The hotel

In an idyllic location, sat on one of Antigua’s best beaches and surrounded by 40-acres of tropical gardens, Jolly Beach Antigua offers simple and good value accommodation for all. Lively in atmosphere, there’s always plenty to do, so get the gang together and head to the beach for some water sport action. Or perhaps even an impromptu game of tennis. Keeping everyone entertained wont a problem, but we bet you'll also love relaxing at the ‘Quiet Pool’, or heading to the spa for some much-deserved pampering.

Beach was the best again. Hotel was better than 10 years ago. Pool & bar food shut. Pool was drained and workers started on chipping tiles away causing dust everywhere. I understand that work needs to be done but we should have been notified before going.

Old tired regimented meal time with no flexibility for clients not wanting just to lie on a beach. Food cheap in quality as is the beverages all generic non branded products Rooms small and surprisingly no cleaning service on a daily basis. One redeeming factor was the ac worked well

This was our 3rd time here, second year in a row. Booked the king superior which is the same as the queen superior, it included a fridge, a kettle, a full bathroom. The room was clean, the bed and pillows were comfy. Every year we have been in the St John block close to the beach next to the spa. We had no trouble getting a palapa at 7:30-8:00am… Read more
This was our 3rd time here, second year in a row. Booked the king superior which is the same as the queen superior, it included a fridge, a kettle, a full bathroom. The room was clean, the bed and pillows were comfy. Every year we have been in the St John block close to the beach next to the spa. We had no trouble getting a palapa at 7:30-8:00am as it was not that busy. Beach was great the first few days and then it got rough and lots of seaweed. We were quite happy with all the staff other than the reception staff. Stand outs were Karlos and Patrick at the long bar, Judith who always brought a smile, Kanisha at the pool bar, and Zauda and Inezsteen round out those we can remember. We thought the buffet was better last year but still always found something we could eat. Breakfast was always good and some of the themed dinner buffets were better than others. Coconut Grill on the beach had great jerk chicken wraps, burgers, hotdogs and the best coleslaw. Pizza Factory was very good, food and service were excellent. Drinks, were all good, never had to wait too long to be served at any of the bars. We would have liked the beach bar to stay open a little later than 4:00. They listed it to close at 4:45 but if not busy they closed, that is not right, serve the customers that are still on the beach. As prices rise we are not sure that JB will be good value, there is still much to be done as far as improvements go, another a la carte would be nice and a bit more nightly entertainment. We had two nights of live entertainment and then one night karaoke and the rest was a DJ. Many islands are starting to charge the resort fees so Antigua is not alone there but it is something to consider. We loved the beach during the day and the long bar at night. We would love to return if the opportunity arises and the prices stay reasonable. Read less

I visited jolly beach with my husband for 7 days and it was absolutely amazing! After reading some of the negative reviews I was very hesitent to visit but let me tell you, I was completely caught off guard of how amazing this place is. We stayed in a standard king room and it was just perfect for us. The room was clean and spacious enough! The food was great especially the pizza factory. The staff is very friendly and always smiling. Waldadi aka Antigua is very safe even with the street hustlers around which are not breathing down your neck. This is a 3 star resort with a 5 star beach. We will definitely visit again! Safe travels! Read less
