Donkey on the Beach

After nearly 30 years since I was last in English Harbour I decided to arrange a return visit with my wife, brother and sister in law. We wanted to stay in or close to English Harbour in more of a laid back and quiet atmosphere and location and not at one of the large resorts. Online searches directed us to several hotels in the area including a very interesting guest house in Cobbs Cross called “Donkey On The Beach”, which had great reviews. The description of this property met all of our requirements and the rate for 1 week was very reasonable. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment on the 2nd level which offers beautiful views of Falmouth Harbour and a lovely sea breeze. After arriving we were met by Erica who was very polite and helpful and made sure that we had everything we needed, she made us feel very welcome. Erica also took time to share her local knowledge and gave us recommendations for restaurants, grocery, and local attractions. The apartment was very comfortable, well decorated and equipped, it had everything we needed. The property is a 5 minute drive from English Harbour and the surrounding bars and restaurants, Pigeon and Galleon Beaches are also a short drive away, my recommendation is to pick up a rental car at the airport. We really enjoyed the home-from-home laid back Antiguan atmosphere and quiet tropical surroundings. Staying here made our vacation special. We look forward to staying at this lovely property again during our next visit to Antigua.

Abbiamo fatto una vacanza di 10 giorni a Febbraio. L’appartamento ha decisamente superato le nostre aspettative. Dotato di tutti i comfort a pochi metri da alcune delle spiagge che vale la pena visitare ad Antigua, Galleon e Pigeon Beach. La struttura è inoltre vicino all’ English Harbour e al Nelson’s Dockyard. A piedi la sera si possono raggiungere diversi ristoranti e locali dove mangiare e bere bene, godendosi anche un po’ di vita notturna. L’isola in generale è fantastica ma con tutti i consigli di Orietta e Danilo, proprietari della struttura, abbiamo goduto delle migliori spiagge, i migliori locali al tramonto ed i migliori ristoranti per rapporto qualità/prezzo. Quando ritorneremo ad Antigua, non abbiamo dubbi, ritorneremo al Donkey on the beach!!!

Poche parole: 🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝 Bellissima la casa. Stupenda la posizione. Proprietari perfetti: sono a disposizione per qualsiasi esigenza!! A pochi minuti dalle spiagge più belle di Antigua. A pochi passi da locali, ristoranti e market! Vacanza meravigliosa!! Torneremo……
