Hammock Cove Antigua

Lexie Wartick

Wow what an experience! My husband and I came here for our honeymoon in July and we were hoping for a romantic, quiet, luxurious all inclusive experience - Hammock Cove provided all of this and so much more. Our expectations were exceeded. The food was nothing like what you would get at an all inclusive. Every meal we had was gourmet and some of our favorite food we have ever had at any restaurant or all inclusive. Chef Marco and the team put so much care into the work they're doing and would take time every day to come out and talk to you about the meals. The drink experience with Joel, Shawna, Gabriel, Erik, and all of the bartenders, was phenomenal. Joel makes the best espresso martinis you'll ever have, and also taught us how to make his favorite rum old fashion drink so we can make it in the US. Every drink you get will be delicious and tailored yo you if you'd like. Rooms are spacious and clean and the maids came every day. It was so nice to come into the room with fresh towels and a bed made every day. Also, it was by far the quietest most romantic place I've ever been. Going down to the beach in the morning there is no fighting for a chair and it is just quiet and lovely, We are already planning when we will come back.

There’s a calm that greets you the moment you enter Hammock Cove. Tucked within a gated sanctuary on the island of Antigua, it’s where safety meets serenity—where everything feels protected, yet open enough for your spirit to breathe. The staff here? Exceptional. Genuine warmth that doesn’t need rehearsing. From the first hello to the last goodnight, you feel seen. Cared for. Each villa comes with its own ambassador and a personal cell phone that connects you to them 24/7—room service, dinner reservations, island rides, you name it. I had the pleasure of being cared for by Rayvon, Kenya, and Rondelle—each of them kind, attentive, and effortless in their grace. Every morning, Kenya handpicked fresh flowers for my breakfast table. It’s the smallest details that leave the biggest imprint. The villas are spacious—airy enough for two souls to stretch and still feel at home. Your outdoor space becomes its own world: a private plunge pool, lounge chairs for slow mornings, a dinner table for long talks, and a swinging chair that turns into your personal rhythm. There are multiple bars and restaurants on-site, but The Lighthouse stands apart—a seven-course experience where time slows, and every plate feels like a story. Your ambassador handles all the details, because here, you’re meant to simply be. Hammock Cove isn’t just a stay—it’s a reminder that luxury isn’t about extravagance. It’s about ease. Presence. The kind of peace that follows you long after you’ve left. _Sonia

Way beyond any reasonable expectation. The most unexpected surprise was the exceptional cuisine provided during our one week stay. Chef Marco prepared exceptional dishes every time. He is a consummate chef, in a class with the best in the world! We were gushing with praise after every dinner. What a pro! Iliara was the sommelier and she was very knowledgeable and graceful. Her recommendations of wines and her demeanor added to the already excellent culinary experience. The Villa was spacious, clean and had all the amenities expected at a high-end resort. The bathroom was very spacious, and well appointed. The outdoor Veranda had a plunge pool, (nice touch), table and chairs, and a well-stocked mini bar. The location had beautiful views from the room. Service was always excellent. It was kind, genuine, and unobtrusive. We always felt we were being taken care of. The grounds were constantly maintained, clean, and beautiful. The beach was never crowded, with clean clear waters and soft white sand. The floating circles were appreciated by us. We were able to relax on them, get some sun and stay cool in the water all at the same time. The staff would bring drinks out to you in the water, all you had to do was raise your hand. Our stay was a romantic, private, restful, peaceful week in Antigua. We highly recommend it to relax and reset. Thank you Hammock Cove!

I cannot write a review that does justice for Hammock Cove Resort. I can't speak highly enough of the team and the service they provide. D was the best ambassador, and I felt as if I were talking to an old friend when Troy visited our table for lunch or dinner. The same was true for Priscilla. Having your very own plunge pool at your villa is the best, although it does make it hard to leave your patio. From the moment we checked in, the level of service was amazing. The cleanest room and just a great experience overall. Emily, with Elite, also does a great job with the reservations and assists in any way needed. The best...

We have always regarded Elite Island Resorts as among the very best in the Caribbean. During our second stay at Galley Bay, we obtained a Day Pass and a personal tour of their flagship resort, Hammock Cove, as we had already booked a holiday there for October 2025. What was already excellent became exceptional—the location was breathtaking, and every member of staff we met was among the warmest and most professional in Antigua. As with all Elite resorts, from management to housekeeping, activities, pool staff, bar, and restaurant teams, the service appeared consistently outstanding. The cuisine we experienced at lunch was superb, and the overall resort atmosphere truly first-class. Having been loyal guests for more than 17 years, with over 20 visits across their Caribbean properties and more than £250,000 spent, we were shocked to receive a personal email from the CEO when attempting to book a return visit to Galley Bay in 2026. Not only was our booking declined, but he also authorised the cancellation of our October 2025 reservation at Hammock Cove (Antigua). The only notification we initially received was a short message from our booking agent advising that our reservation had been cancelled. Shortly afterwards, we received a follow-up email from the COO. While stressing that the resorts generally provide guests with a wonderful all-inclusive island experience, he went on to say: “there is no one size fits all when it comes to holiday travel, and no single resort or resort group is perfect for everyone. To that end, we simply feel that our resorts are not the best fit for your future holidays. We wish you the very best with your future travels, even though those travels will NOT include our resorts.” This was followed by instructions to the Director of Sales to cancel our Hammock Cove reservation and issue a full refund. No explanation was provided—simply the door closed on us. After so many years of loyalty, this response left us deeply disappointed and bewildered. In my personal opinion, it appears possible that Elite Island Resorts may be engaging in some form of customer profiling, potentially using social media, to determine which guests fit their preferred profile. If you don’t, you may suddenly find yourself uninvited to return. That said, I cannot fault the quality of the resorts themselves: they remain truly first-class.
