The food is fine - it's a big barbecue, so don't expect gourmet. But, for what it is, it's excellent. The view is difficult to beat, and the experience of the big party is one of the quintessential Antigua experiences. It's crowded though (on Sundays), so getting drinks can be a hassle. This is a must-do.

If you decide to take the excursion from the hotel that "includes the admission etc. to the heights" DON'T DO IT. The money you pay to get there and get through the door is all that you get. From there, you pay to get drinks (10 dollars per for lousy liquor and watered down mixed drinks). If you want to... More

Very small area and when alot of people not overly fun. If you like to hear steel drums for hours and then regae music then this is your place. We loved the views from here but the place was very crowded when we went to their Sunday night party. It was also Sail boat race week in April which I... More

Time constraints limited me to only a few minutes there and that was fine, but a little longer would have been good too.

This was my second time visiting Shirley Heights.The view at sunset is beautiful and well worth seeing.It gets very crowded and there are very few seats but its fun for a couple of hours. Better to plan on eating elsewhere.

The locals say"see you at church!" On a Sunday. Get there around 4pm and experience the best "Steel Band". Watch the sunset, drink some rum punch & you will think you are in heaven. If you are lucky Ivan may ask you to dance!

2nd time up Shirley Heights and the view does not disappoint - its stunning. This time we went at sundown which gave it a different perspective. Our coach driver left us there for an hour and half which is far too long tho.

I like the area but is a bit too costly for what they offer. Just my opinion! They can do without the cover charge. You are paying from the time you get there until you leave. Then add the 89.00 in taxi expense. Before your night is over you are in for 250.00 in US. Be prepare to dish out... More
