The Antigua region
Antigua is an English speaking island that is steeped with English history. It is approximately 14 miles by 11 miles but is packed with things for you to do whilst on holiday. English Harbour and Nelsons Dockyard, a world heritage site are a must. Sunday evenings is reggae night on Shirley Heights with steel bands, live music and a barbeque.

There is an 18 hole golf course close by where you can hire any equipment you may need. Within the Resort there is a local bank, pharmacy (with English newspapers), art shop and internet cafe.
Cricket: Antigua like the rest of the Caribbean is cricket mad. The season runs from February to July and the island boasts a brand new ground, the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. The old ground, (The Recreation Ground) is in the centre of the capital, St Johns and both are well worth a visit.

Guestbook
1. Our stay in Antigua was made very special by our accommodation. Spacious apartment, fully equipped kitchen, 2 large ensuite bedrooms, beautifully appointed furnishings, lovely beach - 5 minutes away, sunny pool - only the two of us in it, pick up and transport to and from apartment - spot on. What joy! Can't wait to return – Regards Alan (UK)
2. The apartment exceeded our expectations for our first Caribbean experience. It was spacious, well equipped, comfortable and well appointed. the pool was fantastic and we enjoyed sitting on the veranda for breakfast and evening drinks and barbeque. There was a good range of restaurants in the area, indian, italian etc and we were never lost for somewhere to eat out. Yasmin was very helpful and the airport transfers went like a dream. Will be in touch to re-book. Can't come soon enough. Rachel and Michael. (UK)
