Having read some of the previous reviews we were slightly concerned about what awaited us at Carlisle Bay. We need not have worried! The location of the hotel is beautiful, peaceful and very private. Whilst I would agree that the sea is not the clear turquoise that can be found in other places on the island the bay is nevertheless... more

My husband and I stayed at Carlisle Bay for a week last November. We want to return but I though I'd look at Trip Advisor for Hermitage Bay - just to try somewhere different. I have just read the review below from Sid and it is all about the cost. Carlisle Bay is a beautiful place - so how he... more

My Husband and I stayed at Carlisle Bay for our honeymoon (November 16-23). I was shocked to see how the reviews compared to our stay. We have taken many vacations together as well as with other couples over the past 5 1/2 years together and we always try someplace new. This was a terrible decision this time. The actual entrance... more

Writing this review on a rainy afternoon in my room at Carlisle Bay. This is the last day of my wife's "babymoon". This is our first trip to Antigua as our planned trip to the FS/Nevis was sidetracked by Hurricane Omar and the closure of the FS until the first of the year. Overall, have to say we would have... more

Obviously some biff about this place. Just back from a week and it was all working pretty well. I don't have kids, so don't care about the kids club...for me the fact that I didn't see/hear it is a definite plus. Not that I'm a grumpy old git or anything, but well...well, you know.... My room was spotless, well serviced,... more

Having visited Carlisle Bay last year as a couple, we were thrilled to be able to return to the same resort as new parents. However, excitement had turned to nerves once I'd read the previous reviews... but I needn't have worried... it's still fabulous! The experience with a baby is quite different to that as a couple ... no sitting... more

Have just spent 10 days at the Carlisle Bay with my family, we had an enjoyable time. Reviews are very mixed here, but a lot of what has been said has merit. The welcome was very warm and friendly, the staff were very friendly, the rooms were good. We had a beach front suite. The second bedroom is very dark... more

We returned last week from 10 days at Carlisle Bay and had a wonderful time. Having read reviews here before we left I was a little worried as some of them were so negative. This is how it was for us: We were picked up from the airport and driven through the banana trees to the hotel. On arrival we... more

We (a family of four) have just returned from two weeks at Carlisle bay staying in a beachfront suite and have to say we thought the whole experience wonderful. Having read previous negative reviews it is fair to say we wondered if it had been money well spent. Well it most definately WAS. Upon arrival and departure we were greeted... more
