One of The Best Romantic Affordable Ideas in Antigua is Cocos , and in my opinion it has to be the top all-inclusive honeymoon destination resorts in the Caribbean. It is undoubtedly one of the more secluded romantic Caribbean resorts

The first thing to say is that it is vital you ensure you splash out a little and take at least a superior seaview cottage, if not a premium. The standard cottages are very noisy because of the road, and a neighbouring hotel, which they are close to, whereas the superior, and premium are up the hill, and round the corner. They have huge balconies, and spectacular views with king sized beds. Their main drawback is the uphill walk, and the fact that with no air conditioning you tend to leave the doors open, and let the mossies in, and the nets were not too efficient!!

Siboney in Antigua fist came into my radar when I was researching, privately locally owned hotels in Antigua.

It struck me as possibly one of the more secluded romantic Caribbean resorts, and so having spent my honeymoon in Cocos  in what I still think is one of the best Caribbean honeymoons hotels, I was anxious to return and try the Siboney  Beach Club.

This is not an Antigua resort review in the typical sense of the word, but it is an Antigua vacation review, and not one where Antigua’s best resorts will be the ones you expect.

In this article I will ask you to forget the all inclusive resort, and instead look for lovely local establishments offering a totally laid back alternative. A real hideaway dream spot compared to the characterless chain resort frequented by those people who believe that where they are staying is the real Caribbean.

All over the Caribbean there are independently owned small hotels, and guesthouses offering a far more relaxed alternative, far closer to the real Caribbean experience. They may not offer an International buffet experience but you will be able to eat out in local restaurants, eat fresh caught seafood as it is landed.

There are two things in particular you should note. The first is that every dollar you spend will go into the local economy and not to the Marriott, Hilton, Meridian International Chains far away from Antigua.

The second thing which affects your personal economy is that you will pay per room, and not per person, and in this way you will save a small fortune.

I have read a number of Grand Pineapple Antigua Guest Reviews, and was a little nervous before taking my young family there on vacation, but I needn’t have been. Although like anyone writing a review I have my own opinions, and the first thing that I must say is by Far East standards this is not a 5 star. Caribbean 5 star beach resorts are different altogether.

The Pineapple Beach is situated on probably the best beach in Antigua, in a lovely cove, and it is quite small compared to other all inclusive resorts I have experienced
