The only thing that was annoying was the group of guests that met up with their tour guide every morning and they were very loud. The tour guide was especially loud and it was disturbing to the peacefulness of the property. Other than that we had a very relaxing time

A beautiful gem located in the heart of Antigua! The staff is incredibly friendly and helped me navigate Antigua, as it was my first time visiting. The hotel is just steps away from a number of landmarks, restaurants and stores. Be sure to take in the beauty of the courtyard while enjoying breakfast or a glass of wine in the evening. The fireplace in the room also provides another element of comfort and charm!

This hotel is STUNNING. The actual architecture and design of the hotel is beautiful, but what maintains its beauty are the employees. You can tell the employees care deeply about the hotel. All of the employees were beyond attentive to each guest and always greeted you with a smile. Very detail of this place was impressive. I personally loved that it was small enough to feel private with a more attentive detail with each and every guest. I will 100 percent be back! Thank you!

There are some luxury amenities and a delicious breakfast. Unfortunately there was construction next to my unit during my stay, so I decided to leave early. I do appreciate how the staff were willing to give me a refund for one unused night, but would’ve appreciated some more understanding or help for the two nights of disruption before that.

We were SO lucky to have found this gem of a hotel. Although all of Antigua is a jewel, this perfectly located hotel hides behind a simple wall BUT inside is an oasis complete with gardens and tranquility for each large private suite. The staff is highly professional, well trained in receiving foreign visitors and understand our high standards. This hotel and its staff truly went out of their way to make everything perfect and we had the best stay. Location is ideal and it is decorated elegantly and comfortably with seating areas for lounging, etc.

Trust me, the pictures do not do this place justice. It’s gorgeous, safe, and conveniently located near everything. But you can forget about all of that once you step inside and are transported to a beautiful oasis of calm and tranquility. We wanted to stay an extra day in Antigua just so we could enjoy the property. And the morning breakfasts are superb.

Beautiful Property

This is an amazing property from a location and design point of view. The only drawback is that there is no parking, or any arrangement by the property for parking elsewhere. They just suggested a car park that was about 3 blocks away. If you are not travelling with a car it won't matter.
