Dreams of paradise come true in the Caribbean, where clusters of stunning islands create a mosaic of shimmering reefs, white crescent coastlines, island-vibe reggae tunes and beach shack rum bars. From the dazzling beaches of Antigua to secluded coves of Anguilla, jungle waterfalls in St Lucia and buzzing nightlife in Barbados, there’s an island for every traveller. Whether you’re looking for an adults-only escape or a family holiday, take your island adventures to the next level when you stay in our pick of the best Caribbean beachfront resorts.
For a romantic rendezvous in your own private pool villa, look no further thanHammock Cove Resort & Spaon Antigua. The stunning resort has been ranked in the top 25 hotels for romance in the Caribbean in 2021 by Tripadvisor.
If that’s not enough to convince you this Caribbean beachfront resort should be your next loved-up escape, the nearby untouched beaches, private infinity pool villas, six award-winning restaurants and bars, and tranquil day spa might do the trick. Work your way through renowned wines at the Chairman’s Lounge, sip tropical cocktails poolside at On The Rocks or dabble in an authentic rum tasting at Nobody Knows.
We read a lot of great reviews about Hammock Cove and had to experience it ourselves. Here is my take…..
The positives
– spacious rooms
– extra large bathrooms
– every room has a plunge pool
– the BEST all inclusive food made by a Michelin trained chef
– very clean property
– gated resort so you will feel very safe walking around the property
– more than decent WIFI
– the staff that will go above and beyond to assure you are having a great time
The negatives/ suggestions/ comments
– the road leading the hotel needs a lot of work
– if you order room service or order from the beach, it may take some time to get your food.
– average liquor selection…a few more choices of tequila and vodka would be nice
– if you are looking for entertainment or things to do, this is not the place for you. Other than a person playing on the keyboard during dinner, there was nothing else.
– a TV and foam roller for the gym
– main lobby is very warm….maybe install an AC
– a cover for the food that is being served at the beach. This way, the seagulls don't eat them.
Overall, a great place to go if you are looking for a relaxing luxury getaway. Shoutout to Osayba by the beach for always making sure that we were having the best time. Feb and Casildo (restaurant waiters) these guys were always on point and assured that everything was to our satisfaction. Kudos to the entire staff for making our experience unforgetable.

Gorgeous quiet hotel with great sea view villas. Was nice to have own space in the villa and have a balcony to sit and relax and dip in own pool.
Steakhouse was fantastic food. Lighthouse 7 course meal and wine pairing was good. Great choice for breakfast.
Pool area and beach was beautiful and everywhere was very clean.
Some things to improve is the room service meals were disappointing, snacks need to be provided in rooms and at the bars, more treadmills in gym as it gets very busy in the mornings, more lighting around the pathways at nighttime.
Little shout out to these people who work at Hammock Cove and helped us during our stay :
Collet who was our waitress at Irena's. Most smiley and friendly person.
Lady at the shop who was super friendly and helpful.
Tracy on reception who booked our taxis and excursions.
Andre, Erick, Nigel, She Maque, Akeila who were great Bar tenders.
Feb our waiter at the lighthouse and steak house
Julio , Nazim, Joshua, Dorman. Beach and Pool guys.
Tasscia our waitress at Breakfast
Gabriel rum barman who made great cocktails and coffees in the morning.
Spa staff who were great for our treatments.

My wife and I spent our Honeymoon at Hammock Cove and our experience was incredible. The resort is gorgeous and the rooms are very spacious. I would highly recommend the Waterfront Villas, the views of the cove are fantastic. What stood out to me the most is the service. All of the staff members are very friendly, helpful, and responsive. I cant say enough about it… 11/10 service from everybody there. I would definitely recommend Hammock Cove to any couple looking for a quiet, relaxing, and fantastic vacation.

