Won a silent auction bid for a week at Hammock Cove. I have to book by 2025 so we are real flexible as far as timeline.

Any particular time of the year to go that is better than others?

Anything to do on the island you’d recommend?

We are fairly adventurous and plan to get a few dives in for sure.

Been 3 times on a cruise ship. Nastiest island I ever been to. Last visit, we stayed on the ship. Raw sewerage running along the street. Port water looked like milk. The typical poor island atmosphere

Are you me? Literally won the same thing! Mine is through Elite Island Resorts though so I can stay at any of their Antigua properties which also includes St. James Club, Galley Bay Resort, and The Verandah in addition to Hammock Cove.

I’ll say I did my honeymoon in Antigua at Cocobay Resort. The island is amazing.

Bumping this thread.

Did you guys ever go to St James club? The wife and I made a drunk auction bid at event this weekend, and are now apparently going to St James within next 2 years.

We honeymooned at the sandals resort 13 years ago and liked the island.

St James club?

The sargassum on that side was really bad last year. I think it is seasonal so you should probably research it. We stayed on the other side and didn’t see any.
