    This place really deserves no stars. Make sure you look at the pictures I posted as proof of our experience. On day one we found the light in the bathroom and the toilet not functioning properly. We were unable to call the front desk because the phone didn’t work. So on day two we find out the hotel only cleans your towels every three days. I guess they don’t expect people to shower. The housekeepers told us if you want your room cleaned every day you need to pay extra. How is this all inclusive? So we never had our room cleaned and my wife took our used towels directly to the housekeepers and demanded they be exchanged for clean ones. If you want to eat there’s only one on the property and it takes forever to get your food. One of the workers suggested we go out of the resort to eat. The restaurant served the same food every day and actually only had pasta for two days. The menu is a single sheet of paper that is passed around table by table. Imagine only one paper menu. The website states two swimming pools but only one is operating the other is empty with junk in it. Fitness center is almost bare as is the gift shop. I have pictures of trashed rooms with mattresses and chairs tossed around and outside. The security is non existent as there are workers floating all around the property. Everywhere is a worksite. What is listed on the website is not what the reality is. This resort is not prepared to be open and we have had the opportunity to speak with other guests who had the same miserable experience. My advice is pass this resort by. The island, it’s people and the activities away from the resort were terrific. We also found the excursions offered at the resort to be very overpriced. I recommend a trip to St. John and Shirley Heights two fun locations just get your own taxi. The guy down the beach had jet skis for rent and offered the same excursions as the resort for considerably less money with transportation back and forth.

    It was a lovely place to stay. We were there for 8 days. The people who worked there were very friendly, easy to speak with and extremely helpful. I would have given them a five star rating except our television never worked (who needed it anyway, could only get WIFI in the reception area lounge and our air conditioner went on the fritz. Seriously, none of those issues caused us any grief though. We totally loved our visit. I would go back in a heartbeat. 💓 Also, getting to and from the resort was very easy with taxis at the airport and the resort had taxis for the ride back! Perfect!

    Jolly Beach Resort (an extensive review) We decided to spend our first Christmas as a married couple at jolly beach Antigua. We had a pleasant time exploring the island and enjoyed our stay. The staff at jolly beach were polite, friendly and helpful. The food was delicious—shoutout to Lorenzo, who looked after us well in the main restaurant. Also, we loved that Kayaking was included in our hotel booking at no additional cost. Given that they have recently reopened, they have the potential to be an excellent resort. We expected that the fundamental details of our stay would have been attended to. However, we have some key observations and recommendations. 1. Shower - our shower was not working on arrival, despite maintenance taking a look. Eventually, we were provided with another room to shower in…but not to move into entirely, which was bizarre because, at one point, someone else had moved into that room, and we had no idea! So imagine the horror when they realised that we had also been given a key to their room to shower! 2. Share Key information - for example, paying an additional $10USD to clean your room. They need to have a fact sheet given at the start of check-in and in every room about crucial details such as meal times and their respective locations. 3. Wi-Fi - it does not extend well to the rooms furthest away from the reception. Therefore it would be helpful to have Wi-Fi extenders. The Wi-Fi near the reception and restaurant frequently cuts out, and it is frustrating. 4. TV - the TV only had three channels which, when there was no Wi-Fi, was a massive letdown. The TV in the rooms must be auto-tuned to locate the additional channels. 5. Phone - the phone did not work, and so in order to communicate with the reception, we had to take a 5-minute walk from our rooms, which is very concerning in the event of an emergency. 6. Lighting - there needs to be adequate lighting within the corridors (especially after 5 pm or sunset) 7. Rooms — Mosquitos in rooms - they need to spray the room with anti-mosquito spray because the rooms were full of them, and the mosquitos used us for Christmas dinner! They need to cut out the nonsense of paying 10USD each time you want your room cleaned! Finally, they need to provide fresh towels!!!! We asked for new towels several times and ended up having to get clean towels from the poolside/beach ourselves…unacceptable! 8. Gym - like something from the 1960s. Nothing more to say. 9. Restaurant - prolonged service. There was a day that we waited over one hour for our breakfast after ordering. Staff seem to be trying their best; however, they need to increase their staff capacity and training. They need proper contingency planning for seating guests when the weather changes (I.e. rain). They must have adequate menus printed and not just one menu shared between numerous guests. OR they should opt for a cost-effective buffet (they eventually opted for the latter after a few days into our stay).

