Extremely welcoming, caring staff. Very clean rooms and extremely comfortable beds. Off the beaten track making it very quiet with beautiful views and walks. Scrambled eggs to die for at breakfast ! Drink making facilities in the rooms would have been very appreciated.

the Chef was great, it is a small family owned place and they all chip in , the food was the best I had on the ISLAND in years. depending on your room and what you book, you get different things but the overal experience was great unless you want a more Eurocentric experience in the carribean, then the other Resorts are for you, but I love this little family Run place, was HOME.

I enjoyed my stay at Ellen Bay Inn. The staff were great and very accommodating. Feels like a family atmosphere. I think the only disadvantage (or could be an advantage in some cases) is it feels a bit “of the beaten path.” It would be challenging to get around with wheels but the staff offered me fairly priced transportation when I didn’t have a rental. Stingray city is within walking distance so that’s an option too.

I feel overall my trip to Antigua was not what I had hopes it would be. It was very difficult to find lodging given the busy time and government interruptions cancelling flights. It was very lovely meeting the owners of the Hotel. I throughly enjoyed their communication when the time allowed for conversation. The area felt very safe and it was extremely quiet. It was on a hill so the view of the water was very nice. The hotel in itself had a lot of stairs so it was difficult for me with multiple bags and disabilities but I managed. The room was older fashioned, not modern and the sheets and pillow cases had holes in them, the pillows were more like couch cushions, not standard pillows in which I am not accustomed to. The location is secluded on the other side of the Island so there was nothing to eat in the area, you would have to take a cab. Most dining locations were not open late on the island either. The location is by a main attraction I wanted to go to, The Sting Ray City. They require reservations in advance so I was unable to attend. They did have a tortoise and bird sanctuary in which I loved. The hotel provided me with a discount voucher which I was grateful for. I ate breakfast and dinner at the hotel, which was prepared by the owners. Although I was grateful for the meals, I was not accustomed to the taste. I paid for free breakfast but there was a charge for all meals. Honestly the best part was the owners had an amazing story line that I enjoyed listening to.

The staff at Ellen Bay Inn are so friendly, and they make your stay in Antigua feel like you’re there visiting family. I had some issues with my flight changing last minute, but Ellen Bay Inn quickly responded to my email with my new details, and I felt like I was going to be looked after. On arrival, Trevor was there waiting for me at the airport with a smile, and Sharon was at the hotel waiting for me also with a smile. I felt like I was at home. I would absolutely recommend Ellen Bay Inn and say there again.

This is a great spot if you’re just looking for a place to sleep. Not many amenities and it’s difficult to get food (or drinks). Nothing else around so we did eat crackers a few nights.

Sweet and friendly staff! Just know what you’re looking for. We moved elsewhere midweek where we could get food and drinks

My stay at Ellen Bay was very relaxing. I came to the property when everyone else was leaving which made my stay peaceful. Food can be made to order on property which was super convenient and affordable, all you have to do is order ahead. Transportation was available for an extra fee from the airport and that driver ended up being my driver for the duration of my stay (I appreciate you Trevor). Staff is super friendly and the property is located less than 5 minutes walk to the sting ray excursion which is discounted if you're staying at this property along with the turtle excursion which I missed out on. Super affordable if you're in a budget.

Property is quaint, great food offered for breakfast and be certain you know if you will be eating dinner there by 4 to place order, otherwise you may not have the opportunity. Smoking is allowed anywhere (not in rooms)on the property so be prepared if you’re not a smoker. If you’re driving, parking and streets around property are very rough. Hosts and chef are so sweet and very helpful. Location is amazing to walking to stingray village and short drive to amazing beaches w bars. USD was widely accepted. Local market and eatery around corner from property too that was a fun local vibe.

We have only good things to say about Ellen Bay Inn. It offers personal, local accommodation. The owners are friendly, and accommodating. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available if you are wanting to eat there. The food was local Caribbean food and very good. The property is pet friendly and we were able to walk our dog in the neighbourhood. Ellen Bay Inn does have an airport shuttle which is very handy and well priced. We had a nice overnight stay there in transit to another island and hope to stay at Ellen Bay Inn again next year.

