Review of Curtain Bluff Resort
I had been twice to Curtain Bluff in short business trips in the past (although it is certainly not a business hotel) and I was so positively impressed that I decided to take my wife and daughter to a holiday there.
It was a very wise decision.
I have been to many resorts and islands in the Caribbean and I don't think there is anything better than Curtain Bluff, the perfect combination between a boutique hotel and an all-inclusive resort.
Location is superb, not far from the airport, in a quiet part of Antigua, flanked by two beaches, one rough, ideal for surfers, and a very calm bay, perfect for families and water sports. The resort has very extensive grounds for a relative small number of guests so you will never have to reserve loungers or wait for tables, tennis courts, etc.
Food is outstanding, all a la carte, except the exceptional lunch buffet (where you also have a la carte options). The menus include many options and the food is always presented very nicely, warm and promptly. A 5-star cuisine in the Caribbean!!!
I could go on and on about the positives of CB but let me concentrate on the two highlights: the people and the value for money.
The team is large and of incredible nice disposition and superb training. It is headed by the omnipresent owner, Chelle and the General Manager, Rob.They lead by example, greeting everybody, making everybody feel part of a family and, logically, everybody else follows the lead. You don't need to wait for a waiter, a beach assistant, a bar tender, they will always be there with a smile and a nice disposition.
And then, it comes the issue of the cost. Yes indeed, it is a boutique five star resort and is priced accordingly and competitively. But, when you carefully run the numbers and realise you don't have to pay extra for speciality restaurants, premium dishes, motorised water sports, premium drinks, sea view rooms (all rooms have sea views), room service, not even tips (the inelegant, uncomfortable and embarrassing practice of all day long tipping is actively discouraged), you come to the conclusion it is actually very good value for money.
If you have reached this point of your reading and haven't booked Curtain Bluff yet, do hurry up, you don't need to do any further research, you have already found the best resort in the Caribbean
