The property is big , poolside bars , the beach is beautiful! The food was great the staff were so pleasant and helpful any hour. Now the room ehhh they are a bit tiny but for the price it’s not bad. You come on vacation to enjoy the island so you’re not in your room anyway. It should be only to sleep lol so it did suffice for me! I loved and will be returning!!!

I was unaware that you don’t get daily turn down service unless you stay 7 days or more. If you need clean towels or sheets you have to request it and change the bed on your own.

Staff is very friendly! They work extremely hard and are often under appreciated by the guests. Although it is an all-inclusive resort, we did tip servers & bartenders (housekeeping is a separate service fee). The resort is in serious need of repairs and updating. Rooms are outdated. Limited outlets for charging. Beach towels are readily available & you can swap out wet/dirty towels for clean ones. The pools are clean and well placed. Plenty of lounge chairs. The beach is gorgeous! Some of the palapas (beach cabanas) have rotting roofs. We did see some construction taking place, so perhaps there will be improvements in the near future. Limited dining options: one buffet for breakfast & dinner; one poolside grill for lunch; one formal dining area that has limited seating & requires same day reservations. There is a coffee bar but the guests seem to outpace the staff’s ability to replenish the coffee quickly enough. There are panhandlers on the beach. Some are looking to book you on excursions, some are selling wares, others are looking for free food, drink & cash handouts. There are security guards hired by the resort, but unless you tell security that you don’t want to be approached by panhandlers, security will ignore the panhandlers and you will be continuously approached. All non-motorized activities are included but you need to be aware of the jet skiers who race up & down the shoreline. Mosquitos/sand flies abound at dawn/dusk. We brought deet wipes & were fine.

Although the rooms are very small and dated, the beach is gorgeous. The staff was friendly. It would have been nice if they had two restaurants instead of just one, but overall the food wasn't bad. The bars were great! I had an issue with the use of a paddle board and was restricted to how long and where I could use it.

I must say that the water at Jolly beach is beautiful!!!! The Staff weren’t as friendly as you would think. The food options were limited. The property itself is dated. There’s currently construction being done on some of the ground level units, which brings the noise early in the morning. We will definitely visit Antigua again, but we will stay at a different resort.

The best thing about the resort is the beach it's situated along. The resort itself is quiet. Room: Stayed in Standard King. Room size is sufficient. Cleanliness is lacking. Daily room service is only offered with an extra fee, but I would expect to at least start with a very clean room. Bed (firm) & sheets were comformable & clean, but surfaces & floors did not look clean & the whole room definitely needed general maintenance & upkeep. Room temperature was conformable. Resort grounds: Rundown, but overall looked clean. Definitely lacking in general maintenance. The hedges by the coffee area were overgrown, so you could not enjoy the full view of beach. Lawn maintenance did show up when we were there, but still did not trim the bushes. The gym: Very rundown & lacking, preferred workouts from my patio vs the gym. Food & drinks: Buffet food was sufficient. No room service or snack bar available. Hard to make it to breakfast (7am-10:30am) with time change, but it was nice to have coffee available from 7am-10pm & water all day. Most days had lunch at Coconut Grill - great lunch options (hamburgers, wings, wraps, salads, etc.) Buffet dinner options were good. Did not make reservations @ Pizza Factory. Entertainment: Provided each night from around 7-10pm around the Long Bar. Very basic with a singer, karaoke, or a DJ, but it was fine. Service: Service was hit or miss. Most times we had to get our own drinks from buffet. Most bar tenders were good. Beach: Gorgeous & quiet

I'm not sure where to start. Our experience began on a disappointing note when we entered our room, which was small and outdated—I'm 5'11" and my husband is 6'2", making it cramped. The mosquitoes were quite aggressive, and we had to complain to get a screen door. To make matters worse, construction workers were outside our second-floor balcony at 7 a.m., which was very disruptive. After raising our concerns, it took three days to move us to a more suitable room. Room service was complimentary for stays over six days, and the food was decent, especially for those on a diet. The beach was definitely the highlight of our stay, along with the locally brewed beer from the owner. This place has great potential but needs room renovations and a wider food selection.

The property has great beach access and the staff are friendly. Everything else is just ok. It’s an older resort and we didn’t get our room after an hour later as they needed to fix some “issues” in our room. Communication to the guests are very poor. As they didn’t notify us when they had to turn off the water in the entire property as they were fixing the main water pipes. We had the water back later in the day. It was a nightmare! The phone in our room wasn’t working too so we have to run to the reception area for every issue we have. They also don’t clean your room regularly so you need to let them know ahead of time. There’s not much food options. They have 1 ala carte, 1 buffet, 1 grill and 1 cafe. If you need to dine at the a la carte, you need to be online at 7am before the reservation desk opens at 7:30am, otherwise, you wouldn’t get a table.

The location could not be! The beach is absolutely gorgeous! For an all-inclusive resort, the food was very tasty. The only downside is the resort is a bit dated. The bed was comfortable, but the rooms could use a major upgrade. We didn’t focus on that too much because when you’re there, you’re rarely in your rooms, but the bathroom Definitely needs a redo. We would definitely go back.
