    According to the SLH network, the Hotel has a boutique level and has 5 stars. But I want to assure you that this is not that case. For breakfast, you will be offered an assortment and level no better than in a regular gas station cafeteria. For example, we asked for a simple salad or vegetables, to which the waiters say that there are no salads and greens and this is only served for lunch. When we ordered avocado toast, they brought us 3 tiny pieces that were half over ripe. And so it went on for two days in a row, when patience was already over. The breakfasts deserve a 2-. From that moment, we decided to eat outside. The beach is tiny; in the yard, all the grass is dry and yellow (it was possible to install watering cans at least). During the day, you can only drink coffee on the beach or in your room. Restaurants on site of hotel operate on a scheduled basis only. Dinner, on the other hand, is not bad. There were many unpleasant and pleasant moments, in general, there is no desire to return to the hotel, I do not recommend

    I am sorry it has taken me so long to write this review, given we visited the Inn at English Harbour in July, the first trip we were able to take once lockdown restrictions in England had eased. Prior to the Inn, we stayed at another, larger hotel for 5 nights. I was extremely impressed by this gorgeous hotel. Firstly, there are no children allowed, unlike bigger corporates, so if you are a couple on a romantic getaway (as we were) you will have the larger pool and all surrounding areas to yourself. The manager at the hotel was extremely accommodating and kind, patiently helping my husband and I find the perfect room, as he has a phobia of insects. The hotel helped us find a room with a beautiful garden view (away from the beach which they had originally booked for us) with excellent ventilation, and provided mosquito repellents and spray to put his mind at ease. I was touched that the manager himself came to meet us and gave us a tour of the rooms in his golf cart. Once we had settled in, everything about this hotel was impeccable. The views are serene and absolutely glorious, the beach is quiet and private, and the drinks (which the staff serve to you directly on the beach) are delicious! Every morning we would be greeted by the lovely staff at the beach restaurant, and by the second morning the team knew our coffee preferences and had this waiting and ready to go. These small touches made us feel as if we had come to a private resort rather than a huge corporate where we would be overlooked. Again, as the hotel is small, the rest of the guests are friendly and the atmosphere is very peaceful and intimate. We actually ended up becoming friends with another family visiting on holiday and took a boat together to visit the pink beaches of Barbuda (which are not to be missed). It was wonderful to play tennis everyday, swim and rest by the beach, and go swimming in a pool that was almost always empty just for us. My only regret was that the larger restaurant at the top of the property was closed during our stay, which was completely understandable given the hotel was operating at reduced guest capacity due to COVID. However, it was like the management read our minds and for our last evening at Antigua, all guests at the hotel were invited for a special dinner at the restaurant at the top of the hotel. The views and the sunset from here were absolutely breath taking, and the food all the more special. I can say, without a doubt, that visiting this property and our trip here was one of the happiest and most magical moments of my life. I cannot thank the hotel staff enough for reminding us what a holiday felt like after COVID. If you have the opportunity to visit the Inn at English Harbour, I would recommend that you go without hesitation. Thank you so much to the team and we hope we will be lucky enough to visit you again soon!

    What a treat to stay at The Inn. Nothing was too much trouble and all the staff bend over backwards to make your stay a special one. The resort is small and quiet but beautifully located with picturesque views across the bay, lovely gardens and pretty white clapperboard buildings house the spacious and tastefully decorated suites. The food was delicious and attention to detail is top notch and the staff are joyous. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway then look no further than here. The only one very small gripe is the pillows are not very comfortable so a plea for nicer pillows to make our next stay completely perfect 🤩

    The Inn at English Harbour is a fantastic hotel, and a great choice in Antigua for anyone who is looking for more than a closed off, all-inclusive resort. Being right on Galleon Beach means The Inn has some of the best beach views, access to crystal clear ocean, and amazing snorkeling right outside the rooms (there are a few underwater shipwrecks nearby, and it's quite common to see turtles while snorkeling). If you can get a room on the beach, it is absolutely worth it. I really can't say enough about how beautiful the location and grounds are, it feels like a postcard every direction you look. You can easily hike up to Shirley Heights, and the hotel has a free jetty that will take you over to Nelson's Dockyard, which makes it a great home base to explore this part of the island. Kayaking is also excellent in this area, and The Inn has a few single and double kayaks you can easily take out. The team and staff were incredibly hospitable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. The grounds have a relaxed feel to them, and overall the experience avoids the craziness and manufactured feel that the bigger all-inclusive resorts offer. I would recommend the Dinner, Bed & Breakfast rate over the full all-inclusive. It's nice to be able to explore Nelson's Dockyard or elsewhere on the island and not feel stressed to get back for lunch, but having breakfast and dinner already taken care of is much easier. I wish there was a bit more variety on the dinner menu, but that is a minor complaint compared to the amazing views, access, experience, and staff.

