Antigua?

Has anyone been to Antigua or is planning to go there?  We are thinking about Sandals Grande Antigua, but are not sure what else there might be to do outside of the resort.  I know I have seen a lot about St. Lucia on here, but no Antigua!

Re: Antigua?

  • We went to Sandals Regency and next on our list is either Sandals Antigua or Royal Bahamian but Antigua will probably take first choice, we are waiting to have enough miles to cover our air. Our TA Nancy from www.myislandgetaways.com sent me all her own personal pictures and excursions and it looks like there is alot to do and they even have a casino nearby.  
  • We are going to Antigua in 3 WEEKS! Can't wait.  Jennifer from VIP says that the Sandals Grande is the best one they offer!! I can't wait!  
  • We're going in November for our honeymoon, can't wait. We plan on doing a few excursions outside of the hotel, but not sure what else we want to do.

  • Are Curtain Bluff and Jumbo Bay all inclusive reports as well?
  • We went to Sandals Antigua in March for our HM. We loved it. We didn't do our excursion until the last day, which i wish we would have done it earlier because it was the highlight. We did a all day tour, which was a tour by car to all of the island hotspots, betty's hope, nelsons dockyard (which is extremly old and cool -from 1700's) went by eric claptons house, when trough some of the back country. Then we hopped on a boat and went to a remote part of the island and kayaked and did an eco tour, and then boated over to bird island, which is so cool and snorkled. They served us lunch at bird island. It was a great day! I know there are sunset cruises, trips over to barbuda (which has pink sand beaches!). Hope this helps!
  • We want to go to Antigua but everything is so expensive we wanted to spend around 2000 but we are finding out that we prob are going to spend around 4000 and i def do not want to spend over that.  I know jumby bay is all inclusive and i would love to stay there but they are very pricy.  Right now we are thinking about Cocos Hotel or Cocobay Bay Resort...They are both small all inclusives but I don't want the big Resort thing.  I really want to have that true Antiguan feel of the Caribbean!!!  The only thing is you only have air conditioning in the more expensive rooms which I am not sure if we should or shouldn't because they have a ceiling fan but i am just wandering how hot it will be in the room????  What do yall think about that?
  • We are going to Sandals Antigua next Sunday for our HM!!!!! I planned on posting a review on the honeymoon board about our experience!  I hope to have it posted by the end of October!
  • We are looking at Sandals Antigua too so this was such a helpful post.  Thanks.
