Hotels in Freemans Village

"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 The resort is very outdated and in need of major renovations, and it does not match the expectations shown online.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."

"The bathrooms in common areas were not cleaned, the hotel ran out of beach and pool towels in the middle of the day, there were cups and dirty plates left by guests that were not picked up and staff were a hit or miss. "

"Stunning property, buildings and rooms. The beach is small and the sunbeds on the beach and by the pools are almost on top of each other. For that reason, although it’s a gorgeous property with incredible hospitality, I probably wouldn’t book here again. Unless, I was able to book Diamond. That area seemed to have more personal space."