    Fabulous location. Excellent rooms, service and friendly staff. Boat shuttle will take you into Admiralty Harbour where there are other restaurants and walks. Also great beach bar, Loose Cannon, on Galleon Beach for cocktails and lunch or dinner.

    Fantastic resort, exactly what I was looking for for my vacation. Relaxing, laid back, small and quiet. The staff are super helpful and friendly. Fantastic room - traditional English plantation style, big private verandas. The location is perfect - on a beautiful private beach but a short water taxi ride to a historic dockyard and marina with big yachts from all over. Lots of history, architecture and bars/restaurants for a change of pace from the resort. I’d definitely come back again.

    Love this place. Stopped by the restaurant on the beach and service was amazing, great food, drinks and people. Excellent location!!! Absolutely beautiful beach with amazing snorkeling. Turtles and 🪸 and hiking is on the corner as well. One of the best locations

    There is no better place for a relaxing holiday, it's quiet and peaceful. Loved swimming each day around the bay. Feel very spoilt to have come

    Gosh, where do I start… For my first experience holidaying in the Caribbean it couldn’t have gone any better. Situated in a gorgeous secluded part of the island, surrounded by beautiful hikes and the historic Nelson’s Dockyard, this hotel is perfect for those seeking a bit of peace and tranquility, but with a desire to explore and do activities. The food at the Inn is exceptionally good quality and the fish is so fresh it tasted like it was caught minutes before being served. The main restaurant at the top of the hill is situated with a perfect view overlooking Galleons Bay and English Harbour, blessed with the most exceptional sunsets. The main attraction of this hotel however is the wonderful staff who made our stay so much more enjoyable than if they weren’t there! A huge thank you to Vere, Ocean, Kimoy, Stacey, and everyone else (sorry if I forgot your name) who made the holiday truly memorable. We cannot wait to come back!

    Stayed at The Inn for third time in four years and it was great to see once again that nothing had changed with exceptional service and accommodations. Thanks to all the staff including , Neil, Shirley , Ocean and forgetting Wes who make us most welcome. Look forward to coming back next year. Peter &Kathy

    Small and quiet boutique resort that is absolutely fabulous. Beautiful large rooms with lots of wood detailing and large bathrooms. The service is excellent and people are nice. Food is fantastic with an italian chef at the helm with lots of variety. Great beach and the pool is beautiful too. Seriously nothing to complain about!

    We've just returned from easily the most relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable stay at the Inn at English Harbour. The rooms and overall facilities were absolutely just what we needed. However what made the stay complete were the people who work there. Each and everyone was so helpful and accommodating. Particular mentions to the Reef Bar staff who were to a person exceptional and Vere the captain of the ship and my new Antiguan wife Stacey. ; ). We will be back.

    This is a tough review. Great spot on the island with a very historic location, but the resort has middling amenities that could be forgiven if the owner wasn’t an jerk. Until that attitude issue is resolved, I would say look at some other stays in the area with more friendly and welcoming staff/management. I was dressed in a style that didn’t mark me as the average “tourist” clientele that would book a stay here, which prompted the owner to treat me and my party like absolute garbage trespassing on a beach which is public land anyways. If you’re a person who seeks that sort of arrogance and stuffy attitude when on vacation, this is the place for you. Otherwise, look elsewhere. Hopefully this review is a wake up call for management but given the decline in quality I’ve heard about this place it seems like a lost cause

    Lovely location with extensive beautifully-kept grounds leading to a long beach. The Reef restaurant on the beach serves breakfast and lunch which are both excellent with lovely staff who are eager to please. The Terrace restaurant on the other hand lets the place down. The menu is very small and is not changed from day to day. The food served doesn’t always exactly match the menu description and is plain and unimaginative. If you’re looking for a gourmet experience on holiday then this is not the place for you. The rooms are huge if looking a little tired. The reception and main buildings are some distance from the rooms down a steepish road and there is a shuttle van to take you back and forth. Unfortunately you sometimes have to wait 10-15 minutes for it. There was a Nespresso machine in our room accompanied by a notice that stated that the coffee pods would be charged at US$3 each. This is penny-pinching in the extreme which I’ve never come across before anywhere. Most hotels replenish them on a daily basis without extra charge. Cut out the penny-pinching and change the chef and it would be an idyllic place to visit.

    5 star, very small luxury resort. This hotel is a great place to bask in the sun with a white sand beach, sun loungers, and beach umbrellas. Outside activities available. For the quiet, relaxing person who wants peace and quiet.
