Carlisle Bay Resort’s take on a Caribbean retreat is decidedly sophisticated, where plantation shutters highlight modern décor in a muted color palette of sage, gray and white. The ambiance is discreet enough for royalty – count Camilla Parker Bowles among recent guests – and a haven for exploration via sailboat or yacht. Three nearby Royal Yachting Association courses offer a prime opportunity to strengthen your captaining skills, and an endless network of coves and lagoons invites lazy afternoons of champagne cruises.

The staff is exceptional. Every staff member we encountered seemed intent on making our stay the best it could be. We were delayed due to snow storm departing NY. Throughout our stay management was attentive and accommodating. My husband and I visited with our daughter and son in law and infant grandson. The resort is very family oriented and the the baby’s room was fully outfitted with essentials to make their stay very easy. We had ocean suites which were recently renovated. They were very comfortable and offered beautiful views and easy access to the beach. We booked through Amex fine hotels. We were afforded late check out but unable to upgrade rooms due to lack of availability of rooms. This was expected during high season. The restaurants offered diverse menus. We opted for the all inclusive which is a must have. Without it, your food and drink bill would be very costly if you are mostly eating onsight. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Shout out to Leanne @Indigo for her outstanding service and the beach guys working tirelessly to serve us all day in the beach!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. We had rooms that were a step away from the beach and were always greeted with a warm smile from the staff there. Sydon stood out as one of the beach staff who went out of his way to make sure we were always taken care of and took time to make sure we had a great trip. We were very fortunate to come across such a beautiful place and welcoming staff.

Our stay at Carlisle Bay Resort in Antigua was disappointing overall. The restaurant service was good, with friendly and attentive staff. Unfortunately, this was the only real highlight. Management was largely absent and unresponsive during our stay. Booking through Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts proved pointless, as promised upgrades were ignored despite availability being shown on the hotel’s own website. My Leading Hotels of the World Sterling status was also completely disregarded - there was no pre-arrival communication or acknowledgement, despite assurances beforehand. For a resort in this price range, the rooms are outdated and clearly in need of renovation, which does not match the luxury image being marketed. In summary, good restaurant staff, but poor management, unmet benefits, and rooms that don’t justify the cost.

This is about their spa! I’m local and I like to treat myself sometimes and this spa is DEFINITELY a treat wow! Highly recommend

I cannot rate this high enough. We stayed in a 2 bedroom beach villa which had fantastic amenities. The resort itself is clean and has great amenities, you can go snorkeling and there are 4 restaurants. The staff is outstanding. The only negative is that there are many children running around.
