Made up of its two namesake islands, Antigua and Barbuda is situated where the Atlantic and Caribbean oceans meet. Antigua is the larger of the two islands and emits an archetypal Caribbean vibe, with immaculate white sands running into strikingly blue waters. Little sister Barbuda is smaller but offers equally (if not more) impressive beaches. St. John’s is the capital of Antigua and Barbuda and the only city on the island of Antigua. Here you’ll find hotspots such as the national museum, Heritage Quay shopping centre and various markets selling everything from soaps to sea shells. However, the islands’ biggest draw are their beaches. With 365 on Antigua alone, you’ve got one for every day of the year. You can soak up some rays on the popular resort beaches of Dickenson Bay and Runaway Bay, whilst Barbuda offers 16 kilometres of pink and white-tinged sandy beaches and barrier reefs. Both islands provide accommodation but Antigua is the more developed and makes for a better base. Accommodations range from all inclusive resorts to holiday parks and homestays. A ferry runs between the islands six days a week in almost all weather conditions.

Guest review
We stayed for 8 nights in 3 different rooms and loved absolutely everything.
People! The nicest and most helpful staff. Huge thanks to Kris and Maria for making our trip so memorable and relaxing.
Location. The hotel is located on the west side of the island at the Caribbean Sea. This is a better option as the sea is not as rough as the ocean, especially when it is windy, and has fantastic clear water. The hotel is on a small rock/hill by the water and sunset views are absolutely amazing.
Beaches. There are two really nice beaches near the hotel: Valley Church Bay and Jolly Beach. We preferred the one at the Valley Church Bay. There are sunbeds only for Cocos residents. Alternatively, you can stay at the hotel grill bar right next to the beach as it offers some nice shade during the afternoon. This side has a lot of sun in general, so if you like a bit more shade the part of the Jolly Beach on the other side has a cute little lagoon, also for hotel residents only, and is a more calm option.
Food/Drinks. There is a main restaurant next to the reception. They offer a la carte menu for breakfast, lunch, dinner - our favourites were Caribbean flavours for meat and seafood. The bar next to it is the area to socialise in the evening after dinner with some nice live music (which is different every day). Cocktails are great - our favourite was the rum punch with angostura bitters and nutmeg. The bar on Valley Church side is open in the afternoon (until around 5:30pm) and offers great grill food like burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs - our favourite was quesadilla with shrimps. There is a draft lager beer (great in the sun) and of course cocktails, they do a cocktail of the day, which is fun. There is a tiny bar next to the Jolly beach as well - it is a good option to pick up a drink after a boat ride or a diving session as this is where boats usually pick you up from and where they usually drop you off.

Authentic huts in a lush tropical garden right next to one of the best beaches on the island. Loved the private patio, the private canopy bed on the beach and the outdoor shower. The staff is exeptionally nice and caters to every wish.

Guest review
I returned to Northshore after my last stay. I loved it so much I had to be back. Wingfoiling has been a big part of my trip, but this time I also had some work to be done and needed to stay in. In this case Northshore was the place to be thanks to their great wifi and comfortable rooms with desks. The apartments allow you to have a full day of work inside without needing anything from outside. The spacious fridge and good stoves made it possible for me to get something cooked during lunch break too. Tiziana and Druso, the owners have been again lovely and professional and helped me out when I needed anything. I am considering to return here in Antigua at Northshore next year for a full month of work from home and holidays.

Guest review
This was my seventh visit to Ocean Point.......but the first after Covid. The property was well maintained and the
hotel architecture resembles an Italian Villa. The variety of palm trees and the gardens were spectacular as before! The
Staff is well educated with customer care and is very courteous and friendly. The biggest change was the kitchen......before
there was a large buffet for every meal. However, after Covid, buffet style meals have been "outlawed" but their served
meals are still exceptional with ultra fresh ingredients!!! We had the all inclusive package which I would highly recommend!
