Book a hotel near Shirley Heights, English Harbour

"Spacious room. Far exceeded expectations."

"The house was spacious, charming and well appointed. Communication with the agent was excellent, and our only regret on leaving was that our vacation ran out too quickly. It was a wonderful home in which to enjoy the beauty of Antigua, and the views from the house were spectacular."

"Galleon Beach was the perfect place to be. We explored other areas and had a great time, but we loved staying near Starlight the best. The porch was our favorite place to watch the sunsets! Seeing the boats go in and out of Nelson's dockyard was fun to watch! Scooter Snorkling right off the beach was amazing! We were so grateful for the many pictures they took. We took advantage of the hiking nearby as well as making our own batch of rum at the Academy of Rum. Starlight was beautiful. We did not need a thing. It really was a great place to stay."

"This place was amazing! Perfect private getaway. Equipped with everything you need to enjoy the island. Check in was easy, though better signage would be nice. The only thing missing from the kitchen is possibly a pitcher, but we just used the pitcher to the blender. We enjoyed our stay so much and plan to come back!!! Possibly for 2 weeks next yr!"

"June, the owner, lives next door, so check-in is easy. "

"We were a little sceptical about Galleon Beach Resort due to limited reviews but we did not regret booking. Upon arrival Talia showed us down to Sea Breeze - cottage number 10. She left a welcome sheet providing her mobile number incase we needed it, numbers of taxis etc. The cottage was beautiful with a living area with two small couches, a kitchenette with microwave, toaster, coffee maker, fridge water cooler and 2 plate hob. We had two large bedrooms, the Master with ensuite, plus a second bathroom with shower. The highlight of the cottage was having the sea right on our doorstep, we loved sitting out on the patio watching the boats, listening to the birds and the waves. The snorkelling from here was also the best we've experienced. Over the three nights we stayed, we saw Sea Turtles, an Eagle Ray, Puffer fish, baby squid, and hundreds of fish. As we didn't have a car we called a taxi to take us around to English harbour (there is also a water taxi) which cost $15 each way and visited Nelsons Dockyard, had lunch and got some supplies from the Coventry garden supermarket. It was easy to get a return taxi back from the taxi rank at the Dockyards. We prebooked for the same driver to pick us up later that day and take us to Shirley heights for the Thursday night party (also $15). We booked the Loose Cannon beach bar for dinner for two nights, small menu but the Explosive prawns were exquisite. Highly recommend staying in these beachfront cottages!"
