Ellen Bay Inn

Ellen Bay Inn was an excellent place for us to stay during our 5-night vacation in Antigua. This family run inn staff treated us like extended family. They picked us up from the airport, arranged for a rental car, provided most of our meals, guided us on places to see and made sure that we enjoyed every moment of our stay. The location is a bit remote and a rental car is recommended. There are no elevators for those challenged with mobility. But the rooms are very clean and there are great views of the bay from the rooms as well as some common areas. The grounds are also very well maintained. A key Antigua tourist attraction - Stingray City - is barely a 5-minute walk from the inn. I strongly recommend this inn to anyone who wants to get a feel for the local hospitality. We are looking forward to our next trip back here in due course of time.

DIRTY. Ants investation in the bathroom. Dusty very dusty. No sitting furniture in rooms. Just a simple wooden chair to seat a child. The bed and pillows should be in the trash. The floors should be outside the veranda and the veranda floor should be inside. The AC unit is in a closet. Took forever to cool down the room. The bathroom is terrible with the towel probably 10 years old. It stinks and needed proper cleaning. No bathroom door. They used a closet door sliding on a small rod. It was a struggle to open or close it. The door to the room and especially the bl8 ds or was it a curtain? Should be in the dump. The entire row of rooms are this way. They advertise a cafe. Fake none. There arw no attendants. Rhey come and go. You are by yourself with a number to call the boss if needed. Absolutely off the grid. No amenities near by. False advertising. Nothing on thier site except the building is true. These things are off site by taxi. Country living. No ambience, plain, stinky, and dirty. We boomed based on the pictures. Not part of the inn at all. These are outside amenities. This is wrong. It looked good when it was new but needs a complete gut job to upgrade the place into 2023 standards. It should be maybe $50 a night if you are stranded or don't care about nothing. Only thing it has is a good view. Road bad. No easy access to anything. No breakfast. You will starve out here. Again false advertising don't use. These people are wicked to sell this to people. Trip advisor you all need to vet these places better before you advertise for them. I wish I could post the real pictures. 🤥🤥🤥🤥😡😡😡😡

Only used the cafe for a spot of lunch as we had visited the nearby Stingray City. Please don’t bother very little choice just breakfasts……it was 1pm. Food was really pretty poor, I was worried about eating it to be honest. Two coffee’s a bit of toast for my wife and eggs potato and sausage for me came to 70 XCD so very expensive for poor quality food. Don’t go unless you have too.

Service was horrible, the front desk lady was very rude and made us feel like we were bothering her. Room was full of bugs and spider's. No hot water. The website says that there is free breakfast, but that isn't true. She will charge you.
