Jolly Beach Antigua - All Inclusive

The property was very clean and the staff was friendly, from the bartenders to receptionists to wait-staff to maintenance. The resort is located on an awesome beach with plenty of shelters and chairs. The resort could use one more upscale restaurant to supplement the Pizza Factory

I stayed at this resort with my husband from January 6-13th 2024 and it felt like I was in 1995. The resort was so outdated and the service is so far behind. Imagine changing your own bedsheets on vacation and no water being provided in your room. I never complain about my stays because I’m an easy going person but this resort deserves to hear this review. Don’t get it wrong, the beach was beautiful but the resort specifically was horrible. I do not recommend this resort to anyone.

jolly Beach Resort is an outdated property that sits on absolutely the most beautiful beach on Antigua. While it is in dire need of updating, the entire property including the rooms are are impeccably clean. I cannot say enough good things about the staff, each and everyone of them are hard-working, attentive and extremely friendly and always quick to share a smile. both pools on the property are beautiful. The large one does need a paint job. The only thing that really did bother me were the cigarette butts that people left on the beach, it's not the resorts fault. If you go in with realistic expectations, he will absolutely have a fantastic time. As soon as you see that beach she won't even care what your room looks like.

There was a beach and pool right across from each other. The food was alright. But I liked how they changed the dining options every day.

Overated room. My package included a queen size bed but I got a full size bed instead. Broken sliding glass door

Best beach in all of Antigua, old resort being renovated but still needs work. Food was mediocre, all buffet style One actual restaurant but you can only book twice in a week stay, if any availability. Only entertainment is at bar a singer With an awesome voice but sings the same 10 songs nightly - two pools, drinks are decent. We stayed in a room with two queens it had coffee maker and mini fridge. Budget rooms don’t Our bathroom looked like a 10 year old tried to renovate it?? All in all it’s a beautiful island and beach and very budget friendly resort. Not crowded at all and we really loved our catamaran excursion day trip around the whole island $ - not included

Cheep and cheerful is the best description. It’s completely no frills but it’s clean, the beach is amazing and the food and drink are reasonable. It’s a lot cheaper than other properties in Antigua so a good choice if on a budget. Don’t expect luxury or high end accommodation or awesome service but it’s still great fun. My only gripe is the WiFi is dreadful and only available in certain areas.

We just visited last week. We stayed 7 days and absolutely loved it. We plan on going back again next winter. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable with amazing views. The staff is fantastic! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The beaches are gorgeous. The property is beautiful and well kept. Plenty of food and drink options. We had a great stay. Our tour guide from Antigua Inside & Out was awesome! We had some fun adventures and learned a lot about the island. Would Highly recommend Jolly Beach resort and Antigua Inside & Out. We can't wait to go back!

The property is old, outdated and not cared for. Dirty cups and food baskets were left outside on small tables around the property for days. Our room had several issues - A/C was blasting and remote did not work, was making so much noise we couldn't hear each other speak. When they finally came to "repair" all they did was give us a remote that worked, and shut the unit off (well, off helped with the noise, but when we turned it back on, the noise continued). The A/C unit was spewing out black rubber particles from the belt. We were actually concerned the unit might go on fire. I am not exaggerating. There was a leak in the bathroom ceiling. The shower leaked badly, saturating the floor mat which needed to be wrung out - just what you want to do on vacation. Why not ask for a new mat, Oh, we did!! And we waited, and waited. Why not ask for a new room?? Ohh, you are funny! the bathroom light went out - not just a bulb issue. They came to replace the balast. They made a muddy mess on the bathroom floor (remember, the leaks). They said they would have housekeeping come. Yeah, right. We had to call for that. The few employees who were nice were really lovely, but most were so indifferent to the guests. Food was just OK. Bar service was ok. The beach was nice. Yes, I know, poor us. We spent a week in Antigua, boo hoo. But really, such basic things that shouldn't be, only adding to the deterioration of this hotel. Definitely a one and done for us.
