St. John's Hotel Guide - Prickly Pear Island hotels in St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our first trip to Antigua and stay at Royalton CHIC Antigua exceeded every expectation! Ignore the negative reviews and go with an open mind. The resort is smaller, peaceful, relaxing, and far more personal than the huge crowded all inclusives we usually visit. Our clean third-floor room overlooked the quiet pool, and the sunsets were absolutely unreal. Photos truly do not capture Antigua’s beauty. The staff was kind, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. Anytime we needed our minibar refilled, it was handled quickly. What impressed me most was how seriously they took my severe shellfish/seafood allergies. Every restaurant and buffet asked about allergies, and servers reassured me meals were prepared carefully. I have NEVER felt safer eating anywhere, even in the US. The highlight of our trip was CHEF FRANCIS. After meeting him during Antigua Night and complimenting both his food and karaoke skills, he surprised our group with a complimentary private dinner. It was honestly Michelin-level. Every dish was perfection, including filet, chicken skewers, scalloped potatoes, and banana flambé. One person in our group adds salt and pepper to EVERYTHING and didn’t touch either shaker. That says it all! Huge thank you as well to Jenin and bartenders Jayson, Diane, and Rachel for making our stay unforgettable. We also explored Antigua with an amazing local driver, Kareem Benjamin, who showed us St. John’s, Jolly Beach, Shirley Heights, and Galleon Beach where we snorkele"

"Wonderful site and great service."

"Position, owners and “at home feeling” were just great. Recommended."

"Everything was outstanding…property was beautiful and well maintained, staff were all very friendly and helpful ( special shout to Tiquesha the concierge who helped us plan all our dinner reservations and chartered snorkeling/boat trip). Beach and pools were spectacular and the restaurants had great food and selections. Will definitely be back again!"

"Would recommend to anyone!"

"It was, as advertised."

"Overall experience was excellent Description of BnB is on point Location is centralized,very safe and clean"

"The staff were lovely, and the property itself is in a great position overlooking the ocean. It was so nice having our breakfast on the terrace overlooking the pool to the ocean, with pelicans flying by & rays jumping! Our room was very spacious, although there were no windows, so not the ocean view we were expecting.. Several very handy restaurants just over the road meant we did not need to drive in the evenings. "

"Check in was excellent, the property owner contacted us the day before and sent detailed instructions with a Google pin, the wife and I had rented a car and had no problems getting to the property.If you are looking for a quiet relaxing stay that you do not feel pressured I highly recommend this property. We enjoyed the tranquility the property offered.The property is very well maintained and extremely clean.We were located within 10 minutes of several beautiful beaches, “Runaway Beach” we enjoyed and visited almost daily. This is the same beach shared with a couple of very pricy resorts. There is no cover charge to use the beach. Jolly Beach about 20-25 minutes away offers umbrellas and lounge chairs also bar/food for moderate cost, along with souvenirs.St John’s was a 20 minute drive to the Quay which offered souvenirs and local shops. Car rental is a must, due to the roads in Antigua particularly the numerous speed bumps an SUV with high clearance is strongly recommended. The people of Antigua are by far the most friendly and welcoming of all the places we have visited."
