Oyster hotel review, marina property vocative of a tropical villa retreat, with lush gardens and draped in nautical views .

This resort straddles two sides of a quiet, narrow public road with the marina and yacht club on the water side and rooms on the other. Rooms offer great views of Falmouth Harbour and the vessels (mostly impressive yachts) moored there. From the get-go, the resort feels more Balinese than Caribbean, with tropical villa-style residences scattered among lush gardens ascending the hill. The facade is dressed in subdued beige and white with wood accents, setting off the resort’s landscaping and dramatic harbor views. The panorama is mesmerizing, especially from the higher rooms and even more so at sunset. 

Inside the reception, sturdy Indonesian-inspired timber pieces complement huge nature and marine life photos on neutral walls. There’s a long, solid-wood sofa with kelp-green cushions, a natural-wood check-in desk with a marble countertop, and a handsome work desk under a tiki empire lamp in the corner. The reception is gateway to the hotel wing, where two levels of rooms surround an open-air courtyard finished with palm trees and a gazebo. Meanwhile villa-style Studios and Suites are located up the hill with a windy driveway and lush tropical bougainvillea gardens all around. 

Other than the golf carts buzzing up and down delivering guests to their units, the ambience is calm, making it a popular choice for visiting yacht-owners who want a place to stay while they moor their vessel's at one of the property's 105 slips. 

In Falmouth Harbour, close to Nelson’s Dockyard, English Harbour, beaches, and restaurants

Antigua Yacht Club Marina Resort is set on both sides of a calm road in Falmouth Harbour, with plenty of highlights within walking (or short driving) distance. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance, including waterfront venues right across the road. It’s an 11-minute walk from Admiral House and Nelson’s Dockyard -- a treasure trove for history buffs, where gift shops, restaurants, a hotel, and other businesses populate 18th-century stone buildings steeped in naval heritage. It’s nine minutes on foot to Pigeon Beach and 17 minutes to Fort Berkeley. It’s 35 minutes by car to VC Bird International Airport. 

Indonesian island-inspired units, many with apartment-like layouts, kitchens, and large terraces

The resort comprises 30 Executive Suites and Studio Residences (in king or double configurations), and 19 Hotel Rooms. Rooms are located off the lobby, while other configurations are housed in villas that unfold up a steep, winding hill, with on-demand golf carts ready to take guests to and from rooms. For the best part, units are in excellent condition -- impeccably clean and new-feeling apart from the odd glimpse of wear and tear. Residences (which unfold over two floors) and Studios have particularly spacious layouts, with huge, all-weather terraces equipped with sturdy wooden lounge chairs and dining areas. Units are decked out in Indonesian-inspired wooden furniture, with more wood in the plank ceilings, slatted closets, window shutters, and French doors. Neutral floor tiles and walls, with crisp white beds, and sheer white curtains add a bit of contrast, livened up by rich pops of color in the form of monochromatic cushions on beds and the occasional piece of island artwork. All rooms feature minibars, air-conditioning, safes, flat-screen TVs, and DVD/CD players. Studios feature grand four-poster beds and full kitchens, and Executive Suites unfold over two levels, like luxurious townhouses with living and dining areas, open-plan kitchens, lower-level bedrooms (with platform beds), and terraces on both levels. Bathrooms are luxurious and large, with huge mirrors over granite-top wood vanities, large walk-in showers, hairdryers, and basic individual toiletries. The higher the room, the more spectacular the view -- best enjoyed by Suites and Executive Residences up the top of the hill.

A 105-slip, full service marina, modern gym, spa, free Wi-Fi, and on-site golf buggy shuttle

The resort's marina has 105 full service slips (all with water and electricity), as well as simple dockage. There’s no on-site restaurant, just a self-serve water, tea, and coffee station. However, the yacht club directly across the road has a restaurant and two cafes overlooking the water. There’s also a travel agent, a bookstore, a liquor store, and a mini-market. The resort's fitness center (also just across the street) is decked out with an impressive selection of modern cardio and weight-training equipment. Indigo Spa offers a good array of scrubs, massages, facials, and body treatments. An on-demand golf buggy transports guests to and from reception to overcome the steep climb up the hill. Free Wi-Fi is provided throughout the property

Welcome to Antigua and Barbuda

The easygoing English-speaking people who call Antigua and Barbuda home have a reputation for humor, hospitality and a "no problem"  attitude towards life. Visitors to these shores rarely want to leave and are usually planning to return even before they takeoff.

Over the years Antigua it self has become very important as the hub of the Eastern Caribbean and V.C. Bird International Airport has seen a tremendous increase in the number of services from North America and Europe.

It is also very easy to visit neighboring Caribbean Islands while comfortably based here. Facilities in Antigua and Barbuda are also being developed to add variety to life. There is a great range of Hotel from world famous luxury resorts to homely little establishments where the owner knows everybody by name and the famous stay by incognito.

The capital of St. John's also has two exciting waterfront developments for you to explore. The sunniest of the Eastern Caribbean Islands, Antigua is also the largest of the English-speaking Leeward Islands, about 14 miles long and 11 miles wide.

With 365 white sand beaches, Antigua claims to have one for every day of the year. The island is a must-see destination for scuba divers and snorkellers, who come from around the globe to explore the breathtaking nearly unbroken wall of coral reef that surrounds the island.

Once known as the "gateway to the Caribbean" because of its location and natural harbors, Antigua is dotted with reminders of its nautical past, from Nelson's Dockyard, one of Antigua's finest physical assets, built by Horatio Nelson in the eighteenth century, to the beautifully restored Redcliffe Quay. More than 100 picturesque stone windmills, some now housing bars, shops, restaurants, and homes, serve as a testament to Antigua's role in the sugar trade.

It's always summer in Antigua, with temperatures rarely falling below 25C, or exceeding 30C. Most of the island's water comes from the desalination plant and is potable, but bottled water is widely available everywhere. The local currency, the EC$, is pegged to the US$ (EC$2.60 = US$1) and can be obtained from banks or ATMs island-wide. Most establishments welcome US$ cash or travelers cheques, and major credit cards are widely accepted.