    The rooms are clean and have new comfy beds. The staff is super nice and they do their best. The variety of food is not huge, but you will not be hungry!!! One part of the resort is getting some remodeling so the previous pictures you saw in one of the reviews are from remodeling part of hotel. Beach is absolutely amazing and that's why we are here. If you are looking for a luxury hotel this is not for you, you have $1000 per night just down on the beach 😎

    Just returned from a week stay at Jolly Beach. I read prior reviews and was nervous but was pleasantly surprised with how things were. They opened 2 months ago and most of the prior reviews are now outdated. Both pools are beautiful and clean. I didn’t go to the gym but looked through the window and it was full of equipment. Parts are being renovated but it’s not in the area where open rooms are. Restaurants have regular menus and the staff is out of this world! Affordable with an amazing beach! If you’re looking for gourmet food like a prior review…there is another resort down the road $900 a night

    The resort has one of the best beaches! Restaurants staff is very nice, friendly and accommodating. However, cleaning staff is mostly non existent. Rooms are being cleaned only upon request and it costs 10 USD. The room we had was "renovated", which means only painted. During our 7 day stay we had: - replaced the screen door, which was originally propped against the wall - fixed the room door, which was sticking ( ha ha ha- I guess they couldn't get in😉) - asked to fix the phone, but were not successful with that 😢 Hoping the next guests will fix the phone, bathroom fan, ceiling fan etc. Fantastic people and the beach made a good stay for us!

    A large sprawling site with lovely helpful and smiling staff. We went on a BA all inclusive holiday in a super saver room. Some of these are small with internal and external walls pebble dashed and whitewashed. Air con unit very noisy. Generally needs refurbishment not just tidying up and repainting. Noise from staff and other residents starts about 8am. Large bar and outside area to eat and meet on an evening. Burger and chicken lunches from pool bar. Breakfast is substantial. We went for the cricket, 40 min taxi fare. I would definitely go again but not in a super saver room.

    Most amazing beach and people. They truly treat you as though you're family and strive to make your stay very special. The resort itself is very dated but its clean and the beds are comfy. I'm a vegetarian and found it quite easy to have a good meal with lots of choices. The grill next to the pool has a great veggie burger as well. If you're looking for fancy this is not your place but if you're looking for a great beach with great service and people....this is it!!!

    No welcome party per say but Pauletta was helpful and precise even while a day pass guest was trying to overstay into the evening. Filled out the paperwork, gave my card for the service charges, got the keys and waited for the valet who had gone to make a drop off. Valet came back, showed us where dinner would be ( Paulette gave us the run down and showed us the spots for the next day). Food - overall 3 stars Highlights - breakfast is good - live omelette station. Bacon on Saturday but none on Sunday. Fresh fruit and cereal options with toast and also local options like salt fish and white dumplings. Friday night buffet dinner was also good with lots of options. Mid point - jerk/bbq chicken at the pool bar was decent and the burger was cool as well. Coleslaw was not up to par. Letdowns - we missed the pizza at the pizza factory and dinner at the pizza factory was not great. Drinks - bartenders are good, we had amaretto sours, tequila sunrise, gin and tonic, special of the day but no mimosas at lunch. Room - 4 stars High light - everything worked - AC, Hot Water, ceiling fan, tv. Mid point- the bed was very hard, only two pillows so if you’re a couple who likes multiple pillows you might have to request extras which might come at a cost. Overall if you’re here to see the island and you book the cheapest room you should be fine if it’s just for sleeping showering etc. Amenities - 4 stars Pool - clean and big and two different options one with a swim up bar. Public washrooms - functional and decent. Games - there’s a pool table. There’s a gym with some weights and a gift shop. Staff - Paulette was very good and so was the valet ( tall dude with dreadlocks). Some more chatty than others but overall they try to be friendly and engaging. Side note- if you are looking for a bargain this is it. If you’re thinking you’ll get a five star hotel experience at these prices then that’s not going to happen. The hotel was closed from April 2020 to December 2022 and in some places you can tell they have more work to do still. For a property that’s been open 9 months they’re definitely trying to keep the momentum going. The Hotel is on an amazing stretch of beach and has a large pool so if you’re heading south for the winter and just want a place to lay your head have some good drinks and decent food go ahead and hit the book button. Enjoy!!!

