Antigua Hotels
Featured Hotel: Jumby Bay Resort
Rare turtles, birds, and sheep abound on private island resort
The resort offers 39 guestrooms and suites located in three types of buildings widely spaced within the resort's main section on Long Island's west side. Pond Bay House is a one- and two-story Mediterranean-style white building with a red tile roof featuring an expansive Caribbean-view central terrace furnished with cushioned teak lounge chairs. Other Mediterranean-style buildings contain two suites each. The third type consists of six octagonal "rondavels"-- South African-style one-story cottage-like buildings with conical wood-shingle roofs located near the Estate House, which contains the resort's main dinner restaurant and evening bar/lounge. Flowering tropical gardens screen all three types.
Guestrooms and suites include carved mahogany or bamboo four-poster king beds (or double beds) and Rosewood Hotels & Resorts' signature Rosewood Bed bedding. This consists of an extra-thick custom-made mattress, 100-percent-Egyptian-cotton Italian-made sheets (including double-twisted satin-finish custom-stripe top sheet), and down/feather pillows. Jumby Bay beds also include feather beds atop mattresses. Thick towels, including bathsheets, furnish additional comfort. Lady Primrose toiletries supply luxury. In-room beach towels, umbrellas, and walking sticks provide convenience.
Other features of guestrooms and suites include: white walls and ceilings with dark Brazilian-walnut trim; tile floors with bamboo mats; mahogany-colored rattan and wicker furniture; thickly cushioned teak balcony and patio furniture; Bose Wave radio/CD players; and crank-open louvered doors that allow tradewind breezes to complement ceilings fans. All guestrooms have air conditioning.
In addition to guestrooms and suites, Jumby Bay also offers Mediterranean-style two-bedroom white villas with red tile roofs that provide accommodations for two couples or families in a "village" of flowering gardens and cobblestone streets overlooking the island's east side harbor. Set up as private homes, villas are rented out in owners' absences. Decor and furnishings vary somewhat from guestrooms and suites'. Rattan furniture is natural color rather than mahogany, and, unlike most guestrooms and suites, villas include televisions with U.S. cable service and VCRs. Villas contain full kitchens even though guests are included in the resort's All-Inclusive Plan. Each villa comes with a complimentary four-seat electric golf cart for getting around the island.
