The reviews about this property being outdated and the rooms being subpar are indeed correct. We had a room with one king bed and it was tiny. Hardly room for our luggage. We found the food to be average - not bad but not great. The beach and pool areas are absolutely beautiful - and where we spent most of our daytime. The water is very calm and warm, great for floating with a nice cocktail 😊. The grill at the beach/pool had great food! We really enjoyed being within walking distance to the Jolly Harbour marina. We went there most nights to the other bars, restaurants to listen to live music and one night we did eat off property - Sea Dream - which was excellent.

Beware, the photo of the room and description said 2 twin beds. Apparently we were informed this was an old photo and these rooms were no longer available. we asked to be moved as our room was located on the main path of other guest coming back late (gone midnight) and deciding to have a chat outside our room! Luckily the staff were helpful and we were moved to a quieter location the following day. The room original room was tired, the shower pressure was extremely poor, wardrobe door was hanging off its runners and the A/C unit was noisy, if you turned it off it leaked! The Staff themselves are very helpful and continually display a happy nature. Margaret at the tour desk was very helpful to all and any of needs. On the beach there are Kayaks, SUPs, Snorkelling equipment and a Hobi cat available for use.

The property is big , poolside bars , the beach is beautiful! The food was great the staff were so pleasant and helpful any hour. Now the room ehhh they are a bit tiny but for the price it’s not bad. You come on vacation to enjoy the island so you’re not in your room anyway. It should be only to sleep lol so it did suffice for me! I loved and will be returning!!!

I was unaware that you don’t get daily turn down service unless you stay 7 days or more. If you need clean towels or sheets you have to request it and change the bed on your own.

Staff is very friendly! They work extremely hard and are often under appreciated by the guests. Although it is an all-inclusive resort, we did tip servers & bartenders (housekeeping is a separate service fee). The resort is in serious need of repairs and updating. Rooms are outdated. Limited outlets for charging. Beach towels are readily available & you can swap out wet/dirty towels for clean ones. The pools are clean and well placed. Plenty of lounge chairs. The beach is gorgeous! Some of the palapas (beach cabanas) have rotting roofs. We did see some construction taking place, so perhaps there will be improvements in the near future. Limited dining options: one buffet for breakfast & dinner; one poolside grill for lunch; one formal dining area that has limited seating & requires same day reservations. There is a coffee bar but the guests seem to outpace the staff’s ability to replenish the coffee quickly enough. There are panhandlers on the beach. Some are looking to book you on excursions, some are selling wares, others are looking for free food, drink & cash handouts. There are security guards hired by the resort, but unless you tell security that you don’t want to be approached by panhandlers, security will ignore the panhandlers and you will be continuously approached. All non-motorized activities are included but you need to be aware of the jet skiers who race up & down the shoreline. Mosquitos/sand flies abound at dawn/dusk. We brought deet wipes & were fine.

Although the rooms are very small and dated, the beach is gorgeous. The staff was friendly. It would have been nice if they had two restaurants instead of just one, but overall the food wasn't bad. The bars were great! I had an issue with the use of a paddle board and was restricted to how long and where I could use it.

We traveled to jolly resort last week. Overall we enjoyed the beach and view from the room but we felt room service wasn’t the greatest. They charge an additional fee of $20 US dollars a day for stay. It’s supposed to cover for WiFi and other stuff but WiFi wasn’t the greatest. they don’t clean the rooms unless you stay for atleast 7 days nd if not you have to pay $10 US dollars a day. Room doesn’t provide a refrigerator or water so we recommend buying water or groceries in a near store by the hotel it’s way cheaper than the store inside the hotel.. Overall the food was good, beach is amazing… for an all inclusive resort I think it was worth it. Just for FYI all the rooms are facing the beach.

I must say that the water at Jolly beach is beautiful!!!! The Staff weren’t as friendly as you would think. The food options were limited. The property itself is dated. There’s currently construction being done on some of the ground level units, which brings the noise early in the morning. We will definitely visit Antigua again, but we will stay at a different resort.

The best thing about the resort is the beach it's situated along. The resort itself is quiet. Room: Stayed in Standard King. Room size is sufficient. Cleanliness is lacking. Daily room service is only offered with an extra fee, but I would expect to at least start with a very clean room. Bed (firm) & sheets were comformable & clean, but surfaces & floors did not look clean & the whole room definitely needed general maintenance & upkeep. Room temperature was conformable. Resort grounds: Rundown, but overall looked clean. Definitely lacking in general maintenance. The hedges by the coffee area were overgrown, so you could not enjoy the full view of beach. Lawn maintenance did show up when we were there, but still did not trim the bushes. The gym: Very rundown & lacking, preferred workouts from my patio vs the gym. Food & drinks: Buffet food was sufficient. No room service or snack bar available. Hard to make it to breakfast (7am-10:30am) with time change, but it was nice to have coffee available from 7am-10pm & water all day. Most days had lunch at Coconut Grill - great lunch options (hamburgers, wings, wraps, salads, etc.) Buffet dinner options were good. Did not make reservations @ Pizza Factory. Entertainment: Provided each night from around 7-10pm around the Long Bar. Very basic with a singer, karaoke, or a DJ, but it was fine. Service: Service was hit or miss. Most times we had to get our own drinks from buffet. Most bar tenders were good. Beach: Gorgeous & quiet

Bad experience

Not so good experience. Reception check-in staff not so friendly - they made us wait even though the room was ready. There was no water supply in the washrooms at all. When we got to the room, there was not a drop of water in the sink or shower. After few hours, water supply was restored. Although all-inclusive, no mini bar in the room or even bottled water. Only one restaurant that gets filled with reservations when we had to stand in line in the morning to make reservation. Not a good place to stay.
