We've stayed at two Elite Island Resorts, Los Establos in Panama and Hammock Cove in Antigua. The staff at both resorts are top notch. They go out of their way to provide a personal luxury experience. The cabins at Hammock Cove are ideal, private oases, comfortable bed, private pool. The food was phenomenal -- breakfast was our favorite meal because of the tasty and healthy options, but all of the meals were fantastic. The wait staff, the sommelier, the chefs, the front desk, water sports crew, the crew of the catamaran trip -- all go out of the way to be kind and accommodating. This resort is a laid-back beautiful escape that we recommend without reservation. Read less

Dear Future Traveler If you are looking for a relaxing, peaceful, and indulgent getaway- look no further! Hammock Cove Antigua is THE best all inclusive resort in Antigua and possibly even one of the best in the Caribbean. My wife and I just returned from a 10 day stay at Hammock Cove where we celebrated our honeymoon. This place definitely exceeded our expectations. We were looking for an all inclusive that was smaller, more on the quiet side with plenty of privacy. HC checked all of the boxes for us. The property is located on a beautiful cove overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. I would recommend booking or upgrading your room to an ocean front villa, the views are incredible! The villa was excellent. Lovely vaulted ceilings, large bathroom with double shower, nice large closet, and a beautiful plunge/infinity pool overlooking the water. There is also a great wet bar located on the balcony of each villa that is stocked daily with your drinks of choice. We were very pleased with our bar service from Delarno, he kept our bar and ice stocked nicely each and every day. He also kept us hydrated with lots of bottled water at our request. He was such a great guy! Our rooms were cleaned daily by the excellent housekeeping staff and they even provided a turn down service in the evenings. There are only a few dining options located on the property, however the menus change daily and the food was out of this world. The quality of the ingredients and the choices were excellent. We highly recommend grabbing breakfast at Irinas. This is the more casual option for dining where they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each morning we were greeted by the lovely Linda who took such good care of us. She was so polite and so sweet and really made us feel at home. In the evenings we opted to go to the high-end restaurant, The Lighthouse, where Chef Marco and his team delivered the best fine-dining meals. We were so impressed by the menus and dishes that we decided to eat here every night of our trip. There were so many lovely staff members at The LightHouse that took such great care of us, Troy, Keiv at the bar and Nishila, just to name a few. Make sure you dine there on Wednesdays as they offer a 7 course tasting menu that was impressive and delicious. We must not forget our lovely Ambassadors, Dev and Rondel. These two took such great care of us throughout our entire stay. They helped arrange our excursions, answered our calls regarding any questions or needs that we had, as well as took room service orders and delivered them to our room. The ambassadors at Hammock Cove go above and beyond for the guests and that's one of the many reasons we enjoyed our trip so much. A special shoutout to some other staff members that were so lovely and took great care of us. Aaliyah, Erick, Joel, Andre, Priscilla, Camara, and Samantha; Thank you! If you are looking for a fun excursion, we recommend hopping on the Calypso Cat that leaves right from the property and takes you on a snorkel trip. This was so much fun! The captain and crew took great care of us and kept the rum punch flowing! We will definitely be returning to Hammock Cove in the future. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay- from the wonderful villa, to the incredible food and drinks, and the excellent service. Thanks to everyone at HC for a great time! We will see you again soon! Read less

Let me start by saying I don’t typically leave reviews, but this vacation 1000% deserves one! This trip was my husband and I’s 15 year anniversary trip. Every single thing about this vacation was fabulous! The staff was so, so friendly and welcoming. I could name several but I’m afraid I’d miss someone!

Let me start by saying I don’t typically leave reviews, but this vacation 1000% deserves one! This trip was my husband and I’s 15 year anniversary trip. Every single thing about this vacation was fabulous! The staff was so, so friendly and welcoming. I could name several but I’m afraid I’d miss someone! The owner, who we saw almost everyday, made a point to greet/meet every new couple and welcome them. The food was delicious! Chef Marco’s cooking demonstrations are a must! Make sure to book it when you get there. We had a standing reservation for dinner at the lighthouse and ate there every night. For lunch we would either order at the beach or run up to Irina’s. My husband and I went to the fitness center everyday and it was great! It pretty much had anything you needed for your workout. We also enjoyed a deep tissue couples massage which was very relaxing. We will most definitely be back! We spoke with a handful of couples who were on returning trips and couldn’t say enough good things about this resort. No comparison to others! I think we hit the jackpot! Read less
