Girls Getaway to Jolly Harbour
Review Submitted: July 9, 2009
Date of Stay: June 2009
Me and my girlfriends had recently stayed at this villa for a week as a vacation getaway to Antigua and Barbuda. We had 9 girls in our group, with 4 of the girls staying at this villa and luckily our other friends were located right across the street at 219F.
The villa descriptions and photos are accurate. The owners, Teresa and Mark, are very helpful in booking the villa as well as providing a well organized brochure with images. Teresa had also maintained contact whenever we had questions and was ready to prepare us with tips for our trip. She kept in touch with us before and after our trip to ensure that everything went smooth.
Upon arrival at the villa, the place was cleaned and well maintained. The maids came twice during our stay and did a great job. My only suggestion is to bring a watch so that you can keep track of time. There are no clocks located in the bedrooms or house.
The villa is located within just a short distance (by foot or golf cart) to Jolly Beach, a grocery store, pharmacy, restaurants, pool, shops, etc.
Luckily we had a really cool taxi driver from the airport drop us off at our villa. We ended up calling him everyday to take us around Antigua. If you happen to run into him, his name is Ira. All the staff and locals are friendly and helpful.
If you're looking for activities and restaurants, a few suggestions that we enjoyed: Eli Eco Tour (snorkeling and cave hikes), Barbuda Tour, Rain Forest Canopy Tour (ziplining), Shirley Heights, Dennis' Restaurant, OJ's Restaurant, Shirley's Kitchen (in St. Johns). Best things to eat are the Creole Red Snapper and Garlic Lobster.
I would highly recommend this villa if you are looking for a place similar to home on your vacation to Antigua. I would definitely come back here in the future.
