American University of Antigua Tours and Activities

Lovely Caribbean feel right in the heart of the Falmouth Harbor sailing scene. Gorgeous four poster platform bed with old world feel. Be aware that parking would be a problem, but we didn’t drive - cabs are easy to get. It is set on a steep hill so unless you stay in the main building you need to be able to negotiate the inclines. Finally, windows are just louvers and screens, not glass so the minisplit AC helps with cooling but not true air con.

Pros: The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was good overall. The rooms were modern and the plunge pool was cool although it was always pretty cold. BBQ night was great. Cons: The nearby beach was awful and not worth visiting. Lots of mosquito bites when eating at dining area even with bugspray. You can only get food during certain scheduled times and there's no buffet option. Sometimes the food portions were really small. You have to take taxis everywhere and they're not cheap because most places including the capital city are at least 30 mins away. The toilet closet wall does not extend all the way to the ceiling, so there's no privacy when using the restroom in your room. Overall, I would not recommend staying here.

This property totally disappointed. If I could get a refund I would have left the property immediately and went somewhere else. The property seems to have one been a very beautiful place to be however it's poorly maintained. On entering we felt as if the property was abandoned and we had been scammed on Expedia. There was no room service so the room was never cleaned for the 5 days we spent there and towels weren't replaced. In arrival I asked the manager of they were expecting us cause the room was dusty, they're was cobweb, no nah for the bin in the toilet, no soap by the sink, just used half empty tubes. They're wear no mosquito net as advertised in the picks. They're was Ann overgrown tree in the bathroom and no hot and cold water so night time showers required mental preparation. The water went twice and I had to call the manager and ask the security on the compound to assist. The pool was totally dirty and looks neglected. Someone came on the third day we were there to clean it. The best thing about this place is location as it's situated in the beach however because if the over grown grass you cannot enjoy the view from the beach chairs. You'll have to drag your own beach chair you get a better view. Breakfast was very limited. I must say the 4 daily staff member we interacted with, were very friendly and courteous. Overall I give this place 2.75 out of 5 stars