We had an absolutely amazing stay and would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire team for providing such exceptional service throughout our visit at Hammock Cove!
A very special thank you to General Manager Lucinda, Restaurant Manager Troy, front desk staff Tracey and Rayon, as well as Julio working by the beach, for making our experience so welcoming and memorable. Your professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail truly stood out.
Bartenders Anita and Nigel were fantastic — always friendly, attentive, and making the best drinks with a smile. Special thanks also to waitresses Ramona and Brittania, who truly went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well taken care of during every meal.
Chef Smith and Kimberly prepared absolutely delicious meals every day. The food was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and exceeded our expectations.
Overall, every member of the staff was attentive, warm, and amazing. Thank you all for making our stay unforgettable. We cannot wait to return!
Golfing enthusiasts, gourmands and flop-and-drop travellers will delight in a stay at Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Course. This Mediterranean-style resort (think Santorini-esque villas and a huge sun-soaked swimming pool flanked by loungers) rests at the fringes of Rendezvous Bay, where bright white-sand beaches and translucent waters make for the ultimate Instagram-worthy shot.
The pool at Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Course.
Keen or aspiring golfers can tee off at the Greg Norman-designed 18-hole championship course while foodies can explore the flavours of Anguilla at the six onsite restaurants. If golfing isn’t your jam, make use of the onsite tennis courts, fitness centre, bocce and pickleball courts or hit the beach for a sunrise boot camp workout.
Aurora is simply breathtaking and the people that work there make it an amazing experience! You are taken care of like no other place! I have to give Vishal a SPECIAL thank you for cooking my friends and our own Indian dinner one night. He set the table up so perfectly and the food was cooked with so much love and intention. It was one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had in my life traveling! I also have to give special thanks to the best bartender Rovin, he took such good care of us and made us the best drinks on the island! Aurora is simply a must stay spot in Anguilla and again thank you to Vishal and Rovin !!! 🙂

This property is amazing. It is located directly on a gorgeous beach and has every amenity you can imagine. Pools, hot tubs, splash pads, playgrounds, golf, bakeries, mini water park, mini amphitheater, and more. The service is outstanding. Special thanks to Justin who went above and beyond to make sure our soon to be 2 year old daughter had the best time. Looking forward to our next visit.

Our stay at Casa De Campo was nothing short of amazing. From the friendly staff to the tasty food we would go back in a heartbeat. We were fortunate enough to see multiple rooms types as we traveled with family. Some family stayed in a villa, some in a premier suite and some in a traditional casita room. Each of the rooms were very nice. The casita room was the first level type of room but clean, spacious and still nice. The premier suite is huge, modern, and clean. The villa was absolutely beautiful. If I were to return it would be in premier or a villa. The food and service were top notch and the provided golf carts made the trip so fun! Driving to different parts of the resort did take time but having the golf cart made it easy and fun! Compared to other massive resorts it's nice having your own cart rather than walking long distances or waiting for a shuttle. All in all a positive experience.

The place is beautiful very clean and friendly. The views amazing and the food spectacular ❣️❣️❣️
It’s all too easy for your troubles to melt away the moment you step foot in Malliouhana, Auberge Resorts Collection. This five-star resort enjoys an elevated position high on a bluff, cascading down to gleaming white sands and a turquoise ocean.
Malliouhana, Auberge Resorts Collection in Anguilla.
Days can be spent swimming in the two-tiered infinity pool, ordering a tropical cocktail or specialty rum punch from the beach bar, or whiling an entire afternoon away in a privately reserved cabana. When the sun sets, head to Celeste restaurant for an alfresco feast overlooking Meads Bay: succulent sea-to-table dishes, innovative cuisine and island-sourced produce await.
The Reef at Atlantis, Bahamas: Secluded Paradise Island hideaway
For utter seclusion amid the glitz and glam of the Bahamas, opt for a stay at The Reef at Atlantis on Paradise Island. The name evokes images of white sandy beaches, swaying palm trees and bold blue oceans – and that’s exactly what you can expect.
The natural wonders are coupled with top-notch resort facilities. Savour the ocean-fresh delights of Fish by José Andrés or Mosaic’s live cooking stations, plunge into The Baths Colonnade Pool (one of a whopping 11 pools), framed by 2.5 acres of sun deck, or glide through the 2.7-million-gallon Ruins Lagoon, a marine exhibit home to more than 20,000 deep reef and pelagic fish. The award-winning Mandara Spa is your go-to for blissful treatments: think warm and cold plunge pools, steam and sauna rooms, aromatherapy massages, organic facials and a full-service salon.
All restaurants could seat our party of 9, including 3 young children. Children's menus were limited, but nutritious and reasonable. Water attractions were great for the 5-year olds. Adult menus were exceptional. The Reef and Cove pools were ideal for young children.

Wonderful Accom. Everything is there! Entertainment for adults and kids, swimming at the beach with fish surrounding you, massive aquarium, great food all around, and amazingly friendly staff. Only issue is that the place is quite expensive including the entertainment and food.
