Hotels near American University of Antigua, Osbourn

Hodges Bay is a smaller intimate resort. The staff are very friendly and pleasant. They offered many suggestions of things to see both on and off the resort. We came in the middle of Sept which is still off season and hot. On site you have to go over to Prickly Pear Island and have a lobster roll. Off resort we would recommend English Bay and Shirley Heights (on Thurs and Sunday) very good steel band and BBQ. Our stay was lovely and the resort beautiful. Special thank-you to Jon, Antonio and Vennee and Jade for going far out of their way to make our stay extra pleasant. Sincerely Keith R.

This is an average hotel, somewhere around 3 stars but at a 5 star price. This fact significantly spoils the hotel's rating, because if they were a little cheaper and communicated properly, it could be a very pleasant hotel. The room is an average Caribbean room, nothing extra, worn-out equipment, e.g. shower only on the top or let's say the bathroom equipment. The doors are not card-operated, but operate with a key. The single beds are not very big, the room is not either, we asked for a sea view, we got it, but in front of it there is the pool, the restaurant, so it only partially looked at the sea. The pool is very nice in the pictures, but in real life it is average, with salt water. The hotel's own beach is after the restaurant, after all, it has everything you need, foot shower, sun loungers, etc. But the beach is not turquoise and crystal clear water, but sandy, seaweed, wavy. The cleaning lady didn't bring water the second day, of course not because the hotel is pet bottle free, there is a water purifier, go and fill up the water, which is fine, but if you left the bottle in town, you don't have anything to fill up with water, I think you should reconsider this. This would all be fine anyway, average Caribbean standard, but the check-in is slow, the hotel is a 3-star, but the price of 375 USD per night is completely unrealistic for this hotel, and that doesn't include the 50 USD per person breakfast either, so 475 USD per night for the two of us. If I add the location, I add that breakfast is 50 USD, and dinner is also about 50-100 USD. So 1 day in this hotel is 600 USD for two people, 300 USD per person, it seems quite a lot, for the quality listed above. The last time we paid this much for a hotel was in a Dominican community, but it was really on the beach, it was really 4 stars, with normal sized beds and I could list the differences. Moreover, at the evening dinner they forgot our order, we had beer, beer and after the third beer, about 1 hour after ordering, we asked where the dinner was, then they realized that they forgot, so we got the dinner an hour and a half after the first order. Which was kind of fusion, neither European, nor Caribbean, nor Italian, so it wasn't worth 100 dollars. But I could also say the breakfast, which is not a buffet but ordered, they forgot to bring one of the juices and the beans with tomatoes, we had to say so, for that reason. Anyway, the hotel would have a good atmosphere, it would be a pleasant Caribbean hotel where I would gladly spend my time in the morning and evening, then have 1-2 drinks at the bar, but not for this much, the amount we left there is completely unrealistic.

Good morning, mushrooms and vegetables are delicious, many varieties, fruit and mango are super sweet, three different juices, two different (full and low fat) milk; the hotel has three swimming pools, one beach, and the beach has its own Water sports, clean beaches, Europeans and Americans did not see Chinese. The hotel has a Chinese staff (graduated from the Chinese Department of Xiamen University) called Shi Lisi, which has helped us a lot. Special thanks, the hotel will help call cars, there is a bar, there is a restaurant There is parking for free,

What an absolute gem of a place!! My daughter and I stayed here for 2 nights, prior to embarking on a cruise, and it was amazing here. The room was huge, spacious and spotlessly clean, with everything we could possibly need, with a stunning view of the sea. Jackie was a fantastic host and a brilliant chef too!! - we had **** chicken with coconut rice and fried plantain one evening, and it was delicious. If you get the chance to eat there, then definitely choose something from her menu, you won't be disappointed. The breakfast was lovely too, with included freshly prepared fruit, toast and homemade marmalade, but with the option of eggs or omelettes if required. The setting was peaceful with lovely views over Dickenson Bay, and the lovely beach was only a 10 minute walk away via a short cut through the property. Jackie was very helpful, organising taxis for us to take us to the ship, contacted out tour company when the guide was a little late, and even drove us to the beach one day to show us where it was and the route to take back. Nothing was a problem, and we felt safe and well looked after. The other staff there were lovely too, very charming, friendly and polite and made us feel very welcome. I would definitely stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jackie and her resort to everyone. Thank you Jackie for a memorable stay in Antigua, we loved every second of our stay there.

Had a fantastic stay at the Cortsland Hotel. I stayed there for two nights at the beginning and end of my holiday for easy transfers to the airport. The first room I stayed in had a patio with seating. Rooms have ironing board and iron. Kettle with teas, coffee etc. The room was a fantastic size and bed was comfortable. The air conditioning was superb. The second room I stayed in had a kitchen that was accessed through glass sliding doors. Washing up liquid supplied. Extensive range of crockery and utensils. This room was massive. The hotel is immaculate. Pool is large with seating and comfortable loungers. I had this area to myself during my stay. All hotel staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. On arrival I was too late for dinner. Emily ordered me a pizza and drove me to collect this. I only ate breakfast here. It was a buffet breakfast and had fruit, orange juice, cereals, teas and coffee on offer. The hot choices included scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon and herb potatoes. There is a bar near the hotel offering food and drinks that can be accessed from the back gate of the hotel. The gardens are well maintained and extensive. I also ran out of cigarettes during my final stay. Hazel, the hotel owner, personally drove me to the supermarket to buy these. Shout out to Donny and Kella who made me feel welcome. I stayed here myself and felt incredibly safe. The bar was not open but drinks could be ordered at the reception. I would highly recommend this hotel. Customer service was second to none.

Really enjoyed staying a couple of nights at Connie's whilst waiting for our delayed flight. The staff are friendly and really helpful- thanks again to Brittany who was able to accommodate our ever changing situation. The room lives up to the name, it's super comfortable, well air conditioned, cleaned to high standards. The amenities provided in the room are good and there are takeaway shops and grocery shops within walking distance. I would highly recommend!
