... and the Carlisle Bay Resort has one of the best on the island of Antigua. Nicely tucked away in the peaceful Carlisle Bay the resort is a great location to relax away from the busy beaches (packed with cruise line passengers), but also an ideal starting point to visit the famous English Harbour and other sights on the island....

We stayed her for 5 nights in an Ocean Suite on Half Board basis. Negatives - It was Spring break when we arrived and it felt busy on the beach. The resort does attempt to geographically separate couples from families, but unless the jetty is relocated down the other end of the beach, I think this will always be an... More

We’ve just returned from a fortnight’s break at Carlisle Bay with our two young children (aged 4 and 2). Having read the two last reviews below I felt compelled to write something as our experience was so much better. We were in suite 31 for our stay and next door to the reviewer in suite 33 and while we agree... More

Great location and superb beach but while service is friendly it is far too slow and food quality not great. Bbq on the beach last night a disaster with cold food which ran out and staff not on the ball A pity as beach is great but food and service doesn't deliver the experience. Inconsistentcy in service and quality is... More

I've only been here a couple of nights and will update this if things improve, but so far I'm disappointed. Service is incredibly slow in the restaurants and the staff, while friendly, doesn't seem particularly focused on getting their jobs done. I'm a pretty relaxed customer, particularly when in resorts where staff are sometimes unappreciated, but the service in the... More

We are discerning travelers who took a chance on little known Carlisle Bay. It turned out to be an amazing hotel; with excellent service, terrific and diverse food (including an italian pizza oven) in a beautiful location. The people working at the hotel; whether beachside, porters, or in restaurants -- couldn't be nicer. Couple are smartly booked in rooms on... More

This place is faultless for a family winter break. Try going to bed as we did by turning off the aircon, starting the ceiling fan, opening the French doors and closing the mosquito screens, whilst listening to the Caribbean's gentle swells break steps away on the beach and the wind in the coconut palms. No need to set the alarm,... More

We had our 7th visit to Carlisle Bay in November 2011 and would say whilst there was nothing wrong with our first 6, this was the best yet. The service and quality is as good as ever but the expanded dining options in both Indigo and East made our stay a better experience. We continue to make new friends every... More