    This place deserves 0 stars. Let me 1st start off with the water issues. They had no running water day one. Day 2 there was a massive power outage, no lights, totally dark in the back of the resort where they had most of the guests and on top of that you were burning up while being eaten by mosquitoes all night long. They finally decide to relocate everyone off to their neighboring resorts that were on the other side of the island. Totally unacceptable when you have family who stay up to street from the hotel. They offered to refund 100% of my money but instead of asking for my credit card they issued the credit to the 3rd party vendor Without notifying me and it's been well over a month and today is the 1st day anyone has told me that there was a refund issue to the 3rd party vendor. So all in all this nightmare of a resort needs to burn down and restart everything as the new owners have not a clue how to treat people. Positive note, the stack was beyond friendly when I say beyond friendly I mean beyond friendly given the circumstances they had to deal with that being us as customers being treated as if we were Cave men and women. Unacceptable people, unacceptable and don't let me get started on the one man restaurant wow. SMH!!!!! All of the resent photos by reviewers are spot on. This place looked condemned!!

    I’m not sure why there are so many negative reviews. The rooms are not 5* but they are clean and cool and all one needs on vacation. I haven’t found any mosquitos and there is no bad odour in the room. Water pressure is what you should expect on an island. All the staff are welcoming and very helpful. The property is expansive and the beach is beautiful. Both pools are open. The only negative I have at the moment is figuring out which restaurants are open and at what time. Easy fix is to ask any member of staff (and there are plenty around) and they will point you in the right direction. Will definitely come back.

    The beach is absolutely beautiful! The resort however needs some work. The rooms were so tiny we could barely open our suitcases on the floor. The bathroom too was very small and had ants. The bed was uncomfortable, I tossed and turned all night. We asked to upgrade and unfortunately that room was slightly better. It was still small but we could open our suitcases fully. If you’re expecting fluffy pillows, comfy beds, and an amazing shower you’ll want to look elsewhere. This “resort” needs some major updating. Please note that the restaurants on site are not open all day, and you need to make reservations a day in advance for most of them. I hope you don’t get hungry at night because you won’t have any options. When you’re staying for a full week you want to be comfortable and unfortunately that was not the case for myself and you he others with me.

    I have been traveling for some 35 years, 3 times per year on average, and I have never encountered such a terrible resort as this one. The worst thing first: the resort is currently under extensive renovation work. For 6 of the 7 days there, we had construction work being done in the room next to ours and on the roof as well. Which meant from 10am to 5pm non stop hammering, hammer drilling, banging, etc...We complained every day and every time the answer was the same: they said how sorry they were and it won't happen again! So it was impossible to have a nap after lunch, or relax with a book on rainy afternoon. As a matter of fact, the construction was going on all over the resort, and they were running it at 10% capacity. Don't go there for at least next 2 years. Also, I have never been in a hotel where they don't even provide you with one bottle of water in the room!!! Their buffet restaurant was ok, but it wasn't open every night. In a la carte restaurant we twice had to wait over 90 minutes to get our orders. No water in the rooms and long wait in the restaurant I can take, but the insane construction noise was absolutely unacceptable. Of course, nobody told us when we were booking that there would be construction going there......

    Excellent service for the most part. Grounds are kept really well. Food is very good, lots of variety during the week. Most people have complained about the super saver room being too small, yes it was but it didn't bother us as we hardly spent any time in there other than showering and sleeping. Amazing beach, super clean and the water crystal clear and so warm. Highly recommend and would like to return soon.

    The location should be beautiful but it’s an old, run down hotel which has been brought out of mothballs. The building is a mess, multiple dangerous infrastructure items exposed to guests, exposed wires, damaged roofs, broken drains etc. The fully inclusive service is a con, you have to pay for your room to be turned down each day, only one restaurant is open most of the time (per time of day), and the food is very much below the standard of a basis hotel. There are absolutely no dietary requirements catered for - none. General staff try and be helpful and are polite, but poorly trained, swearing amongst them is common and over heard by customers. Reception Manager staff are rude, and lack basic customer service skills, the junior staff try but have poor hierarchies to deal with. Entertainment is almost non existent other than a lad sitting a laptop with one speaker playing a playlist, one night there was a steel drum band outside and he restaurant, doors were shut so you couldn’t really hear it and no where to sit and enjoy it after eating if you wanted to.

