Bestil hvis You want a prestigious, old-school Caribbean 'country club' vibe where the staff knows your name and you never have to sign a bill.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Incredible 'family' atmosphere with staff tenure averaging 20+ years
- Two distinct beaches: one calm for water sports, one rough for surfing sounds
- Truly all-inclusive: scuba, water skiing, and top-shelf liquor included
Hurtig oversigt: It feels like visiting your wealthy aunt's private island estate—impeccable service and vintage charm, but don't expect modern minimalist design or a party scene.
Anmeldt af @unlimitedtrips: I stayed in this ground-floor suite and honestly, being this close to the water changed everything. I drank my coffee on the balcony while watching the waves roll in. It felt like my own private slice of Antigua.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips

Is it really all-inclusive?
Yes, surprisingly so. It includes scuba diving, water skiing, deep-sea fishing, top-shelf drinks, and even tennis lessons—things most resorts charge extra for.
Do I need to tip?
No. A 10% service charge is added to your bill. Staff are paid well and don't expect cash tips. Donate to the Old Road Fund instead.
Is there a dress code?
Yes, and it's strict. After 7pm, men need long pants and collared shirts in the main restaurant. No t-shirts or flip-flops at dinner.
Are kids allowed?
Yes, it's very family-friendly with a 'Cee Bee' kids camp, but there are adults-only areas (like the Sea Grape restaurant for dinner).
Is there AC?
Yes, all rooms have AC, though many guests prefer to just open the louvers for the trade winds.
How far is the airport?
About 35-40 minutes by taxi. VIP airport meet-and-greet is often included in the rate to speed you through customs.
