Cold rum punch. A spectacular pool. One of the best beaches anywhere. 

And did we mention it’s one of the best deals in the Caribbean? 

The newly-reimagined Jolly Beach Antigua, the legendary resort in Antigua, is reopening to guests in December. 

And that includes rates as low as $199 per room. Yes, that’s per room, not per person. All-inclusive.

Longtime Caribbean hotelier Rob Barrett and his team are revitalizing the resort so it’s “ready for fun in the sun” starting on Dec. 1.

It’s a re-injection of energy into a a property that is actually the largest hotel in Antigua, one that has always been one of the most storied places to stay in the Caribbean.

It’s set on a beach that’s regularly placed among the top stretches of sand in the region. That’s a tall order in a destination that has 365 beaches of its own. 

And yes, it’s a level of value that’s hard to find anywhere in the Caribbean, particularly in an island as sought-after as Antigua, one that comes with three restaurants, three bars, two swimming pools, a spa, tennis courts, a coffee shop, a game room and a fitness center, among other amenities. 

It’s a new kind of beachfront vacation in Antigua, “cheap and cheerful,” as the resort describes it, and easily one of the top affordable all-inclusive vacations in the islands.
