Ocean Point Resort & Spa

Antigua, Caribbean

Virgin rating

The hotel

At times you’ll get the impression you’re in the heart of Italy – at others there’s no denying you’re in the Caribbean. Exclusively for adults, Ocean Point Resort & Spa is a kick-off-your-flip flops fusion of the idyllic Med and the exotic Tropics. From its gardens, where bougainvillea grows among palm trees, to its fabulous Sottovento Beach Club, where chefs will use fresh island produce as you dine just steps from the sea. This may be a far cry from home, with its huge beachfront pool and two seductively sandy coves, but the family owners have created a truly homely space, complete with a resident cat and dog, informal yet comfy guest rooms, and day trips for snorkelling and turtle spotting.

We stayed for 6 nights in mid November. We were looking for a peaceful hotel with a beach and a pool, with an all inclusive offer. We were not disappointed.  We enjoyed a sea/pool view room on an upper floor.  As  we were a little out of season the hotel was super quiet, which was fine for us.   The room was a reasonable size , clean and comfortable with a small fridge. A balcony with a couple  of chairs to soak up the view. Be mindful of the mosquitoes which are about in the evening and early morning (take some repellent spray). We didn't find them a real problem. The bathroom was a bit compact, especially the shower, but it was ok for our needs. Not so much storage space apart from a couple of shelves and an open hanging space. There were a couple of water bottles in the fridge on arrival. These are not replaced, and in the interests of sustainability, you are encouraged to use the free flow water station in the lobby to refill whenever you need. A good idea. Coffee and tea is also available on demand in the lobby. Be aware there are no lifts in the hotel, so if negotiating stairs is a problem, I suggest requesting a ground floor room. The pool area is pretty large, and the pool is great for swimming lengths if you're looking to keep fit. Plenty of sun beds and we never saw it anywhere near full. There are two beaches, both with sunbeds and shade. Again, really peaceful with only the sound of the sea lapping on the sand to be heard. On one of the days, a party from a cruise ship arrived to spend the day on the beach. There were still no problems getting a sunbed. There is a single restaurant, the Sottovento, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast was a comprehensive a la carte offer and cooked fresh. We didn't take lunch but went for a bar snack each day. There was a good choice and portions were good. The drinks available at the bar were based around rum, gin or vodka plus mixers. Anything else was chargeable. Dinner was a set menu of four courses with a choice for each. The restaurant is Italian style and I have to say the food was excellent! During our 5 days, the menu did not repeat. The staff were all friendly and courteous, and service was always quick. In some cases we had to ask for a pause between courses. Special mention for Brian at the bar and Tamique in the restaurant, who really went the extra mile with their friendly chat and style. The hotel is not in walking distance to anywhere (maybe "Le Bistro" French restaurant up the road) and you would need a taxi or a hire car to get anywhere. Taxi to the airport was 10 mins and USD20. Taxi to English Harbour (worth a visit) was 45 mins and USD45 each way. The only point I would pick up on was the toiletries in the room. This was the only hotel on our trip (we stayed at 4 different places) which did not offer any body lotion/moisturiser in the room (and we did check with reception) and the liquid soap by the sink and in the shower was so thin it was like water. To me this was penny pinching and not what we expected for a USD600+ per night establishment. Overall , we enjoyed our stay immensely and would recommend the hotel if you are looking for a very quiet and relaxing stay. Read less

We have just returned from our fourth visit to the Ocean Point Hotel. It just gets better! We travelled as a party of four and cannot wait to return in January.

We have just returned from our fourth visit to the Ocean Point Hotel. It just gets better! We travelled as a party of four and cannot wait to return in January. When we scan through the many five star reviews on here, it says it all. So many superlatives - and they’re all true! Where to start this time? Let’s go for location. Absolutely beautiful, with the restaurant and bar directly overlooking the sea and two beaches. The widest turquoise horizon you will survey anywhere! This is reason enough to love Ocean Point. But there is so much more - the five-star restaurant, the friendly and helpful ever-smiling staff (in every department) the attentive owners, the pool, your fellow holidaymakers. The Italian owners love their hotel and it shows, especially in their attention to detail in the restaurant where the food is truly first class and the presentation exceptional. Best of all, this hotel is not a glitzy tower block, and does not pretend to be. There is live entertainment twice a week, but for the rest it’s just a case of total relaxation in beautiful surroundings, lovely food, and pleasant conversation over a drink or three! Perfection!

We had a lovely stay at Ocean point in October. The hotel is large but never felt crowded and there was always somewhere to sit whatever time of day we went out. The beach is literally just outside the restaurant and has plenty of sun beds and umbrellas. The little bay is so pretty and pelicans are fishing off the rocks every day. The rooms was comfortable and clean, if a little dated bathroom wise. The balcony had comfortable chairs meaning you could actually sit and read comfortably unlike many other hotels. The only niggle was the TV had a huge standby light on it that illuminated the room at night so I covered it with a plaster (which didn’t fix it but it did make it manageable!) The restaurant was lovely - food was amazing with plenty of choice and no concerns about eating the same food over and over. Breakfast was varied and there was plenty of it. Lunch could be from the bar or in the restaurant. The quality and presentation of the food was lovely with lots of options and plenty so we never felt hungry. When there was no vegetarian option specifically available we were given options from the kitchen so that was great. The staff were really helpful and friendly, always smiling. We very much enjoyed our stay and would go back to this hotel again without question. Read less
