Three 5-star hotels in Antigua – and how to choose
Carlisle Bay Antigua starts at 649 €, The Inn at English Harbour at 1,658 € and Curtain Bluff Resort at 1,977 € – a good three times the entry rate, across nine kilometres of coast.
The Inn at English Harbour St. John´sTogether the best hotels in Antigua offer 19 room categories, and 13 of them are suites: more than two thirds.
Why we recommend it: Antigua has far more hotels than the ones gathered here. Our travel advisors picked three that share the same coast and still add up to three different bills. Two of them even share the address Old Road – and it is precisely between those two that the full price gap of this selection sits. What separates them is therefore not the location but the scope: at the most expensive, meals for two people are included; at the other two they are not.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
Convert the top rate before you compare it. At Curtain Bluff Resort, all-inclusive for two people is part of the deal – the nightly rate there also covers food and drink, which it does not at Carlisle Bay Antigua or The Inn at English Harbour. And if you are heading to English Harbour anyway: right beside it lies Nelson’s Dockyard, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2016 and the only surviving Georgian naval dockyard in the world. The national park authority it belongs to has been in place since 1984.
Where to stay in Antigua: Old Road or English Harbour
All three hotels stand on the south coast, and the whole selection fits into nine kilometres. The longest distance in this selection separates The Inn at English Harbour from Curtain Bluff Resort – barely a quarter of an hour by car.
Carlisle Bay AntiguaOld Road carries two of the three: Carlisle Bay Antigua and Curtain Bluff Resort. Both sit on bays of their own along the open south side, where the hills run down to the water.
English Harbour, some nine kilometres further east, carries The Inn at English Harbour. This is the island’s historic natural harbour: a deeply cut inlet where the British navy brought its ships to safety ahead of hurricanes.
For your arrival that means: Antigua has a single international airport, and it lies in the north near St. John’s – on the other side of the island. The drive to the south coast is part of the trip for all three.
19 categories, 13 suites: the best hotels in Antigua from the inside
The best hotels in Antigua offer 19 room categories between them, and 13 of them are suites – more than two thirds. That is the real difference from an ordinary beach hotel: here the suite is not the exception but the rule.
The largest belong to Curtain Bluff Resort: a suite facing Grace Bay and Morris Bay at 180 sqm, a one-bedroom Bluff Suite at 164 sqm and a Cliff Suite at 140 sqm, all three looking out to open sea. Below them follow a Terrace Suite and a Terrace Room at 83 sqm each, a Junior Suite at 80 sqm and a Bluff Room at 76 sqm.
At The Inn at English Harbour the suite with its own plunge pool measures 90 sqm.
