A wonderful gem of a hotel
Just returned from a fabulous 2 weeks stay at the Catamaran hotel . Loved so many things about this hotel . Firstly it's set on the beach and loved that I could have my first cuppa of the day with my toes in the water and in the company of whisky the 3 legged cat. The beach was never busy ,no fighting for the supercomfy sunbeds . The sea a little murky looking but safe and easy to float by the pelicans and royal terns that sat on the posts patrolling the sea for fish . Cloggies and sweet ts a few yards away for easy food and drinks and 2 supermarkets for supplies. Found the buses run regularly into English harbour for restaurants and bars but we usually enjoyed the walk back in the dark with a torch . Found a craft beer garden called "saute",just past the crab hole supermarket which did a great healthy stir fry and into town a place called "that's life" which was also good value for money and excellent food and friendliness . Back to the Catamaran-Colin and his family were very helpful and friendly, we had a trip o er to Pigeon point in Colins boat and our room was kept spotless by a lovely lady who was always smiling and obliging. For those who want on tap nightlife and perfect modern rooms ,this place is not for you ! The rooms have an old fashioned look and are slightly rough round the edges ,but had everything we needed and wanted ,with breakfast being an interesting surprise everyday . Thank you for a wonderful holiday with you ♡♡♡

Fantastic authentic Hotel
An authentic family run hotel in a great location. The staff are so friendly. The food was lovely and it has a Bar too. The rooms are large with kitchenettes. Worth getting a room with a view. Great location. Sea is clear but sloggy so beach shoes might be required.

Don’t book with hotels.com
Lovely authentic hotel but don’t book with Hotels.com book direct.
We tried to shorten our stay for one of the two rooms we had booked within the allowable dates for change ..they say they couldn’t get hold of the hotel and by the time they did it was outside of terms …the room was relet to another family but hotels.com won’t refund us our two days despite screenshots of the conversation and the hotel not helping us resolve it . £500 out of pocket.

Very friendly, fantastic beach!!!
This hotel was fantastic. The beach is perfectly calm, I was the only one there during my stay. The staff are incredibly sweet, the receptionist gave me a slice of her pineapple when I left!
I had checked out of another hotel on the other side of the island and so showed up at about 11 am, even though check in was 3 pm. They let me right into my room, probably because she said it was low season.
The beds are firm but comfortable, shower gets hot fast. There is a good restaurant (Cloggy's) next door and there is a little store/ice cream and snack shop pretty close by as well. Breakfast came right at the agreed-upon time, and was eggs, some fruit, juice, and toast/bread.
The surrounding area is way more low-key than the north side of the island, it is very relaxing. I would definitely come back to this hotel if I return to Antigua!

Great family hotel
We stayed at the Catamaran for 5 nights and loved the place. We were here during the low season and had the place for our selves. We had two rooms on the ground floor (9 and 10) and appreciated the veranda next to the beach. Continental breakfast was served at our veranda and was enough for a good start of the day. We rented a car at the airport so we could explore Antigua and that worked out great. There are many restaurants in the area. We enjoyed BarB’s a lot with a nice happy hour and great food and views.
The supermarket although small is 5 minutes walk to stock your fridge.
We drove to many beaches in the area and ran a trail every morning at 6 to explore the area which was fun and good exercise.
We highly recommend the Catamaran.
