They start off by misleading you when you purchase an ocean front room. The hotel says the do not offer that type as a category. The rooms are small and outdated. The food was very good and the staff was friendly.

The resort itself is nice enough, clean and fair size. With a beautiful beach. The buildings look good from the outside. The bedroom, with double bed, was very small, with only a bed. No area inside to sit. The bathroom was tiny, small showerstall and no room at all in the toilet- sink area. Definitely needs to be modernized. Staff is very friendly and helpful; food is good and plenty of choice. The a-la-carte restaurant had fantastic food. The snackbar is open from 11-6, with fast food options, which was good.

This resort is "you get what you paid for." We did the all inclusive which we loved for drink purposes. The buffet was average and seemed like same type of food but prepared in a different way. After a few days, we werent looking forward to eating there. The Coconut Grille was fantastic with made to order choices. If you get up early enough, you can add your name to reservations for Pizza Factory. That place was the star of the resort in relation to food! Staff and food was amazing!!! We reserved a King room with ocean view. The room is tiny and outdated. No fridge in room so it was hard to keep anything cool and at drinkable temperature without constantly going to one of the bars to get ice. We also had the tiniest sliver of ocean view if you squinted long enough to see it. The beach here was absolutely fantastic and amazing and beautiful from every angle! Plenty of free beach chairs! Overall, we do think we got what we paid for (for the most part).

The beach was wonderful. The water is calm, and the sand is soft. The view is very nice. If you plan to spend most of your time on the beach, then Jolly Beach Hotel will do. The Hotel is basic, and the food is good.

We loved the beach and it's beauty. Gorgeous sunsets. We enjoyed the Coconut Bar and the Grill as well as the Long Bar. Some of the staff were very friendly and comfortable to be around. Others like Margaret were not so nice; she was a bit harsh to us. We spoke to other guests that had the same experience with Margaret who was in charge of dinner reservations and excursions. She should be easy to approach and we should be able to ask questions without getting lectured or made to feel uncomfortable. For a place named Jolly Beach, they need to encourage the staff to be jolly/happy! The manager we saw on a video promoting the place was there often and he never asked anyone how things were going; I don't think he ever smiled. I think if he cared about the guests, he would ask. The food was cold most of the time. The rooms needed a deep cleaning. A little bleach might help the bathrooms smell clean.

There has been vast improvements at Jolly Beach over the last few years. We had a great time. The people were fantastic and the property was very clean. The only critics of our room would be the shower faucets need changed and our guest room sink was very slow to drain. We cannot wait to go back to Jolly Beach Antigua!

This property is on a very beautiful beach. The location is awesome and walking distance to other restaurants and bars. The food was very good. The resort needs updating but very clean. You can’t go wrong here. There are no top shelf drinks, but you can go to the grocery store across the street and get your own if necessary. My husband and I travel all over the Caribbean. We were very pleased with the place.

The super saver room is extremely small(not like the picture). I wouldn’t get that room unless you are traveling alone and don’t plan on spending any time in the room. The door had a screen which made it easy for mosquitoes to enter. The shower and sink clogged up even after maintenance tried to fix it. The pipe above the toilet dripped water on me while using it. We did have a lot of rainy days but they really need to update their property.

The property is older, but upgrading is going on. Beach was great. The staff worked tirelessly and fulfilled my requests. I never had an issue with food choices. Is this a Sandals? No its not, but I can come here twice for going to Sandals once. We enjoyed it so much that we have already booked the resort again. I did not have high expectations going, but we were pleasantly surprised on how well everything was for us. I know some expect more, but a clean bed, good food, nice staff, and for us a Great Beach is all we want. The pools are nice and the main pool is very large. We didn't use the pools because of the beach. I would recommend the resort to anyone who is on the fence.

Relax and Enjoy

This is an amazing location and we always enjoy our stay here!! We hadn't been in four years due to COVID, but the staff remembered us...they even remembered the foods my husband liked!! The bartender knew what he liked to drink and as he walked up it was being made! Rooms were clean and the staff was amazing!! Looking forward to our two week stay next year! The only thing we missed was the choice of 3 specialty restaurants and a buffet.

The property is definitely dated and can use a spruce up of the rooms. Although the beds are some of the most comfortable hotel beds I’ve ever slept on. Dining options need to be expanded and additional hours added, because when you say all inclusive the thoughts are that you will have dining options around the clock for the most part and there will be some variety. Staff are amazing for the most part! Kind and friendly while remaining professional! Bartenders made sure the drinks did what they are supposed to do! Overall, if I heard they did some updates …! I would definitely be a return visitor.
