Antigua Village

The resort was wonderful The amenities were just right. The staff was amazing. Not too crowded so you had the feel of your own private beach. The people were friendly. The food at the nearby restaurant was good and the location was convenient. Everything was in a short walking distance. .

We really enjoyed our stay at Dickenson Bay Oasis Antigua Village. The grounds are lovely and staff worked on maintaining the landscaping throughout our stay. We walked past mango trees and an avocado tree and had hummingbirds and banaquit birds visit our balcony every day. The location is terrific, only a minute walk from the beach. The pool was clean and refreshing and the beach was beautiful. The beaches in Antigua are all public so locals use the water but the chairs and umbrellas in front of Antigua Village are for guests only. The property has no official restaurant or bar but Salt Plage is located right next door and was open every day from 7am to 11 pm. Also, don't miss Kon Tiki- a floating bar offshore! You can flag down a ride in a boat or just swim out. Although cash is required, they take wet money too. Each unit is individually decorated so yours may not match the posted pictures. We thought it added to the fun to look at everyone's balcony decor and compare. Security is visible at all times. They have a station near the check in area and also watch the beach. The circulate at night too and we saw them every night by the gate to the parking lot when we returned after dinner. We had an evening flight to return home and the property manager was very helpful. Our unit was going to be occupied by another guest that day so we had to leave our room but he gave us the key to a different unit so that we could store our luggage and use the pool and beach until it was time to go. That was definitely above and beyond! Overall we truly enjoyed our home base. If we come back to Antigua we would definitely stay here again!

This was a marvelous experience from start to finish! Our studio was spacious, clean, comfortable, and with a lovely view of the courtyard (and a sliver of beach!). The beach was steps away and it was marvelous. I know the resort doesn’t control the beach but it was impeccably maintained and the water was perfect. This resort does not have an onsite restaurant. We did not rent a car so made heavy use of Salt Plage and Casa Roots restaurants nearby; there is a very spacious and well-equipped kitchen so I recommend a grocery run if you’d like to cook meals/have breakfasts. They have a cadre of recommended taxi drivers (shout-out to Mr Emery! He was fantastic!). This is an excellent resort for families and couples who aren’t looking for a loud, overly-programmed, or Sandals experience. Our trip was perfectly relaxed, unfussy, and with gorgeous, clean, and well-appointed rooms.
