    No complaints.

    Provided a relaxing feeling, and the staff did their best to make you feel as comfortable as possible. This is what I was looking for to help rejuvenate myself.

    No sun on the room terrace. So if we used the plunge pool, we then had no sun to dry us. Not enough sun area around the pool with beds vs chairs. Food selection was very limited for an All-inclusive remote hotel. The snacks were only ever fried food (in the 3 days we were there). Something fresher and more options would have been good.

    Most of the staff were lovely and helpful The main was lovely Had a burger for lunch on the last day. It was amazing !

    The birds coming around during breakfast/lunch but that’s beyond the staff’s control. The food was good but I did wish there were other restaurant options nearby as this property is far from everything else.

    Staff were friendly and the property overall was beautiful. I enjoyed the room.

    But as a hotel, you need to do more concerning the birds in the morning. I found this off putting and experienced bird poop on my clothes and my dinner table. The constant flying on to tables and taking of food was annoying.No floor mats in rooms. Floor can become quite wet from the shower or if it rains outside. Plunge pool states 1.5 my partner is above 6ft and was able to use the plunge pool more than myself as I was too short to use it, effectively. Slightly disappointed about it as it the focus point of why we choose the hotel.

    Breakfast was good, staff were wonderful. The room was lovely. Food was great too. Bar staff made lovely drinks. Thank you so much for my birthday treats. It was quiet and a relaxing atmosphere. The panoramic views were awesome. Would defo come again. Shout out naisha, Genia, Ronaldo & the staff who worked on my birthday 12/08/24

    Relaxing few days at Escape!
    • Leisure trip

    Sometimes the service could be a bit spotty or abrupt. Generally whilst the food was fine it could be a bit repetitive, especially if you are staying there for a while and a bit limited on what you like to eat. The beach was ok but if you expecting the best Antiguan beaches then this isnt the place. Please ditch the karaoke night, especially when people are still eating dinner, really is an odd change to the vibe of the place for a night!

    The resort is an escape as the name suggests, its a relaxing retreat and was a perfect start to our stay in Antigua. The room was really nice with great views of the bay. The plunge pool was perfect for the hot days. I liked the fact that the entertainment was usually low key and being able to chill out under the stars on our pool deck at night was amazing. Generally good and friendly service, food was on whole fine and I could always find something on the menu to eat. I really enjoyed being able to take a kayak from the dock and explore the bay. Whilst we were there Rokuni was still open and it was amazing to visit for the afternoon, its a shame it is closed now and hopefully something just as good will open in its place.

    Breakfast was good, need more veggie/pescatarian options and local food options. The staffs were very kind. The bartender/dj/mood setter (forgot his name) makes an awesome rum punch and alot of other smooth drinks. The view around the property was great.

    The beach whilst a beautiful bay is but suitable for swimming, it is very shallow and there is a lot of seaweed. If you love to swim in the sea or go to the beach then you need to rent a car to get to one of the many other beaches on the island.

    The resort is very intimate with only 40 bungalows and for adults only. The location is stunning. All meals are served and the quality of the food is excellent. The rooms are very spacious with a large terrace and plunge pool.

    The wifi went down for a few hours a couple of times, as did the water on a couple of mornings. Occasionally some of the restaurant staff forgot orders or got them wrong, but that didn't detract from the experience. It would have been nice to have one item on the menu at each meal that was local and traditional Antiguan food. The communal pool and private pools needed a little TLC and maintenance.

    The staff were attentive and helpful - Wane in particular - sensational Rum Punches and a top guy who couldn't do enough for you. the whole vibe was relaxed and easy going. The location was great, and the place was excellent value for money. It was really easy to switch off. The private pools were great for cooling off in the afternoon sun.

    A taxi booked by the property failed to pick us up one night so we had to make our own way back. Also the internet was out for 2 days in our room. Would also have been good to have access to a water fountain or bigger bottles rather than getting through dozens and dozens of small ones.

    The food was delicious, the view was amazing, the staff were nice. We had a lovely relaxing holiday.

    Leston (bartender) requires customer service training. There is not much to NOT like once you do your research and understand how the facility operates. Whenever you travel outside of your country, you SHOULD do your research to set your expectations and have a great time.

    Once you understand that it is not your typical AI experience, you're able to NOT compare the facility with any other AI. 95% of the team were very welcoming and accommodating. Most of the meals were delicious; however, breakfast was repetitive and had no creativity. Bartendars were excellent EXCEPT one!!

    The shuttle bus for the beach was a little haphazard, especially for the return journey. There was no return shuttle bus that worked well for lunch in the restaurant. The choice of snacks at the beach bar was disappointing but otherwise it was a great facility.

    The food was wholesome, the location was pleasant and there was a good choice of drinks available. The service was generally good. The private plunge pool was a nice touch and the main pool was well appointed, with plenty of sun loungers around it. The beach, once there, was very pleasant.

    Our air conditioner made a slight noise and I could’ve used another bed coverlet. No one ever mentioned Half Moon Bay to us and I regret not going. The plastic kayaks could use an upgrade and if the dock was better this could be an excellent addition to the property!

    The staff was extremely knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly. The rooms were well appointed and clean, the bed was very comfortable and the plunge pool was great! I appreciated the mosquito spraying. The drinks were all delicious. The birds at the cafe became a bit annoying but it was no big deal!

    Excellent food and fantastic room but shame about the beach and the mosquitoes.

    The main issues were the resort beach and the mosquitoes. Whilst I appreciate that it was mosquito season, the mangroves in the resort were right below the apartments and restaurants. We had an extraordinary number of bites, and so did all the other guests, to the point where one couple asked to move to another resort. The resort did provide insect repellent but it was not deterring the sheer numbers of insects. It took the edge of the holiday experience, and for that reason, I would not recommend this resort at the time of year when mosquitoes are around. The beach was a short walk away and the actual beach was lovely - with a few palm trees for shade if you needed it. The issue was the sea - it was full of sea weed. We ended up hiring a car and visiting other beaches so we could actually enjoy the sea.

    The food was absolutely amazing! The staff were all friendly and professional. The property was clean and certainly met our expectations. In face it exceeded expectations and we loved the balcony with the plunge pool.
