Curtain Bluff - All Inclusive

A Great vacation experience. Management has got this just right. Every wish and desire is anticipated and accommodated. Staff is polite and friendly and efficient We will return over and over again. Highly recommended and the best resort we have visited.

We have visited Antigua many times and each visit we are very lucky and privileged to choose two hotel resorts to stay at. No longer, we’ve found our perfect home from home at Curtain Bluff and have already booked our flights back to Antigua and will be staying at Curtain Bluff for our whole trip next year instead of visiting 2 resorts. The Bluff is a truly exceptional hotel that has been lovingly cared for and managed by Rob with each member of staff looked after. On arrival we were shown to our beachside room which was light and spacious with direct access over a small wall that you could climb over to the beach, incredible. A huge comfortable bed, walk in power shower and lovely room amenities. The rooms face the surf beach and whilst I wasn’t brave enough to swim on that side of the resort, I very much enjoyed the hammock by my room and a coffee in the porch terrace in the morning looking out at the bluff. We arrived during Thanksgiving and there was a lovely family vibe across the resort which has a large American clientele - we made quite a new friends from across the Atlantic. Our first evening was spent on the beach at a barbecue which we normally tend to avoid but it set the standard of food for the whole week, the food was exceptional and extremely varied, we enjoyed every meal..Our only niggle was having to book tables in advance at the beach restaurant, which we thought was slightly better and menus more to our taste . The drinks were also great, with signature cocktails and branded spirits. Both my partner and I love tennis, the court and tennis facilities are first rate, I don’t think I’ve ever played on a court with such fantastic views. The new adult spa pool was also amazing and perfect for a sundown glass of wine. We really enjoyed the free snorkelling trips and sailing with Ali, one of the highlights of the trip was the sail over to Carlisle bay on the hobbie cats. Whilst we there, there was much discussion about the new British owners as many guests are repeat visitors and each week are entertained in a cocktail party up in the bluff house which is such a lovely touch and something that the previous owners who sadly passed way started many years ago. I hope the new owners will continue the tradition with Rob and perhaps create some of their own! Can’t wait to see the resort develop and hope it will be in time for when we return next December. This is an exceptional all inclusive and the reason why so many people return.

Curtain Bluff is a home away from home. It's shabby chic in the best way. Where every other place in the world is seemingly competing on being the fanciest and most exclusive feeling, Curtain Bluff invests in what matters most: exceptional service, making you relaxed in a way no other place I've been to can. The exceptional tennis staff and facilities are a particular highlight. The hotel feels like a discreet private club where guests and staff are all thrilled to be. In that way, its different than most places and I hope it stays that way. A little extended family tucked away in Antigua that loud and showy people can't even find. Perfect.

Curtain Bluff feels like stepping into Kellerman’s Resort if it had a Caribbean cousin. It’s relaxed, familiar, and full of understated charm. Nothing flashy or trendy, but clearly a place that’s been lovingly cared for over decades. You’ll quickly see why so many guests return year after year—it’s more than a holiday spot, it’s a tradition. There’s a strong sense of community here, almost like a club. Guests casually ask, “Is this your first visit?” and by the end of your stay, you’ve worked out who’s part of the ‘establishment.’ It’s friendly, but definitely has a rhythm all its own. Food is solid—like eating at your favorite local restaurant. Plenty of choice, not too adventurous. If you’re after bold Caribbean spice, you might want to pack your own hot sauce! Drinks and cocktails are a highlight: beautifully crafted, never rushed. The beach is everything you’d hope for: warm water, soft sand, and top-notch water sports. Go diving, sailing, waterskiing—or just relax in the sun with a good book. Entertainment is nightly, usually during dinner. Acts change nightly—some excellent—but the soundtrack leans smooth and safe: lots of ballads, steel drums, and ballroom dancing. Don’t expect a party scene; most nights are lights-out by 11. A surprising bonus is the media detox. No TVs in rooms, no background music all day. If you want sound, bring headphones. If you want screen time, there’s a TV room. Otherwise, you’re encouraged to unplug—and it’s a refreshing change. Finally, it’s the staff who make this a truly enjoyable stay. It feels unfair to single out any one of them, they are all wonderful people. Carol, our driver and Island guide is just the happiest person. The crew running the beach bar are always good for a chat when you need to escape the sun. Would we return? Not just yet. We’re still chasing more adventurous trips. But we’d send our parents in a heartbeat—the relaxed pace, the charm, and the quiet rhythm suit that demographic perfectly. That said, there’s investment happening and upgrades on the way. Curtain Bluff won’t change drastically, but it may gently evolve—and in doing so, might start drawing in a new generation of traveler.

An amazing experience - so many activities to take advantage of. Water sports were amazing. The friendliest staff I have ever encountered. Food was wonderful. I can’t give enough praise to Curtain Bluff. We are definitely going back in 2026

The only drink I had was spiked and I fell and split my head open. I had a head injury and facial injuries. Spent the night in the hospital and the mangers, Wendy and Rob, did their best to gas light me into thinking it was my fault. There are 8 hours I cannot recall- thank god I was with my husband. Avoid this place!!!
