The location of this resort is amazing. The beach is beautiful. This resort has everything you need. My only complaint is this place needs serious renovations. With some updates this would be a perfect place. If I had the money I would invest into it myself.

This place is perfect for adults looking to relax and soak in the tranquility this beautiful island/resort have to offer. You do not see crazy crowds, loud activities or loudness events. The resort is being updated, which is great, because the rooms need it. I would however would love to see another restaurant beside the Pizza restaurant, Pool bar, and the buffet. Maybe add an Asian restaurant to accommodate different taste buds. Overall it was my first time there and I'd definitely go back.

The resort itself is nice enough, clean and fair size. With a beautiful beach. The buildings look good from the outside. The bedroom, with double bed, was very small, with only a bed. No area inside to sit. The bathroom was tiny, small showerstall and no room at all in the toilet- sink area. Definitely needs to be modernized. Staff is very friendly and helpful; food is good and plenty of choice. The a-la-carte restaurant had fantastic food. The snackbar is open from 11-6, with fast food options, which was good.

This resort is "you get what you paid for." We did the all inclusive which we loved for drink purposes. The buffet was average and seemed like same type of food but prepared in a different way. After a few days, we werent looking forward to eating there. The Coconut Grille was fantastic with made to order choices. If you get up early enough, you can add your name to reservations for Pizza Factory. That place was the star of the resort in relation to food! Staff and food was amazing!!! We reserved a King room with ocean view. The room is tiny and outdated. No fridge in room so it was hard to keep anything cool and at drinkable temperature without constantly going to one of the bars to get ice. We also had the tiniest sliver of ocean view if you squinted long enough to see it. The beach here was absolutely fantastic and amazing and beautiful from every angle! Plenty of free beach chairs! Overall, we do think we got what we paid for (for the most part).

The beach was wonderful. The water is calm, and the sand is soft. The view is very nice. If you plan to spend most of your time on the beach, then Jolly Beach Hotel will do. The Hotel is basic, and the food is good.

We loved the beach and it's beauty. Gorgeous sunsets. We enjoyed the Coconut Bar and the Grill as well as the Long Bar. Some of the staff were very friendly and comfortable to be around. Others like Margaret were not so nice; she was a bit harsh to us. We spoke to other guests that had the same experience with Margaret who was in charge of dinner reservations and excursions. She should be easy to approach and we should be able to ask questions without getting lectured or made to feel uncomfortable. For a place named Jolly Beach, they need to encourage the staff to be jolly/happy! The manager we saw on a video promoting the place was there often and he never asked anyone how things were going; I don't think he ever smiled. I think if he cared about the guests, he would ask. The food was cold most of the time. The rooms needed a deep cleaning. A little bleach might help the bathrooms smell clean.

There has been vast improvements at Jolly Beach over the last few years. We had a great time. The people were fantastic and the property was very clean. The only critics of our room would be the shower faucets need changed and our guest room sink was very slow to drain. We cannot wait to go back to Jolly Beach Antigua!
