Nicely positioned in the hills above Jolly Harbour is Sugar Ridge. Sugar Ridge positions itself apart from any other resort in Antigua. A 4 star luxury boutique Antigua resort there is no other at this price point so it remains a popular alternative to the formulaic Sandals or the boutique-boutique cocobay and cocos hotel. In fact it just about retains the intimacy of a boutique resort but has the facilities of a larger resort. You might like to check it our for your Antigua vacation. It is important to mention that this resort is not on the beach however there is a service to transport you directly.
