LORD VIEW MANOR - Antigua and Barbuda

Enjoyable, modrate price, nice people. Nice view on the beach overlooking Falmouth Harbour.

This is what I would call a 3 star hotel. I was looking for something from which I could walk to the beach and from which you could walk to stores and restaurants. This was in my budget but significantly less expensive than many of the other hotels on the beach. This is connected to to Jolly Harbor resort which you share facilities with. The beach is really nice and we enjoyed hanging out there. One thing you need to keep in mind is that this place is basically an all inclusive which is optional and we did not do, so if we wanted to drink on the beach we had to either buy a cash card or go next door to Castaways, which we did. This was not a problem for us. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My only knock would be that they were never able to get me a working CD player and the complimentery toiletries seemed to change every day and we occasionally had to request things we were running out of. I enjoyed having the kitchen as we made our own breakfast everyday which saved us money as the restaurants are expensive. For dinner we went to some of the number of good restaurants within walking distance. The Acropolis was one of my favorites , the best lamb shanks I have ever had, and Miracles, out on the corner of the main street, with some truly great curry and lobster. I also liked being able to walk 5 minutes to the grocery store. Over all the place has some minor imperfections but we enjoyed our stay there and would stay there again.

The location and service are exceptional!

Very nice location with a view of the Yacht Club and marina. No beach but very close to restaurants and clubs which cater to the big boats. The Yacht Club bar is quite loud at night but friendly. Most of the people you will meet are Yacht crews. You are a 25 minute drive to the capital but a 10-minute walk to Nelson's Dockyard (a must see - great restaurants and bars)and airport. Pay WiFi but free WiFi at the coffee shop across the road overlooking the marina.

We loved this hotel and it was a great vacation all around.
