Sandals Grande Antigua

November 2022

Excited to meet up with some friends at Sandals Grande Antigua for a fun reunion. The resort is so pretty, the landscape lush and on the most beautiful beach, Dickenson Bay.

I love the Rondovals, circular freestanding rooms with a private outdoor area with a small pool and hot tub.

Time for the beach, Dickenson Bay is picture perfect 🏖

A beautiful evening started with a gorgeous sunset on the beach, cocktails around the resort, a delicious French dinner and a great time with friends 💗

Beautiful day for a boat ride around the island.

Jumby Bay Island Resort Antigua

November 2020

One of the finest resorts in the Caribbean, Jumby Bay Island Resort is a private island paradise surrounded by turquoise seas and powder white beaches.

With private residences and villas spread out over 300 serene acres, it’s safe and is exactly what people need now. A place to reconnect with nature, in an unhurried atmosphere with meticulous attention and service.

Welcome to Jumby Bay

Watching the storm roll in with a specialty cocktail

Jumby Bay Island Resort is a luxury all inclusive private island paradise. I love that there are about fifty private residences on the island, each with its own charm. This private island is two miles off the coast of Antigua with pristine white beaches and aquamarine water.

I LOVE the 1830 Bar! This and the Estate House are the signature bar and restaurant of Jumby Bay. The circa-1830 colonial-style structure is the oldest building on Jumby Bay. It features a varied rum collection, local artwork and private dining rooms that highlight menus from regions of the West Indies.

Good Bye and be back soon!

Hermitage Bay Antigua

November 2020

Hermitage Bay in Antigua is a luxury boutique resort nestled on the hillside of a hidden sandy bay. Just arriving after a long day and excited to explore this beauty!

The Hillside Pool Suites dot the mountain and have spectacular views from the open air rooms. You don’t ever have to leave them!

First glimpse of my Hillside Pool Suite at Hermitage Bay in Antigua. It’s absolutely beautiful even in the rain 💗

Look at all the space you have and the gorgeous hardwoods. The bathroom is even beautiful, especially when you open that window over the tub during the day.

I am ready for dinner but don’t want to leave my suite.

Look at how beautiful the dishes are, and they tasted even better.

There is live music every night, it is a great local band that plays jazz to reggae to modern hits. The resort is so small that you can hear it in the lounge and the restaurant which are both open air. It was the perfect volume as to not disturb dinner conversation but enough to make it lively, I really enjoyed them. After dinner you make your way over to the lounge to enjoy the music and a cocktail.

Good morning Antigua! I arrived yesterday after one of the worst storms the island has had in about 50 years. Everything was flooded and the skies were gray, it will be clearing up today.
