It is a really nice hotel .
Friendly staff , great food , good drinks , nice swimming pool , absolutely amazing location , nice beach and very good value for the money .

We booked ocean point as an all inclusive holiday with British airways and flew from london .

Arrival :
The hotel is close to the airport , we didn’t book transfer in advance but it was very easy and quick to get a taxi at the airport which charged us $20 to take us to ocean point hotel .

The check in process was very pleasant , they welcomed us with Rum punch and smile and explained everything we needed to know .

Room :
We booked the cheapest room and didn’t pay extra for ocean view room , however we were given a beautiful ocean view room on the first floor .
The room was nice and clean , comfy bed and mattress , clean bathroom beautiful balcony with chairs and table and we had everything we needed in our room .

Pool :
The pool is massive , nice and clean , they clean it everyday just like they clean everything else daily and you can use it 24 hours a day .
Lots of sun loungers around the pool , shower etc .
There are also some comfy sofas near the pool to relax and enjoy the pool and ocean .

Reception:

The receptionists are always extremely helpful and friendly .
There are comfy sofa in the reception area with a nice coffee machine and cold drinking water .

There are also toilets in the reception area .

Beach bar and restaurant :

The bar is open from 10 am until 11 pm and they make you pretty much any drink you like and give it to you with smile , the bar is located on the beach right next to the main restaurant.

Breakfast , lunch an dinner is served at the restaurant, because of COVID they have a small menu which you can choose from but the food is different everyday and they keep it interesting.
I loved the food , it was really tasty and the service was really good too , the waiters were good at their job very friendly and do all their best for guest to have a good time .

The bar and restaurant are really pretty , the food taste so much better when you are eating right on the beach and watching the Caribbean ocean .

Overall I really recommend ocean point , we are still here and we are having a great time , Antigua is like a peace of heaven , it’s so beautiful and we are very happy that we chose ocean point as our hotel .

Expectations were exceeded, based on the website and after reading many reviews.

Room was amazing, I honestly couldn't fault it - a view through coconut palms on to the Caribbean Sea, huge double bed, big fridge to store drinks, big bathroom, high ceiling - and most importantly for me, all clean!

The hotel is attractive, with lots of effort going into the maintenance of the various plant gardens including coconut trees, banana plants and other tropical vegetation which makes the general scenery beautiful. The building is low rise and tastefully positioned to not interfere with the panorama of the coast. Corridors and layout are airy and bright, highly photogenic.

Staff is good, they served me and my partner well, though on a few occasions I did feel they might be being overworked. I don't know for sure of course, but as I was there for two weeks I think I counted that many of them had worked every single day, often dawn till late at night. I hope they get well earned time off/good pay. Some went out of their way to supply me and my partner with home grown mangoes, pineapples and other fruits, which was really appreciated.

Food was a winner and consistently delicious! A tip for some of the negative reviewers complaining about the hotel's predominantly Italian/ Asian inspired food - if you'd have read the website and menu beforehand, this wouldn't come as a surprise or shock. I too would have liked more Antiguan and Caribbean food, but since I chose to come to this hotel I can't exactly complain. We did tell staff and management that it would be nice to have more local fruits and foods on offer - this feedback was kindly received. I guess they have to accommodate the tastes of thousands of people from different countries, so the food on offer is perhaps the most convenient for them to serve.

Drinks were top notch. Good rum, good beer, and on the few occasions I had cocktails, these were also fantastic. On a handful of afternoons the bar was not manned consistently, but since I was so relaxed and happy from my stay I couldn't really be that irritated - staff are always nearby to talk to and ask for help at the bar.

The hotel beaches are attractive, especially the smaller one. It felt like a dream to swim out in the warm water and look back at it, with all the coconut trees swaying in the breeze and the sand and bar next door looking so inviting. As a keen swimmer I went out further and noticed to my delight that there is a fair amount of well developed coral, not 50 yards/meters from the beach! Sunken cannon too, very cool.

Water machine was a life saver in the lobby - we must have had 5 litres each a day - bring re-usable water bottles from home and fill them up. Also means you're able to handle more of the booze!

Antigua is a delight and we saw virtually all of it - the hotel lobby is your likely best and most affordable bet for doing the various tours and boat trips - shopping around online didn't yield any better value results, so you can relax about that. If you do want to go somewhere specific and not part of a tour, be mentally prepared to really fork out big wads of cash for taxis - they are expensive. A destination on the other side of the island (never more than 40 minutes drive one way) costs around US 80-90$ for return, a shock. We joked that if you want to become rich quick, become a taxi driver on Antigua - you could easily make a grand in a day. Nothing to do with the hotel though, just a warning for traveling the island overall. We did walk around much of the north island where possible, and even took a bus (US 1$) from St John's which was great value, but there doesn't seem to be an established bus timetable.

Value of the hotel by Antiguan standards is apparently unbeatable. The island is considered a high end getaway, so good luck finding better bang for your buck. I saw neighbouring hotels with a price tag often double or triple what we paid, despite not really offering much more - would they be double or triple as good, even 20% better? - I highly doubt it. Unless I was a literal millionaire I wouldn't look elsewhere, nothing angers me more than bad value.

I can only recommend this hotel.

My friend and I had the most amazing time in Antigua and a lot of it was down to the incredible and hard working staff at Ocean Point. It was so lovely so speak to the staff on a daily basis. Special mention to Nick, Vincent, Tara, Donella and Mr B. All were super friendly, helpful and fun! The resort’s pool is huge and the garden area is beautiful. The hotel is only a ten minute ride from the airport and staff were helpful in advising us on the beaches / places we should visit. Overall a very pleasant stay and would definitely come back to this resort. We also loved the food!
