It's Party Time! Antigua Carnival 2018

Antigua Carnival – these people know how to party!

If you’re heading to Antigua this summer, then you’re in for a real treat. The island of Antigua celebrates the spectacular Antigua Carnival from 27th July until 7th August 2018 and promises to be the party of all parties with plenty of music, dancing and colourful fun. Attracting people from all over the Caribbean as well as global visitors from around the world, the Antigua Carnival provides an opportunity for Antigua to show off everything it has to offer.
The Antigua Carnival begins to heat up in the weeks before with various beauty pageants and dance competitions but it’s the ten-day non-stop party that takes place at the end of July that is the big attraction. Celebrating the emancipation from slavery, Carnival holds much historical and cultural importance for Antigua and everyone joins in the celebrations in one way or another. Competitions are a major part of Carnival and the Party Monarch and Calypso Monarch competitions are two of the most popular whilst the election of Miss Antigua always draws in the crowds. J’ouvert takes place on Carnival Monday when the capital of St Johns packs out with people dancing to the bands and Carnival Tuesday reaches a crescendo when St Johns is filled with a flurry of colourful costumes, frantic dancing and beautifully dressed floats.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Music plays a massive part in the Antigua Carnival celebrations and includes genres such as calypso, steel drums, soca music and reggae and everyone gets into the party spirit. Alongside the main events, there are numerous smaller festivities taking place throughout the island of Antigua such as food fairs, parades and cultural shows, so wherever you may be staying you’re sure to enjoy a part of the Antigua Carnival.

My recent travel was sadly horrendous. The issues start with information for my flight to my hotel stay. I had to email and call SN for my final holiday details as my date for travelling were nearing. This filled me with anxiety. My hotel itinerary was different to my friends, I had room only booked with no breakfast meal, the lift to our hotel floor was not working properly, there was no one to help us with our luggage to our room on the 18th floor, we had no hot water to shower after travelling for hours, I could not close the blinds to my window, so was completely disposed to all to see me in my room, the room itself was not very clean. My friends in another room also experienced the same issues as well, and we spoke with other guests who were equally disappointed. We complained almost every day, and eventually spoke to the hotel director Bill Russell (that's the name he gave us) Bill informed us that a waiver of 1 nights stay would be returned to us as soon as SN travel were contacted and informed. Sad to say this was my first time using SN and will be the last. DO NOT GO TO THE MANHATTAN AT TIMES SQUARE HOTEL!!! This place needs to be completely refurbished. We await to find out if we will have further contact with SN Travel & The Manhattan.

SNTtavel are truly amazing helping me pick a last minute spot to treat my daughter and myself to an indulgent 3 night getaway at the Royalton resort located at 5 islands. Shaped the remainder of our stay in Antigua and Barbuda. Family friendly well updated resort with great staff. Felt safe and secure throughout our stay.
