Hello Nikki, Thank you so much for your lovely 5 star review. It means a great deal to Laurence and I to receive good reviews as, we and the team, work very hard to keep the villa up to a high standard so that we and our guests can enjoy their stay to the max.

Dear Damilola, Wow thank you, another 5 star review for Villa Amazing! We are so pleased to learn that it met your expectations and beyond and that you all enjoyed your stay. Hopefully you also enjoyed the beautiful island of Antigua and the vibrant, colourful experience of their Carnival? It means so much to Laurence and I that our guests have an enjoyable and memorable stay . The views are truly Amazing, that is why we named the villa "Amazing", the wild life, esp the variety of birds are a joy to watch and so are some of the amazing sunsets which I am sure, of which, you have many photos! Please come back soon and pick up where you left off We wish you all a wonderful summer and thank you for staying KR Rachel

Wishing you all the very best KR Rachel and team

Hello Tara, Happy New Year to you all. Thank you so much for your 5 star review and with so many aspects of your stay covered. It was delightful to have you stay and rewarding to learn that you enjoyed your stay at our villa and that you also explored the surrounding area. It certainly is a good walk to Jolly Harbour and a work out coming back up the hill!! Thank you for your kind comments regarding myself and my management team. It's so pleasing to learn that, as a team, all the efforts we put in to make our guests welcome and comfortable are appreciated. With regards to the villa set up, we do ephasise more on outdoor living than indoor but I have noted your comments. Regarding the beach chairs, there are an assortment on offer and we do provide the style you recommended. We wish you and your family all the very best for 2026 and we would welcome you back anytime. Thank you for staying and being a part of our extended family. Time to take the Christmas tree down now. ATVB Rachel and co.

Hi Lucy, I do apologise for the late response However, tremendous gratitude for leaving such a perfect review What an amazing way to spend your birthday and hopefully you went home with many fond, happy and long lasting memories of your time spent in Paradise? Wishing you all the very best Laurence and Rachel

Hi Michael Thank you so much for your wonderful 5 star review. It means so much to Laurence and I that you took the time to write such an detailed and rewarding review . It makes everything we do worthwhile. It's also extremely satisfying to know that your stay fulfilled your expectations and hopefully you returned home refreshed and renewed? Thanks once again and we do hope you can come at stay next year. ATVB Rachel and Laurence :)

Hi Victoria, Thank you for your 5 star review. It was a pleasure dealing with you as you seemed so positive and determined to have a great vacation. You obviously enjoy returning to Antigua for many reasons, and clearly as a beach lover like myself, you weren't disappointed to what was on offer and some of the best beaches are just a few minutes drive away from the villa. Villa Amazing is always a good tranquil place to return to after a "hectic" day at the beach where you can relax by the pool and sip a cool drink as you watch the sunset If you do decide to visit Antigua again please bear Villa Amazing in mind, we would love to have you back but stay longer next time! BW Rachel

Dear Gwenda, Thank you for your 5 star review, it means so much to all of us that we can deliver a successful package.

We hope you all went home with many happy memories of your stay at Villa Amazing and of the island itself. We ourselves have never experienced Christmas in Antigua but hope to one day. Thank you for staying with us and please come back and stay another time We wish you and your family a very happy, healthy and wonderful 2024. All the best Rachel , Laurence and Felecia

Dear Martin and Corinne, Thank you for your review. I am glad that our lovely home gave you the mental healing and restored your well being that was so needed after your sad loss. I agree that the ambience here is so positive and soul full that you cannot help but return home after your stay feeling refreshed and renewed. It works for us every time!! You also mentioned Muttley who grew to love Martin and his "dog talk" they had some wonderful conversations didn't they??? ATB to you both. Love Rachel xx

Hi Ben Thank you for your 5 star review and its good to hear you enjoyed your stay at Villa Amazing. With regards to the stray cats, they are actually not strays but abandoned cats from a neighbouring villa. Before the owners left mummy cat and her six siblings (all boys) were neutered so they stayed together as a family and are very much domesticated. Unfortunately they do like company and, as they hang out together, it can be quite a few that turn up. I'm not sure if you have been to Antigua before but most visitors soon witness the appalling way animals are treated, abused and abandoned, even physically harmed or poisoned We found that rather than ignore them we feed them (rightly or wrongly) and then they often disappear until tea time. We are compassionate, caring animal lovers and don't find them a problem. I do mention in the villa notes that you can just shoo them away and they rarely come indoors. Unfortunately they are part of the wild life community on the hill and there is no way of keeping them out of the outdoor areas. None of the animal charities would take them either as they are overflowing with unwanted abandoned animals I hope this helps to explain the cat situation which is really something that is out of our control. Wishing you and your family all the best and hope you return again next year BW Rachel