    Great chilled-out and relaxed resort. The staff make the Jolly Beach one of my favourites places in the Caribbean - so friendly and helpful. This resort has recently been taken over by the Starfish group so it'll be interesting to see what they do with it. We've visited 3 times and this time we were charged for using the safe and there isn't a fridge in the room. The beach was perfect as always.

    We had a terrible experience here at the Jolly beach resort. Our air con had broken in the room and was dripping down the wall. The receptionist and manager was rude in trying to sort it out. We waited 3 hours before they fixed it after we waited outside the managers office trying to communicate with her. They fixed the air con after 3 hours after refusing to move rooms for us but left the muddy water all over the floor. We asked for a cleaner twice but no one ever showed up. The staff seemed unhappy to work there. The resort also is tired, old and needs a good refurbishment. Don’t stay here if you want a relaxing, comfortable place to stay! There are a lot better all inclusive resorts down the coast which offer comfort and luxury for slightly more per night (we stayed at one 10 minutes away) Pros - there were some lovely serving staff in the Pizza factory restaurant and the resort is on a stunning beach!!

    During my recent stay at Jolly Beach Resort, I had mixed experiences. During my recent stay at Jolly Beach Resort, I had mixed experiences. The beach was undoubtedly beautiful, with its soft sand and picturesque views. The sunsets were absolutely stunning, creating a magical ambiance. However, I found the rooms to be average in terms of comfort and amenities. They lacked some modern touches and could benefit from updates. One aspect that fell short of my expectations was the food options. While the resort offered a few restaurants, the variety and quality of the cuisine were limited. I found myself wanting more diversity and tastier options during my stay. We have not had a mojito in our entire stay for week the resort staff was friendly and provided decent service. They were accommodating and responsive to requests, which added a positive touch to the overall experience. Also watch out for guy name Cloud who sits on beach and book tours and jetskies what he will sale you and what you get is not The same you be surprised he double booked island tours we had to go in taxi always book at resort tour

    Awful! We had 3 room changes in 4 days! No.1 aircon not working, shower neither, room No.2 toilet leaking over the floor! Room No.3 supposed to be a superior room! Old tatty, corroded patio doors, very shabby! no cleaning unless you paid for it! Food below average, and same thing served up most days! main swimming pool very discoloured ,green patches all over! The whole place needs knocking down and rebuilding! Only good thing about the place, apart from the weather and the beach, the staff were very friendly , they offer a variety of non motorised water sport, that’s a kayak and a paddle board!!!

    A 2 star trying to be a 3. The only think that sets this resort from the others are the beautiful beach. Nothing else Arrived in reception and used the washroom, could smell it before I saw it, very run down and poor maintenance. The hotel was built in 1979 and nothing has been done to it. They say its recently renovated RUBBISH, all they have done is a paint job on the outside of the building, NOTHING else. 1970 old wicker bedroom furniture and old fitting. We stayed in the superior room, the only difference is a king size bed. Various problems with the loo I think we rang reception 4 or 5 times and 2 maintenance man before it was sorted. ORIENTATION was a joke with Monique, remembering this is an all inclusive resort, we were told that there is no house keeping, if u want clean towels u need to collect from reception and the KILLER blow was if u wanted your sheets changed u will have to do it yourself or pay housekeeping $10 for the pleasure. HAS ANYONE HEARD OF SUCH NONSENSE, AND, U CAN ONLY GET WIFI FROM RECEPTION. I go on holiday for a break not to make someone else's bed, how dare her. Everyone there laughed at the suggestion. She made things up as she went along. Breakfast and lunch was a joke, same think every day, if u love eggs, u will have a field day. Lunch was chillie dog, burgers wings and salad every day. Dinner was our saving grace, but very hit and miss. I would like to say thanku to paulette on reception for being there and always smiling and also Judith in the breakfast who was a jolly old sole and u ladies.

