We very much enjoyed our stay at Hodges Bay Resort. We stayed for 6 nights in June 2026. As this is Antigua's off season, the resort was very quiet, with very few guests. We stayed in an ocean front deluxe room. The room perfect. It was very clean and spacious. The balcony overlooking the ocean was large. We elected for daily housekeeping and our room was always refreshed and restocked when we returned to the room each day. The staff were all very friendly. Every staff member who walked by always greeted you. We travel in the summer for relaxation, so we stayed on property the entire time, except for 1 off site excursion. As such, we ate all of our meals on property. We are not really big into the food scene and simple meals are fine with us. The food in property was a bit expensive, but every meal we had was good. At the bar for lunch we ordered burgers, turkey club sandwiches, loaded nachos, and fries. All of the lunch food was excellent. We ate at White Sands for dinner all but 1 night and tried a variety of foods. The options are limited, but we were satisfied to eat there each night. One night we ordered pizza through a local delivery service. The pizza, included delivery and a sizeable tip was much cheaper than the hotel restaurant. The delivery service was "All Mart" and the pizza was from Sarkar's Pizza. My husband does not miss a workout even on vacation and he noted that the hotel gym was the best gym of any resort we have stayed at in the Caribbean. The hotel was great at communicating any updates regarding the property via text. For almost the entire duration, Prickly Pear Island was closed and at times certain restaurants which were scheduled to be open were closed, but it was always communicated via text. As the hotel is on the Atlantic side, there is a lot of seaweed in the ocean, however the staff works all day to move the seaweed from the shoreline, so you never get the smell of the rotting seaweed. Overall this was an excellent place to stay for vacation.

“Room For Improvement”

On arrival I was told that Prickly Pear island was not available but would be tomorrow. That was not the case - it was not available for the whole 4 night stay.

On arrival I was told that Prickly Pear island was not available but would be tomorrow. That was not the case - it was not available for the whole 4 night stay. On arrival to the room a damp smell was detected but we let that pass. We soon discovered why as later that night the fridge leaked a puddle on the floor. Reception sent a cleaner but of course the puddle returned whereupon we were advised to put a towel down. Given that this was the World Cup season i was looking forward to watching a game. No such luck as to TV reception. Three different people spoken to and three different answers forthcoming. The balcony door stuck, and a simple order for breakfast was messed up despite the call taker reading it back for clarification. There are positives in this resort. But these are sullied by the negatives.A stay here is not cheap and the expectations are high but they clearly cannot meet them. Pay attention Hodges Bay! The estate is lovely but take care of the little things as they are important. And be honest with your guests!!!
