I have been to spring hill riding club on many occasions and it is by far the best riding school and experience i have had anywhere in the world. The horses are all lovely and extremely well looked after, Suzanne and Kent are laid back and very helpful and accommodating. I always rode Joy on each visit and she is the most calm and beautiful horse, a true gentle giant. I'm now living back in the UK and miss my Saturday beach rides to rendevous bay. I hope to be back soon. For anyone procrastinating on whether or not to do this ride whilst in Antigua, DO IT. The memories will last a life time.

Anita is one of the best masseuses I have ever received a deep tissue massage from. She found my problematic areas without being told and I felt incredible after each session. Highly recommend this place!

Antigua's first and only Micro brewery. We have beer on taps as well as bottles. Only bar on the island with draft beer. Check out our Facebook page for our seasonal beer. All ales are made in house.

Thank God for 2SIX8!!! Antigua was in desperate need of good beer and 2Six8 has saved them from a fate of suffering from inferior beer syndrome (IBS). IBS (in this case) is where you’re stuck on an island and there is nothing but small, plain lager beers to drink. Thank you 2Six8 for saving us all! Great beer and wonderful staff. Nikki was kind and entertaining, and Hops the dog was adorable and fun loving. Our favorites were the Goat Farm pale ale and Frig It amber. When we arrived they had just run out of canned beer since they had sponsored a large event the previous day, so what did they do to rectify this? They canned more beer for us and we picked it up the next day. Fantastic!

Welcome to Dockyard Divers, Antigua.One of the greatest pleasures in life is to go diving. To move in that extra dimension and enjoy the colour and adventure of this other world is something everyone should experience. And of course diving in the warmth of the Caribbean waters is an added bonus. If you haven’t yet got hooked, one great way to see if its for you is to try a beginners or resort course. First a basic, easy to understand lesson, followed by equipment check out in shallow water, and your first dive! After this experience most decide to take a certification course.
