Carlisle Bay

Description:

• Giving every first-class resort in the Caribbean a serious run for its money is this stunner. It's the most opulent, most luxurious, and best-accessorized hotel in Antigua, with a European flair that fits into what's left of the island's English colonial overlay. Set on a picture-perfect bay, the resort offers every luxe amenity, from a world-class spa and a movie theater, to tennis pros, to serious cuisine. The Beach Suites are steps away from the water. Best of all, there's a sense of whimsical fun associated with a stay at this resort. The Carlisle Suites are the biggest units, with three bedrooms, a sitting room, and a kitchen. The resort's entire collection of furniture, all dark Indonesian teak and creamy Italian upholstery, is custom made, all of it supremely comfortable, stylish, and with lots of pizzazz.
