Hammock Cove Antigua - All Inclusive - Adults Only

WOW! The views, the food, the private bungalows complete with plunge pool, and the impeccable service!! We had an incredible girls trip in Antigua!! Highly recommend!! Jahson was our personal ambassador and he thought or our every need!!

This was our first time to Antigua. We've been to many all inclusives in the carribean over the years, but nothing beats Hammock Cove for luxury. We visited the resort for 10 days at the end of February through the beginning of March. Each couple has its own detached villa with a bar, private patio and plunge pool. Note: the pools are not heated but as a Canadian this was still very pleasant temp. The rooms are supplied with top shelf liquor. The California king beds are very comfy and the pillows are plush. The bathrooms are large and double shower is very large and nice. Water pressure is good too. As mentioned in another recent review on this site, someone was talking about the rooms needing updating... the resort is 5 or so years old and a new section of 10 units were added just this year. We stayed in one of the original units and I can't imagine what the reviewer saw, but everything was updated from what we experienced. As a vegetarian, eating at all inclusives can be difficult. This resort is amazing for Vegetarians! Chef Marco has created amazing vegetarian meals which change each day. He will even create a personalized meal to meet your dietary restrictions. I cannot say enough about the food at the lighthouse restaurant. For the most part the service was great. Troy took very good care of us. The bartenders Joell, Shamarke, Shawna, Nigel and Erik all were very friendly and personable. The beach has some pros and cons. First the pros; All of the beach servers are very nice and helpful. One of the beach servers Julio is literally the best. He would move your umbrella to make sure you are protected from the sun without even having to be asked. He will walk drinks out into the water to you. He is the epitome of what luxury service is. Thank you Julio. Hammock cove provides special food days at the beach. Aside from the beach menu they also have Seafood BBQ, oysters and champagne as well as caviar, among many other things. Being a vegetarian they arranged to bring tofu veggie skewers to my beach chair. Unless you want one of the 6 or so umbrellas on the actual beach you never have to race down in the morning to claim your chairs. There are plenty of seats to go around. As for some cons; The food and drink service could be a bit quicker. The top shelf liquor isn't available at the beach bar. Also the beach bar closes at 4pm. (2hrs before the sun goes down). The beach itself is small but the water is shallow and calm with a nice sandy bottom. This resort is quiet, with minimal nightlife. The bars on the resort are open till 10:30pm. If you want a party vacation you are looking at the wrong place. This is the perfect spot to unwind and let life's worries and stress drift away. We met quite a few Honeymooners as well as Retirees during our time and both demographics equally enjoyed their experience at Hammock Cove. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hammock Cove, and can't wait to return to this little piece of heaven on earth.

When we arrived, we were treated to cool towels and cold drinks. Once we arrived in our room, we never wanted to leave. The property is beautiful and people who work here are genuinely happy. On the third day, we met the owner who wanted to make sure that we were enjoying our stay. The accommodations are so awesome, you won't need to leave your room if you don't want to. The food is a bit limited, but it's good and well prepared. Since you are on an island, some kinds of fish (ex Salmon), may not be readily available. I would encourage all visitors to take advantage of the island tour. The history and pride the beautiful people take in their home is heartwarming. My husband and I plan to return!

Food, drink and service are great. Chef Marco is the best. All the staff go out of there way to treat you right. hope to go back for the third time. Butlers bring you anything you want. Had my birthday there chef prepared my special request. please take me back there. We were there for 9 days at end of April.

We just had a wonderful stay at Hammock Cove. All the staff went above and beyond! The view from our villa is amazing! The Ambassadors made sure we have everything we needed. They gave us a planner which is great as we don't have to worry about booking dinner reservations etc on a daily basis. The Front desk team are always happy to assist whenever we have some inquiry. The food are impeccable, the liqour selection are top scale for an All Inclusive resort. We were celebrating our anniversary and we arrived to a room fully decorated. All in all it was a memorable experience and we cannot wait to come back!

Food at Irinas is very good for the most part. At the 7 course meals some of the dishes are just okay. I would do 4 course and have all the dishes be great. The food at breakfast never changes and service is not 5 star. It is 3 star at best. The beach/pool service is awful. If you do not want the worst liquor brands you need to go to the main bar to get a drink yourself. The staff is not providing 5 star service. Most are very young and do not appear to be trained how to greet, treat and service in a 5 star hotel. They need to be trained on how 5 star hotel is run and how to take care of the guests. Maybe they should adopt the Ritz Carlton model of ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen. The bathrooms in the main bar and by the pools are not serviced regularly. I had to remind staff that there were no towels to dry hands add that they needed service them. We constantly needed to ask for ice for our room each day. We along with a number of guests got some sort of food poisoning and are now on antibiotics.
