Residences at Nonsuch Bay Antigua

Villa was beautiful and it was quiet. It was everything I needed. The staff was friendly and very welcoming. I would recommend this resort, if you like quiet and don't mind being a distance from town.

The Residences at Nonsuch Bay were a huge disappointment due to three glaring problems:

1) The location is incredibly inconvenient. Plan on a 40 minute drive to any supermarket or restaurant.
2) There is ZERO communication about facilities at the hotel or nearby landmarks - which is the norm for every other villa or hotel rental I've ever experienced. You're on your own from the minute you arrive. I still don't know where their three pools are!
3) Anyone needing reliable cell or wifi service is out of luck. You may get one bar for wifi in the bedrooms (only maybe) and usually zero cell service throughout the unit.

With a sister hotel (Escape) such a short distance away, you would hope for some offer of reciprical privileges - even something as minor as a place for breakfast. But that is NOT the case.

There are so many choices in Antigua. Unless you want to spend half your day navigating terrible roads with constant tailgating and opposing traffic crossing into your lane (nighttime is even worse), I strongly recommend finding somewhere else to stay.

We stayed at Nonsuch (Residences) for 3 nights thinking that it was a hotel. IT IS NOT. After the pandemic, the 'Residences' operate as rented "villas" on a self catered basis. There were no hotel-linked option for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. The nearest supermarket is 40 min away in English Harbour and there are no dining options nearby other than Rokuni which was great but expensive to eat there every day. Rokuni is not part of the hotel. The beach is full of algae and not the turquoise blue as depicted on website. The check-in lady was rude and said we should have "minimal contact with her" and refused to let us check in early even though the 'hotel' was half empty. There are two pools, one had moss around the edges and the other one was half empty and dirty with branches. Our stay here was like staying in an abandoned resort which is in t he middle of nowhere with zero amenities. On a positive note, Half Moon bay is a 10 min drive from Nonsuch and it is a stunning beach with a little restaurant where we were able to have a great lunch. This is probably the only highlight of staying in this part of the island.

It was really nice, the accommodation is amazing, very spacious, only one place to eat which is very expensive. But other than that it was a great stay

Everything was good

We were upgraded to Escape we had a really enjoyable 5 days in Escape . Good food, lovely friendly staff ,
Clean well appointed room with fabulous view😁
Disappointed that we had three rainy and overcast days but was still warm

The people were friendly and the food was terrific!

The food was INCREDIBLE. Amazing four course meals every night, and you have a few choices for each course. Water sports are included. And the beach, room, pools, etc are all super private. It never felt crowded. The staff is amazingly friendly and the drinks are delicious. I loved that they had a new special drink every day.

On the less developed area of the island but to the best possible standards at the time of our visit. The dinner was absolutely five star given this was all inclusive. Great views in many of the rooms. Stuff very helpful and attentive.

Fabulous resort and super friendly and helpful staff.

Limited food options with only one restaurant available.

Pretty far away from rest of island. Great rooms.

The bathrooms need upgrading but for the most part very beautiful resort. The staff was the best part very friendly and accommodating. I would def return.

Best kite boarding school (40knots ) in the Caribbean. Food was excellent

Really enjoyed our stay here! Service is amazing and food is so delicious. Not too close to other places but very relaxing.

We like the spacious room, staff was very friendly, the beach could be improved, beach shower was not working.

Loved the overal concept . Great customer service. Went out of their way to welcome and please. Didnt like the fact that there was no room service

Fantastic resort, made us and our young daughter feel most welcome.

This resort staff from management to housekeeping are absolutely amazing. Allisha and Zoe are the best. Miss Schena and Miss Cheryl it was an absolute pleasure meeting you and appreciate your professionalism. Great food for every meal and beautiful views at each meal!

I liked that the room was as described. The hotel staff did not clean the rooms properly, we had to ask 3 times, and as a result I had to get medical attention when we got back from the trip (bites). Food and drinks are extremely limited. Half the resort was closed and no notice was given to customers. Given that the hotel is 35 mins away from everything, we should have been informed as we were relying on the actives on the other side of the resort. Manager was extremely rude.