    We had read lots of reviews prior to our visit, and I won't lie some made us quite nervous... To set the scene: We arrived on resort the day after Hurricane Tammy passed by, so there was some damage and a lot of standing water around the resort. The Reception area had been hit heavily with water damage, The Resort: The resort is big, but some of it is being renovated, the noise from those renovations is only a little distracting if you sit by the smaller "quiet" pool, I would love to see the changes once complete... We managed to get beach towels every day without fail. The main pool was being cleaned daily, but unfortunately, we were overrun with flies around the pool and bar area and resulted in the pool surface being heavily littered with bodies 🪰 by early afternoon. The flies were also very present in the restaurants (We visited a local restaurant who did not have the same issue with flies, so i find it hard to accept the "fly season" response others were given). The food was good, Breakfast was the best meal of the day, we got their early to avoid queuing for the omelette station. Lunches were either at the grill by the pool or ala carte in the pizza restaurant. A la carte offerings were the best food in the evenings, but needed a bit of an explanation as to what you could have, again a bit more communication needed. The pizza wasn't as expected, the tomato sauce on it was overly sweet and was not enjoyable. (Staff notified at the time) My very last meal was at the pizza restaurant and i found a fly in my chicken pasta alfredo which put me off - staff were informed at the time. We booked a supersaver room, and honestly, it just wasn't big enough even for a couple, we had a standard amount of luggage and no storage, other than a tiny built in cupboard/wardrobe which held ironing board/safe/iron and hairdryer, but no drawers to be able to unpack. The room however, was perfectly clean on arrival, the bed was comfortable, but we were not visited by housekeeping once and as such, could have really done with a broom/dustpan and brush to sweep up sand , but also the option to swap out towels during the week. The communication by the resort left a lot to be desired, the information board was not kept up to date and therefore it was difficult to know where lunch/dinner was each day. There was an ongoing issue with no water overnight throughout our stay, with no warning, if this is "the norm" then visitors should be notified and offered hand sanitiser for the rooms. we had only just arrived and found that the water didnt return until approx 6.30am, so no option for a shower or flush the toilet. If we had been informed it would not have as much of an issue... please talk to your guests 🙏 We had our pick of fully functioning sunbeds everyday, and we could have had 5 each if we had been so inclined 🤣 We ended up on the row next to the sea as were less bothered by the fly issue. (See above) The staff were in the main outstanding, (special mentions to Shania, Shaniqua, Robinette and Clinton) John? (the manager) was around most days keeping an eye on things, and there were improvements made across the week, I would have liked to meet personally with him, as would have liked to deliver my thoughts and expertise personally. Our stay finished on Monday 30th, and we were offered a room to shower and change for travel, which didn't materialise, which was a shame, Clinton was very apologetic but it was not ideal. Also, the mosquitos are ferocious, they were not detered by bracelets or patches or natural sprays, so we bought heavy duty spray from the epicurean in the harbour, but had already been eaten alive at this point. At last count my left leg had 49/50 bites 😬😬 But the beach... is stunning!

    Jolly Beach is a 3 star, all inclusive resort. we booked a superior room which was larger than most and had couch and a fridge. the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the arcon worked well. there were plent of options for eating and the food was good. the beach is stunning and you can take your free coctails over to your sun lounger on the beach or by the pool. the staff were freindly and ver helpful. our flight was late in the evening so we organised a late checkout at 18:00 fo $50. well worth it. n summary, this is a great value hotel. if you are looking for luxur there are plenty of high end resorts at twice the price.

    Great little spot. Beach is well kept. We didn't stay at jolly Beach Resort we stayed in the harbour. Hurricane Tammy did wreak a little havoc whilst we stayed in Antigua but once sorted the locals cleaned the beach up. Both bars are good especially Sandra's who has live entertainment every night. Watch out for the beautiful sunsets and moon light over the sea.

