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. 

What a view, I love Antigua!

A beautiful morning at Hermitage Bay, local Antiguan breakfast, an adorable guest joined me and it is finally clearing up today!!

Some sunny views of the hillside suites

Yes, I will just sit here all day

Goodbye Hermitage Bay, I don’t want to leave…I will be back!

I love the beaches here in the hotel zone! This hotel is smaller and more compact than HRH Riviera Maya but is better for beach lovers.

I had a great welcome committee greet me!

Food is great!

Sooooo excited to go back to the Dominican Republic! It’s been a while and I do miss this gorgeous island! Thank you Playa Resorts for this opportunity to experience your resorts in Cap Cana.
