Jolly Apartments, the Nicest Apartments on Jolly Harbour! - UMV #4 Upper Marina view 

Special interest holidays:

The recreational possibilities on Antigua are endless. I have listed but a few here: yacht sailing, Catamaran trips, snorkelling, diving, sailing club for beginners, zip lining, helicopter trips, go carting, jet skiing, speed boat hire. Stingray city, where you can stroke stingrays in the water. The list could go on for hours, there is literally loads to do in Antigua. Not to mention the local bars and restaurants that are dotted all over the harbour.

Coast/Beach:

The Jolly Harbour Beach is located half way down the west coast of Antigua, this is the protected side of the Island so the waters are still and turquoise, perfect for all water sports and swimming.

Catsaways Beach bar serves foor and dring, and a 2 for 1 in Happy Hour, there are also regular theme nights at the Beach Bar. Great fun!

Travel:

It takes 20-25 minutes in a car from the Airport. There is also a car rental shop on the harbour, so you can rent a car for your whole stay or just the odd day as it suits. Most people rent golf buggies to get around the harbour, which costs only $20 a day, and rent a car for the odd day to tour the island. This makes things much cheaper. There is however, loads to do on the harbour. So just hop in a Taxi at the Airport and sort the rest once your settled in!

Distances:

6 Miles from the capital St. John's.

11 Miles from English Harbour.

12 Miles from Airport.

Further Details:

There is a large upermarket 2 minutes walk from the apart, many shops and anks, there is also a Pharmacy. So you don't need to leave the harbour if you don't want to. Car ental, fishing shops, childrens clothes and a few boutiques, and general Stores/chemist that stocks pretty much everything

Wenesdays is Karaoke night at The Crows Nest next to the Pool and Tennis Courts, Thursdays is 2 for 1 Pizza with Live music on the Harbour front, Friday is Karaoke night at Castaways. And there is Live music and dancing at The Crows nest on many nights of the week, and the Bands they have are truly great!

Jolly Harbour is a great place for kids, it is secure , the entire harbour has security gates and security people all over, so no one without a pass can enter. You you can relax and have peace of mind, the locals love kids and they can make as much noise as they want, they are invited to take part in all the dancing and karaoke nights, so mum and dad can kick back and relax.

I was there last week (May/June) with my 8 year old daughter for the first time after buying Villa Gatzby, I was a bit concerned that she would be bored as she is an only child, I couldnt have been more wrong, she danced, sang, made pot pies, fished, screamed with delight out on the speed boat. There is Cable TV & DVD in the Villa, which we fould very useful at night as she just watched telly until she fell asleep, which was always remarkably early!
