The 40 Best Resorts in the Caribbean: 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards

"Hugging the island’s south coast, this small but perfectly formed estate encompasses 19 acres of manicured gardens, all set against a dramatic backdrop of turquoise waters and pink-hued Caribbean sunsets. Each of the suites ooze timeless, old-school charm, featuring colonial accents and period furnishings: think grand four-posters and mahogany furniture. Wake up to languid breakfasts on the beach before working on your tan along the hotel’s palm-fringed sands—and if you’re tempted to explore further afield, you’ll be in the ideal location for sightseeing, with Antigua’s famed Shirley Heights and Nelson’s Dockyard both merely a stone’s throw away." - CNT Editors

"Even during Antigua Sailing Week, when English Harbour is chock-a-block with yachts from all over the world, the 28-room Inn at English Harbour remains serenely detached from the chaos. The inn is five minutes by water taxi from the center of things at historic Nelson’s Dockyard, but its tucked-away location on a white-sand beach backed by 19 leafy acres (and a no-kids-under-10 policy) ensures tranquility. Four snug rooms, with marble floors and queen beds, occupy two beachside cabanas, while 25 more generously proportioned suites, all with dark mahogany floors, four-poster king-size canopy beds, and verandas or balconies, are in three wooden buildings sitting farther back among the tropical greenery. Although the Terrace Restaurant and Stone Bar are in the property’s original stone house, the rooms, despite their colonial look, are relatively modern, which means there is a flat-screen TV, an iPod docking station, and Internet access."

Stumbled on this gem||on last years holiday whilst walking on the beach. A warm ||Welcome that day from Roberto and Stacy resulted in 6 of us booking for this year. Communication all year was prompt and informative. We had a wonderful warm welcome. The views from The Terrace blew us away.||Marianne, Jermel, Tussel, Stacy at the Reef were fabulous. Always knowing what we wanted to drink/eat. The buggy drivers were such fun. Capt Vere always made a point of talking to us daily. ||All the staff chatted to us. We felt like a part of the family. The cabana rooms are incredible. It was such a treat to wake up steps away from the sea and then have a lovely latte prepared by Jermel on the lawn overlooking the ocean. ||We are booking for next year. And we can’t wait. I work in the travel industry and can honestly say this was The Best Ever experience. And I’ve been coming to Antigua since 1997.

I can't imagine that there is a better and more beautiful place to stay in Antigua than the Inn at English Harbour. That said, there are a few areas that could use attention: 1) The A/C struggled to work in our second floor suite. It could be that any A/C unit would struggle to work in this heat and humidity, especially in an upper floor room, but still, we had some trouble sleeping due to the warmth of the room; 2) our mattress was a bit soft and we were told there were no boards or replacement mattresses available. Perhaps it is time to replace them; 3) the gym is truly pathetic. The so-called elliptical is about 100 years old and the so-called bike only faintly resembles an actual exercise bike. There is a reason no one ever uses this gym. I have been told that new equipment is on order and all I can say is that the sooner it gets there, the better; and 4) they actually charge $3/cup for the in-room coffee maker. I have NEVER seen that before in any of the hundreds of hotels I have stayed at through the years. The in-room coffee maker does not produce great coffee...it is a convenience provided to guests until they can get a good cup of coffee at a restaurant or coffee shop. Really...is the hotel that desperate for cash??? ||But these are relatively minor complaints for a hotel/resort that is truly beautiful with perhaps the friendliest staff I have ever seen anywhere. If I were to return to Antigua, I don't think I would even consider staying somewhere else.

We had a great stay. The location allowed us to get off resort easily if we wanted to. The hotel also provided plenty to do onsite. We enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking multiple days. The included fast track through immigration and customs made arrival a breeze and very comfortable.

We had the most incredible and relaxing stay at The Inn. The staff and management went above and beyond to ensure we received the very best care. The property itself is absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking views and exceptional attention to every detail of comfort and design. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough for anyone seeking pure luxury, impeccable service, and genuine hospitality in a truly picturesque setting. What more could you ask for?

Ate at the restaurant. Absolutely fabulous. Wonderful setting. Brilliant, attentive service. Food was delicious and not overly priced. Good wine list with sensibly priced wines. Cannot fault and will be back.

Just got back from a week at this marvellous hotel . It was the last week of the season but all the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. The rooms, the food, the pool and beach made for a really relaxing time. We took the courtesy boat across to Nelsons Dockyard a couple of time, but otherwise just enjoyed the ambience of the hotel. Would happily stay there again. Top marks to all the staff for their friendly attitude. We have travelled widely in the Caribbean but this was the best yet! p.s. make sure you try the afternoon tea.

We booked late and for the last few days of the season (early June). The hotel closed the day we left in fact. So our experience might not be typical in high season. Booked a beach cabana right ON the beach. Room is fine, fridge a bit noisy is all. TV reception not great. Service was excellent. Really friendly staff. Ate in first night but not good value. High price, average quality. Lovely grounds and a top beach, warm sea. Not cheap to stay but a good location (we hired a car and saw nowhere we would have preferred) and a nice treat.

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday in this superb hotel. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we really could not fault the service and facilities afforded to us. |It is nearing the end of the season and the hotel was quiet and peaceful - just what we like! Probably the loudest thing we heard during our stay was the bird song! |We stayed in a first floor junior suite, with ample room for the 2 of us and a beautiful balcony with views of the sea and pool. The furnishing and decoration was stylish and perfect and the bed / pillows extremely comfortable. |We stayed on an all inclusive basis - This included drinks, breakfast, a two course lunch in the beach front restaurant and three courses in the restaurant for dinner (though we couldn’t always manage all these courses and meals!) The quality of food was superb, the lunch time menu was varied with specials each day, often delicious salads which we particularly enjoyed. The evening menu did not have quite so much choice, but always delicious and extremely high quality meals and interspersed with an Italian menu and a bbq beach menu once a week. |What really made our holiday was the level of service we received. Every member of staff (from reception, guest services, restaurant staff, gardeners, groundskeepers, housekeeping, security guard, beach staff, the Captain on the small boat which provides a shuttle to Nelson’s Harbour, and the drivers, who provide a shuttle up and down the hill to the restaurant) were extremely helpful and so friendly, only too happy to help with anything at all. |Will we be back - yes I’ve no doubt. It was a perfect week! |Thank you
