Hammock Cove Antigua distinguishes itself as a "Gastronomy-First" luxury resort where every single accommodation is a standalone villa featuring a private infinity plunge pool and a dedicated Guest Ambassador. Clients consistently rate it as "the best" because it eliminates the typical pain points of all-inclusives: there are no buffets, no fights for pool chairs (since you have your own), and the dining experience rivals Michelin-starred restaurants. It is designed for travelers who value culinary excellence, privacy, and personalized service over expansive beaches or nightlife.
Here's why I think you'll love it too:
• Like Having Your Own Fairy God-Staff: Okay, not really, but close! From the moment you arrive, your dedicated "ambassador" is there to make your every wish come true. Dinner reservations, private excursions, cocktails by the pool – just text them, and it's handled.
• Intimate and Exclusive: With only 41 villas (either right on the water or with stunning ocean views), Hammock Cove is all about peace, quiet, and personalized attention. It's perfect for honeymooners, couples celebrating something special, or anyone who wants to escape the crowds.
• Food That Will Blow Your Mind: Get ready for a culinary adventure! The chef here is amazing and loves to create dishes tailored to your tastes, especially if you have dietary needs. It's all-inclusive, but with an à la carte menu that changes daily – think fresh seafood, local flavors, and international favorites.

Beach Expectations at Curtain Bluff: What You Need to Know
Beach-lovers beware: Antigua has 365 beautiful beaches, and some resorts are situated on a long, wide-open beach. Adjust your expectations, the beach here is not like that. If that is an issue, this is not the resort for you.
Frequently Asked Questions: Hammock Cove Antigua
1. Does every room have a private pool?
Yes. This is the resort's main selling point. There are only 42 units, and every single one is a detached villa with a massive lanai and a private, temperature-controlled infinity plunge pool overlooking the turquoise water.
2. How is the beach at Hammock Cove?
It is important to know that the beach is small and man-made. While it is beautiful and serviceable with calm water, this is primarily a "pool and view" resort. If you need miles of white sand to walk on, you might prefer a different property, but the villa experience here usually outweighs the small beach.
3. Is the food really that good?
Yes. The culinary program is led by Marco Festini, a Michelin-trained chef. There are no buffets. Everything is à la carte, featuring items like lobster, wagyu beef, and intricate tasting menus. It is widely considered the best food in Antigua.
4. What does the "Ambassador" service include?
Unlike standard butler service, your Guest Ambassador acts as a personal assistant. They handle unpacking, restocking your customizable mini-bar (with premium wines and spirits), bringing lunch to your pool deck, and arranging all spa or excursion bookings.
5. Is it adults-only?
Yes. Hammock Cove is strictly for adults. The atmosphere is quiet, romantic, and sophisticated, making it ideal for honeymoons or anniversaries.6. Is it an all-inclusive resort?Yes, it is ultra-luxury all-inclusive. This includes all meals, top-shelf liquor (not just local brands), wines, water sports, and gratuities. The only extras are spa treatments and off-site excursions.
7. Where is the resort located?
It is located on the northeast coast of Antigua, right next to the famous Devil's Bridge National Park. The views of the crashing Atlantic waves nearby contrast beautifully with the calm protected bay of the resort.
8. Is there nightlife or entertainment?
It is very low-key. You might find a pianist in the Chairman's Lounge or a gentle acoustic set, but there are no discos, foam parties, or loud shows. The resort shuts down relatively early, focusing on relaxation.
9. Waterview vs. Waterfront Villa: Which is better?
Waterfront Villas are on the lower level, closer to the sea, offering unobstructed views. Waterview Villas are on the hill; they still have great views but are set further back. We generally recommend upgrading to Waterfront for that "floating above the ocean" feeling.
10. Is there a dress code?
Yes, for dinner. It is "Resort Elegant." Men are required to wear long pants and collared shirts at the Lighthouse Restaurant. It is a dressy resort in the evenings, reflecting the high quality of the dining.
