We certainly recognise the experience described by EsmeBrighton. We spent a week at Carlisle Bay with our two children, aged 13 and 9. The Kids' Club was a major attraction for us in booking our stay. However, the reality was a serious disappointment. The Kids' Club activity sheet sounded enticing, however staff seemed to be determined to cancel any activity... more

We have just returned from our second visit to Carlisle Bay and after reading some reviews here we felt that we must share out experience. The main reason we returned to Carlisle Bay was because of the wonderful kids club. We thought there was nothing to improve on since our last visit January 07 but we were very wrong. Friends... more

I am very dubious about some of the recent positive reviews posted about Carlisle Bay as I can't see how things have gone down hill so fast! I am writing feedback from four families that we met that stayed in June / July this year. We were all very surprised when we asked for feedback forms at the end of... more

We stayed at Carlise Bay last December and having travelled all over the world to benchmark what we found, had a very disappointing stay - poor value for money experience. A number of guests we met at the Hotel had problems and complained to the manager at the Hotel - being in the Industry I chose to write to the... more

We have just returned from a fantastic week-long holiday in Antigua where we stayed at the Carlisle Bay. I loved the minimalistic-chic atmosphere! The resort blends in beautifully with the surrounding gardens/palms/rainforest. I found the service to be top and nothing was too much hassle for anyone. Having seen some of the photos on tripadvisor giving the hotel a bad... more

We spent 2 amazing weeks at CB and couldn't have asked for a more relaxing holiday. The bay is wonderfully peaceful and the beach immaculate. Although the pool was enticing, the beach won everytime! The restaurants and food were top quality, with the Barbecue and Steel Band on Friday night being very informal and great fun. All the staff were... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at Carlisle Bay in May, in one of their Ocean Front rooms. Keeping in mind that we paid A LOT of money for the rooms here, I am a little more critical than if we were staying in a b&b etc. Rooms were ok - had issues with our air-con, which had to be put... more

Carlisle Bay is the most beautiful place; elegant, understated buildings set among a forest of plants and flowers, leading onto a gorgeous beach. The plants are so lush it's like Kew Gardens on sea! HIghlights for me were breakfast at Indigo on the Beach where you can have a huge and varied breakfast while looking out to sea; Pilates lessons... more

What a fantastic place, It ticked all the boxes for us. The food was outstanding, with great variation. The pool is stunning and beautifully warm, excellent for my 4year old (and me) The villas are beautifullly presented and serviced twice a day, and the beach is paradise, warm clean sea, and the staff were exceptional. We will definately return, I'd... more
