I decided on a ten day stay at Jolly Beach resort in Antigua in 2014 -Jolly Beach being a fabulous , oh so heavenly a base from which you can easily discover the whole island. The resort has an Indian restaurant,an Italian restaurant,a Seafood restaurant and grills on the beach all within the complex and it s all included!.

Best time to go ? I went in March and it was hot, a few, very welcome daily showers lasting ten minutes-not too many mosquitoes either.

I travelled British Airways but the greatest and all inclusive deals are to be found at any major holiday company.

What I loved about Antigua is that you can still have tea and cakes at four O’clock and cricket on the beach. So British :)and a wide variety of water sports.
Best inland trip? Shirley Heights on a Sunday evening to dance to the steel bands and other days St John’s for shopping-tax free-cruise ship gazing and a visit to the museum.
