TDY Gouge - Antigua

Antigua, West Indies - Club Antigua is a Great Resort/Hotel... Last time I was there a couple of years ago and it was $95.00 a night. Free dinner buffet and FREE BAR! Small rooms with no phones or TV, but, its right on a great beach with its own cove. WARNING! Don't use the pay phone at the lobby cause you'll get charged ship-to-shore fees and it adds up real quick. Other than that, GREAT PLACE! Jolly Beach Resort (phone: 268-462-0061) was a nice resort. This all inclusive was nice. Rooms are a little dated and small, but the beach location is fantastic. We were greeted on arrival with cocktails, and the overall service was excellent (despite slow check in and check out). Food was average, but for free... so who cares. Pools were great as was the scenery. For dinner, if you choose the seafood restaurant, don't bother paying a surcharge for the surf and turf or other seafood specialties, as it wasn't fresh seafood, and you'd be better off saving your cash for seafood at home. There is a Sandals resort on the island, which I am sure is more modern and probably nicer, but we didn't get an option.
