If you're debating about whether to go here or not, I first must preface that it totally depends on what you want. If you want white glove service, immaculate rooms and 5 star food, this probably wouldn't satisfy you. This resort has the best beach on the island (confirmed by many locals) but is a little older so things don't... More

We had to stay at the Jolly Bach Resort as my husband had to attend a conference there. After reading some of the reviews we were depressed and thought the whole thing would be a disaster. But when we got there,we were welcomed by very nice receptionists who gave us a superior room on the ground floor a few yards... More

Stayed at Jolly Beach hotel last week for 10 days. Rooms as described on trip advisor, small, tired. Stayed in a standard double on my own, friend next door. Glad didn't share because we would have been cramped. Room cleaned daily, fresh towels,no complaints, cleaners very trustworthy. Beautiful beach but wouldn't like to be there in full season. We stayed... More

Just returned from a weeks all inclusive holiday. Agree with previous reports - hotel a 'bit tired' and would probably benefit from a refit. Having said that, clean and adequate. The buffet style food in main restaurant was varied and plentiful - breakfast excellent. There are three additional resort restaurants, Italian, Asian and seafood with no visit restrictions. Entertainment staff... More

I recently stayed at the Jolly Beach on business, mainly because I didn't know much about the hotels in Antigua. When reviewing this hotel, I need to temper my comments based on what people will be looking for in this kind of hotel. It has the most amazing beach, probably the best in the Caribbean and possibly comes close to... More

Stayed there 3 nights late march. It was a bit like stepping back into the 80's when I walked into my room...It was clean okay sized but aged...Other than that the food was pretty good, the beach is great and the company was paying, It wasn't bad at all! I really enjoyed my meal at the Seafood restaurant there!

Just back from JBR and having read previous reviews I was not sure what to expect but wow what a fantastic holiday we had. I agree with the majority of the other reviewers regarding JBR I believe it is excellent value for an all-inclusive package in beautiful Antigua. The standard room is a solid 3 star, basic and dated however,... More

This trip was October 2012 and it has taken awhile to write as I did not want to unfairly rate this hotel because of other factors such as arriving along with Tropical Storm Raphael. However after three days of rain (mostly staying in the room as there was really nothing to do) and enduring flooded walkways and grounds with sandbags... More

Just back from 2 weeks at Jolly Beach Hotel. can only repeat what others have said. The Hotel needs a bit upgrading but everything worked and it was clean and comfortable. Food was ok. Staff great. Beach and weather fantastic. If you can't enjoy yourself here, there is something wrong. We looked at other more expensive hotels on the island... More
