Hermitage Bay

My review Wow! Where do I even begin with my stay at the Beautiful Hermitage Bay!? The general manager Rachel has crafted a masterpiece in the Caribbean island of Antigua. This all inclusive resort defines luxury & relaxation with a sprinkle of kindness through culture. Management went above and beyond upon arrival to make my stay smooth and easy. I was dealing with some last minute issues outside of the hotel and the team was very understanding and helpful. Upon arrival I found myself arriving late without a view, but the following more being able to see the sunrise over the property is something you can’t forget. The rooms are large, fun and very accommodating for any size traveler. Rebecca and Micheal really went above and beyond to make sure I was able to have the best experiences on property possible. The spa and massage I had was one of the best I’ve had in a long time; their team is highly talented. Activities were also really great, I did paddling boarding, which, in their water is so blue it’s a fun morning activity. Resort food manager stayed extremely diligent, made sure everything was always on point, but also provided a relaxed vibe to the guests through the entire day & night. The sushi happy hour lived up to its hype, great choices and unique dishes. Just a near perfect experience. I can’t wait to come back & already miss everyone I got to meet there. The staff & team make this property one of my favorite. Thank you again!

Pure relaxation and romance at its finest! We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at Hermitage Bay and it was bliss. Excellent food, beautiful beach, a great spa and staff that spoil you completely. Can't recommend enough!

We've been fortunate to travel throughout the Caribbean, but this was our first stay at Hermitage Bay. We will be back for sure!! Hermitage Bay is one of the highest quality resorts in the Caribbean. The staff are welcoming, professional and clearly enjoy what they do. The grounds are stunning and the accommodations have a great, relaxed island vibe, with all of the modern comforts that you expect at a five-star resort. While it's difficult to describe how relaxing and well-done the general atmosphere is, it is impossible to describe the quality and variety of Hermitage Bay's culinary offerings. We were there for 7 days/nights and didn't have time to try all that we wanted, which sets it apart from many all-inclusive Caribbean resorts. Daily dinner specials are varied and creative and the 4:30 sushi/cocktail hour is a highlight of every day. Even the breakfast and lunch menus, which don't vary on a daily basis, offer great variety. The bartenders and wait staff are friendly, funny and attentive. Live music everyday at lunch and dinner puts the experience over the top!! Our only constructive comment for improvement relates to the fitness center. While every other feature of the resort meets a five-star standard, the fitness center is cramped, poorly ventilated and has out-dated and/or malfunctioning equipment. It's actually a strange contrast to everything else at the resort and should be remedied. Hermitage Bay provides a top-tier Caribbean getaway. Their airport transfers are seamless and from the time you arrive to the sad time that you leave, everyone makes you feel like you are a repeat customer, which we now will be!!

We had an amazing 5 night stay that Is difficult to put into words to describe what an incredible Hotel this is. From the moment you arrive and take in the gorgeous view of the Caribbean you will have a sense of instant relaxation. The staff is absolutely incredible and truly there for you at every moment that you need them. You can tell they all truly love what they do and appreciate where they work. We had a Ocean view hillside villa which was just beautiful with a pool and huge outdoor area overlooking the Caribbean with the most amazing views. The food is excellent and we never had a bad meal, we were lucky enough to be able to enjoy the pop up restaurant La Petite Maison, which was our favorite for delicious lunches while sitting at a table in the sand. Do not miss the sushi happy hour at 4:30 if you are a sushi lover! The chefs are amazing and the sushi is incredibly fresh and perfectly prepared! This was our first trip here, but we are certainly looking forward to looking out next one as soon as we get home!

We had a wonderful time at Hermitage Bay! The staff were warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. They shared fun facts about Antigua and never tried to oversell anything — everything felt authentic and heartfelt. We tried four different water sports and loved them all. The resort’s daily snorkeling tours were amazing — you even get a quick motorboat ride and the chance to see some cool shipwrecks! Huge shout-out to Galloway and Tefari from the watersports team for helping us when we got stuck kayaking and paddle boarding. They were so calm and professional — we felt completely safe with them around. The spa teaser was also fantastic. The technician was very professional, and we left feeling totally relaxed. Sadly, we didn’t have time for a full spa session, but if you’re staying longer, don’t miss it! Lunch and the sushi happy hour were the best all-inclusive resort food we’ve ever had — fresh and delicious. The hotel also helped us arrange a horse-riding tour (with transport) that took us up a hill overlooking the Five Islands and ended at Hawksbill Beach — it was beautiful and absolutely worth it. There’s a small 5 % cash advance fee, but that’s very reasonable. We stayed four days and three nights and still didn’t have time to try everything. We’d love to come back soon！