We booked Ellen’s Bay Inn because we wanted to be close to the Stingray City tour operator. It is within walking distance. Judith and sister Sharon were gracious and helpful in providing information, recommendations for local sight seeing opportunities and the perfect ambience in an Inn that is more like being welcomed into their home. They provided us with an excellent breakfast and dinner fare that was on par to any exclusive restaurant on the island.
They attended to all of our needs, as guests.
Both harvested lemongrass from their garden and crafted excellent lemongrass teas for us.
So often we believe it’s the destination and not the people that we meet along the way. This journey was enriched by our stay there.

A good place to spend the night

We spent a night there, and despite being simple, it really helped us. The owner received us in a very friendly way and although it was a little bit late, she was very kind and prepared us something to eat. The air conditioner was already on in our bedroom and the bedding and the room were totally clean. The bedroom has a nice space and there were two double beds. Regarding the location, it's far from downtown, and if you're looking for restaurants/ cafeterias, they aren't around. Breakfast is available.

This was a mistake. Wont return. No service whatsoever on Christmas day. Not even a bottle of water was offered and they fully well knew that a guest was arriving as they left the door open with keys Inside. Nothing was open in the area nor was the cafe open. It was christmas day, what a way to share a happy cheerful welcome. The bathroom had nothing in it but toilet paper and liquid hand soap. The shower glass wall had a massive crack and someone thought it was smart to use paint and draw over the crack in a shameful attempt to hide this.

Too distant and disconnected for me.

The place is remote and nestled within what appears to be a residential area. Without maps, it would be difficult to find. There was no one at the office upon arrival. No instructions were provided on what to do to check in. I had to ask a neighbor to contact the number on the door. We waited for someone to show up.

Wifi was weak.

Room was clean and tidy.

Booking in on arrival was slow. We were not expected despite notifying them of our arrival time. Demand was made for payment even though we had paid one month before when booking. No apology when they discovered our payment. All-day breakfast turned out to be just sausage and egg even though we had ordered mushrooms and baked beans as well..! The worst breakfast we have encountered on our holiday so far - sloppy and broken eggs. No restaurant service available in the evening. Poor water pressure in the shower. Dirty windows. Nowhere to hang wet towels and swimming costumes.
Woken up during the night by the noise of the water-pump situated behind our room.
Nicely lit terrace area in the evenings.
Overall we would NOT recommend this property.

Coût des repas plutôt élevés.
Déjeuner continental \"inclus\" mais en 7 nuitées, je lai eu 3 fois.
2 matins il y avait rien et les 2 autres
On m'a fait part que le dejeuner d'aujourd'hui était des oeufs/ bacon ou \"french toasts \"...
Pour ensuite me les faire payer lors du check out..
C'est un peu insultant entre choisir de ne pas manger ou payer ce qui devait être inclus...

Confort de la chambre correct
Par contre, il pourrait y avoir une 2e couverture plutôt que juste un drap, ça serait un gros plus! :-)

Ménage de la chambre minimum, sans que ce soit un ménage complet quotidien, il serait bien de passer aux 2 ou 3 jours pour vider les poubelles et changer les serviettes. (suggestion) plutôt que de passer après 5 jours.

sinon, emplacement loin de tout mais tranquille et agréable, Wifi performant, espaces de stationnement suffisant lors de mon passage, cuisinier sympatique.
Chambre suffisamment grande et quand même en bon état pour une période post-pandémique où l'absence de touriste à dû affecté durant plus de 2 ans.

We arrived early and the owner had a terrible attitude towards us, we felt like we were an annoying part to her day, she was not friendly in any sense of greeting her customers, once we got settled in our room we noticed lots of spiders and ants and nats were very bad in the restroom, the shower had no hot water and very poor water pressure and we did try to contact the owner but she was never around for us to talk to so we decided to move to a different hotel we tried 3 separate times to contact the owner and to no avail she just was never around and when we tried to check out she had rented out the room while we still had paid for the room and had a key to that room and she never even let us know. In general it was a terrible experience and very unfriendly and that fact she just gives the room key to one customer and gives another set to another customer is a accident waiting to happen but if you are looking for just a bed and plan on being gone most of your day I wish you the best of luck with your stay here.

Bathroom shower glass was broken and it was decorated to look like art. Very week and low water pressure. Unable to wash hands in bathroom sink. Used shower to clean hands.
Television did not work but was told it was brand new.
Air conditioner went out on first night. Called mgmt who came promptly (KUDOS). Was told AC unit was new. MGMT rubbed batteries which turned on AC unit for room. Provided two fans to room in case the AC unit went out again. Loved the outdoor space but at night the bugs is a bit much. Would be nice to have netting outside since there wasn’t much to do in room while my children slept
