great swimming pools; food really good.

Rooms and access to rooms seen better days but this is reflected in price. Sunbeds bit dodgy but 3 star hotel so expected. Reception very disorganised, needs a rethink! I hate having to scan QR code!

Location great People very friendly

Power outages

Nearness to the beach

The internet in the room was intermittent and the staff didn’t seem to care

Zimmer: Sanitäranlagen katastrophal. TV sehr schlechten Empfang. Strand sehr schön. Essen ausreichend. Alles in allem das Hotel ist in den Jahre gekommen, komplett Renovierung von Nöten ‼️

I liked that the property was close to the beach

No proper shower head, very small bathroom. It looks like something from the 1970’s

Beach was amazing

Security was great

I liked the beach. The bed was comfortable. The food was good for the most part. Some staff were friendly. Head of security, Terence was great and vey hospitable.

The hotel manager Terence and his assistant should not be employed by the hotel as they have no people skills and are despicable. I was injured badly at the hotel. l. The manager did nothing that he said he would. Neither did his assistant

La posizione

Il personale è la struttura in generale poco curata

Check in was easy. Room was clean very close to beach and beds were comfortable. Be sure to bring your own water bottle. Grocery store is very close if need to get something.

I did not like that the air conditioning worked for about 12 hours in 5 days. When you shower the water does not stay in shower you have a flooded bathroom. The toilet seat was so cheap and didn't fit the toilet. Our bathroom door was broken. You are not provided water bottles-Be sure to bring your own

Not a fan of the buffet. pool and beach were great. Drinks so so.Service was minimal Staff not that friendly Place was run down. Rooms and TV along with wifi were sub par.

The hotel is perfectly located practically on the beach. Peaceful with a nice long stretch of sand making a leisurely walk a worthwhile activity. The food options at the hotel were excellent with lots to choose from. Also, the meals were tasty, especially the succulent BBQ ribs on Christmas night ~wow!!! The entertainment was nice, especially the live steelpan music whilst having breakfast on Christmas morning was lovely. Additionally, on Christmas night the DJ was fantastic ~we danced a lot!!!

There is no WIFI in the room. This was a great inconvenience for us. It seems like the wifi was only strong in the lobby area. It was difficult to get any signal in the restaurant and bar areas. Also, check in was slow with scanning of QR code and filling in details using personal mobile phone on arrival. That was a turn off. Room was not ready on time either. Had to wait too long. On arrival at the room, at least a bottle of water in the fridge would have been nice. The fridge was empty, considering it was an All Inclusive hotel. We had to buy bottle water at the nearby shop on the beach. Another thing that made my stay uncomfortable was the air conditioned unit that was directly over the bed which I found annoying as it dripped water on head and kept disturbing my sleep.

Beach & pool stunning.

All the food was great - traditional but catered for others, the location made the resort - right on the sea and the staff were so lovely

a few repairs needed here and there

The beach

Room above kitchen, banging all day and night. Bathroom drain did not work, called 4 times before fixed. Food not good.

Lage in Strandnähe

Essen zu wenig schrecklich angerichtet

Great location, fabulous clean soft white sand beach. Waves were perfect. Very relaxing all inclusive holiday. Felt safe for a solo stay. Unbelievable acqua sea views and sunsets. A ray surfaced near me!

Freshly made omelettes on request

Nothing

You can’t beat the beachfront location it’s gorgeous. Pools are also beautiful. Staff was nice - Judith, Kiara and Jahquan all lovely.

Housekeeping does not come at all. We asked for towels and never got them. Our room flooded due to heavy rain and we couldn’t get any towels to clean up. Food was a major let down. I don’t mind a buffet for breakfast and lunch but it was very disappointing to not have more nicer options for dinners. We wound up going into the Marina one night for dinner just to get a good meal. Rooms are OLD. I don’t usually mind but they were really dirty and small. This is such a beautiful property and location but desperately needs to get better food options and a major update to rooms.

The location, the staff and the beach were great.

