The Ocean Inn Antigua

We stayed 2 nights as part of a 2 week holiday. Robert the owner was lovely and very accommodating. With views of English Harbour and a 10 min walk to Nelson’s Dockyard. The room was large with a fridge and kettle. Balcony which although is very small has a table and chairs. The hotel has a pool and continental breakfast is included. The hotel is up a hill so a taxi or car is required if you have mobility issues. The hotel is being upgraded by the owner so parts are a bit tired but don’t be put off you will want for nothing. We had breakfast cooked by a renowned chef who had come in especially to do this for my husband who had just finished his Atlantic Row and I have to say Selwyn’s breakfast was wonderful

The Ocean Inn and host, Robert Potter, are gems! Robert is friendly, always smiling and always available to help in any way guests need. His heartfelt warmth and laughter create a relaxed and pleasant a**osphere. Breakfasts offer a variety of juices, yogurts, pastries, fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs and cereals. Robert went above and beyond the call of duty to purchase plain, Greek yogurt for my daily breakfasts. Additionally, there was an honor bar fully stocked with soft drinks, beer, liquor and ice. The views of English Harbour from our cottage porch, the dining area and the pool deck were spectacular! We never tired of it. The pool was medium-sized and always clean. The deck provided sun loungers and some shade under one giant umbrella. The garden was beautiful. The rooms were comfortable and cleaned daily. The air conditioning worked well and the TV offered Netflix, Prime and many other channels. Edgar, who works at the Inn, provided us with taxi service to town, beaches and Saint John's. Edgar was friendly, knowledgeable and a very careful driver! He was dependable and always on time. In short, The Ocean Inn and Robert Potter made this a wonderful vacation!

Robert is a wonderful host. We lost a day and then arrived late the second day. Robert welcomed us and made everything easy. We would stay there again.

This Inn was really nice to stay at, amazing view, staff were nice, the owner helped us so my CV and came with breakfast. Very reasonable price as well.

Wonderful views and accessibility to English Harbour and its amenities. Robert and his team also go above and beyond to assist you and help you feel at home!

Came to Antigua at the last minute in the middle of low season and this hotel/B&B was fantastic. There were great views across the English harbour and Robert was so helpful. If you have any questions he could either point you in the right direction or would phone someone right away and sort it out. Highly recommended as a place to stay despite the hill from the shoreline but if you want great views you need to get up to them!!!

Robert could not have been more accommodating or friendly. The rooms are clean and the view is exquisite. They have a pool overlooking beautiful fruit trees, flowers, and all of English Harbour. They have a basic breakfast, small bar built around a tree, and are an easy walk (with hill) to all of the restaurants or either harbour. We loved it.

We moved to the Ocean Inn after four days at an “all inclusive” and they were very different experiences……and we preferred the Ocean Inn. Yes, it’s not immaculate and could do with some TLC and a lick of paint but the location, the view, the laid back a**osphere and the wonderfully helpful owner (Robert) made it a wonderful place to stay. We had a few (minor) gripes such as confusion over our room on arrival and problems with the hot water - we quite liked the refreshing cold showers in the end! - but the plentiful breakfast overlooking English Harbour and Nelson’s Dockyard, the honesty bar - how refreshing to have that, the lovely swimming pool and Robert’s friendly and positive/happy demeanour made it a winner. The local restaurants are a short walk (downhill - which means quite a steep uphill on the way back so perhaps not for those not so mobile!) and the buzz of the harbour area meant it held so much more interest for us compared to the more pristine, immaculate, hygienic and bland hotel and “all inclusive” alternatives. We loved it!

Great place , great host wonderful views and a**osphere i recommended to all
