Antigua, Caribbean

Virgin rating

The hotel

Lapping it up in the true ‘lap’ of luxury, Hodges Bay Resort & Spa is a world away from the cookie cutter beach hotels that crop up around the Caribbean. Designed to be different, every element of this 9-acre estate is refined and relaxing. Its gloriously green gardens are matched by whiter-than-white sands, its crisp contemporary architecture cocoons upscale interiors, and its features are beyond high-end. There are two swimming pools — including an adult-only infinity pool overlooking the bay, surrounded by plush sun-loungers and poolside cabanas, the ultimate way to catch some Caribbean rays and relax in an adult-only oasis. Not forgetting the beach and pool Ambassador Service of course, with dedicated staff on hand to tend to your every whim. Dining here is a true delight with a choice of three restaurants. Plus there are inviting bars to try, including a high-end rum bar with a dedicated sommelier - guaranteed to serve a true taste of Antigua.

Hodges Bay is absolutely beautiful! The resort is very unique and well designed. Every room feels unique and special! We stayed ocean front and garden view! Both were fantastic! The staff makes you feel like family. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners Jeff and Sarah and they are the kindest warmest people you could meet. The trip over to the prickly pear was an absolute highlight! We spent most days there. Captain Sean was great! Chef Wes, Veveen, and Ashanti were super kind and attentive! The main bar by the pool was our evening destination! Marvelous, Delvin, Anastasia and Kayenne were friendly and fun! I’ve told numerous people about our trip already! Sorry if missed anyone! Can’t wait to return!!! Read less

I thoroughly enjoyed my time there especially Charlene at the front desk who went above and beyond to assist me in locating a long lost friend on the island. The hotel is a tad expensive but still worth every penny that was spend. The downside was a manager by the name of Jean-Marie. She’s also at the front desk and was constantly berating Charlene in the presence of other guests as well as another staff by the name of Mark. Not sure if it’s his correct name but he has a unique hairstyle where his head is shaved and he has cornrows at the back. The manager was rude and I can honestly say that I don’t know how they work under her. Glave at the restaurant was great and very patient. Jennifer and Desire in housekeeping was very good as well as Cherianne in the coffee shot. Overall I give the hotel a 10/10. Staff gets a 9/10 While I would have given 4/10 based on the front desk manager, due to Glave I increase the score to 8/10. Read less

I found this resort just doing a google search. I've traveled to Antigua several times and wanted something different. It's a beautiful resort. Our rooms were fabulous, and the view spectacular. It's about 10 mins from the airport. There's a taxi stand at the airport, and they charge about $25 to drive to the hotel. To get around Antigua can be a little costly. The reception area was very clean and a very open concept. No issues with check in or the reception. They were very helpful. I enjoyed the breakfast every morning with the most breathtaking views. There is a cat or two wondering around the facility, but they don't bother anyone. My highlight was taking the boat to their Prickly pear island. I could stay there all day. Bring your own drinks or food. They have a bar on the island, but the food wasn't that good. Her drinks were better. CONS - Need some entertainment at night like a live band. The service is a bit slow, but I think that's the majority of the Caribbean. It took them forever to clean our rooms and make the beds. I guess it was a staffing issue. We never had enough towels and wash clothes, so we found their lining closet and had to raid it at least one a night. The food in the restaurant was just ok. Breakfast was the best for me. The lawn chairs pillows were weathered and ripped. Hopefully they corrected it. I will be returning for that penthouse suite one day! Read less

Hodges’s Bay Resort was an amazing place! From the warm welcome when we arrived to the goodbyes when we were leaving. Our room had a gorgeous view of the ocean. The room was cleaned and stocked every day. All the staff were polite and respectful. They even knew our names. The pools and beaches were beautiful and Prickly Pear Island will be unforgettable with the crystal clear waters. Hodges Bay is a quiet,relaxing resort. I had tears in my eyes when we were leaving. We would highly recommend this place. Tip: We pre booked a round trip service to bring us from the airport to the hotel($136.00). We decided a few days before arrival to cancel that service. We are very happy that we did. When you get your luggage and go out the doors you will see a median in the road with a taxi counter there. We got a taxi for $20.00 to go to the hotel and then going back to the airport the hotel got us a taxi for $25.00. Read less
