Shore Excursion: City of St John's Sightseeing Tour
"The views from our room were amazing! The staff were all very helpful, and polite. I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The room was very big and nice. The shower was excellent!
I think they need new towels, and if they are going to wash the guest clothes they should add fabric softener to give the clothes a nice smell. The clothes were clean, but no added fresh smell like at home."
"When you get to the property it’s a bit hard to find where to go but once you do everyone was very nice. The room was clean, would have liked a kettle and some cups/glasses in the room.

"The Buccaneer Beach Club was perfect stay. The staff friendly especially Candace at Front Desk. The grounds well kept. My room was immaculate. I would definitely stay there again. If there is a downside, which there is not. The Buccaneer does not host an eatery, but why would it. You have a kitchen to cook your own food. Microwave, hot stove, etc. Next door is the Salt Plage which has good food. Great staff too!"

From the very first day, I felt more like a guest staying with friends than at a hotel. That personal touch is exactly what makes Northshore so special and sets it apart from many larger all-inclusive resorts on Antigua.
The location directly at Hodges Bay is beautiful — peaceful, relaxing, and with stunning ocean views. I especially...
