Jolly Beach Resort

A very old resort and it showed we were welcomed by rain and a miserable girl on the front desk who insisted I had my booking info/confirmation, I asked her if she was intending to send me away if I did not have it.
The food was ok but not brilliant not very varied, drinks flowed and the pools were a good size and plenty of sunbeds, it is a large resort and a really nice beach, we hired a car and they drive on the same side of the road as us brits.
So even better, we did the whole island got bit lost but ask if in doubt really friendly out there, it had some really hot days and some got badly burnt, the best thing was our trip to Montserrat but a long day and i mean long do not take kids its hard work.

Hubbie and I stayed here for 2 weeks.
Although the rooms are basic, they are kept clean by the maid service daily.
The food in the buffet restaurant is fairly typical of all inclusive, but was tasty and varied and most importantly covered.
The Italian, Indian and seafood restaurants (pre-bookable) are nice diversions although you do have to pay a supplement for some dishes.
The cocktails are to be drunk in moderation as they are usually 80%rum/10%coke!!
The beach here is amazing, known to be one of the best in Antigua.
Trips are varied but beware, your taxi fare to/from are extra. E.g. We took a trip to the dolphin park but had to pay extra for our taxi. Just something to be mindful of if you are on a budget.
The people in Antigua are lovely, always smiling!!
Be aware that on the beach you can get people trying to sell you things-including cannabis!! Say no and they leave you alone.
All in all a good trip, definitely a nice introduction for anyone wishing to 'try out' a Caribbean destination!!

Excellent facilities. Excellent food. The rooms are very basic but with such a fantastic facilities who’s going to spend much time in your room. The beach is gorgeous and the people very friendly though you do get pestered on the beach. Would recommend for families, couples and groups.
