Pineapple Beach Club - All Inclusive

Firstly, this is a wonderful complex set around a stunning Caribbean beach, lovely pools, gardens & so many places to relax, no issue with beds & shade. Our Garden/sea room view room was perfect, with a spacious terrace, chairs, table & a sofa bed. I would say however that it was the 3rd attempt as the other 2 rooms were tired & had some fundamental issues. Thankfully reception staff were excellent in resolving our issues. Some of the complex is clearly in need of an upgrade. But there are some 'buts'. The all inclusive offering is disappointing - the food is at best average, even in the a la carte restaurants - they offer steak, but the cut of meat was poor & they would never prepare it as requested. The Topaz buffet restaurant overlooking the sea is stunning, but the food is left to stand far too long before replenishing. The guy on the steak station was clearing down at 7.20 despite the restaurant being open until 9.30, very shoddy service. Egg station staff at breakfast were excellent though. The drinks offering is poor - there are 2 house reds to choose from, the Cabinet is in our view un-drinkable & the Merlot just about - they don't change, so if you really like your red wine, be prepared to pay $45 per bottle. The cocktails are poor, hurriedly thrown together - they don't resemble what you would order in a good bar. Their attempt at a marguerita was abject, no salt in the rim of the glass... In the main, the staff in the restaurant & around the place are friendly & helpful. We couldn't say this at the bar however - they serve your drink, that's it, no friendliness or bon ami! You just don't expect this in the Caribbean! The entertainment is not for us - it's cheap, tacky & lacking in Caribbean charm - we didn't travel all that way to listen to half drunk shouti & sadly out of tune karaoke shoe offs! The DJ when on is quite unbearable, you can't hear yourself speak. It's disappointing that there isn't another bar with soft jazz or reggie music that you could enjoy after dinner. We escaped to a quiet area most nights. All that said, we enjoyed our holiday despite the buts, the place is so stunning. Special mention to Renee at the coffee shop & Catrice in the Topaz, along with wonderful service, they absolutely showcased the Caribbean charm you would expect.

We are a group of 9 traveling. It was all of our first time in Antigua. Age range of 29-70. Overall the pineapple has been really nice. It’s a very quiet resort. Definitely more of an older people vibe. Food: there are very few options for dinner. There are only two “formal” dinning options and are usually full. Would suggest trying to make your reservations right when you arrive. The buffet has been decent for dinner, different themes. Breakfast buffet is always the same. Lunch has a few options a snack bar and the buffet and a bbq grill out. The snack bar also offers late night snacks. The water is safe to drink here. Bring a re usable water bottle because they do not give you a water bottle. You can purchase water bottles in the gift shop. Property: very well maintained and clean. If you book an ocean view room, it is quite the walk up to your room. The rooms have been nice and clean. There are a lot of steps. Everything has been clean. There are a lot of birds around the buffet and sometimes actually in the food in the buffet. The pools are very nice and clean and warm. The beach workers have been trying to keep the seaweed cleaned up. No one comes on the beach to sell you things. Garth and Marvin do have an excursion stand, they are not pushy about selling excursions and have been helpful about answering questions. There are plenty of beach chairs and pool chairs. There are two beach towels in your room to start. There are water activities included, you can get snorkel gear and paddle boards. Staff: usually pretty friendly. The guy that works late at the snack bar was consistently very rude and throwing things around at times. The lady making dinner reservations was also very rude. The Bar tenders and wait staff were great. Drinks: the bartenders rotate around to different bars and then there is inconsistency in the drinks. Overall were good. The bar did run out of bananas and Diet Coke. Entertainment: falls very short. There is nothing going on during the day. At night there might be a dj or karaoke there are no shows and the dj or karaoke is very short lived. There is no music playing by any of the pools during the day. Things I would add to the list to do for sure: Swim with the sting rays Go to Shirley heights for the sun set.

We are threepeats to Pineapple, and each time is better than the last. Besides the beauty of the property, what makes this place truly special is the staff! From the check-in to housekeeping, porters, bar tenders, restaurant staff, tour staff, grounds keepers, spa staff, water sports staff , and the best entertainment and guest services staff, we can't wait to arrive and reconnect with the friends they have become. We even have our favorite taxi drivers (Javier, aka Sunday-Monday and Curtis). The resort is always a relaxing and refreshing experience, and the food is great! Thanks again for a great trip!

We stayed at PBC from late February to early March, 2026. We hadn't been back for four years and things have really changed - for the better. All the renos have elevated the experience significantly, the food is delicious, varied and excellent, with new restaurant offerings such as Orchid, and the customer service is top notch. Congratulations to the chef(s). Everything was delicious, especially at the speciality restaurants. It was our anniversary and Zhanira at Guest Services made it more special and memorable than I could have imagined. She beautifully decorated our room on arrival and arranged our anniversary dinner at the garden gazebo. We have been to Pineapple 14 times over the years, and each time it truly feels like we are coming home. We were so happy and touched to see so many of our long-time friends and super hard-working Pineapple staff including Kevin, Sonia, Jo-Anne, Tricia, Arlene, Vincent, Joyce, Delta, Sherri-Ann, and Anne Marie, to name just a few. And we met new and wonderful staff who made our stay extra-special as well: Kutrice, Jasper, Shakira, Elisha, Natoya, Clementina, Renee, Wallace, Delroy and Kady-Ann to name only a few. The woman who cleaned our room daily did a perfect job. Everyone was so lovely and made it feel like coming home. Thank you to everyone xo.

We just got back from Pineapple Beach after 8 days. Overall the trip was a huge success for my whole family. Views were amazing, food had many choices, the updated oceanfront rooms and the cats on the property were an A+++. The staff made the trip for all of us, but especially our kids who are in their 20’s. RoRo, Guan, Shariff, Renee made it a point everyday to have moments with my kids and make the day from start at the Cafe to the end with Entertainment at night. Thank you to the staff for making this vacation a memorable one!!
