The best all inclusive hotels in Antigua
So, you have decided on an all-inclusive holiday to Antigua but you don’t know where to stay. Finding the hotel you want to stay at is usually the hardest part of any holiday search, as photos don’t always do a hotel justice – or sometimes the photos look better than the hotel does in real life. With this in mind, we have put together a list of our favourites….
Galley Bay Resort & Spa
Galley Bay Resort & Spa is a refined unpretentious hotel with an intimate feel. This adult online hideaway is perfect for those looking to spend some relaxing time and escape from the daily routine and stress.

The Verandah Resort & Spa
The Verandah Resort & Spa is a great all inclusive hotel for families. The resort is large and surrounded by lush greenery wherever you go. There is an entertainment program for everyone to enjoy; you can go for a hike to Devils Bridge, which is nearby, have a windsurfing lesson, do a gym class or relax with some yoga or kids can even have a tennis lesson. There is so much to do (if you can drag yourself away from the beach!) tennis, snorkelling and mini golf for example so you definitely won’t get bored and it’s all included at no extra cost. There are two beautiful white sand beaches to laze on, one with a beach bar. There is of course a kids club and area for teens to hang out with table tennis, pool table and shuffle board.

Pineapple Beach Club
Pineapple Beach Club is an adult-only all-inclusive hotel, with a wide range of accommodation options, nestled amongst gorgeous gardens. The stunning white sand beach is lined with palm trees and scattered sunbeds. There are lots of areas to chill out with a cocktail, play a game of giant Connect Four and a large tiered swimming pool. Rooms are crisp and contemporary with a homely feel and the photos look just as the property does in real life. Pineapple Beach Club is located very close to Devil’s bridge which makes a nice walk (avoid doing this between 12pm and 3pm as it’s too hot). There are three restaurants and one grill restaurant which is called the Outhouse. The Outhouse sits high on a hill which gives you great views of the resort and the beach. Enjoy the spa, themed parties, snorkelling, kayaking, windsurfing and yoga to name a few.
Why we liked it: It has a relaxed holiday feel. The Oceanfront rooms are very spacious and you get great beach views.
