WOW!! The Pineapple Beach Club was incredible....again. This is our 3rd time in Antigua but the 2nd time at PBC. We have just arrived home today from spending 2 glorious weeks there. All of the staff are amazing, helpful and friendly. The food was fantastic at every location, from the coffee shop to the buffet and up the hill at The Outhouse. Plenty of fun activities to do on site or excursions out or just enjoy the beach, the sea or any of the bars. The wife and I have made lots of friends and will definitely be going back as soon as we can. I doubt we'll be booking anywhere other than The Pineapple Beach Club in Antigua. Read less

This was our fifth visit to Pineapple Beach Club. The people are very friendly and nice. The food is delicious. The beach is always the right temperature. We enjoy relaxing in the water hammocks. The one thing that I would want them to do to improve is to remove the $24 US/day resort fee. This only began after Covid. We are now in 2024 almost 2025. I know this is not the only resort that charges this fee. However, they should all remove it. It is no longer necessary. We enjoy the small size of this resort. Everything is easy to get to. This is not the resort if you’re looking for a wild nightlife or a large theatre show. However, it is exactly what we enjoy. We look forward to returning for our sixth visit as soon as possible. Love it there. Read less

My husband & I wanted to try some place completely different for our 25th Anniversary, so we chose Antigua. Then I found a great deal for Pineapple Beach Club so we decided to give it a try. We stayed from August 25-30, 2024. I will be honest, there were some mixed reviews on here so I wasn’t quite sure if we made a mistake or not. I’ve got to… Read more
My husband & I wanted to try some place completely different for our 25th Anniversary, so we chose Antigua. Then I found a great deal for Pineapple Beach Club so we decided to give it a try. We stayed from August 25-30, 2024. I will be honest, there were some mixed reviews on here so I wasn’t quite sure if we made a mistake or not. I’ve got to say, either my husband & I aren’t very picky, or other people look for things to be picky about because we had the BEST time! And while we were there, we made several friends who all felt the same way. My husband & I have been fortunate to have traveled to a lot of beachy all-inclusive resorts offer the years & this experience is right up in the top 3. The beach were beautiful, the grounds were well kept, & the staff was so friendly! We had a waterfront room that was clean, spacious….we loved it. I had heard mixed reviews on the food. The buffet is your typical buffet style that you see at most all-inclusives, but still plenty to choose from. We loved the specialty restaurants…no issues whatsoever with that. Now for some pointers…know before you go thoughts: 1. Take an insulated water bottle for ice water. Luckily we normally do this so it was a non issue for us, but I could see this being an annoyance if I didn’t have one. They are set up to give you 2 water bottles in your fridge every other day. There is always fresh ice water available at the bars to fill up, so if you have an insulated bottle with you it’s much more convenient. And yes, the water is filtered & safe to drink. 2. The other thing I overheard some people were not happy with was that they clean your room every other day, not every day. We didn’t really care about this either but just an fyi if you are someone who does. We actually declined one of our cleanings because we just didn’t feel we needed it. 3. There are a lot of steps to negotiate in certain areas. And the steps do get slippery when wet…so just be careful. 4. The other thing that I’d say can be uncomfortable (which I hear is part of the current renovation) is the resort was all open air. So at dinner time some nights I was really sweating, haha. Again, I’d go back in second to this resort!!! If you are looking for a laid back, low-key vibe this is it! Hope to get to you Pineapple real soon! Thank you for a great week! Read less
