Lavista Antigua

Karen and Michael were lovely and very helpful. The location was beautiful and tranquil. The pool was great and plenty of loungers and chairs The room had all the facilities you would need. It was a convenient location near to English Harbour, Nelson's dockyard and Shirley Heights.

The track to the property is challenging. An SUV or 4x4 vehicle is a must. There were plenty of taxi's going to and from English Harbour, not sure what they would cost as its a 20/25 minute ride each way.

On arriving we were met and directed to the property by Karen so there were no issues with getting lost. Both Karen and Michael were fantastic hosts, giving us privacy when needed and happy to have a chat and answer all our questions. We organised a family gathering at the property and Michael very kindly set the traditional BBQ alight for us (we booked the property to greet the arrival of our grandson participating in 'The World's Toughest Row') The views across Mamora Bay are beautiful and the sunrises spectacular. There are plenty of spots around the property with terraces running down to the sea where there is access for swimming or snorkeling. Although our family were at different spots around the island this would be a good place to book for a family special occasion.

Not much to say here. The 1.2 mile drive along the dirt road can be a little daunting when first driving it. On that note it would be best to hire an SUV rather than a small low car.

Absolutely beautiful quiet spot (except for the crickets!) - very relaxed. Perfect place to unwind. Karen & Michael very helpful and delightful - even made us carribean Xmas breakfast. Wonderful snorkelling from the site - sea so clean and beautiful fish very shallow near the steps in. Lovely accommodation

Felt a bit isolated as nowhere to walk to eg a beach bar. Took 15 mins on dirt track to tarmacked roads. 4 wheel drive car recommended and visit to supermarket before arriving.

Hidden Gem in Antigua If you're looking for the perfect blend of Caribbean charm, quiet luxury, and natural beauty, look no further than this small, unforgettable hotel tucked away on the coast of Antigua. From the moment we arrived, it felt like our own private paradise. The property is intimate and beautifully maintained, with just a few villas that make it feel exclusive and personal. Ours was modern and cozy, equipped with brand-new appliances, strong Wi-Fi, and thoughtful touches that made it feel more like a boutique resort than a rental. What truly set this place apart, though, were the little surprises: a small herd of friendly goats that roamed a nearby grassy area, a scenic trail that lead to the hotel (behind the property) perfect for a sunrise walk, and a secluded ocean access spot that felt like our own secret cove. The view overlooking the bay from our room was breathtaking seeing crashing waves in the distance and many birds and fish ! This place strikes that rare balance between rustic charm and upscale comfort. You’re close enough to explore the island, but far enough to truly disconnect and unwind. It’s peaceful, beautiful, and full of character. We can’t wait to return. 5/5 stars

Wish we stopped to feed the goats!
