This Antigua resort had a refurb in 2017. Early reports are good with people raving over at trip advisor how good this place is. If you do read between the lines some say the furniture is dated and smaller rooms and beds are issues. they didn't see this spoiling their vacation of course. See below for a link to the reviews. Please let us know how you found the resort.

A rebrand happened in 2017 until now managed under the name Starfish so the Jolly beach resort was called the Starfish Jolly Beach Resort until recently. Now (2021,2022) the resort is closed pending sale or lease [another rebranding or closing (unthinkable)]. There are some quite sad videos of the resort in bad shape online currently. We hope it gets the tlc this Antigua resort deserves.

The Jolly Beach Resort is perfect for those travellers looking for a good, well-run hotel on the beachfront, without the 5* price tag and trappings. It runs an all inclusive plan that includes watersports food and drinks.

The Hawksbill Resort (by Rex Resorts) is named after one of its five beaches you can savour as they are all very good ones. Currently as other resorts remain closed this is one of the few remaining budget options. This is perhaps on of the best cheap Antigua resorts and it is all inclusive too.

The Halcyon Cove is located right on the beach in Dickenson Bay and is considered a 3* resort.  There is an average sized pool and a beach bar, with al fresco BBQ dining several nights a week and every lunchtime. A good family and value Antigua resort.
