Great Vacation in Antigua My partner and I recently returned from 2 weeks in Antigua. Our first week was spent at the pineapple beach club in Dickinson Bay. We stayed in an ocean view room on the third floor in one of the three buildings on the hill. The room was beautiful and the ocean view was amazing. To get down to the pool level was 72 stairs with walking in between. We didn’t mind the walk, but for anyone with mobility issues that would be a problem. The food and entertainment was very good. It is a small resort and extremely laid-back. You never felt crowded and guests were very friendly and mingled with each other The highlight of this resort was the spectacular beach. The only downfall was beach service was nonexistent. In seven days we saw a server on the beach only once or twice. Read less

My sister and I and 4 other women spent a week at the Pineapple Bay Resort arriving on January 18th. This beautifully kept resort is small and intimate, and our group felt like we were visiting a rich relative’s island vacation get away!!!! We absolutely loved the quaint atmosphere of the resort. My sister and I asked for an Oceanview Room, and we were not disappointed with the incredible view. We were in the 8 block, Room 815. Unlike other resorts I have stayed in, the bed and pillows were unbelievably comfortable. We were so impressed with the cleanliness and size of the room and balcony that we didn’t mind the 24 steps up and down to and from our room. Water pressure and temperature were always great as well as toilets and air conditioning always worked. The Coffee shop was amazing, ice coffee and hot specialty coffees, treats and individual fruit salads were available there. The food was delicious and fresh in every location, but we especially enjoyed breakfast in the Topaz buffet restaurant, where there was a vast selection to satisfy all. There is a snack bar for those who want a quick bite or snack between meals. The Outhouse bar and grill at the top of the hill was incredible and the ribs at lunchtime were to die for. But this is where we found the most spectacular view of this paradise! The tradition is to write your name on a wooden plank and the year/date of your visit and nail it to one of the trees or wooden posts of the restaurant. It was very interesting to see how many people come back year after year to this resort! Everything was close by, there were always a lot of chairs at the beach or pool, and the entire resort was so clean! All the staff were incredible from the women at the reception desk, to the servers and bartenders. Special shout out to Renée and Annetta (Coffee Shop), Anika (a real gem in Client Services), Dequan (spelling?) the Kind of the Fun Squad, Anne Marie, The Queen of the Fun Squad and the rest of the Fun Squad staff, Jamal (Porter) Amber (Room Manager) and Nicole (Hostess at the Topaz buffet). We did not get to know all of their names, but all the staff were overwhelmingly friendly and helpful. Special mention to Jason, our excellent Nexus Tour’s driver who picked us up from the airport and sadly had to drive us back to the airport when our vacation was over. We hope management realize what a wonderful job they all do. My sister and I wanted a relaxed and easy vacation at a clean and cozy resort where we would feel safe, and Pineapple Bay was beyond perfect! We highly recommend this resort if you are looking for a laid back and relaxing vacation. We also made new friends from the Uk, Tennessee, Texas and Ontario that made our stay incredibly memorable. This was our first time but hopefully, it will not be our last as we have every intention of returning in the very near future. Read less

This was a beautifully kept resort with some exceptional staff. We had oceanview room in the 700 building. View was incredible and grounds had beautiful lush vegetation. Alot of stairs in the 600,700 800 and 900 buildings, not suitable for limited mobility guests unless you request golfcart service which was available but would recommend discussing with hotel. Room was recently refurbished and was spacious and clean except floors looked dirty or black with grout and paint spilled everywhere or not cleaned properly. We had king bed and was comfortable .Water pressure and temperature were always great as well as toilets and air conditioning always worked. Please note maid service is every other day and they do not provide drinks in the mini fridge. They do not provide free water bottles but there are water dispensers and cups at all the bars. Coffee shop amazing, ice coffee and hot specialty coffee and treats and snacks available there. Renee and gentleman working there always exceptional service. Beach and water was wavy but beautiful and swimmable everyday despite red flag. Pools beautiful but we prefer beach. Food always amazing in every location, exceptional staff like Stacey Ann, Tricia and Joyce in the Topaz, I could not remember all names but many great staff. Entertainment each night was ok, steel drum band and beach bbq night was amazing! This is a resort with an older crowd so laidback and not rowdy with loud music etc. When we were there. Wonderful peaceful vacation. Biggest complaint is such a steep resort fee and tourism levy that really adds up. Would recommend this resort but the fee is a deterrent to coming back. Read less

My husband and I wanted a relaxed and easy vacation at a clean and cozy resort - this was beyond perfect! We highly recommend Pineapple Beach Resort if you are looking for a laid back and relaxing vacation. The only reason for the 4 star is the rooms (particularly the bathroom) need an update! Read less

We were at Pineapple Beach Club for out honeymoon. We booked a beach front room and ended up right next to the ocean in a brand spanking new room. It was beautiful! The employees were amazing, Tricia and Oquenya (spelling?) were always so cheerful!! We only went to one A La Carte at the Italian restaurant and it was delicious!! The BEACH is out of this world, we booked a trip to Shirley Heights with GMan, his office is on the beach, he’s the guy if you want to know something or plan something to do. There is also a barbecue snack place called The Outhouse on the property that is also amazing, the views anywhere on this Island are amazing. The resort was always clean, the only thing lacking was bottles of water so we just kept refilling the small bottles they gave us our first day, there self serve are refill stations at both bars. Next time I’ll take my big 40oz water bottle to fill. The resort itself is beautiful and the beach is what made our stay unforgettable. Read less
