Antigua Hotels
Antigua, the laidback island in the Eastern Caribbean region, has at least one beautiful sandy stretch of beach for every day of the year. However, the beauty of Antigua lies not only in its 365 gorgeous beaches but also extends far below the water line and far beyond the white sands.
Antigua’s many well-preserved coral reefs surrounding its complex coastline of harbors and volcanoes make for superb snorkeling and scuba diving. Additionally, the island’s 108 square miles of land surface enjoys the sunniest Caribbean days with warm trade winds blowing in, perfect for sailing.
Travelers have a great time losing themselves in the dizzying multitude of activities that Antigua has to offer, from horseback riding to hiking, cricket, and so much more. Antigua hotels are numerous, most of them located just a short walk away from the nearest beach or the nearest shopping hub.
Below are some top Antigua hotels you might want to consider:
The Admiral’s Inn
As one of the two Antigua hotels located in Nelson’s Dockyard, the Admiral’s Inn has the whole history of the island of Antigua right under its belt.
It was in 1788 when Admiral Horatio Nelson of the British Royal Navy found Antigua’s English Harbour, considered a “hurricane hole” because of how it could naturally shelter any ship from violent storms as well as hide an entire fleet from enemy’s eyes.
The Admiral’s Inn was once one of the several buildings built in the dockyard, using bricks brought all the way from England as ship’s ballast. It used to be the engineer’s workshop. Now, some 200 years after Nelson’s time, this Antigua hotel has been renovated and modernized though its old British charm remained.
This Antigua hotel offers 14 double rooms with a private bathroom and shower each, free transportation by boat or car, and a restaurant that serves three meals a day.
Antigua Beachcomber Hotel
Combining warmth and relaxation that are the staple of Antiguan vacations, the Antigua Beachcomber Hotel is situated right on the breezy northeast coast of the island of Antigua. Only three minutes away from the V C Bird International Airport, the island’s single airport, this Antigua hotel is extremely convenient whether you are a holiday maker out for some fun time on a tropical island or a business person in town for a conference.
