The Admiral’s Inn was an excellent stop in our Antiguan vacation. The property is exceptional and full of the island’s history. Other than the grounds crew getting early starts to their chores, the stay was quaint and quiet. The surrounding Nelson’s Dockyard area is awesome! Take the short hike to Fort Berkley for incredible views. We had a beautiful meal at the on site restaurant for our anniversary. Another night we walked the short distance to town for a local meal. Overall I highly recommend this hotel to anyone!

The Admiral’s Inn gives us a wraparound Antigua welcome! We’ve stayed there before but this time we were delayed and had missed our dinner reservation… but if it was a problem, the staff were still as charming as ever, the dinner was delicious and our room, number7, had been renovated to a high standard since our last trip. All wonderful, thank you!

The Admiral's Inn and Gunpowder Suites provided an unforgettable start to our honeymoon in Antigua. The customer service was exceptional—warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. The property itself was charming and impeccably maintained, offering a perfect blend of comfort and elegance. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to begin our journey. Highly recommended!

A certified UNESCO site that we got to sleep at. What an incredible adventure. We stayed in the loft and it was worth the extra to have the lovely sitting room that opened up right int the harbor. Highly recommend this place. And be sure to grab a table in front of the sea near the kitchen where you can watch the fish and sting rays hunt!

When we arrived at the property there was no one at the desk so we had to go down to the restaurant Boom near the reception to ask to check in. We were checked in and weren’t given our voucher for the Wifi we had to ask for it. Nor was the welcome drink offered we had to ask for it. The room was very clean and nicely decorated for Valentine’s Day however there was oddly no TV in the room. There were no robes as advertised in the booking. The staff were all very nice however and the rooms were clean and well taken care of. The breakfast ends at 10 AM so we got lucky showing up at 9:50 Am For then to still serve us breakfast. We had an OK time. I just recommend anyone staying here should wait for a good deal or stay at another hotel worth the price.

Great location but slightly dated hotel

Good points: Great location with bars and restaurants along the road. Loved being able to get the free boat to the main restaurant in the morning, and the ride to the beach. Service was fab. View from the room was lovely, perfect to watch the comings and goings of the boats. A particular highlight of my stay was a fantastic massage - well worth the extra cost. Not so good points: As is the nature of the hotel, it's all a little dated, with features needing an update. Little things in the room showed lack of attention to detail, e.g. the shower pressure was rather weak, the hairdryer didn't work (though there was a spare!) and the alarm clock was set to the wrong time and would occasionally go off. Also the WiFi was intermittent, rather annoying when the main form of communication with the reception was through WhatsApp.

Superbe expérience.

Hôtel fantastique de part son emplacement au cœur du patrimoine historique de English Harbor. Être logé dans le logis des ingénieurs navals est un privilège. Accueil et service impeccable. Chambre sous les toit avec beaucoup de charme et une salle d’eau très confortable. Seul manque un frigo. Le second site avec la piscine et la navette entre les deux sont une belle expérience. Petit bémol : quand on annonce que sur le canal WhatsApp on sera notifié du fait que la chambre sera prête on s’attend à ce que ce soit fait.

An incredible property. So many restaurants and bars in walking distance. The 18th century buildings are amazing and so unique. The staff has been wonderful.
