Lovely, popular hotel with a residential feel, mimicking colonial street architecture. Pastel colours and a large tropical courtyard with fountains and a pool complete the scene.

The lovely, popular Villa Colonial is on a quiet, tree-lined street, within easy walking distance of Antigua's main square.

True to its name, the building lies behind a colonial façade, centred on a large tropical courtyard garden with fountains. The buildings are attractively painted in soft pastel colours, and it feels like staying in a peaceful village within a town - part of the hotel is designed to look like a colonial street with rooms on either side.

Set on two floors, the simply decorated rooms have tiled floors, private bathrooms and either a shared balcony or patio. The hotel has a pleasant restaurant, a bar and a swimming pool in the large garden.

What our clients say

  • Good hotel good food but too far out of town.

    NK, Beaconsfield
  • "Desk staff could use a bit more charm. Breakfast very disappointing (the worst of the trip), but a lovely ambiance and room very good indeed."

    CS, Richmond
  • "Very nice but not suitable for the rainy season as the public areas (lobby and restaurant) are open-sided and consequently very cold and we ended up wearing fleeces/coats to eat…

    MT, UAE

Our Expert's Opinion

There are narrow alleyways between villas leading to the street which made the hotel feel more residential and in keeping with neighbouring buildings.
