Jolly Beach, Antigua

Kate Kozikowski Real Estate Sales Representative

The property is located on a beautiful beach, which we truly enjoyed. I also want to commend the staff, as they were very friendly and helpful throughout our visit. However, I did feel that the rooms are in need of renovation. Additionally, while the food was fine, I found it to be cold most of the time, and felt it could be improved. Overall, it was not a bad experience.

Perfectly fine if you don’t expect a 5* service from a 3* hotel! The staff is friendly and nice, a bit relaxed (Caribbean style), but can’t blame them! The food was good and quite varied. Has an issue in my room, and was moved to a much better one the next day. The main thing was the beach - one of the best on the island. Overall, I’m happy with my holidays there!

Hello! Just left this resort yesterday. We were there for 9 days. We flew direct flights from Toronto. Air Canada has direct flights from YYZ on Tuesday's and Thursdays. We arrived and first impressions were WOW! The service was amazing, the beach was spectacular. The food was great BUT we got tired of the same buffet. There is only one a-la-carte restaurant (The Pizza Factory). It was not good so don’t waste ur time. The buffet has great food but like I said, after 9 days we would have loved to have had other restaurants to try. The hotel room we had was in the first floor. We could not leave our patio door open as the screen door was broke and there was a gap to let bugs in and it didn’t lock. There was a rain storm on day 6 and our room leaked. Water was coming in the bathroom ceiling. There was water everywhere in the bathroom and we had to keep towels on the floor to sop up the water. It was 100% damp everywhere. The bed was damp and our cloths. But at the end of the day we didn’t go there to stay in our room. So we give it a 4* because the rest was so good it compensated.

John Murphy and Staff were so humble and a pleasure to talk to and interact with. The beach is the best beach that I have been to in the Carribean. The sunsets are breath taking. The food is amazing - so many choices. The pool is Fantastic! I met so many guests who have been coming here for so many years - 10+ years. This is our second visit and after this Amazing Experience this will definitely be a yearly visit. Thank you to John and the staff for making this visit unforgettable. Christopher Bonfini and Roxanne Harding.

Jolly Beach Resort, Antigua. I was looking forward to write a good review, and this one surpassed my expectations. Let me start with the reception, excellent customer service, Kiara was very knowledgeable about her work and extremely helpful and accommodating. 5 stars. The Beach is gorgeous, miles and miles of white sand serenaded by the soft sound of the Caribbean Sea, perfect heat from the sun and very confortable weather. 5 stars. The room was good, on the third floor (no elevator) spacious king size bed and eventhough the shower is very small, the room has a great balcony overlooking the beaches. I don't smoke but I was second-hand smoking(cigar and herb) the whole week. 4.5 stars. The common dinning room could be presented with more aesthetics. The entire area smelled mossy, there are flies and birds on the outside . The food was very tasty though, especially the curry goat on Caribbean Night (Friday). In my humble opinion there should be more than one "Caribbean Night" per week, at a Caribbean Resort. I will recommend fans and "bug exterminators". 3 stars. The Hotel does have a very nice a la carte restaurant, where you can, in advance, order Lobster for dinner. I highly recommend waiting in line for reservations from 7am. Ms Margaret is very kind and wonderfully efficient. Listen to her, she will always lead you to the right stuff. 5 starts. The biggest disappointment of all, no WiFi in the bedroom, only in the common areas close to reception. Logistically, this is easy to rectify in 2026. Made me wonder if we were still living in the 1990s. Also, the viewing programming on the TV is a lot to be desired. If you're looking to stay in that day and want to catch up on the world stage, you'll be disappointed. Recommend streaming apps for the TV, but you would require WIFi, which is lacking. In this day and age, what resort/hotel does not provide free WiFi to their customers?!?!? 1 Star. Apart from the latter, an absolutely wonderful (first time) experience. So with that said, the resort is awarded 4 stars
