First Impressions: A Secluded Slice of Heaven
Located on Antigua’s picturesque south coast, Hammock Cove is an adults-only resort designed for couples and travelers seeking tranquility. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the resort’s intimate feel—only 42 villas sprawled across lush tropical gardens, ensuring privacy and personalized service.
The open-air lobby sets the tone with sweeping ocean views and a refreshing welcome drink. The staff greeted me by name, a small touch that made me feel instantly at home.
The Villas: Pure Luxury with Stunning Views
I stayed in an Oceanview Villa, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The modern, airy design featured floor-to-ceiling windows, a private infinity plunge pool, and a spacious deck perfect for sunrise coffee or sunset cocktails.
Key highlights of the villa:
✔ King-size bed with premium linens (so comfortable I struggled to leave!)
✔ Indoor and outdoor showers—because why choose?
✔ Mini-bar stocked daily with premium spirits, wine, and snacks
✔ Direct ocean views from the terrace—waking up to the sound of waves was magical
Dining: A Food Lover’s Paradise
One of the biggest surprises was the exceptional dining experience. Unlike typical all-inclusive resorts with buffet lines, Hammock Cove offers à la carte gourmet meals at their three restaurants:
- Lighthouse Restaurant – The signature fine-dining spot with ever-changing menus featuring fresh seafood, prime cuts, and Caribbean flavors. The lobster thermidor was unforgettable!
- Drift Restaurant – A more casual beachfront option serving delicious wood-fired pizzas and fresh ceviche.
- The Chef’s Table – An intimate, multi-course dining experience (highly recommend booking this).
Every meal was paired with top-shelf wines and cocktails—no watered-down drinks here!
Service: Impeccable & Personalized
What truly sets Hammock Cove apart is the staff. From the butlers (yes, each villa has one!) to the bartenders, everyone went above and beyond. My butler arranged a private beach picnic, made dinner reservations, and even surprised me with a bubble bath setup one evening.
Activities & Relaxation
While I spent most of my time lounging by the infinity pool or on the pristine beach, there were plenty of activities:
✔ Snorkeling & kayaking (included)
✔ Daily yoga sessions with ocean views
✔ Excursions to Shirley Heights or Nelson’s Dockyard (a must for history buffs)
✔ Spa treatments in an open-air cabana
Final Verdict: Is Hammock Cove Worth It?
Absolutely. If you’re looking for a luxurious, adults-only retreat with world-class dining, impeccable service, and breathtaking scenery, Hammock Cove Antigua delivers. It’s not the cheapest option, but the experience justifies every dollar.
Who Should Stay Here?
✔ Couples seeking romance & privacy
✔ Foodies who appreciate gourmet dining
✔ Travelers who value personalized service over crowded resorts
Who Might Want to Skip It?
✖ Families (it’s adults-only)
✖ Budget travelers (this is a splurge-worthy stay)
My final rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

What a treat this place was! Felt very Boutique and top notch service for relaxation. My husband put it in our top 2 vacations. Shout out to our Ambassadors Rondel and Kenya for making all of our requests painless. Food was top notch and manager Troy and chef Marco always checking on tne guests. We will definitely be back!
Toney Torbey
Hands down the most amazing food of any resort we’ve been to. Every person that works there were simply outstanding. The chef is very personable and will accommodate most requests, though the options are already fantastic. Troy, the Restaurant manager is professional, knowledgeable and funny. This resort is a must do if going to Antigua. Our Ambassador Leon, treated us as if we were the most important guests. The beach food and service was exceptional. Raw oysters, Rock lobster, shrimp, octopus, Calamari, Italian Sausage were just a few options.
Rebecca Mclver
My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon at Hammock Cove and had the most incredible time! The property is absolutely stunning and the villas are incredibly clean, comfortable, and spacious. The ambassador service is great and it was so convenient to be able to call 24/7 for reservations, questions, or room service. Delarno and Rondel were the absolute best!!
The plunge pool, outdoor bar, and lounge area on the linai is so private with the most beautiful views. The beach is on the smaller side but has ample lounge chairs with great service starting with fruit water in the morning to drinks and food in the afternoon. The watersports staff was so personable and took us out on the Hobie cat, set us up with kayaks and fishing poles whenever we wanted. The Calypso Cat boat excursion was so much fun and it was awesome to get a different view of the island with great snorkeling and a lively crew. We also took advantage of the Spa and had the most incredible massage!
We were both blown away by how outstanding the food was starting at breakfast all the way through dessert after dinner. The menu rotates for each meal every day so there was always variety with plenty of healthy options. We went to the Lighthouse every day for dinner and each meal was better than the last. The 7 course tasting menu was one of the best meals I have ever had and Chef Marco makes an effort to connect with all of the guests each night at dinner and at the cooking demonstration. The Nobody Knows Rum Bar below the restaurant had a great selection of drinks and Gabriel was an amazing bartender and so much fun to talk to.
Our honeymoon was everything we could dream of and more and we owe it all to the wonderful staff and incredible facilities at Hammock Cove. We can't wait to come back!! Run, don't walk to book Hammock Cove if you want a romantic, quiet, relaxing, and luxurious honeymoon!
