I don’t usually write reviews for places but I felt compelled to after our stay at Nonsuch. We stayed here for our Honeymoon and it was hands down the best experience we’ve ever had! The staff were fantastic, the rooms (and plunge pool) were absolutely excellent, and the food was stupendous. What we loved was that even though there was only one restaurant, there was an A La Carte menu with different offerings everyday! The location is stunning - wonderfully peaceful and serene if that’s what you’re looking for. As it’s a small hotel you get chatting to a lot of other holiday makers at the bar or by the pool: it has a really intimate feel! If you’re looking for a lazy holiday, Nonsuch is perfect. We also hired a Jeep Wrangler for 3 days and that was great as we were able to see some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean and taste some of the local delicacies. So in effect at Nonsuch you get the best of both worlds - nice peaceful location, and if you want to see more of the island, you can hire a car for a few days!! You can also book excursions through Nonsuch - we recommend the turtle snorkling, the island picnic and and Lobster Cruise (lots of rum!! 🍹) Thank you Nonsuch for making our stay so special and helping us create some unforgettable memories - we’ve already recommended the resort to several of our friends.

We really enjoyed this place. It was small and intimate only 40 rooms and when we arrived there was only half full. The nature of place being so small means you get to know lots of people and have good laughs. The room was amazing we had a Bayview room and took advantage of the view every night.

The nature of place being so small means you get to know lots of people and have good laughs. The room was amazing we had a Bayview room and took advantage of the view every night. Staff excellent as well. The à la cart menu was delicious. We didn’t have a bad meal and although the portions are smallish , you felt full and didn’t overeat as you can with buffet service. Several starter, mains and desserts available. They only letdown I could find was the beach. It’s only a 10 minute walk away up and down hill ( courtesy lift available too) which kept us fit after breakfast. Whilst the beach and the palm trees were an ideal setting, the bay itself is mainly full of seaweed and not the crystal blue waters associated with the Caribbean. Overall fantastic break Really enjoyed it. Read less

Simply this place is fantastic! Yes it is remote, so if you are someone who wants to do things hiring a car is necessary, but if like us you simply want to chill out it is spot on! Wonderful rooms (we had a garden view - plunge pool ace), great staff and wonderful food! Some may not like the lack of buffet a turn off, but ordering from a menu each… Read more

Wonderful rooms (we had a garden view - plunge pool ace), great staff and wonderful food! Some may not like the lack of buffet a turn off, but ordering from a menu each mealtime was super and meant fresh cooked food! And at lunchtime, if at the beach, the Panini’s were great. So many lovely people but particular shout outs to Keisha on reception, Maxine, Naisha and Ivanna in the restaurant and finally Wane and Ronaldo in the bar who all went over and above to make it a great holiday! We will be back…. Read less

You could pay more for the sea view but just opening the bedroom door in the morning to the sights and sounds of the forest and blast of that hot, humid was (for an Englishman) just lovely.

Rooms are clean and spacious and private from the other guests. The resort is quite remote but that makes it very quiet and personal. No over crowded bar or restaurants. Food was top quality and liked the way we could sneek back drinks to our room and plunge in our own pool in the afternoon sun and heat. Staff was amazing and friendly (as it everyone in Antigua). Beautiful place to relax. Read less

Excellent resort, staff couldn’t do enough for you, husband had a fall whilst we was away and the staff all looked after him, they even moved our room so he didn’t need to navigate steps. Food was great menu changed everyday. Rooms all lovely a tray even provided to help you carry drinks back to the room. Will return in the future
