Ellen Bay Inn

the Chef was great, it is a small family owned place and they all chip in , the food was the best I had on the ISLAND in years. depending on your room and what you book, you get different things but the overal experience was great unless you want a more Eurocentric experience in the carribean, then the other Resorts are for you, but I love this little family Run place, was HOME.

It was great for the price.

The staff was friendly and helpful.

I feel overall my trip to Antigua was not what I had hopes it would be. It was very difficult to find lodging given the busy time and government interruptions cancelling flights. It was very lovely meeting the owners of the Hotel. I throughly enjoyed their communication when the time allowed for conversation. The area felt very safe and it was extremely quiet. It was on a hill so the view of the water was very nice. The hotel in itself had a lot of stairs so it was difficult for me with multiple bags and disabilities but I managed. The room was older fashioned, not modern and the sheets and pillow cases had holes in them, the pillows were more like couch cushions, not standard pillows in which I am not accustomed to. The location is secluded on the other side of the Island so there was nothing to eat in the area, you would have to take a cab. Most dining locations were not open late on the island either. The location is by a main attraction I wanted to go to, The Sting Ray City. They require reservations in advance so I was unable to attend. They did have a tortoise and bird sanctuary in which I loved. The hotel provided me with a discount voucher which I was grateful for. I ate breakfast and dinner at the hotel, which was prepared by the owners. Although I was grateful for the meals, I was not accustomed to the taste. I paid for free breakfast but there was a charge for all meals. Honestly the best part was the owners had an amazing story line that I enjoyed listening to.
