Family of 4 including 2 teenage daughters going to antigua jolly beach resort first two weeks in july. Keen to waterski, any price details. Any recommendations of trips out or useful tips for Jolly beach

Does anyone have any information specifically on the Wadadli Cats and Kokomo catamaran cruises to Green Island and Shirley Heights? I'll be staying at Jolly Beach and I read where pick up is on the beach and then you pick up other passengers at their resorts before you really begin the cruise. I sometimes get seasick ....or is the trip broken up enough to avoid too much rocky motion? I'm interested in some snorkeling for part of the cruise which I think you do at Green Island and eat lunch there too? Are the Triple or Quad Destination cruises these 2 companies offer worth the $100? Or would you suggest driving yourself to Shirley Heights and taking another type of cruise (less than a full day) elsewhere?

Have heard hawksbill has been taken over by Rex chain. ANyone stayed there? and any comments. Have booked in for May/June 2005 and comments on other sites are very contradictory depending on nationality it seems!!
Also are there dolphins to see anywhere? Thanks for help!!

Just wondering if anybody has stayed at the Dian bay resort (formally mango beach) and has any info on it????

We will be staying at Jolly Beach Resort in mid-April for a week. I usually go to Turks & Caicos for the relaxation and great snorkeling/diving but wanted to try another island. Reading some reviews it doesn't sound like we'll be doing much snorkeling at Jolly Beach. Since this is our 1st time to Antigua we'd like to venture out of the resort a day or two to other beaches and try local restaurants for their great seafood. Could anyone give me some suggestions and would you recommend renting a jeep ourselves (2 couples) or is it best to hire a driver to take us around? Any advice, suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hello, I am getting married in Antigua June 2nd. I am trying to figure out what my wedding party and myself will wear for the big day, and I am curious about the heat and humidity...is it very hot and humid this time of year? The heat dosent bother me so much as the humidity does! ANY info on the heat/humidity in Antigua in June would be so great!!!
Thanks,

As a resident of Antigua, I take a personal interest in our tourism industry. It is my priority to do as much as possible to help our visitors and those considering a visit to make the best possible choices. In order to do this I believe as much honest information as possible is required. Let's face it, we're all different. I may like a large busy resort and you might want a quiet cottage on the beach.

In addition, you'll never see anything negative in a travel brochure!

Please feel free to contact me with any question you might have. I'll do my best to help!

I'm thinking of going to Antigua this summer (August 2003) and I'm wondering what the cost of life is there...
How can a meal cost in both a tourist restaurant and a local restaurant?
How about renting a car to drive around?
Another price indicator I usually have is how much is a beer in a night club or a bar, at night?
thank you everyone.

I will be spending three weeks in Antigua in July, and I would very much like to meet some local folks who can show me the place. Anyone have friends or family down there?

A friend of mine is going to Antigua and is hoping to swim with the dolphins. She needs to know exactly what is involved and does she have to book before she travels ? Can anyone please help ?

I am planning to do a lot of snorkeling during the cruise over this New Year.
Please recommend best beaches for snorkeling near the cruise ship port.
Places I am visiting: Antigua, Barbados, St Lucia, St Martin, St Thomas.

I just received a quote from my travel agent to go to the Rex Halcyon Cove Resort. I am looking to see if anyone has recently stayed there & what they thought of the resort.
Thanks
