This hotel has it all and will be hard to top! Beach is gorgeous, food is delicious with great variety and the service is top-notch. Definitely stay in one of the courtyard suites with or without a pool which are just a quick walk to the paradise-like beach. Can't beat these rooms - beautifully decorated, incredibly spacious- feels like you're in a vila and extremely comfortable bed! Every room gets bikes which are great to explore the island.

Absolutely beautiful hotel! Service was impeccable and the villas were very clean. Food is excellent as well but the evenings are very quiet at this hotel. Opt for the hillside villa for the plunge pool and stunning views! Only real complaint was getting used to the loud birds that would start just before sunrise...you're definitely immersed in nature here!

I completely agree with the other reviewers who have praised hosts/owners Gabriella and Doug: they are the best! Rather than repeating, I'll try to add points that I don't see covered elsewhere.
The cottages are simple, functional, and well-designed. The kitchen was remarkably well equipped and cooking in it was a pleasure. We are not chefs, but preparing meals was enjoyable thanks to the organized and complete kitchen. The veranda was a perfect spot for breakfast and dinner.

This resort is a such a special place where every staff makes each guest feel welcome and a part of the Curtain Bluff family. The rooms are spotlessly clean, the beach is gorgeous and the food wonderful. No details are overlooked - you never have to carry a towel as you arrive each morning to a beautifully manicured beach and lounge chairs set for all resort guests. The bar service is wonderful and the wines, particularly those we chose from the wine cellar were some of the best we have ever...

This was my second time starting on this property, Nicollete is so sweet I believe she is the property manager. She accommodated me because I needed to check in a day early, the property is always quiet. All the apartments are gated in, it’s a nice beach maybe 7 mins away driving. And a nice pool on the grounds of the apartments.

This hotel was just what we needed. Total relaxation and tranquility. If you want nightlife and excitement, DO NOT go to Keyonna. However, if you want to disconnect from life, enjoy the best beach I have ever seen, then run....don't walk....to Keyonna Beach.
Food was great, and plenty of choices. GM of the hotel is the best.
Go....relax....and be spiritually and physically reborn!!!

One of a kind. Jackie made our final day, post a week of sailing Antigua, an exceptional personalized experience. If you are looking for special. local. visit The Villas at Sunset Lane. Jackie, she is caring and authentic. She personally drove us to the beach and to dinner per her recommendation. A trained chef, she prepared a us local breakfast -- amazing! I'd be amiss not to my panic losing my cell phone in the car ride back to the airport ... we reached back and her driver returned within 10...

My sister and I stayed at this wonderful Villa for 4 days and 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the view and accommodation. The villa is located close to restaurants and the English Harbor - since it was Covid season the times of many establishments have changed but we ate at many of the local spots recommend by Calvin. If you are ever in Antigua and looking for a warm atmosphere filled with beautiful people and views stay here! We will definitely be back, see u next time Calvin.

Spent 9 nights there and had a great time. Location is right on a beach in Dickensen Bay. We were there during the off season, so many days the beach had very few people on it except for two days. One day a cruise ship was in St. John's and passengers came to the beach; the other day a group of local children had a birthday party on the beach. Beach at Buccaneer has great water and sun but nothing to see for snorkelers. Rented a car so we could go all over the island including meeting tours...

Beautiful location right by the beach, just a quick bus or cab ride away from swim beaches and restaurants. Rose is incredible, so accommodating, gave great suggestions for locations and cab services.

Adriano and Bancroft were super friendly and welcoming. When I checked in at 5pm and interacted with both hosts, I couldn’t stop smiling. Excellent service, they’re both very detailed and charming. Ambience and aesthetics - 10/10. Would stay at Tamarind every given opportunity.

We had a lovely, relaxing and inspiring visit during which we came to feel that our cottage at the ocean was our home. The hotel was friendly, quiet, private and clean. The staff was helpful and the owner, Robert, was always super charming and available. We are already planning our next visit. Highly recommended!

My wife and I visited Cocos for our honeymoon and had a great time. The views of the ocean are beautiful and the hotel grounds are covered with amazing, colorful flowers. The rooms feel secluded and unique. The staff is friendly and the food was good. If you are considering visiting Cocos, it's important to understand that this is a unique experience and not the Ritz-Carlton. While the rooms are very nice, the property has a bit of a rustic feel to it. Also, it's not loaded with the same...
