Sandals Antigua

Does anyone have an first hand knowledge of this all-inclusive? We are
considering it for a group vacation in November or December 2006.

TIA.

What is the attraction of the all-inclusive? I am just wondering if the
people that go there have a really good reason for spending to much
money on a controlled environment.

We are all 'seasoned' cruisers (as in cruise ship people) but we want to try
something different. We were in Antigua in November 2003 on a cruise and
like the island so we want to go back. We like the idea of having
everything right there if we want it and we don't have to think about where
we are going to have dinner or what beach are we going to try to get to
today.

I too was on a cruise ship that stopped at Antigua. Becasue the ship was
there so long we took a cab out to the Hawksbill beach resort. It looked
like a very nice all-inclusive resort, but there is nothing close by so you
have to take a taxi anywhere else. Some locals and day visitors like us
used the beach too, but it was not crowded at all. The only negative was
that there were some large rocks at the waters edge that made wading out a
somewhat risky adventure with the surf wanting to knock you over. This was
not so bad at the closest beach as it was at the far end. (There are 4
coves, with the farthest being clothing optional.) As I said the Hawksbill
was nice, but probably not as fancy as Sandals (never been there - only seen
ads).
