This is one of the most wonderful hotels I've ever stayed in! The family that runs it is lovely and the staff is super friendly, including Koa, the most adorable French bulldog.
As soon as you pass through the massive wooden doors, imported from India along with the rest of the exquisite furnishings, you encounter one of the most delectable indoor pools I've ever seen, made of marble with a fountain and jets and you haven't even left the "lobby" yet.
You can have an exquisite breakfast brought to your room as you wake up to the sound of birdsong.
And climb to the rooftop terrace, and it's almost scary how massive the volcano is, looking right down on top of you, as you sit to the south of town, with a totally unimpeded view.
The location is just to the south of town but I found that this brought unexpected pleasures by allowing me to see areas of Antigua I otherwise would never have seen. Otherwise it's only $4 uber trip into town or you can do what I did each day which was to walk into town, taking various routes, exposing me even further to unexpected delights that most tourists would miss.
I can't recommend this hotel highly enough!! A hidden gem!!
