Hotels near Valley Church Beach

"I recently stayed at Jolly Beach Resort in Antigua for four days and had a very disappointing experience. I booked this resort based on many positive reviews, as I usually rely on other people’s experiences when choosing where to stay, but in this case, the reviews did not reflect reality at all. The resort is very outdated and in need of major renovations, and it does not match the expectations shown online. The food was repetitive and underwhelming, especially breakfast and lunch, which felt like the same meals every day. Even the themed dinners lacked authenticity and variety—for example, the “Asian” night did not reflect real Asian cuisine at all. Because of this, I ended up going to local restaurants, which actually had much better, more flavorful food and became one of the best parts of my trip. The biggest issue, however, was the staff. Many were rude, unhelpful, and not welcoming. We were not properly seated at times, had to get our own utensils and cups, and received attitude when asking simple questions. On our last day, there was a power outage that was handled very poorly, with no communication, no updates, and no apology from management—even at checkout. Overall, this resort is overrated, poorly managed, and not worth the money. I would not recommend it at all."

"Room was amazing as were staff"

"This hotel was amazing. Nestled on a hill between two beaches, the setting and views are stunning. We decided to spend all of our time here as we needed to recharge and it was pure paradise. We spend the early day at Jolly Harbour beach and watched the sunset every day at Valley Church beach. The food was amazing. The staff were lovely. They were quick to respond with anything we needed. George was super friendly and helped us on several occasions. Highly recommend this little Paradise. "

"Service needs attention. We had multiple issues during our stay in terms of service. Hotel is understaffed. There is no urgency in addressing requests. We have stayed is 5 star hotels around the world and this hotel is severely lacking in service. The price we paid does not match the experience we had. The beach is beautiful and we loved our beach attendant Daniel who went above and beyond. Chef at wild tamarind is great and food was flavorful. They ran out of towels on the beach, no trash can placed in our room (had to ask multiple times to get a trash can), asked for a streamer and they didn’t have one, room was filled with mosquitoes, no porter available to take us up the hill at night…the list of short comings is long. Please train your staff and hire more staff so this is not the norm. "

"I normally stay at Jolly Beach Resort when I come but decided to try Jolly Castle. The room was spacious and perfect for my stay. "

"It was convenient to the West coast beaches & the main road. Proximity to a bar & bar noise was tough with a family especially on the weekend. "
