The Admiral's Inn and Gunpowder Suites provided an unforgettable start to our honeymoon in Antigua. The customer service was exceptional—warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. The property itself was charming and impeccably maintained, offering a perfect blend of comfort and elegance. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to begin our journey. Highly recommended!
Ana, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

An incredible property. So many restaurants and bars in walking distance. The 18th century buildings are amazing and so unique. The staff has been wonderful. They made our bad situation of being stuck without a flight for a few nights an adventure to remember. If we come back to Antigua this is exactly where we will go!

Great stay
We had a lovely, relaxing time at the Admiral's Inn. We loved staying in the historic district! Thoroughly enjoyed interacting with the staff members, particularly Reggie behind the bar. What a personable and interesting man!

Step back into 18th century seafaring England and enjoy an important port in the West Indies! The historical preservation of historical structures with just enough modern comfort makes this a one of a kind place to stay!

10/10 Exceptional

The property is lovely. The staff is very accommodating. I would recommend staying in the garden stuites. The restaurants are good and offer vegan options. The bartender Reggie offered delicious drinks and Shama the asst mgr arranged a changing room after we checked out in order to swim and have lunch while waiting for our next boat accommodations on another property a few hours later. I would stay again.
Dawn, 3-night trip

One of the best hotel experiences I've had in my life. I have traveled extensively around the world, and this hotel was perfect. Excellent quality and price. The staff was just amazing and our room was extremely clean and beautiful. I will definitely be going back in the next few years!

10/10 Exceptional

A certified UNESCO site that we got to sleep at. What an incredible adventure. We stayed in the loft and it was worth the extra to have the lovely sitting room that opened up right int the harbor. Highly recommend this place. And be sure to grab a table in front of the sea near the kitchen where you can watch the fish and sting rays hunt!
Renee, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a lovely place to stay. The restaurant is outside (protective coverings) and the food was very good. The staff were friendly and helpful. The property is divided into two parts, separated by water; they have a water taxi shuttle that goes back & forth very frequently. The property is on the grounds of Nelson's Dockyard, so you're in the middle of an historical site. Really enjoyed my stay.
