The Escape at Nonsuch Bay

What an incredible 2 weeks we've just had at the Escape.... such an outstanding resort and all the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The suites are brilliant, very clean and modern with plenty of space and a great balcony with a view of the bay. The food was a highlight for us, we thought we might get bored being there for 2 weeks, but there was always something different every day for lunch and dinner. Breakfast got a bit repetitive but had enough choice to keep us happy throughout. We'd like to thank all of the resort staff, especially Zoe and Avella, for their exception levels of service and friendliness. Always more than willing to help and answer questions in any way they can. Overall we would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking to get away and relax. Read less

We have just returned from a week staying at Escape @ Non Such Bay. We booked this location as we both needed somewhere quiet and relaxing so we could switch off and this destination met with our expectations. From the moment we arrived with a very friendly welcome to the moment we left we could not fault anything we experienced. There is no question that the key strength to the success here is excellent customer service skills given by Ms Fox and her team. They are faultless at all times. The rooms are well appointed, clean and well supplied. The pool area is relaxing and well presented. The food was faultless and imaginative at every meal, delivered with thought and care. A testament to this is that every single plate went back empty. Our only suggestion here is that the breakfast menu became a little repetitive. This isn't the holiday for you if you're looking for a wild time, there are plenty of options for activities but it's a quiet place, (we swam at the beach and took boat rides to Green Island). The staff truly couldn't do enough for us and made it their job to serve with care and beaming smiles. Special mention must go to Avella, Zoe, Charmaine, Lorina, Javaire, Rehannah, Vincent, Keirah (Natasha @ Non Such) and we also had the pleasure of meeting the head chef too. If you're looking for a relaxing holiday, there is nowhere better then Escape on the beautiful island of Antigua. Tim & Cameron Read less

Words cannot describe my feelings about The Escape @ Non Such Bay. The property and location is beautiful, away from all the hustle and bustle of Antigua. It’s a refreshing OASIS, calm, and serene! My husband and I had an awesome HOLIDAY! If fact it was so great we extended our stay not once, but twice. If you have the privilege to visit, you will understand why it’s a special place. I promise you will not want to leave. My family (the staff) is amazing! They go out of their way, above and beyond to meet your requests or concerns. No demand is too small. They work with grace and style. Bravo to the entire Escape team. We MISS U ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Charmaine we loved our talks with you and did I mention your hand crafted cocktails. The owners are blessed to have a hospitality veteran such as yourself. Zoe, thanks for your warm welcomes. We miss our hugs. Avella thanks for taking care of any issues we encountered.

Thanks for going beyond the call of duty. Keirah and Ashly keep that clam, pleasant, warm attitude. Our apologies if we misspelled or failed to mention anyone’s name. The Escape is the newborn baby of Nonsuch Bay. When the owners or general managers are on the property and guest are present it should be a common courtesy to greet them with a simple hello. 1. The noise from the unpaved road is disruptive to guests. Especially while staying in the top suites. 2. Pigeons are building nests on the balcony under the roof of the top suites; perhaps chicken wire will prevent this. 3. An umbrella should be available in each guest suite during raining season. 4. The telephone base needs to be secured to wall or table. When you pick up the receiver the base falls on the floor. 5. Install glass shower door, water splatters over the floor. The water can cause a safety hazard. 6. Install solar lights down the walkway to ensure individuals have visual light along the pathway at night 7. Did someone say waffles? Yes, several guests desired waffles including us during our stay. Invest in a few waffle irons. If you want a vacation were you’re welcomed and feel like royalty look no further. It’s paradise with the best dining experience you’ll ever have! Until we meet again Family! Read less

We booked 10 nights at The Escape for our wedding anniversary , attracted by the limited number of rooms and the fact that it is a couples only resort. We love small, intimate hotels and this promised to tick all those boxes. We were almost deterred by the fact that it is "all inclusive " however as it turns out that description does not do the package justice. Our room was well proportioned, the bed and the pillows superbly comfortable. The outdoor space was superb from the day bed to the outdoor bath and finally the plunge pool ( more like a mini swimming pool ). We thought that looking over a bay / inlet would not compare with a sea view , how wrong we were. The view over the mangrove and the bay and to the rolling hills was beautiful and so very peaceful. The Ecape is only a few months old and like the new home we have bought we experienced a couple of minor niggles, which were resolved quickly and most professionally by the superb manager Avella. The food is far from an "all inclusive " experience . Other than the breakfast menu , the remainder change every day to reflect the fresh local ingredients . The quality and presentation of the food was in keeping with a fine dining experience. Mitchell and Dionne are outstanding chefs. Avella's team are a crucial part of what makes The Escape such a great experience , great service delivered with that all important Caribbean charm and personality. Zoe , Kiera, Vince,Lareena,Rhi Rhi, Breezy, Javea, Jumaine and the Famous Tessa - thank you for being being you and doing what you do so well . ( please excuse any poor spelling 😁). Yes we booked this for our wedding anniversary, however a few weeks before travelling Kevin , my husband was diagnosed with cancer. We have never needed a holiday so much and could not have wished for a more perfect and relaxing experience. Fiona & Kevin Read less
