View beautiful and room clean enough. The menu prices are listed in island dollars-NOT USA dollars but I do didn’t see that noted so the prices looked sky high, but really weren’t (when converted). Food was soso.

We stayed at Trade Winds for 11 days at the beginning of January 2026 and had a wonderful experience, largely due to the outstanding staff.
All the check-in was incredibly friendly and welcoming with a shout out to Kerisa. In the hotel restaurant, Kevin consistently noticed my preferences and accommodated them without being asked, which gave a really personal feel to our dining. Yvette was also extremely pleasant and friendly during every interaction.
Housekeeping was excellent as well—Audrey was friendly and helpful and a pleasure to interact with.
The staff truly made our stay special. We would definitely recommend Trade Winds and would happily stay here again. SC/GC

The stay was really good but the overall service can be better. When dining at the restaurant in the morning, the waitress or staff take a long time to tend to the guests.

I was disappointed that my room was never serviced or cleaned the three days I was there when they advertise daily. The food was hit or miss. Twice my breakfast went back because it was burned on one side. They didn’t have a good amount of the items on the menu. The service for eating averaged almost two hours per meal… way too long. I was alone and there was never more than 8 tables full with two waitstaff. Pool was nice. Sitting area nice. Small quiet hotel. Price was average. All in all it was average to good.

Sometimes it’s nicer to find hotels that aren’t part of massive companies. A sweeter stay — welcoming and warm (thank you, Lissette, Mellisa, and the other really lovely girls on the front desk).
Lovely, large rooms, and full credit to the cleaners who work hard to keep everything spotless.
Is there room for improvement? Always.
But right now, I just want to congratulate the Tradewinds for making our stays as glamorous as advertised, and for giving us truly memorable, scenic experiences.
The Tradewinds is one of those places, with its internal Bay House Restaurant serving up delightful meals and drinks. Many thanks to the very friendly bar staff, working hard to serve those romantic cocktails we usually only dream about while at work. And it’s not just the cocktails — it’s the romantic setting, looking out over Dickenson Bay, where you can pause, stand, and take it all in while you sup.
You don’t get this without the hard work that goes into planning and organising these meals. Thanks to matradee (think was Kevin), and the handsome French chef, and all the girls for serving us so well.
Props also to one of their recommended drivers ( B Local 268, Brandon ) for getting us into the areas booked for excursions.
When you hear about massive storms like Melissa, and the damage they cause to lives and businesses, you begin to appreciate the effort countries go through to make our hard-earned holidays as delightful as the brochures we see online and in magazines.

I liked the view of the sea in the mornings at breakfast. It was very calming. My room had a patio, also with a sea view, that was ideal for yoga. I was able to walk in the mornings on the road by the hotel. There isn’t much traffic so it was safe and convenient. That aside, the staff were amazing and hospitable.

I had a fantastic time here! I cannot talk highly enough about the staff at Trade Winds. In particular, Kerisa B and Malissa made my stay here an incredibly enjoyable experience. They were knowledgeable about activities and local amenities, took the stress out of booking excursions by doing it for me, exceptionally helpful with any questions I had during my stay here, and were genuinely interested to know what I was getting up to each day. As a solo traveller, I was made to feel safe and relaxed my entire time there. Thank you, ladies!

Although we arrived at 7pm our room was not available due to no a/c. We were then being moved to one room but this was then changed. Frustrating after 16 hours of travel. The views are great and the food also is excellent and the staff are very friendly. The room we had was a superior ocean view. It had recently been refurbished but lacked storage for clothing. One small open wardrobe with one drawer was all that was available. Travelling on business with suits and shirts etc and my wife’s dresses this was inadequate. The internet was also poor for working. As a holiday destination I guess this would not matter. Long walk to the beach and all uphill back so would benefit from a shuttle service which we were told is being considered.

The service of all the staff was very pleasant and professional. The staff always had a smile to greet us. They were very accommodating for our dad's 80th birthday party. They made his day very special. We really appreciated what the staff did to make this day a reality.
The rooms and grounds were well kept. We enjoyed our stay to the fullest!
The only disappointment we had was with the local Antiguan breakfast. It was not to our expectation.
I highly recommend Tradewinds when staying in Antigua.

The staff was very attentive, especially Christina and the other security staff (sorry, I don’t remember all their names), and Antonio of maintenance; many thanks to Rana for taking care of the check-in issue; Tohondra the waitress was very professional and sweet. Overall, everyone was friendly and helpful. Corine, banquet manager, I believe, was really great. Unfortunately, one of the waitresses at breakfast on the 17th gave me someone’s left over butter which had bread crumbs in it. It was rather disgusting. She denied it but then said the other butter was “hard.” I just hope she will not do that to another guest.

The room was clean. Staff was pleasant and friendly. The walk to the room was long, did not have staff to assist. Lots of stairs. The heater was not working so all showers were cold. I communicated this to front desk on the first morning. They sent maintenance team. Maintenance advised that they know what has to be done and the problem should be resolved by the time I return. When I returned at 10pm, the water in the shower was still cold. There is no reception after 10pm so I showered with cold water again. When reception starts at 8am, I called and they advised that maintenance will come again. I checked out at 9:30 and maintenance did not arrive. Another morning with a cold shower.

Room was a duplex which got some adjusting to. There are no ceiling fans so use of air conditioning is must, but the small AC unit in the large space meant you would have it running for a while. Upon entering the room, the bathroom reeked of cigarettes' smoke. Brought it to the attention of the hotel staff and by evening upon my return there was no lingering smell. Some fixtures were working - especially the living room light and one of the lamps - did mention to the hotel staff on day 1 but it wasn't fixed and since it didn't bother me much, I never followed up. The place is quite a distance from the nearest restaurant if you don't count the hotel's own dining area. Taxis need to be requested at the hotel reception - but thats standard for most hotels in this area or close to the city. Great hotel otherwise and I will be staying here again.

The rooms are nicely refurbished. Housekeeping staff are great and so is front desk!
The restaurant on the other hand is a different story. There are a few waitresses who clearly don't care about working there or are simply fed up. You will wait forever for your food - so eat snacks before going there.
Apparently the slow/crap service you get at the restaurant is renowned on the island as I was planning on inviting a few clients for supper there and everyone of them opted to go elsewhere due to the lack of service and long wait.
I've stayed there several times there pre-covid and always enjoyed my stay there. But with this new turn of staff at the restaurant - I'll be staying elsewhere.
For the amount they charge at that restaurant, you would think you'd be getting top service...but no. Even other patrons sitting around us noticed and commented the same things of the restaurant.
Too bad cause the food is actually good - but the service is clearly not.

Stunning location, spacious rooms

Really lovely hotel in good location for what we wanted, cricket and beach! Be aware that the sun deck is pretty small with lovely loungers and very few umbrellas. Really nice, spacious rooms with stunning views and a terrace to sit out on. Lovely gardens and in a quiet location, although be aware that it gets very windy due to hilltop location. Food is good, if a little pricey but you’re paying for the view of the sunset! Service is a bit hit and miss, sometimes really good and other times the staff seem to wander off and forget what they’re doing, but all really pleasant and helpful if you give them a few reminders. Just get into the swing of Antiguan time…. 😀