    Myself and 3 others were at jolly beach Oct 17-24. We were so excited to be finally at the resort after a 15 hour day of traveling, with having to be at the airport at 2 am for a 5 am departure to a 4.5 hour lay over in Miami, than off to Antigua!! Upon arrival at 4:30 pm at the front desk a sign was posted. Water will be off for a few hours. Sorry for the inconvenience. Ok no worries we are on vacation and it’s only a few hours right! Nope wrong that was the beginning of 1 of the 4 days we had no water, no shower, no toilet not a drop! Couldn’t even shower before leaving for the airport to come home. Thank hod I had bought bottled water so we could brush our teeth!! Unacceptable!!! Ha that’s an entire different topic. No bottled water would be given to us from the resort!! We had to buy it from the gift store, yes you heard me right. You turn off the water and offer us no bottled water to drink!! Unacceptable!!! Now let’s go to the issue of the swim up bar pool. Absolutely disgusting!! Algae and mold all over inside the pool. Oh yes some are gonna say it’s stained that way! No it is not stains!!! In between the blue tiles is black mold and algae is all over in it. Food or lack of. People have food allergies!! One girl is allergic to coconut and myself I’m allergic to shell fish. Dinner one night was Indian food. All spicy food. Which I cannot eat due to sever acid reflux nor can the other girl as she is allergic to coconut which is an ingredient in the sauces that are mixed in with the meat. Nothing offered to eat for dinner besides that. So we did not eat any dinner that night. Buffet was fine. Steak dinner was great. BBQ ribs were great! Breakfast was ok. (Same options each day) lunch by the pool was good. Another thing nothing telling us what the food is. No signs in front of the dishes! Not good as people have food allergies. I had to keep asking the manager each day what each dish was. I even let him know that he should have little signs up in front of each dish. The palms restaurant had 2 leaks in the ceiling. Blankets on the floor infront of the buffet to soak up the water!! 😡😡 I understand nobody can control the weather so as far as that goes it is what it is!! Hurricane Tammy really put a damper on things! Which brings me to this next part. Hurricane Tammy is approaching us. Nobody at that resort told us a damn thing as to protocol. I had to go to the desk and ask what is your Hurricane protocol!! At which time I was told people on the 1st floor will be moved to 2nd and 3rd floors. People are to stay in the rooms. Stay in our rooms hmmm we can’t have any alcohol to take to our rooms we can’t take any food to our rooms the TV’s are not working but stay in your room. Thank goodness Tammy took a turn East and went around us. Wind and rain. Lots and lots of rain to the point of many places on the resort we’re flooded. Sunday and Monday all pools closed. Not to mention we changed rooms 4 times. 2 times due to the AC breaking down. 1 time to be moved to higher ground and 1 time to be moved from 3rd floor to 1 sr floor due to bad knees and a bad back.( on day 2). One of the rooms we were in had tiny little ants all over my top sheet of my bed and on the wall, I killed them and sprayed off all over the wall and all around my bed on the floor( that helped with the bugs). I will say that the workers are amazing except for management, useless!! I have been to many all inclusive resorts in many countries some 5* and also some 2-3* . I am not the type of person who gives a hoot if the furniture is dated. As long as my room is clean bed is comfortable food is good pools are good and beach is beautiful and good service that makes a great vacation for me. Unfortunately jolly beach resort is not somewhere I would ever return to.just an fyi jolly beach was a covid quarantine facility during covid. I found this out by talking to locals. I’m not sure it would have changed my mind about coming here had I know but than again it might have. All I can say is this resort has so much potential. Gotta spend money to make money!!

    Please do not pay any attention to negative reviews! We stayed at Jolly Beach 2 weeks ago, and to be honest we had our reservations after reading the reviews. However the hotel, staff, food, amenities and beach are absolutely fantastic. Really can't believe people are complaining about the food! Yes it's basic, but there is plenty of it and it changes daily - there is always somewhere to eat or drink! Rooms are comfortable and clean, however you will need to pay a $10 fee if you need it serviced, we were aware of this before travelling and to be honest we preferred this way, just easier to have it cleaned when needed. The staff are great fun and work incredibly hard, tips are always appreciated. There is music every night in the courtyard, however the bar does stop serving at 11pm. In short, it is the best place in the carribean we've been to, and as others have said if you want 5 star luxury at a 3 star price - go elsewhere. But if you want a fun relaxed, friendly hotel that's typically carribean, and a great place to meet new friends you will love Jolly beach.

    Absolutely one of the best resorts l have stayed at. Service was excellent. Food was great. Beach was breath taking. Can't wait to go back. Only drawback is that the rooms are quite outdated BUT very clean!

    Overall it was a great trip. The resort could use some updating from the rooms to the common areas. The beach was very nice. You just have to get your way through the savage seagulls that hang out by the burger stand. Staff is very friendly and always willing to go out of their way! Resort food was so so, didn't expect much from an all inclusive!

    It's OK... You can tell it's a budget all-inclusive.. lots of French and British and Canadian tourists.. the rooms are on the small side but they are comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. But it is somewhat rundown I'm starting to show it's age. There are no elevators on the property so you may want to get a lower room if you have trouble with stairs. All that said probably the best beach on the entire Island absolutely beautiful.

    Jolly beach was fun but peaceful at the same time. My girlfriend and I had an amazing time. The staff always were ready to help with a warm smile on their faces. The room was small and comfy with a nice balcony over a beautiful view. There wasn’t a lot of food selections but we made the best of it. We definitely will be going back in the future.
