Jolly Beach Antigua

The short version

Once Starfish Jolly Beach Resort, this hotel now goes by Jolly Beach Antigua and runs as an independent all-inclusive. It covers 40 acres on the island's southwest coast. The hotel calls itself Antigua's largest and says its beach runs a mile. On site are three restaurants, three bars, two pools, a spa and tennis courts. Every guest must be at least 12, so it fits couples and families with older children.

Before you book
