“We have just arrived back in the UK from the most amazing 10 night stay at the Carlisle Bay. From the moment we landed in Antigua we were looked after from start to finish. The 2 bedroom ocean suite was beautiful very modern and a view like no other. The food is amazing, every restaurant and every dish that we tried especially the coconut shrimp starter a firm favourite. The sea is so calm and loved having the option of the pool too. The staff are amazing and are on hand to help with anything you may need. We felt like we wasn't ready to leave as it was such a relaxing holiday and so lovely to switch off and relax. Will definitely return in the future. Thank you to everyone at the hotel for making our stay a memorable one.”

“Carlisle Bay is a really wonderful property! It felt very spacious and uncrowded while still maintaining a lively buzz that you would expect in the Caribbean. There was an amazing choice of restaurants which meant you would never get bored of the food options. The sushi at East was a real highlight, as was the exceptional service and Caribbean food at the Jetty bar & grill. The staff were all so friendly and helpful - for me it was the people and the food that really set the resort apart.

Be sure to take a trip out on the resort's boat - we did a sunset cruise as well as a snorkelling trip and both were great fun. That said, if you simply take a snorkel or kayak out into the bay in front of the hotel you have a high chance of spotting turtles - we were there in May and saw so many!

Thank you so much to everyone at Carlisle Bay for your incredible hospitality, I will definitely be back!”

“I would recommend this hotel to everyone. We flew back today from the most wonderful holiday. It was perfect. We travelled as a family with teenagers and it was perfect for everyone. We used the tennis courts everyday and these are in the process of being updated. The watersports were fab however the lage boat hire is too expensive. The food is incredible. A huge variety from BBQ to fine dining. The real winner is the staff. Every single person working there is so super friendly and helpful. A special mention to Sheena in one of the restaurants who managed our large table perfectly and also to J-eice on the beach. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Rene the tennis coach is lovely and helped every level of player. The gym is fab and super cool. The rooms are excellent and spacious however i would split the bathroom in our suite to have two bathrooms rather than one very large one. A definite hit. I don’t think you could go wrong booking here. Well done Carlisle Bay, a superb operation.”

“We've been to some amazing resorts throughout the world but Carlisle Bay Antigua tops them all. The hotel is run impeccably with service that is truly top rated. People of Antigua have the politeness of the British with the warmth of the Caribbean. From our room, lying on the day bed we could enjoy the view of the crystal clear calm bay waters while sipping a cup of coffee or one of the many complementary treats in the provided in the room or perhaps ordering from the inclusive room service. Walking out the front door, the pool was just across the path walk. The yoga and tennis instructors at Carlisle were both fantastic and gave the attention as a teacher would to a permanent student. The paddle boats, canoes and water bikes were lots of fun though I think if it had been more crowded, it may have not been enough. There are three restaurants and four cuisines to choose from. Each one excellent. I can't say enough about the service. Friendly, warm, aiming to please and going over and beyond but never smothering.”
