Hotels With breakfast in Saint Mary, Antigua and Barbuda

This was our first time in Antigua and our first time doing a proper resort holiday. We were really happy with Jolly Beach. It’s great value for money and the beach and location are genuinely beautiful. The only reason I’m knocking off stars for service is due to a memorable encounter at the tours desk with a lady called Margaret. I say memorable because it may have been the most perplexingly combative interaction of my life, all from politely enquiring about a boat trip. Still not entirely sure what I did to deserve such a scathing response… perhaps I chose the wrong boat.  In any case, I’m hoping it was just a one-off and that Margaret’s day improved afterwards, because aside from that surprising exchange, the remainder of the stay was nice and the other staff were friendly.

Nice beach but overall a bit overpriced
