The ocean view is amazing, sunsets and rises are spectacular. Building is ok, rooms are small and out dated, bed was comfortable. Food options were adequate. Pool bar ran out of vodka for two days and then ran out of coke. Other bars had the liquor so I didn't understand why they couldn't get it from another bar so they didn't inconvenience their cutsomers.

Disappointed with the Resort, but Antigua Itself is Amazing I recently stayed at Jolly Beach Resort in Antigua and was disappointed with the experience. While the pools were nice and the beach was absolutely stunning, the resort itself was very bare minimum. Unfortunately, the food and drinks left a lot to be desired—lacking quality and variety. I wouldn’t recommend the all-inclusive option here. Half of the staff were so nice, the other half did not want to be there. If you wanted a water you would get an eye roll. The beach, although beautiful, had some litter like beer bottle caps and fruit left behind by guests, which was a bit disappointing. That said, Antigua as a destination was incredible. Everything outside the resort—from the food to the atmosphere—was far better. Next time, I would explore a different accommodation option and skip the all-inclusive.

Every single staff member there seemed like they hated working there. Literally every one of them was rude and you could tell they didn't want to be working there. The property is straight out of the 70s and needs a ton of work/updating. The property was very dirty and not well maintained. I do not recommend staying here.

We really wanted to like this property and went into it with no expectations however this place was completely run down and old. We’ll start with the Pros: •Beaches are beautiful •The resort is well spaced out and even though this was a holiday with a full resort, we never felt like we were on top of others, having plenty of space. Never had trouble finding a chair by the pool or beach. •Service at the restaurant and bars was decent. You could definitely tell some worked harder than others. The CONS: •Oh my goodness this place is so OLD! Imagine an old motel from 1980 and that’s exactly what this place is and has not been upgraded since it was built. Closed after Covid and reopened 2023 •upon check in, you will receive a physical key for your room and another physical key for your safe box. There is only a door knob for your room door. The buildings are so old, the room doors are hard to open and you are awaken every time a neighbor has to slam their door shut. •these rooms are TINY and the bathroom is the size of a cruise ship. There are no electrical outlets in the bathroom and only TWO total outlets in the entire room. •The shower was so small! We did have hot water however the water pressure in the shower was a slow trickle. •The patio furniture is cheap and not comfortable. Views from the rooms are mostly blocked unless you happen to get a top floor •the beach is NOT private and full of vendors. Stay away from the right side which is full of cruise ship guests.
