Loved this resort !! My husband and I came here to celebrate our two year anniversary and we had the best time ! The only reason why I didn’t give this resort 5 stars is because I was expecting more hammocks around the property and I was hoping the pool was heated. We also had a slight hiccup with our gazebo dinner where it was missing a course and our chef wasn’t made aware of us not eating pork and was brought out a pork dish. The resort did offer a discount which was fine! Also we booked the boat tour, but the staff wasn’t made aware of us coming till we got there at 8:45 so they had to quickly make us lunch which also ended up having pork and we weren’t able to eat. Overall
The beach is absolutely beautiful! The staff was 10/10! The light house restaurant was right across our villa and the food was
Spectacular!! We were a 3 minute walk from devils bridge so that was amazing to see! The property so beautiful and well kept! There is also water sports available on the property!! Loved this resort ! And would return with the family! Oh our room also had the best bathroom!!! The shower was huge and they had a wonderful vanity so I could get ready.
We also loved the game room and rum
Tasting bar which had some great games to play after our evening was over! NOT
TO MENTION THE SPA is to die for, Marilyn and Elizabeth gave me and my husband a massage one day, a wrap a massage a facial, a scrub, head massage the next, and a 90
Minute the following day !! To say the least we loved their expertise in massage skills!!

We are having the most incredible stay! This report goes above and beyond the already high expectations. Service is second to none. Sheldon and Leon are so gracious and helpful. They have made this birthday unforgettable! Would highly recommend this resort for anyone traveling to Antigua!

We had an amazing stay at Hammock Cove. We stayed 9 days, 8 nights. It's definitely on the pricier side with the inclusive fee, but we loved our stay. This property boasts 40-something villas each with private plunge pools. There are two types: waterfront (closest to the water) and waterview. There is food availability 24/7 and room service. There are 2 restaurants and several bars. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. There is wifi throughout the resort.
Everyday, we would hit the gym, have room-service breakfast, use some type of water feature (main pool, beach, private villa plunge pool), play pickleball, and eat dinner. One day we did one excursion: the stingray and tortoise encounters. There are others we did not do, like the jeep safaris, calypso cat boat charters, etc.
GYM
The gym is one of the best gyms we've ever been to at a vacation resort. All the equipment is new. There are machines for chest, back, legs, arms, free weights, benches, a cable machine, treadmills, bikes, and a rower. We used the gym every morning. It's air conditioned. Plenty of water and towels. It's next to the Spa, which we didn't use, but has a lot of treatments, such as facials and massages. It's also next to the gift shop, which we also did not use.
Beach
The beach is very beautiful. At first it seems small, but there is plenty of room and never felt busy even though the hotel was quite full (likely since a lot of guests use the main pool and private villa pools). The ones who work on the beach are super nice and make sure you have water as well as drinks or food brought to your beach chairs. Julio is the absolute best!!!! What a hard worker, we loved him; he was always so cheerful and nice. Also great are Tashawna, Natalia, Chelsea, Eric, Tevin, Nashila, Hector, and others whose names I am forgetting (I apologize, but everyone was great!). They also service the main pool area and make sure you have water, food and drinks to order.Activities include taking a ride on the hobie cat, kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, lounging on a circular raft (your drinks can be brought to you on the water!!), swimming, snorkeling.The beach also does some food activities at noon, such as oysters & bubbles, caviar & bubbles, seafood grill, BBQ, and others.
Pool
The main pool is a 3-tier infinity pool with several areas to lounge in. Plenty of towels. The water is so refreshing and the view is spectacular. The aforementioned individuals service the pool too. The pool itself is just stunning
PickleballThere are 2 pickleball courts. We would play around 5 pm when the sun would not touch the courts. It was definitely a fun time.
Cons
Our room looked directly at the Verandah, the sister property. I presume the better view is near the Hammock Cove beach or closer to the Devil's Bridge area. Sometimes the Verandah had loud music at night. In between the 2 facilities, there is construction ongoing, which was loud during the day.I would have liked more snacks/foods for the minibar rather than just nuts. We have stayed at other similar resorts such as Nayara in Costa Rica which has similar villas and had a ton of snacks. However, Nayara isn't all-inclusive so I guess the upside is you can always order a light bite to the room at Hammock Cove.
Overall: will go back!

Thank you to all the hotel staff that made our trip exceptional. Not a frequent all inclusive person as the experiences are usually sub par but that wasn’t the experience at Hammock and would definitely recommend Hammock as one of the best all inclusives. Not one request was too much for the team.
The rooms with waterfront views are as good as the beachfront! Every room has its dip pool and extremely large rooms.
Let’s talk about the food. All to order 24- hours. No buffet tables and everything was made to order and fresh. The breakfasts were fantastic and the dinners I didn’t think could get better. The tasting menu was exceptional.
The only minor fault is the location. For people who want to travel around Antigua it’s just 30 mins away from other parts of the island. Renting a car was another easy thing the hotel was able to organize. This is only applicable those who want to get off the resort. The beach is small as its man made so getting off the resort to check out the magical beaches on the island is highly recommend.

We simply cannot rave about this place enough. While the cost is rather high compared to other, more budget-friendly adults-only all-inclusive resorts, we can certainly attest that the customer service, hospitality, quality, drink choices and food are beyond compare. From the moment you set foot on the property you can tell that the staff are on top of their game.
Your information/accommodations are all prepped at the check-in time specified. There is no waiting in a lobby to check in at reception. Instead, you are escorted to the main lobby bar where the bartender asks your preference and makes a cocktail to your liking while your bags are whisked away to your villa. Your ambassador then meets you for a golf cart tour of the property before showing you to your villa.
From there, anything you need is readily available or within an ambassador call away via your personal, resort-provided mobile phone. Need a different liquor or beer selection for your villa or food delivered? Simply call your ambassador.
NEVER MISS OUT on a dinner at the Light House restaurant, the resort's own fine-dining locale. Each night features a different menu, and you will never leave hungry or disappointed.
And the staff are absolutely outstanding! Everyone from the first bartender we met (Nigel) to the Calypso Cat crew serving food/drinks at the beach/pool, to Andre and Gabby at the lobby and rum bars, to Ilania (wine sommelier) to Marco (the chef)...too many to name/count. BEYOND EXPECTATIONS!
