Trade Winds Hotel Antigua

The view and food were great

Only there during the day, in between flights, but was really impressed. For $75 for a room, it was perfect for what we needed it for, at a fair price and not far from the airport. We often travel through Antigua and will be making it our go to for the future. Pool was lovely and wonderful views from the restaurant. Staff were all very friendly and kind.

Clean room and property with good ambiance along friendly and accommodating staff. However, restaurant service tended to be slow.

We visited the Bayhouse Restaurant in the Trade Winds Hotel several times during our recent holiday in Antigua. The restaurant itself is a beautiful addition to the hotel complex, with stunning views over Dickinson Bay and breathtaking sunsets. The menu was varied and we tried several dishes, all of which were delicious and very nicely presented. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, but particular mentions need to go out to Marsha, Erroll and Kenroy, who were more than happy attend to our every need and offer helpful advice and information about the area and the island in general. Thank you for being so attentive, and for helping to make our holiday on your gorgeous island so special.

My husband and I stayed at Trade Winds Hotel from 21st to 27th June 2026. Our stay was make memorable by the service received from Shanic Edwards. Ms. Edwards was very professional and always engaged us with a smile. Thank you Ms. Edwards for making our stay at Trade Winds more enjoyable.

Went to have some breakfast with Bestie as we had not lived on the same island for many years. Was running a few minutes late but our host Shanic was quite welcoming, helpful and friendly with the most radiant smile throughout our interaction. Breakfast was good. The views are stunning with a constant cool breeze.

It's a nice spot on the hill overlooking the ocean. Now I'm struggling to find more positives.

The staff are generally not too bad, but make you feel you're bothering them. The bar man told me was 'going the extra mile' when he reluctantly agreed to give me a glass for my beer. Breakfast can take 2 hours if you don't get in early. Reception won't give more water (I had 1 litre in the room for 2 night). You get the idea.

Suggest you look elsewhere.

After a long layover at Antigua airport, I returned to Trade Winds Hotel for breakfast and a few properly relaxing hours — and it was exactly the right decision.

As ever, the service was first-rate: warm, professional, and delivered with real personality. The food was equally strong. I’d particularly recommend the Antiguan breakfast — the saltfish was spot on, and the whole plate was generous and well put together.

A special thank you to Torhonda and Yvette, who were outstanding — effortlessly attentive and genuinely welcoming.

And then there’s the view — quite simply picture perfect.

I’ll certainly be back, and it’s an easy recommendation for anyone passing through. Or even better want a lovely vacation.

Here for one night as a stopover. The front desk reception woman very friendly with a wonderful smile. The room and bathroom appeared recently renovated. Deck with a view amazing. Bartender Kenroy is a rock star. Be sure to have his signature rum punch. The food variety and quality very good. Room for improvement would be restaurant service. A bit inattentive and slow, except for the guy bussing tables. He was very busy and provided great customer service, jumping in to help wherever needed.

The hotel was very clean and well facilitated, the restaurant around the pool had a stunning view of the sea and sunsets and make excellent lobster salads and cocktails, but it was the warmth, friendliness and generosity of the staff who went above and beyond that made it a wonderful place to stay.

The positive:
Huge room, comfy bed, nice bar, and restaurant and pretty good food.

The negative:
There was an overpowering smell outside of my room that I could only describe as cat urine? It permeated everything… the whole area of the guest rooms smelled so strongly it was absolutely overwhelming. I don’t know how nobody else has commented on this in the reviews, but there were a lot of cats there.

Other than that people seem to like it. 🙏🏼

Restaurant staff was very accommodating and friendly.

Enjoyed my breakfast and my dinner. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. And I loved the view from my patio.

Lovely Christmas and New Year at the Tradewinds Hotel, Antigua
Sometimes it’s nicer to find hotels that aren’t part of massive companies. A sweeter stay — welcoming and warm (thank you, Lissette, Mellisa, and the other really lovely girls on the front desk).

Lovely, large rooms, and full credit to the cleaners who work hard to keep everything spotless.
Is there room for improvement? Always.
But right now, I just want to congratulate the Tradewinds for making our stays as glamorous as advertised, and for giving us truly memorable, scenic experiences.

The Tradewinds is one of those places, with its internal Bay House Restaurant serving up delightful meals and drinks. Many thanks to the very friendly bar staff, working hard to serve those romantic cocktails we usually only dream about while at work. And it’s not just the cocktails — it’s the romantic setting, looking out over Dickenson Bay, where you can pause, stand, and take it all in while you sup.

You don’t get this without the hard work that goes into planning and organising these meals. Thanks to matradee (think was Kevin), and the handsome French chef, and all the girls for serving us so well.
Props also to one of their recommended drivers ( B Local 268, Brandon ) for getting us into the areas booked for excursions.

To close:
 These resorts can be seasonal in how they earn. When you hear about massive storms like Melissa, and the damage they cause to lives and businesses, you begin to appreciate the effort these countries go through to make our hard-earned holidays as delightful as the brochures we see online and in magazines.

Antigua doesn’t always get hit as hard, but it is not immune to storms. So when everything is pulled together to make this happen for us, I simply want to show my appreciation.

Jamaica next. Let’s help build the Caribbean.

Kenroy was not only a great bartender, but a fantastic embodiment of hospitality. I have worked in the industry for a long time and felt right at home with him behind the bar. He was extremely attentive to bar guests while getting the piles of service tickets, yet nothing shook his personality and attention to detail.

We had an exceptional experience at Tradewinds Hotel Antigua, and I am excited to share just how memorable our stay was. The property offers stunning views and the environment feels calming, warm, and intentional. Whoever decided to situate this hotel facing the sea view did a big favor for anyone who experiences a stay here. Our room was impeccably cleaned and refreshed every single day (no asking), and the amenities were consistently maintained. Every staff interaction reflected genuine hospitality - polite, attentive, and eager to accommodate - no matter which department we encountered. I'd like to especially recognize Ms. Marsha from the restaurant team, whose services shaped much of our positive dining experience. With her attentive and thoughtful care, we chose to enjoy breakfast and dinner at the hotel daily, except when exploring the island. All the staff at the restaurant deserve high praise. Tradewinds delivers comfort, service, and atmosphere that an experienced traveler looks for. I highly recommended it for anyone seeking an elevated yet welcoming stay in Antigua.

Had a 2 day conference there this week. Terrible lunch with only one server. This resulted in the conference attendees waiting in line for 15 mins. They brought out the lunch with no serving utensils. Unappealing or appetizing food with no vegetables or salad. An absolutely shabby affair.

The stay was very comfortable. The veiws from this hotel was amazing. The environment was extremely clean and neat. This hotel is also close to the beach and most places.

The food from the Bayhouse Restaurant was amazing and the staff was friendly, specifically Marsha, Errol and Kenroy (aka 12). They made the experience worthwhile.

Would definitely recommend anyone to stay at this location.

Great location. Very clean. Friendly staff and good food.
