Hermitage Bay

This was the best trip ever!! Tarik too such good care of us at lunch at the pop up restaurant on the beach (which was STUNNING) . We also got to go wakeboarding with the owner Daniel who was so great and so fun ! Honestly I recommend this resort for EVERYONE! I will be bringing my fiancé back because everywhere you look is STUNNING and this resort has the best food (Nobo “level) and it is so peaceful and relaxing! I’m sod grateful to have been able to experience this place <3

No matter what your culture, food brings everyone together. Tarik pulls it all together effortlessly @ La Petite Maison and Hermitage Bay, Antigua. Food, atmosphere, service…….an experience of a lifetime!

I would rate our stay somewhere between a 4 and a 5. To me, a 5 indicates no room for improvement and that simply wasn’t the case but overall we had a very enjoyable stay. The good: - the landscaping of the hotel is beautiful and meticulously maintained. Stunning! - Service at meals was prompt (a rarity in the Caribbean). - For an all inclusive, the food quality was good. I wouldn’t say outstanding, but better than other all inclusives I’ve stayed at. We really enjoyed the specialty desserts at night as well. Also recommend the truffle rissoto and cod - really enjoyed the two theme nights - surf and turf and Caribbean night. Helped add some variety to the food during our stay - beach loungers easy to get & readily available. Plenty of space on the beach. Comfy lounge cushions on the chairs - room was big, spacious. Loved our patio right on the beach with the big lounge chairs. Amazing! - loved the outdoor shower - great turn down service at night - sushi happy hour at the beach bar was a super fun experience and included in the stay. The sushi was great - airport arrival experience and airport transportation was well organized and efficient - Simone & Kyle were the MVP’s of service. They took the time to learn our names, our drink preferences and provided exceptional service!!! Areas for improvement: - not a fault of the hotels but the bugs were awful. I wore bug spray all day and all night and still got tons of bites. Even at the beach there would be gnats constantly around our face unless there was a decent breeze that day - also not a fault of the hotel but for awareness the beach itself isn’t super soft. Plenty of shells etc. didn’t affect our stay but it’s not sugary soft sand - biggest area hotel could improve upon is service at the beach. We would sit down at our chairs and not one day did someone come bring us towels. Every day we had to walk over to the bar and ask after waiting for 20 minutes. They instruct you to put out a red flag if you need a drink. We did that and no one came (unless Kyle was working). So we’d have to get up and go to the bar and ask. There was one employee usually on in the morning that seemed genuinely annoyed when we asked for anything (ie towels or water…) as if it was an inconvenience to him. Also wish we could have ordered lunch at the beach but that’s not possible. The only bright side was times Kyle was working and he would come check on the guests regularly which is what I would expect from all employees at a resort like this - food was pretty good as mentioned above. But with only having 1 restaurant option, we did get a bit sick of the food by the end of 7 nights. I wish they would have had more options for rotating specials each night. - Hilton diamond status not acknowledged at all at check in. No upgrade. Neither a big deal at all but was disappointed our late check out request could not be accommodated - after our check out, we had to wait in the restaurant bar for hour and a half until our transportation to the airport and felt like we became ignored at that point. It was hot, and not a single restaurant employee that walked by us even offered us a water while we waited Overall a very very good stay but some slight tweaks in service above could take it to 5 stars.

We visited the pop up restaurant “La Petite Maison” at Hermitage Bay on 6th December 2025, and the experience was truly unforgettable. The setting offers an amazing view of Hermitage Bay, creating the perfect backdrop for a relaxed dining experience. From the moment we arrived at the reception, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and Tarik, the restaurant manager, ensured everything was seamless. Our entire experience felt like a journey to the French Riviera, starting with petit farcis, mahi mahi tartar, and escargot, all made with the freshest ingredients and bursting with flavour. The main courses featured truffle pasta, king prawns, and lamb, each dish cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. The desserts were delicious and the cheesecake is a must try! Highly recommended.

After traveling extensively around the globe, from the tropics to remote islands, I can honestly say I’ve found my slice of paradise at Hermitage Bay in Antigua. The resort is a perfect blend of natural beauty and luxurious comfort. Every detail, from the stunning views to the exceptional service, made it clear that this is a truly special place. If you’re looking for a hidden gem that feels like a dream come true, Hermitage Bay is it.
