    The dinner hostess at pillars is argumentative. The inability to distinguish room sizes and facility based on pictures and current description. The lack of transportation to restaurants off site unless you rent a car u need to go by taxi.. several suites have a steep incline to walk for access..if you are disabled or elderly this is not a facility to go to the paths are rocky and have lots of steps. And boat transport between the inn and the suites is not disability friendly. I also missed not having regional cuisine offered at the restaurants. I wasn't there for Thai and italian. It's a fun quirky place but has its limitations.

    The suites are very nice and have more to offer than the rooms at the inn. The rooms in the inn are quite small( pictured) as are the bathrooms w no place for your tolietries ( pedestal sink no shower niche or hanger for soap shampoo) other than top of toilet or the bed which is only a few feet away. The inn rooms all involve climbing stairs. No elevator. It's difficult to tell when booking where your going to be as they dont specify in the booking listing if you want to stay at the inn or the suites. We changed rooms to a suite at a significant expense. This review is based on our room at the inn. We learned if you want a suite you need to book a garden view and a deluxe or superior suite..water or marina views are from the inn. Your better off calling direct. The suites are larger more expensive but have fridges and larger closets larger bathrooms w vanities and a seating area. No television's or phones in any rooms. The pictures are misleading.. The facility has two restaurants one is very good the other is hit and miss..the majority of the staff is lovely hard working and accomodating.

    Minor point room could have had a bit more natural light

    Staff were the best we have ever come across - a feeling of real engagement with customers and great use of sassy Antiguan humour

    Absolutely nothing

    Absolute stunning hotel - everything was perfect from the size & cleanliness of the room (gunpowder suite) to the friendliness of the staff. We loved waking up overlooking the harbour & many hours relaxing by the pool. If you are thinking of staying at the Admiral's Inn don't hesitate you won't be disappointed.

    Checked out at 5 in morning. Had checked with reception at least 3 times that someone would be at gate to let in taxi but no one was at gate and we struggled to get out

    Loved taking boat from gunpowder suites to breakfast. Loved the historical part of Antigua.Pool and view were incredible

    We chose a room that was very small, and a little stuffy but was fine once we aired it.

    Beautiful location overlooking the harbour and boats. The pool is in a wonderful location, and the food at Boom was delicious, and able to accommodate dietary restrictions too. Lovely to be able to get the boat to the beach too.

    An excellent boutique hotel in a unique location. The best place to stay in Antigua!

    The location of this property is unique in the fact that it is located in Nelson's Dockyard with wonderful surrounding areas. Amazing boats in the harbour to watch and you really felt like you were in a key historical location. We did not realise before we arrived that there was a boat to take you to the swimming pool and Boom restaurant which again was a novel and fun experience - although you can walk if you wanted to. For anyone who likes boutique hotels you will not be disappointed. Both restaurants were excellent too - Pillars and Boom. The staff in all departments were a credit to the hotel.