Hi Amy Wow what a review thank you so much The most important thing for us is that our guests enjoy their stay, not only at the villa but also to experience what the beautiful island of Antigua has to offer All of the Caribbean islands have been adversely affected by the pandemic and so being able to receive guests once again from around the world is tremendously important and to read 5 star reviews like yours will hopefully encourage and give confidence for future travellers to the islands Thank you for staying at Villa Amazing, we hope you went homes with Amazing magical memories Please come back and stay with us soon All the very best to you all for 2022 BW Rachel

Hi Donna, Thank you for your 5 star review. There are a few issues that you mentioned that I would like address Firstly I do not know of any villas on Sugar Ridge that have AC in the main living area, as there are two ceiling fans and all louvres and folding doors can be fully opened to provide a cooling breeze. Also with regards to the fridge freezer this is a large Whirlpool American style appliance that is more than adequate to accommodate most guests needs. We recently had 6 adults and 1 baby stay with us and we all coped perfectly with the size of the fridge and freezer as most guests do I spoke to management regarding the paper towel situation and they confirmed that they provided 2 at check in, as part of the welcome pack, bought you 2 more the next day and one more the following day together with a box of tissues. so their account is rather different to yours .When renting self catering accommodation a welcome pack is always provided which contains essential items, it is really then up to the guest to restock anything they require after that for the remainder of their stay. I understand from Loura that you even wanted the welcome pack goods taken out of the fridge and taken away which she found really quite rude and has never been faced with that before. Also I am extremely surprised and quite concerned that you found food and debris on nearly every dish as Laurence, my husband, and I were there only 10 days prior to your arrival and I can assure you we left everything in an immaculate and clean condition. However, thank you for your comments. We are very pleased to learn that you had a wonderful time and that you would recommend this spot to anyone visiting Antigua. Please come back and see us again soon. KR Rachel Banks

Thank you Richard for your 5 star review I hope we can welcome you back to Villa Amazing again in the near future KR Rachel

Hi Riyaz thank you so much for your 5 star review. We love to hear that guests have had a wonderful stay and wanting to return again is like the icing on the cake!! We wish you, your family and your friends a safe 2021 and we look forward to you returning to Villa Amazing, hopefully in more normal times when you can then enjoy and see the island at its full vibrant potential. BW Rachel and Laurence :)

Dear Jill I will go through you comments one by one:- Lounge chairs - if you had asked, management could have brought more lounge chairs up from downstairs as a further two are stored there. AC in common area - to my knowledge no house on Sugar Ridge has or indeed requires AC in this area as there is always a good air flow through the folding doors, rear door and louvred windows and two ceiling fans. You can also lower the balcony screens at the hottest part of the afternoon which helps to deflect any excessive heat Dining area - most guests when they come to Antigua enjoy outdoor living and outdoor dining and do not want to eat inside. The villa is set out for this Limited food prep areas - a local chef found them adequate No storage for dry goods - there are two double cupboards for dry goods which we have always found to be ample Broken AC - whenever a guest reports a problem we always request that management check it out first. She reported her finding to me on 2nd Jan and then we informed the AC technician. They inspected and try to repair which they could not and so a new unit was sourced and installed 9th January. Screens - we were in residence until 3rd Dec. We requested that the screens were repaired in the first master bedroom not because it is the room we use but because we felt that these needed replacing as they have become loose. We know our own villa extremely well and although there were a couple of small pin holes in the 2nd master bedroom this did not warrant a repair and nor did any of the other screens. According to our maintenance man you were requesting multiple screen repairs that were unwarranted. Guests before and after your stay made no comment As explained to you, the flying ants are a nuisance but do not bite. They however find their way indoors due to their miniscular size, they get under the doors and thru the louvres it is not due to the failure of the screens Internet - we have been waiting since Nov 18 for an upgrade which is due to be installed this week Our villa is not just a holiday home it is our 2nd home, we do routine maintenance regularly and disagree there were routine maintenance issues. No one can foresee a breakdown of equipment and this was dealt with speedily under the circumstances. Unfortunately we just found you too demanding and needy, the Caribbean lifestyle clearly does not suit you. Three times I sort HA assistance and they advised to cease all contact, which I did. Rachel
