We enjoyed our 2 week stay (Jan/Feb) in Peter's apartment and explored much of Antigua as we had rented a Jeep for the entire duration. Antigua is our favorite Caribbean island to date! We made friends instantly, everywhere we went. We felt so welcomed nearly everywhere. We met the head chef at Catherine's and ended up eating or grabbing drinks there several times, including our last night. We also met and talked with the owner at Club Sushi and had wonderful sushi there a few times. Our favorite spot was Half Moon Bay and Beach Bum's where we ate lunch a few times, and really enjoyed the food and staff there. Other places we ate were Trappas, Cloggys, OJs, Ana's, Dennis, Sheer Rocks, and Mama Pasta.
Beaches we visited outside the resort: Half Moon Bay, Pigeon Point Beach, Long Bay, Turner's Beach, Ffryes Beach, Love Beach, Coco Beach, Dickenson Beach, and Green Island. Our favorite was Half Moon Bay but they all had very good qualities and some differences to them that made them all unique and enjoyable. We had Green Island to ourselves for a few hours one day and that was awesome too.
We really enjoyed the apartment and we would definitely consider renting it again if/when we visit Antigua. We liked the "quietness" of Nonsuch Bay resort. We didn't feel it was too far away from anything and loved waking up and having breakfast on the terrace with the amazing views. We otherwise didn't spend too much time at the resort other than maybe 4 days total, which included Green Island one day and Stand-Up-Paddleboard downwind from Green Island one day.
We were glad to have towels, chairs and an umbrella to use from the apartment and we packed them and our own small soft sided cooler every day to take to the beaches.
Overall a great experience!
