The facility grounds are well manicured and maintained. Most staff were friendly and welcoming to the island. Chickpeas without issues. We were shown to the room and oriented to fun cycle tv, air control ,safe and keys. Our home was spacious and nicely furnished. We were disappointed with the advertises service limited availability (9-5, 3 days/week), which conflicted with beach times during the day. Some even inputs would have been nice. The club associated cafe across the street was very welcomed, for breakfast (did not accept credit cards/EC only); male staff was so friendly. Nice having beach towels and coffee in the hotel courtyard. Excellent accommodations for the price.

Thinnest walls ever

Stayed at AYC Marina Hotel for a few days during low season and was alarmed by the multiple emails I received alerting me to loud music and the need for good earplugs. At check-in, the very warm and friendly receptionist said those warnings are more for high season.

Stayed at AYC Marina Hotel for a few days during low season and was alarmed by the multiple emails I received alerting me to loud music and the need for good earplugs. At check-in, the very warm and friendly receptionist said those warnings are more for high season.
Hotel is quaint, room is decent size with a straight-on view of the marina. Very walkable location right on the marina surrounded by restaurants, bars and close to the dive shops.
Room cleanliness was just okay with some visible stains on the tiles and grubby switches, but easy to forgive because linens were spotless and smelled freshly laundered. Mattress was very very firm.
Earplugs were not needed for music, however, the walls are the thinnest I have ever experienced to the point of feeling like I was sharing a room with my neighbors. I could literally hear my neighbor open and eat a bag of chips, roll over in bed, and adjust the AC. I was awoken multiple times by their snoring and night terrors. You hear everything that happens in the common areas as well. Don't plan on having any private conversations while you're here.
If you don't rent a car, a taxi from the airport is a flat rate of $48 USD, or shuttle is $60 USD.

This was my first trip to Antigua and definitely not my last. This will be a lasting experience. I met Alfonso on the phone who recommend that I book room 42&43 together. Very good choice. The staff was hospitable and very friendly. I want to give a big shout out to ALFONSO. He went above and beyond to make sure our stay as a group would be a lasting experience. Tanieka our house keeper kept our surroundings clean. Jason was very helpful. Meechi completed our reservation on line. I loved the ambiance of the Hotel and the well kept grounds .From the birds chirping in the mornings to the crickets at nights, to the laundry lady Marsha it was an awesome experience. I have already recommended it to my friends and will definitely be returning. Thanks for a wonderful stay and courteous and kind staff.

Antigua Yacht Club Marina Resort (Falmouth): Cold Showers but Prime Location & Spa

The Antigua Yacht Club Marina Resort is in a great location. It’s a short walk to the Boom restaurant on a hill nearby. It’s also a close walk to Nelson’s Dockyard, which includes Pillar’s restaurant, Copper & Lumber restaurant, the boats you can take to Brasserie & Incanto (if you call the restaurants they will send the boats), some boutique…

The Antigua Yacht Club Marina Resort is in a great location. It’s a short walk to the Boom restaurant on a hill nearby. It’s also a close walk to Nelson’s Dockyard, which includes Pillar’s restaurant, Copper & Lumber restaurant, the boats you can take to Brasserie & Incanto (if you call the restaurants they will send the boats), some boutique shops, & a dock boatyard.
The hotel was exactly what we were looking for: we didn’t need anything too fancy and wanted something that wasn’t too expensive. Our room was nice with a view of the Harbour and a yacht. The hotel was low on amenities- no pool or gym (got burned down in a fire) but did have a spa.
I got a great 1-hour deep tissue massage and I highly recommend it. I would go back to get a massage there if I was staying at this hotel or one in the area!
The only complaint I have for this hotel is that the shower water was cold. I would have given a 4-star review except my room had cold water for both nights. I would only stay at this hotel again if they improved the shower temperature or else I’d rather pay more per night at a hotel and get a warmer shower.
If you’re looking for a fancier hotel that is more expensive but has all amenities, I recommend The Inn right on Galleon Beach or Admiral Inn in Falmouth.
