Hammock Cove Antigua - All Inclusive - Adults Only

All the reviews you will see on this resort are excellent but it just isn't so. The only thing going for it was (most of) the food at dinner. Breakfast and lunch food was not good at all-- even the most basic things like a hamburger just doesn't taste normal. It is "off" or processed or something. Milk is from a box. The beach is TINY- like it is crazy small. And you cannot see a sunset here which is magical in the Caribbean!- plus it is as far from the airport as you can go-- right near the choppy windy Atlantic Ocean. None of the their 3 small pools are heated which was not ok - but neither are the private plunge pools which was beyond upsetting. If your villa doesnt face the sun (and even if it does) the water will not get warm enough to put a foot in even if it is 80 degrees outside. Thin towels, truly rushed average house keepers that don't vacuum (maybe they broom?) and always forget something important. Here is the issue with service: it is poor. These people are untrained with flat unsmiling faces. They do not like their jobs and it shows. This is not a cheap place! Also, we never left the resort because there is no place to go. If you drink a lot- like you want to start at 10am and go all night- come here. But dont expect much else. You will be sick of seeing the same faces all day long in the restaurant and the beach. Yikes- never again.

One of the best all inclusives we have stayed at. This is a great resort for complete relaxation. Villas are large and include a large patio with infinity plunge pool, lounge chairs, and a swinging chair. Bathroom is huge and off of the bathroom is a walk in closet . With 24 hour room service you would never have to leave. The food is the star and Chef Marco is leading a great team in the kitchens. The menus change every day for every meal with some parts staying the same. Lots of clean and gluten free options too. Once a week, on the beach there is a seafood bbq, and another day a meat bbq. Breakfast and lunch are great with dinner being the star. On Wednesday’s, Chef Marco hosts a 7 course tasting dinner that is amazing! The other nights are 3 courses with some surprises. Iriana is the sommelier and she has some great wines that are included and of course more you can buy. Several nights with dinner there is live piano music. The steak restaurant opened for dinner during our stay and it is great too. A fun vibe and you can watch all the action happening in the kitchen. In room liquor is high quality and drink fridge is restocked every day with the ability to request more of your favorites. The ambassadors take care of all your requests and reservations Darts are available at the rum bar with Gabriel as the bartender offering rum tastings. There is a game room with a pool table, chess and scrabble. Beach is small but there are plenty of chairs available. Water-sports include paddle boards, kayaks, and a hobie cat. There is another sister resort next door and the ere beach is larger and you can request a day pass to visit. The resort is in a cove which helps block the windy atlantic. It offers a large area to explore via kayak and paddleboard. You can catch a catamaran for a snorkling cruise or go on a fishing trip from the dock at the beach. Devils Bridge National Park is next door and great to walk to anytime of the day. 4 shops are open to buy souvenirs. All of the staff are very friendly and Emily the cat is such a fun cat to visit with at breakfast and lunch.

Property is beautiful and staff are super friendly. The dinner experiences at the Lighthouse was also top notch with impeccable service. Rooms are awesome with the plunge pool and lounge area and fully stocked bar - we rarely left the room as we had all we needed!
