The Antigua region

If you take an average of 28*C it doesn't vary more than 5*C above , or below that at anytime. Marvellous cooling winds with mainly bright days sunshine for 12 hours.

We have a history here of Horatio Nelson with his base in English Harbour with Lookout @ Shirley Heights, including a Museum there, which was in fact his house. A drive in 'Monty' our SUV on offer FREE for your stay through the Rain Forest with Adventure Course & Cable Cars overthe tree tops is exhilarating as well as visiting many of wonderful beaches and travelling by boat to nearby Islands, particularly Bird & Green Islands.

Mount Joy area

Mount Joy is situated in the Country, being centrally located means that it is not far from any destination you may have in mind for your day, so in 15 minutes drive in Monty, you can be on a fabulous beach, at the 18 hole Cedar Valley Golf Course, in English Harbour, or in St Johns.

Activity & entertainment in Antigua is diverse, from gambling in casino's to courses in underwater diving. We have International Cricket and World Class Yachting, the Antigua Race Week & the preceeding week - 'Classic' week are all based in English Harbour. I am sure there are other important fixtures in the Tennis, Golf, Windsurfing, Kiting & other sports, I'm not aware of.

Antigua is very much like the IOW in so far as it has really exciting pockets of interest dotted around the Island, that you just have to explore yourself to find those that interest you & the beach you find for yourself alone. 'Monty' will take you there complete with cooler for your picnic and rum punch, or pina colada. Come stay at Sundowners, the living is easy.
