Hermitage Bay

My wife and I loved our trip to Hermitage Bay. This sets the bar for food at a resort; the meals were varied, creative, locally inspired and delicious. The resort is beautiful; this is one of those places that you can spend your whole time on the beach and not need to rotate to the pool. Our only challenge was the room. When we first arrived, we were at the villa 2 down from the main building. The live music goes until 10 or 11 at night and was as clear as if the band was in our living room. The music is great… but we turn in early. If you’re the same, I’d request a villa further away or pay to be in one of the hillside villas.

Hermitage Bay in Antigua offers impeccable food, views, and service that left a lasting impression on my wife and I after staying there for our honeymoon. The attentiveness of the beach attendants was truly remarkable. Kyle would bring us fruit snacks just as we felt hungry, and Jesse would have beach chairs and an umbrella set up for us the moment we stood up from lunch. The bartenders were friendly and learned our drink preferences almost immediately. By the end of our stay, Stoney, Simone, and Anthony were mixing us curated cocktails that we’d never tried before (and now can’t stop thinking about). Simone sat down with us one night and gave us great recommendations for our island tour (booked by the resort) the next morning. The meals were each amazing and I echo the other great reviews, however the service and staff is why we’ll return to Hermitage Bay instead of another resort. Do yourself a favor and put this at the top of your list!

The resort staff will make you feel right at home. Everyone is so friendly and the service is unsurpassed. There's one restaurant to eat at, but the menu changes daily and even moreso weekly. Each meal time has delicious food options and you can also eat from the bar area during afternoon hours. Everything we tried was phenomenal. The resort has no background music - all you hear is the ocean and the trees rustling in the breeze. This place is a real beauty.

Stayed here for 10 nights in a pool villa, it was so peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. The spa, the food, and the service was amazing. Very small boutique feel, accommodating to anything we desired, and really fun moments of music, drinks, during dinner. Menu is expansive and changes daily and all included. They are willing to send to the room or dine in - which we did a mix of both. I found Antigua to be very fun and relaxing overall. Truly beautiful spot. Note: use the bug spray! Got bit like crazy and didn't use the free bug spray they put in the room.
