Beautiful water and island views
Traveled in June 2011. We had a large suite with a great view at the Antilles Point Pleasant Resort! It was a one-bedroom suite with 2 bathrooms. It was hard to find that in the Caribbean, but we got it here for a good price. The suite was comfortable and the large balcony overlooked the ocean and islands. We had our own kitchen so we could cook a lot of our own meals. I had read some negative reviews about this resort on other sites, but I don't agree with them. It was a very "pleasant" resort and with lots of room for a family. If you want luxury, go somewhere else. This place is basic but more than sufficient. There is a walk to the bottom of the steep hill to eat at Fungi's, a good place to get Caribbean food. We also ate at the nicer Agave restaurant. Both were good. But since the area of Red Hook was only a 5 -10 minute drive away, we also drove there a lot and had delicous fish, Mexican, and Italian food. We bought groceries there too. The beach below the hotel is very small and rocky. So we were told we could use the beach at the resort next door. We did that, but our favorite was just a 5 -10 minute drive away - Sapphire Beach! We went swimming and snorkeling there in the gorgeous blue water. Our suite also had no hot water, but honestly, it was in the 90's so we didn't mind cold showers. Only one cockroach got in the room. Friendly warm people and service. I recommend this hotel!!!!
