My personal review of Jolly Beach Resort:

WE LOVE IT - that's why we return. It is only a 3 star resort but the wonderful friends Antiguan staff make it feel like a 5+ resort. It has the best beach in Antigua. The Standard rooms are very small but then we don't spend much time in our room - we are too busy enjoying the outside.