The rooms and hotel are so dated. The food in the buffet for lunch and dinner were horrible. No variety and what they had was terrible. Even the desserts were bad. The icing on the cake was no hot water on our last day!

La posizione

Tutto a partire dallo staff molto scortese e poco collaborativo… le camere vecchie e sporche, tutto decadente… cibo da mensa… non ci ritornerei

Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Excellent beach, breakfast and dinner. Over enjoyed my stay at Jolly Beach Hotel.

Reception terrible. Didn’t seem to have a clue

Beach and pool had plenty of chairs available

Food was terrible Room smelled awful and was just dirty and outdated Overall, terrible resort. You get what you pay for, but this was even less.

The drinks and the breakfast

Had too walk far too get too my room

The beaches on this property are amazing, such fantastic views. The food was actually very good and the staff were relatively nice and helpful.

The WiFi was out for our entire stay, you could not get any WiFi in the rooms and you had to come down to the lobby to use their WiFi which was also down majority of the time. Made it very difficult to plan rides, contact anyone. It was like staying on a secluded island instead of an all-inclusive.

La location ottima.

Il buffet troppo ripetitivo, poca scelta frutta e verdura, qualità un po’ scarsa. Staff molto gentile per quanto puoi trovare anche molto arrogante.

Beautiful beach, great location.

Rooms were outdated.

The location is fantastic - such a beautiful beach. The resort was very nice; grounds and pools were beautiful and well-maintained. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable and the shower had great pressure! We were very happy to be given adjoining rooms, as requested. The food choices were well prepared and varied. The New Years Eve festivities were fun - the music was great. All the staff were friendly, patient, and accommodating.

The internet service in our rooms was not good - sometimes we couldn't connect at all, which was frustrating. It would have been nice if the resort offered some activities (ie: trivia night or beach volleyball, etc).

Not much - the beach

The front desk staff was rude, the place was run down, the elite island non-profit support via silent auction is purely a scam.

The buffet was great, the entertainment, and the grill. I loved the beach and the water attractions.

The bathroom smelled funny. The shower kept leaking so water was always on the floor. It felt disgusting.

The beach and pool facilities are amazing. Fresh cold drinking water is available everywhere and staff are pretty friendly and helpful

Rooms are pretty basic and the food isn’t great. The Italian restaurant which you have to book is not worth it. Food was terrible and service was so slow.

Reichhaltiges Buffet, gute Cocktails, eigener Strand mit wunderbaren Sonnenuntergänge , Autovermietung von Jah-T direkt im Hotel, super freundlich, hilfsbereit mit guten Preisen

Duschköpfe konnten nicht angepasst werden, war kein weicher Strahl Im Gang war eine Klimaanlage, die permanent mein Zimmer gekühlt hat , war etwas zu frisch in der Nacht. Manche Mitarbeiterinnen haben den Andrang zur Weihnachtszeit nicht so gut verkraftet und könnten etwas an ihrer Freundlichkeit arbeiten inkl. der Dame für Sightseeing Touren

The wide range of choices of restaurants, the food was exceptional, and the variety was impressive. The facility had a wide range of choices for different types of individuals, and the staff was so welcoming. The waitresses in the buffet restaurant were the greatest.

The only thing our air conditioning unit was leaking lots of water. We reported at the front desk, but no one came; however, we did not make it an issue. We had a tremendous time.

Tout

Le matelas un peu dur

Beach is absolutely beautiful. Bartenders June,Alliya , and Sill were awesome. So fun to interact with them.

Everyone thinks the rooms are small which they are but me and my family just showered and slept in them so we didn’t mind.

Loved it

Food

Emplacement Idéal avant de prendre notre catamaran pour le tour d’Antigua et Barbuda

L'hôtel est magnifiquement situé au bord d'une plage superbe et les extérieurs sont très bien aménagés et entretenus.

Le personnel n'est pas toujours très souriant ni très aimable. Nourriture variée mais de qualité moyenne.
