Jun 29, 2025Five Stars – A Fantastic Stay at Carlisle Bay
We had such a great stay at Carlisle Bay – it’s a beautiful spot and the whole experience was really memorable from start to finish. The setting is stunning, with the beach right on your doorstep and the whole place surrounded by lush greenery. Our room was lovely – really comfortable, clean, and felt like a perfect space to unwind. The food was consistently great throughout our stay, with lots of variety and everything really well done. But what really stood out for us was the staff – everyone was so warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful. A few special mentions: Jason and Seymour made us some fantastic cocktails and were always a pleasure to chat with. Dede at East looked after us so well on my birthday night – really appreciated the extra care. Garfield and Prince gave us an amazing boat trip we won’t forget. Michael was brilliant at breakfast each morning, always welcoming and on the ball. And a big thanks to Brian, the manager, whose attention to detail and approachability really stood out – you can tell he genuinely cares about the guest experience. We left feeling really looked after and already talking about coming back. Highly recommend. We will be back!

WINE TASTING cannot be missed
We met Michael (resort sommelier) when dining on Thursday night at their amazing East restaurant (dined there twice due to the impeccable service and sushi / Asian cuisine quality). He was super knowledgeable about wine and recommended an “orange wine” to pair with our dishes which was even better than the food. Michael encouraged us to try out his semi-private wine tasting which occurs every Friday in the coconut grove of the main restaurant and it was even better than the night before. Not only had Michael traveled throughout Europe, he educated us on how to taste the wine and even around the essence of the grape itself. Michael was entertaining and educational and was one of the highlights of our stay. He had a private tasting the second night but made a point to stop by our dinner table just to say hi to us and our kids (where somehow he even encouraged both boys to eat all their broccoli - a miracle by our standards) and ensured we picked out an amazing pairing wine even though he was off the clock. 10/10 would recommend the resort and every member of the staff was friendly and welcoming!

A fantastic location to enjoy the island, with amazing staff and service
Booked a Beach suite on the AI basis for 5 nights in March. Very impressed with the meet and greet service at the airport and private taxi transfer to Carlisle Bay. The large room was on the 2nd floor with a wonderful view directly onto the beach and ocean. The only criticism is, as mentioned in other reviews , the linen and bath towels are in need of replacement. Every member of staff is fantastic and cannot do enough for you. The AI basis includes all the restaurants and every meal was fresh and delicious. We particularly enjoyed the Jetty Grill which was adults only. An extremely relaxing stay, enjoying a beautiful part of the island.

The Perfect Resort for our Ideal Wedding Weekend
Where do I begin? Carlisle Bay was everything we had hoped for - and more - when it came to hosting our wedding weekend in Antigua. From the moment we arrived, if felt like we had our own private slice of paradise. The resort offered a variety of dynamic and beautifully curated spaces that made each of our events feel unique and special. We kicked things off with a laid-back welcome BBQ on the lawn with an authentic taste of the island through recommended entertainment and menu; we said our vows under the palms, and danced the night away in an open-air reception space that perfectly captured the island's natural beauty. The food? Incredible. Executive Chef Kumar was hands on with all of our events (he even cut his vacation short to ensure service and the menu were perfect - and it was!). Every request we had - no matter how outside-the-box - was met with an enthusiastic 'of course we can'. The waitstaff was beyond attentive, warm and genuinely kind - especially Winston! - making our guests feel completely taken care of throughout the weekend. A special mention to Jodie, our event planner and absolute MVP. I'm not sure there's anything she can't do - and does it all with a calm, confident smile. Her professionalism, creativity and heart truly brought our vision to life. The rooms gave our guests a peaceful and intimate escape, making it feel like we had the resort to ourselves, even with other travelers staying there. And the amenities from the beach and spa to the activities and service - were top-tier. Antigua will always hold a special place in our hearts because of this experience. Carlisle Bay, its people, and its stunning setting gave us a weekend filled with high vibes, unforgettable memories and so much love. If you're considering this resort for a wedding event or even just a romantic getaway - do it. You won't regret it.

Another great beach in Antigua
Great location/beach. May is coming to the end of the season so it was very very quiet. Plenty of car parking space and two places to eat. One at either end of the beach. Not much else around in the ways of public amenities and no water sports but the beach makes up for that. Nice in a way not to have water sports going on around you
