just returned from JB on 30th August after 7 days with wife and two sons (age 15 & 7). Have been before and returned because our boys like the freedom of having the resort to wander around and feel safe. Hotel - It is very tired - rooms are passable, cleanish but need a refurb - bathrooms are small but... more

Unfortunately I cannot write what a great time was had by all.Our experience was not a pleasant one, the staff didn't think they had to be nice to there guests.Definately not enough choices at Dinner time.And when you let bus loads of children come in and use the pool without warning is down right unexceptable..Not when your guests are paying... more

It is how it looks in the brochure, blue sea white sand, huge pool.......................this was our second visit to this hotel in under 2 years, our first visit did disapoint us slightly due to the amount of money we paid I expected better standards of rooms & more all inc food menus, but to be honest the beach is the... more

A group of 15 (8 adults and 7 children) stayed at the Jolly Beach Resort from 1st to 15th August. We had a problem on arrival whereby one of the four families travelling with us had not been allocated an adjacent room although we had requested this by e-mail to the hotel before our holiday began. The staff did manage... more

We were attending a friends wedding in the hotel and everyone else attending was staying there too. It didn't look like our sort of place but it didn't make sense to stay somewhere else. When we arrived we were soo overwelmed to see all our friends, we were on a high... This soon lowered when we were shown to our... more

We stayed at the Jolly Beach for two weeks this summer and had a fantastic time. Right from the start the staff made us feel welome and were very friendly. Our room was clean and big enough for our family of four. We loved the main pool area and and an afternoon visit to the swim up bar for a... more

My fiance and I stayed at Jolly Beach from 1st August to 15th August 2008. Overall our experience was okay. The holiday began with a big mistake from the reception staff. We had booked to stay in a standard room and were actually put in a supersaver room for the first night. We told our rep the next day and... more

Our first experience of the caribbean was not a brilliant one. The resort was advertised as 3*+ and that was certainly all it was. The rooms were ok (king superior) although certainly not superior and the bathrooms definitely needed an overhaul. The food at breakfast and lunch was great but the evening meals went downhill with not a lot of... more

We stayed at the vacation suites of Jolly Beach for our third time now. Our most recent trip was from July 17th till the 27th(2008). We were able to fly direct from NY-JFK on Delta-a nice quick trip, newish jet. Landed at VC airport to a nice hot steamy breezy day. Fairly quick through immigration and customs, bags came just... more

Ok! First off, Anitgua is beautiful. I would recommend going. Jolly Beach resort looks pretty on the outside, but if you have any room besides the beach house, it is awful. The room in the main hotel was not well maintained. The water pressure was weak, our toilet did not flush, and the room as a whole was trashy. They... more
