Stoped by via sailboat. Chef Fitzroy and his staff were welcoming and the food was delicious. We had a delightful lunch in a fine dining atmosphere with a beautiful view of the bay. We will be back to do it again.

Fabulous stay from the moment we put our cases down and our flip flops on . The hillside room was fantastic massive bed very exquisitely furnished. The plunge pool made it more spectacular with views to beach and beyond to Montserrat. Disappointed that the plunge pool switched off at certain times. It’s an expensive room not a great way to save pennies. The golf buggy to beach and breakfast was fun way to get around. The beach is beautiful and spoilt for choice for a sun bed ,Water warm and clear . No motorised watercraft so very serine. Staff all 5* Accommodation 5* Breakfast 5* It was going swimmingly until a vegetarian (me) arrived. Vegetarian Food I would rate 2* at best Very few options at lunch .Not one vegetarian sandwich . Only option to get club sandwich minus dead animal. Still charged full price. It was basically a mushroom and spinach sandwich. I tried the veggie burger but was awful. Best option was an omelette not reallly 5* Dinner was the most disappointing. I made it clear I was a vegetarian (Prior to arrival) I was still offered plates with fish on top and the vegetarian option was removing the fish from the dish. When I saw a vegetarian menu I was so happy. However a couple of days in and the food was dreadful. Cauliflower pasta was tasteless Potato gnocchi on mash potato was probably the worst dinner I had and I sent it back for an omelette The veggie patty was shaped mash potato with chips and lettuce. I covered it with ketchup as is had no flavour and was just mashed potatoes. I believe the chef is Italian so where were the 5*’ Italian foods on the menu? The main menu changes weekly but I think the vegetarian menu hasn’t changed since 2023 as a review from 2023 mention the cauliflower pasta. I did talk with the manager and I really hope the vegetarian menu will improve. It’s the only fault I had as over all its fabulous hotel and I would love to return. Perhaps I could see the improvements to the menu if any are made . I would genuinely be back before year end ,) Picture is my final night dinner … my friends can’t believe it’s from a boutique hotel more likely a cafe .)!

Stunning property! Would make a great honeymoon spot. Galleon beach had great snorkeling we saw lots of sea turtles. Its close to Nelsons dockyard which we spent an afternoon exploring and had snacks and drinks. The restaurants were great, excellent service and breakfast choices were full service. The rooms were cleaned up every day as if it was our first day there. Guest services helped with everything from taxis, to tours, to coordinating arrival and departure. We went to Shirley heights on Sunday which had great bbq and its very close to the resort which makes for a fun convenient Sunday night. We also did stingray city via taxi, so I found the location very favorable for what we wanted to do. Highly recommend staying here!

If you want a boutique experience in the Caribbean with everything imaginable steps from your door, without all of the chaos, and the best service ever- this is your spot. Too much to list but this place is pretty much understated , low key perfection.

3rd time lucky in Antigua…a lovely hotel at last… We first visited Antigua back in 2009 staying at a supposedly great hotel called Carlisle Bay… I don't know why they built a hotel next to a swamp however the mosquito problem was severe and the hotel was not much better. I would have reviewed it but our stay was in 2009 just before I started reviewing on TripAdvisor. The general manager was a nice guy, he just didn't seem very good at managing. On our next visit to Antigua we stayed at Jumby Bay where there were also problems… it was the general manager from Carlisle Bay running it by then. That was just a few years ago. We have never been back. This year we needed to book a hotel in Antigua for two separates stays, fairly close together, either side of our stay at the excellent Rosewood Hotel in nearby St Barts (which I have reviewed). Where to stay was the conundrum. Friends told us about The Inn at English Harbour. The TripAdvisor reviews looked positive… as a result my wife and I stayed there twice last month. The Hotel at English harbour is lovely. Having read about the (albeit small) accommodation which is right on the beach just yards from the sea, we made sure we experienced it for one night having seen all the recommendations on TripAdvisor. I know the hotel are trying to obtain planning permission to make them bigger before they refurbish them, it was still a unique experience to wake up in the morning right by the sea. We also stayed in one of the top suites which was built quite recently, was spacious, beautifully appointed and right next to reception and their main restaurant. If it is available also try and book that. We dined at the hotel every night and it was absolutely lovely. Lunch in their beachside restaurant was also delightful. We saw no need to dine and outside of the property… that was a good decision. We met the executive chef who is beyond accommodating… a lovely dining experience. On our second stay we had a gorgeous spacious ground floor suite close to the main swimming pool and beach. On the Saturday night they had a terrific female singer entertaining guests at dinner which, along with lovely staff, great views and the especially comfy dining armchairs on wheels at the rear of the restaurant…combined to make this one of the most enjoyable dining experiences we have ever had in Antigua. All of the staff range from being lovely to exceptional and that starts from the top down, with the most excellent general manager, Fabio Giorgi. The hotel is family owned and much love has clearly been invested by the owners, management and staff. Everything was lovely. The main swimming pool hardly ever had anyone in it or sitting around it even though the hotel was full. The grounds are so extensive and the accommodation so well spread out that it felt extremely private. We took advantage of the hourly complimentary regular boat service to visit Nelson’s Dock nearby. When in accommodations at the lower level they sent a golf cart to pick you up to reach the main restaurant at night and at any other time required. When we were staying in one of their top suits with the private pool next to reception, this came with our own golf cart which was great fun. The last time we had one of those with a suite was at Rosewood in Bermuda. We have never stayed at a hotel quite like this… it did feel more like an INN than a hotel, welcoming and cosseting. Please take a look at the photos we took during our two recent stays… we will not hesitate to re-book. The staff are like family… I only came across one staff member who had attitude and that was at the beach restaurant during our final lunch. There's always one… we can cope with that.
