Jumby Bay Island

A wonderful experience from the moment you are picked up to the time you have to leave. If you are wanting to explore the island of Antigua this hotel probably isn't for you but if you are wanting total luxury and a great place to relax and enjoy a beautiful beach with fantastic meals it definitely is. Our room was beautiful with fine linens and towels and a gorgeous outside shower/bath area. Bikes are provided to tour the island. Our dinners at the Estate House were delicious in a stunning setting. We also thoroughly enjoyed the farm to table night. If we return we probably won't bother again with the beach BBQ.

The perfect family vacation and wedding. We were 10 people staying in a villa, "Sandy Cove" which was a great choice. We had a large heated swimming pool and a bay side beach, very private. The villa came with a butler and house manager, these two women worked so hard to make sure our stay was nothing short of perfect and it was. Behind the scenes there was also a small team that we can't thank enough for communication, and expertise in ensuring that everything on our trip was absolutely perfect. This hotel is so well coordinated, everything works seamlessly it was brilliant to watch. For a review, I can't even say this hotel is 5 stars, it went beyond that. For a family trip with 3 kids, I can't say enough good things about the place. They have a small farm on the property, a playground, a day care, water activities, games, multiple pools and one of the finest beaches in the Caribbean. The hotel spends stupid amounts of money combatting the problems of Sargassum, while unfortunately it does exist, the hotel had boats and trucks driving it away nearly all day to make sure we didn't see much of it. Some homes on North East probably get it worse that the south west of the island. Keep that in mind when booking. The food on the island is great, my one complaint in the whole 4 nights we were there, is the lack of variety. We ate at the estate 2 nights in a row, to find the same menu, breakfast while some items did rotate a majority didn't. But really not a complaint as there were so many options that you can make every day unique. The hotel also does a brilliant job with a rotation of "pop ups" that create a unique opportunity for new foods as well. And even the buffet menus have an al la carte option as well. So for my daughter who is too picky, she was able to get a waffle at breakfast or mac and cheese at night even when it wasn't an option at the buffet or on a menu per se. The hotel also makes it very easy to walk up to any bar or restaurant and order a drink or food. No wrist bands or what room are you in, sign this or that. Its just I want x cocktail and 5 minutes later you are drinking that cocktail walking to the next spot. Another thing I must comment on is the hotels capability to be a honeymoon hot spot while also being a family friendly hotel. throughout our stay we are on this huge island, yet you feel like this island is private for you. You barely run into people, maybe because it was more off season, I can't speak for Christmas or Thanksgiving but I can see enjoying the hotel equally if it was just my wife and I without our family, a different vacation all together or doing it again with the whole family in a few years. You earned a place in my heart forever Jumby bay and we look forward to seeing you again. Thank you to the whole team. And if you're on the fence on this hotel, don't be its an easy yes.

Wonderful stay. We were in room 12. It’s a bit off to the side of the property. In fact, it’s the last room on the far right when looking at the property from the pier. It’s called a junior suite, but it’s really a studio — there is no partition between the seating area and the bed area. It has a very nice large bathroom, with outdoor shower and tub. The front patio area faces the ocean, but much of the view is obstructed by a hedge. The unit is attached to a larger unit (number 11) and can be incorporated into the bigger one for larger parties. We found it to be nice and quiet, but that’s partly because it’s off the beaten path on the edge of the hotel property. The complex is very inviting and enjoyable. We appreciated the low key style. Not a party central location. Relaxing music during lunch and dinners. Only one live band while we were there for the beach BBQ event. The music was appropriate for the evening. Not too loud, but still upbeat enough for the scene. Dining at the Estate House is also a must do. Fine dining menu. Great drinks from a jovial team at the bar. And never ending Taittinger, not just at the Estate House, but throughout the property. We drank our fair share! The beach palapa set up is very nice and inviting. We obtained an umbrella about midway on the beach. Far enough away from the beach bar not to hear anything but the lapping of the surf on the beach. And did it only lap. No heavy waves. Just a very gentle, easy going lapping sound. Very peaceful and quiet. We also enjoyed the bicycles. Riding around the island on them was fun.

Thank you to the whole team of Jumby Bay. You did such a great job, to make our wedding perfect. The correspondence in advance of the wedding was great. Clear questions, clear answers. You overcome all the problems we struggle with. Thank you, Thank you!!!

Incredible! Every aspect of the trip was wonderful. We stayed for a week right before Christmas. The beach is beautiful, the food is delicious, and there were so many incredible activities that our children (age 3 1/2 and 1) loved. The staff was incredible. We accidentally crashed a staff event, and our daughter requested the band to play Purple Rain and they did and all of the staff joined in in dancing and clapping and were so welcoming. Highly recommend for anything from a couples retreat/honeymoon to family of young kids (like ours) or older children given the breadth of activities available. We definitely hope to come back!
