An Antigua Holiday staying at the Suite Hotel called the Trade Winds above Dickenson Bay could make a lot of sense. The Trade Winds Hotel could also be a good choice for your Antigua Honeymoon, as it is small and intimate, having only 45 rooms, and is definitely a place for the discerning guest.

Best described as peaceful, friendly, and relaxing the Trade Winds Hotel provides the perfect solution for people who don’t want to pay the earth, and don’t want something that is overly pretentious. Whilst not really what you would describe as a boutique hotel, because that would be pretentious, the Trade Winds nevertheless is similar without the sky high prices.

Being on a hill, the views are spectacular, although the walk up from the beach is steep. Having said that the hotel operates a shuttle bus, so you don’t have to walk. The benefits far outweigh the drawbacks, because the hill gives you not only the spectacular view, it also means the hotel is away from the noise and bustle, so you do get peace and quiet.

The beach itself, and anyone choosing an Antigua holiday will be mindful of the great beaches the island has, and they will not be disappointed here. You can walk for what seems like miles and the water is such a dreamy shade of blue. There are places to eat, bars, whee if you buy a few drinks, they will supply you with deck chairs.

Reports from guests talk about the fact that the Trade Winds Hotel may be rated as a three star, but the general feeling was it was in truth between four to five star but with three star prices. A little bit of luxury, with very professional and friendly staff, is another often heard comment from the very satisfied guests.

The rooms are large and this cannot always be said when you stay in an hotel on an Antigua vacation. They are also light and airy with a terrace or balcony that looks out over the sea.

The food in the restaurant, called Bay House is excellent with good choices, and you will notice a good many non residents, and locals coming into eat in the evenings. Probably the outstanding part of the evening meals are the desserts. There is also a small pool, sun deck, and bar, and the grounds are lush with tropical vegetation

One of the great things about taking an Antigua holiday at the Trade Winds Hotel is that you will be made to feel like an individual. This means the staff appear to know your room number, your name very quickly, and your likes and dislikes in the way of food and drink. This sort of thing rarely happens when you stay in a larger hotel where it can be quite impersonal.

If you can get your meal plans in place before you go. There are some great restaurants within easy driving reach, so determine what you want to do in the evenings, because if you take the meal plan that includes dinner, you will find that whilst there is a $50ECD limit for breakfast which is no problem anyway, there is no limit for dinner, so you can try all the most expensive dishes and it will be included.. Also be aware that a lot of rooms are permanently booked to BA aircrew, and whilst they can be somewhat boisterous, they do come and go, which adds an air of exclusivity for those permanent, or semi permanent guests.

The Trade Winds Hotel would be a good choice for an Antigua Holiday, and ideal for an Antigua Honeymoon if you want the glamour of the Caribbean, but not some of the ridiculous prices.

To go into slightly more detail, it has been described as the top B & B in Antigua, although a better description might be that it is a top Caribbean Hotel in Antigua. To call it a B & B hardly does it justice, it is much better to think of it as a top, if old fashioned Caribbean Hotel which just happens to be in this lovely corner of Antigua.

You won’t find loud music, you won’t have to suffer entertainment all the time, and you would be very unlucky indeed to come upon that awful sight of the drunks you find at the all-inclusives. The biggest blessing of all is that there are no televisions throughout the hotel, which is a great relief. You will find nice spacious rooms, a fantastic shower, and a good balcony. The beds are comfortable, and quite frankly how much time do you spend there anyway.

The room rate at Long Bay Hotel is half board covering breakfast and dinner, and both meals are good quality with great food, and plenty of it. At Dinner there is a choice for each of the courses, and joy of joys you don’t have to book, just turn up between 7.30 and 9.00pm!!

Some people feel a Caribbean holiday, especially an Antigua Holiday isn’t complete without a hotel swimming pool, which is of course just crazy, when places like Antigua reputedly have one beach for every day of the year, and some of the best beaches in the world to boot.

The beach is so good that people come from all inclusive hotels close by, and actually pay to hire sun loungers and enjoy the peace and quiet.

All in all the Long Bay Hotel will give you a great Antigua Holiday, and with small touches like no deposit to play pool or table tennis, it will make you feel very much at home in this lovely oceanfront, personal service Caribbean Inn.
