Pros:

L'emplacement face a la mer et l'île Laviscount avec les tortues, perroquets et autres entourée de mangrove. Les excursions pour partir nager avec les raies juste à côté. Le confort du lit.

Cons:

On ne peut se baigner à cet endroit où il y a beaucoup de vase et de méduses. Les canapés très usés ainsi que les ustensiles de cuisines.
Aucune bouteille d'eau potable à notre arrivée alors que l'eau du robinet est impropre a la consommation. Le partage du balcon avec le logement voisin, pas top surtout qu'on est tombé sur de gros fumeurs.

Great host, good location and good value.
Pros:

Bernadette was a very hospitable and responsive host. Her place was well located on the less busy end of Antigua near the Stingray City site. We rented a car through Bernadette and that was very useful to get to some great beaches and Nelson’s Harbour. The apartment worked well for 4 people.

Cons:

The walls don’t go up to the ceiling so noise does carry but otherwise it worked well for us.

Pros:

Quiet place, view from the terrace to the sea, very close to stingray city, very clean, very good air condition. Good kitchen facilities and very good WiFi. Very reliable and friendly host, answers fast on whats app and brought us to the beaches.

Cons:

If you have no car it might be difficult to come around. Local buses don't run often, a small supermarket is not far, also a small restaurant.

A Quiet Retreat
Pros:

Welcoming hosts. We had a small SC unit that had all we needed. Nice patio area. Really need a car if staying here - hosts helped us get a car

Cons:

Walked down to local Ellen Bay cafe for dinner, only to find we needed to pre-order as all food frozen, even the fish!
