The location is perfect!No complaints about the beautiful beach, bar, or the food at the outdoor restaurantThere is only one option for dinner and that is the buffet.They try to have different food every night but overall the food was just ok.Breakfast/lunch were pretty much the same every day.They do not have enough staffing and therefor you dont get housekeeping unless you pay for the upgraded room and even with that we only got our room cleaned twice during an 8 day stay.We were not happy about the room and when asked about an upgrade they said they could not do it and needed permission from a higher supervisor that was only there during the morning.We paid for an ocean view with a king size be and they said they did not have any king size beds on any other floor other than the bottom level.Our view was not the best even though we paid for it.There were not that many people at the resort and therefor should've been able to accommodate a free upgrade to the next level room and to the third floor but they wouldn't do it. We were extremely disapointed by that.We got to the resort after a long day of travel and they did not have any water dispenser or water bottles to offer.They had some welcoming drinks off to the side sitting in the hot sun but that was not even offered to us or any of the other 10-15 guests who were ahead of us also checking in.They only had 1 person working the front desk.There was an empty fridge in the room, not what you expect from all inclusive resort

We really enjoyed our stay. Since it was the off season and the weather was iffy, we weren't sure what to expect. Although they were doing maintenance because of the time of year, I'm happy to say that the property exceeded our expectations. The food was quite good, the rooms were clean and comfortable, the facilities themselves were in good shape overall, and because it was off season, it was easy to hang out in a variety of places without being crowded. We had a few torrential downpours with thunder & lightning and the seating under the covered areas was a bit limited, but the staff worked hard to make sure everyone was comfortable wherever they decided to hang out. It was a great stay and we wouldn't hesitate to go back, especially in the off season.

Very basic property where my business partner and I had to request room changes due to not having hot water. Dinning is very limited with only one restaurant open - Italian several days of the week and Indian buffet another. Hair in the bathroom and shower. Rooms are outdated

This property is definitely on one of the best beaches in Antigua. However the rooms definitely need an upgrade and the food options are very minimal and there is basically little to no entertainment. There are definitely pros and cons.

Avoid at all costs. Jolly Beach Hotel is a disaster. The place looks like it hasn’t been touched since the 70s, everything is old, tatty, and literally falling apart. Rooms smell damp, paint is peeling, furniture is broken, and the whole place feels neglected. The so-called “all inclusive” is poor, with bland food and watered-down drinks. Staff seem tired of apologising for things not working. Honestly, it’s more depressing than relaxing – avoid at all costs unless you like staying in a crumbling ruin.
