Frommer's Review

Giving every first-class resort in the Caribbean a serious run for its money is this stunner. It's the most opulent, most luxurious, and best-accessorized hotel in Antigua, with a European flair that fits into what's left of the island's English colonial overlay. Set on a picture-perfect bay, the resort offers every luxe amenity from a world-class spa and a movie theater, to tennis pros to serious cuisine. The Beach Suites are steps away from the water. Best of all, there's a sense of whimsical fun associated with a stay at this resort. The Carlisle Suites are the biggest units, with three bedrooms, a sitting room, and a kitchen. The resort's entire collection of furniture, all dark Indonesian teak and creamy Italian upholstery, is custom-made, all of it supremely comfortable, stylish, and with lots of pizzazz.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 3 bars; outdoor pool; 9 tennis courts (4 lit for night play); state-of-the-art fitness gym; full-service spa; boat excursions; dive center; children's programs; movie theater; library; shopping; room service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
