A Caribbean All Inclusive Resort On Antigua

A Caribbean All Inclusive Resort On Antigua

Article by Peter R Stewart

Looking for an exclusive Caribbean Resort, and you want as short a flight as possible, and a quick transfer, then look no farther than the All Inclusive, and very exclusive Hermitage Bay which may well be considered a top Antigua Luxury Resort, and is situated on the west coast.

Hermitage Bay is unquestionably a resort with a difference, with a rare combination of English style and tropical beauty. It consists of only 25 very secluded colonial cottage suites divided between Hillside where they have private plunge pools, and eight Beach Cottages in two rows with the front row having panoramic views of the beach. If this is important, you need to specify when booking your Hermitage Bay vacation. The whole place is set in over 10 acres of tropical gardens above an exquisite white sand beach and turquoise sea.

The Hillside Cottages are larger and have complete privacy, perfect for an Antigua Honeymoon, but all the cottages at this Caribbean exclusive resort on Antigua are air conditioned with a king sized bed, flat screen TV, DVD player, ipod docking device, wireless broadband internet, as well as the usual bits and pieces you expect to find in a luxury resort.

Each cottage also has a large verandah with double day beds and plantation day chairs.

A few things to note about the Hermitage Bay exclusive all inclusive resort, some of which are a big plus, and others simply to be aware of.

The views are incredible, and the staff are fantastic, as you would expect from a luxury five star resort.

The idea of the Room Ambassador is terrific, you will meet him first when you are shown your room, and he will be responsible for your well being and comfort.

The Hillside cottages are private but the access from them to the restaurant excludes high heeled shoes, and possibly even smart clothes, so you will find the standard of dress in the evenings poor by exclusive resort standards, with gentlemen in shorts and ladies in flip flops. If you like dressing up you may not like this, and it certainly makes the walk up at night hard work, although there are buggies which tend to be a bit noisy.

Some guests complain of being eaten alive by mosquitoes and sandflies, but a bit of spray and covering up in the evenings dramatically reduces this inconvenience. It is the tropics after all!! You should however be aware that there can be jellyfish infestation at certain times of the year in the small but very attractive bay

Meals are of a very high standard, and the quality of service from all the staff is almost faultless, although service is at Caribbean pace – a little slow, but then you shouldn’t need to be in a hurry. The food is very fresh, and the fresh fish of the day spectacular. Most tastes are well catered for in a restaurant with a great atmosphere.

The watersports staff are very helpful, but you need to query whether or not water skiing is included in the all inclusive rate.

There is no queuing for sunbeds, drinks, or meals, the staff awareness is terrific, including the way your room mini bar will be kept topped up with the kind of drinks you enjoy.

The Hermitage Bay will leave you feeling this has been a luxury, very exclusive hotel and you will go home possibly fatter, but certainly feeling very relaxed and happy. Their claim to be one of the Caribbean’s most exclusive resorts is not without foundation, and it certainly ranks at the top insofar as an Antigua all inclusive resort is concerned, and the Hillside Cottages are the perfect Antigua honeymoon solution.

What would be cheaper? 2 people on an inclusive “last minute deal” cruise, or an all inclusive resort?

Filed under: Blog — Tags: Cheaper, cruise, deal, inclusive, last, minute, People, resort, would — @ 1:58 pm April 23, 2011

Question by FromTheTop: What would be cheaper? 2 people on an inclusive “last minute deal” cruise, or an all inclusive resort?
I’ve seen some last minute cruise deals for like $ 249 per person. I WILL have to fly to the port, which is showing about $ 200 per person. Would it be cheaper for us to go to an al inclusive resort somewhere? (Which we would also have to fly to…so that’d probably cancel out the extra $ 200 to fly to the cruise port)What do you think?

Best answer:

Answer by Patriotgal
About the same. You should choose the location(s) and experience you’re looking for. The biggest factor is liquor. Most cruises charge for soft drinks and liquor. The resorts do not charge for bar rail liquor. Depending on your life style, that could be a big deal. Have fun!
