The property is not within the vicinity of any shops or restaurants and does not provide dining. There is no one manning reception on a regular basis so you have to wait until someone turns up! ☹️

The advertised restaurant is not open. The towels were stiff and thread bare. The wifi was very hit and miss, not working most of the time. Breakfast was $15USD but when I went to pay I was asked for more for the service charge even though the bill said only $15. The bed was comfortable and ac worked well.

The property is okay but the owner, Nick, is a fabulous person. Very very helpful. I had a very early morning flight to catch and the tsxi didn't turn up. I called his number which he gave me at check in at wee hours of the morning. He not only called a taxi for me but waited for it until it arrived. More power to him.

Cancelled accommodation!
Arrived to be told my room was cancelled said they had emailed me that morning. I had received no email and they could not show any proof of sending one. In fact Hotels.com had sent me an email to ask how my check in was ! … so they had not cancelled my room if fact according to Hotels.com they still had rooms available that night. The manager offered me alternative accommodation which I reluctantly accepted that was further outside town. Luckily I had a hire car without one would have caused serious issues

we arrived at Caribbean Inn to be told that there was a plumbing problem and they had found another hotel for us . we were taken to the most awful hotel in st Johns ...there was no way we would have felt safe there , it was run down and scary. we had to find somewhere else to stay which was not easy as due to the cricket everywhere was full. wonderful staff at the Heritage Hotel in St Johns helped us and called us a taxi to a very nice place a few miles away. Although we did not stay at the Caribbean Inn , I cannot forgive them for sending us to such an awful dive!

The business agreement made with Expedia.ca must be respected,the Quote was in Canadian Currency, the proprietor changed it to U S, that then created a discrepancy in the cost to me. He is friendly but business arrangements must be respected. I await your response.

I booked months in advance. On the night before my trip I got an email saying they had no room for me due to “maintenance” and to go there upon arrival, at which point they would let me know where they had rebooked me. That place ended up being a place next the airport runway that was considerable worse than what I had booked. I think they overbooked and I was the victim. Not the only one, because I met two people who had gotten the same runaround. I’ll never book a room there again. Anyone who does should get written proof within a day or two of their stay that there is actually a room available.

Honeymoon saved
My husband and I stayed a week at Sandals for our honeymoon and when we were scheduled to depart, a blizzard hit NyC and our flight was cancelled at 7:30pm. Sandals made no effort to help us so we found the Caribbean inn and suites. Originally we checked in for one night thinking we could get a next day flight. Upon arrival, We told Nicholas our situation and he gave us a suite at a discounted rate with a complimentary bottle of water. The next day we realized we would be stuck until Wednesday. We paid until Tuesday because that was all the money we had left and he kept us in the same room at the same rate. He could have been making more money on the room had he moved us. Nicholas set us up to be taken to the most at home like supermarket here so we could grab some necessities. Tuesday when we were going to check out and spend the night in the airport, Nicholas said no and gave us a complimentary night! Being from Ny where this would never happen, I was moved to tears. All this was done with ease and no prompting he’s just a good person. I definitely recommend to anyone who needs a place to stay in Antigua!

Disappointed.
I booked a room only to be told when I arrived that the proprietor had double-booked the room on the basis that I should have paid prior to the arriving. No apology was forthcoming. After some heated discussion, a room was found but after travelling some distance, and getting an expensive taxi from the airport, this issue was most unwelcome. Disappointing.

Nice hotel quiet neighborhood
Upon arrival i was greeted by the owner Ivan who was very welcoming and professional. Check in was very simple and quick. A tour was then given of the property. My room was rite next to the road but traffic noise outside was not a problem. I would definitely recommend to anyone whether just to overnight or stay for a longer time.

Will you avoid the noise?
my third stay now at this property, and the owner was kind enough to upgrade me to a suite for the second time. However there were some serious noise issues. The room beneath mine had an air con unit that made an almost intolerable noise on and off throughout the night. When mixing hot and cold water in the showers of some rooms (including mine) an awful wailing noise could be heard throughout the building. Although the owner knew about these issues he didn't seem in a hurry to get them sorted. So clean, spacious and budget friendly yes, but will you sleep well?

The bathroom had mold and mildew between the tiles. The floor was not scrub, the mat in the tub was old and dirty. The vent was so dirty nothing was coming out but dust. The bedroom was linen was no charge and we was there for a week. The bed was made and same linen was use. The towels was dingy and different colors. The soap in the bathroom was so old the minute it touches the water it broke to pieces. The floor was never sweep, and we had kids. The walls are filthy and rooms are musty

Not Far from Cruise Port
I needed to be close to the cruise port to board a ship, so I picked this hotel. It turned out to be a 10 minute taxi ride from the hotel to the port, and the hotel manager pre-arranged the cab for me after check-in. My room was on the 2nd floor, and was one of the nicer units. As I entered there was a kitchen area, dinette set,and living room. Off that was a bath room with shower and a bedroom with a ceiling air cooler. The bed was comfy and lighting was adequate for reading my kindle. I also had an outdoor terrace with a good view of the harbor. The taxi driver knocked on my door in the morning, and I was off to board my cruise ship.

Good value for the money.
Proprietor was nice. They are always cleaning. Needs updating in the rooms and some basic maintenance. He took note of what I told him about and will fix. Don't expect a restaurant. There is a fixed breakfast menu, and they don't have everything on it. This is somewhat remote. Bring your own drinks and snacks. Good views from the top floor, but no comfortable place to sit. Walked into town every day, 1.5 miles to the pier. Feels safe, church across the street, schools and a hospital in view. Lots of stray dogs in the area, harmless.

Caribbean Inn and Suites is a small, nice and tidy hotel just a 10 minute walk from the capital St Johns. The hotel manager, Nicholas, gives great service and can set you up with a friendly and knowledgeable taxi driver that will take you wherever you want during your stay.

Caribbean Inn one night stopover
The bed was not comfortable. We were not given a good welcome by the staff initially, although the senior staff member who attended to us subsequently was much more friendly and professional.
