Tamarind Hills Resort & Villas

We had the most wonderful time at this resort. The location is superb, offering breathtaking views from the beautifully and tastefully furnished villas. The staff and management are the warmest we’ve ever encountered. We’ve visited many island resorts, and while they are typically friendly, the team here is a few notches above the others. We had the pleasure of spending some time chatting with the friendly and down-to-earth owners, their five-star chef, who prepared special meals to accommodate our dietary restrictions, and the super helpful manager, Manish. They all went above and beyond to make this vacation truly memorable for us. As an added bonus, this place seems to be popular among celebrities and A-listers, who probably enjoy the quieter side of the island and the wonderful beach. We stayed at the resort during the cricket world cup and spotted several Aussie cricketers in the dining hall, who were in great spirits and happily agreed to take pictures with us.

We stayed August 2023. We loved our ocean front unit. The resort/community was stunning. It was offseason so the small beach felt like our private beach. There was another beach each side. We ate at Darkwood and Dennis’s on each beach as well as one night walking to Sheer rocks. I walked every day and each beach I came across was more stunning than the last. I loved it. We went through Coco reefs- great coffee! We rented a car a drove the island and loved Nelson dockyard. We drove up to the Shirley heights look outs but didn’t go to the bbq/party. We were there off-season so entertainment was pretty much non existent on site but we knew that. We were disappointed with the restaurant. It seemed like they were still finding their feet. I would say adding undisclosed relish or cheese to burgers for kids is not a good idea… Would we go back ..100% …..we looked up options to purchase…

My heartfelt gratitude for the incredible week I spent at Tamarind Hills From the very beginning, Nafuna made the reservation process smooth and effortless. Upon arrival, Concierge Obed's thoughtful arrangements for airport transportation and excursions throughout our stay were greatly appreciated. The warm welcome from your friendly staff - Adriono, Bancroft, and Operations Manager Manish - set the tone for an exceptional experience. Our single bedroom accommodation was in excellent condition, offering breathtaking views that left us in awe each day. I must commend your housekeeping team for maintaining such high standards of cleanliness throughout our stay. The food and drinks were consistently delicious, making every meal a delight. The stunning Ffryes Beach was an absolute highlight of our stay. Your restaurant staff deserves special mention for their friendliness and attentiveness, which enhanced our dining experiences. Thank you for making our vacation truly memorable. Your team's dedication to guest satisfaction is evident in every aspect of your service. We will be coming back in November.

We stayed at Tamarind Hills for 9 days and it was nothing short of a 5* experience. The property grounds were beautiful and well maintained! We were pleased with all the facilities this site had to offer (most especially the Pilates fitness class). I have stayed at renowned 5* hotels however Tamarind Hills has a special place in my heart and has left us wanting to come back. The staff here are so accommodating and friendly, they went above and beyond during our stay. I must acknowledge the astounding hospitality displayed by Addikarle, Bancroft, Obed, Terry, Kemet, Adriano, Marnesh and Cean. The staff here are such an asset to have and deserve much recognition! We have agreed to come back again because of this and now I understand why Tamarind Hills has so many repeat guests. I look forward to seeing the finished developments (the hotel store and new villas) when we next visit. I also look forward to seeing the roll out of new gym equipment. - Kind regards, Josephinè

My stay at the hotel was an absolute nightmare filled with disappointment and frustration. The staff managment and the owner displayed an appalling level of rudeness and lack of professionalism that left me speechless. The managerManish Goyal was the most nonchalant service Personsl I've ever met. His attitude was not only unprofessional but also bordered on outright hostility. To make matters worse, the hotel engaged in false advertising, luring guests with promises that were never fulfilled. The amenities that were boasted about were either non-existent or in a state of disrepair. It felt like a deliberate attempt to mislead and deceive guests, which is completely unacceptable. When I approached the management about my concerns, their response was dismissive and unapologetic. They seemed more interested in deflecting blame and avoiding responsibility than addressing the issues at hand. It was clear that customer satisfaction was not a priority for them. The hotel owner's behavior was equally disappointing. Instead of taking accountability for the poor experience, they displayed a condescending and arrogant attitude. It was evident that they had no intention of rectifying the situation or making amends. Overall, my experience at this hotel was nothing short of a nightmare. The rude staff management, false advertising, and lack of professionalism left me deeply dissatisfied. I would strongly advise against staying at this establishment, as it is clear that they prioritize profit over customer satisfaction.

Just returned from another great stay at Tamarind Hills, 10 years on from our first visit. Our oceanfront villa was superb and we spent a lot of time sitting on the deck watching the turtles, Eagle Ray's and an assortment of fish and birds from this amazing vantage point. The beaches at Ffreyes and Darkwood are exceptional. We were really looking forward to trying out the restaurant this time around as it was not complete on our last visit. The setting for both the beach bar and restaurant are great but the flies and mosquitoes are something else. The food was OK but limited choice especially for vegetarians and it was super expensive. We tried it once and then reverted back to our favourite the Fox House just down the road towards Jolly Harbour who also offer a free shuttle. Miracles was also great and over a delivery service. Car hire also a must to get to the local supermarket. Staff were super helpful with Bancroft a joy as always. They used to treat the whole area for mosquitoes on previous visits but this was not evident this time around. We came for the facilities and the view a bustling fly free restaurant would have got the 5 stars.

The beauty, the people, the comforts! We can not say enough good things about our stay. We stayed in a one bedroom at the top of the hill, the view was amazing, the room is very comfortable and beautifully designed. We felt like family and were very sad to leave. The staff is so accommodating and friendly, they will go out of their way to make sure you are happy. For example Whitney found my husbands sandals at pool one night and the next morning at breakfast my husband just happened to ask if anyone found any and she told him she found them at pool and went to get them for him! Wish we could remember all their names because literally everyone was friendly. We would like to thank Obed for all the pre trip help as well as his smile everytime we saw him there after. Also loved meeting Manish, he made us feel so welcome. Can't wait to come back!

Spent an afternoon and evening here, on the beach followed by drinks and dinner. Fabulous location. Staff really friendly and helpful. Dinner was delicious! Chef came out to check everyone was happy with their food - he was charming. I am a fan of risotto - this was the best risotto I have ever tasted.

We spent 4 great nights at Tamarind Hills. We stayed in a one bedroom that was located at the highest point of the resort. The room was lovely ( loved the French press for coffee) with incredible views. We had a car so we drove down to the beach. but I think they’ll transport you down if you ask. The resort is situated between 2 wonderful beaches though Fryes Beach is where you can get the amenities. Location is super convenient to some excellent dining options and a very good grocery store. Staff were lovely, especially at Wild Tamarind. Super quiet during our stay which we loved. We also thought Antigua in general was much more affordable than several other islands we have been to. We will definitely return.
