Ellen Bay Inn

Great place to stay here. Very nice family !

Ellen Bay Inn was an excellent place for us to stay during our 5-night vacation in Antigua. This family run inn staff treated us like extended family. They picked us up from the airport, arranged for a rental car, provided most of our meals, guided us on places to see and made sure that we enjoyed every moment of our stay. The location is a bit remote and a rental car is recommended. There are no elevators for those challenged with mobility. But the rooms are very clean and there are great views of the bay from the rooms as well as some common areas. The grounds are also very well maintained. A key Antigua tourist attraction - Stingray City - is barely a 5-minute walk from the inn. I strongly recommend this inn to anyone who wants to get a feel for the local hospitality. We are looking forward to our next trip back here in due course of time.

Nothing fancy but peaceful. I wanted a quiet out of the hustle and bustle place to stay and got exactly that. Seatons village is a bit run down with a shop and restaurant/take away/bar 5 mins walk from the Ellen Bay Inn. There was no cafe/restaurant facility at the Inn at the time I was there, although the kitchen and room for it are there. A car is a must to get anywhere, once I had a car I was out and about every day, exploring the island and the beaches and several attractions. Stingray City and the giant tortoise island are a couple of minutes walk from the Ellen Bay Inn and Betties Hope plantation museum a 5 minute drive. The nearest and really nice beach is at Long Bay about 10 minutes drive away, through Willikies Village. The ice cream shop in Willikies on the way to the beach is worth a stop. There is a great Italian restaurant at the beach and a drink/ice cream kiosk and some little beach front market huts…. Also selling beer and snacks and soft drinks. They do boat trips from Long Bay too and you can hire a kayak type boat. Breakfast at Ellen Bay Inn was very basic and simple with limited choice, if any , on some days. The room was clean and tidy with a decent bathroom a fridge and Roku internet TV, where you can sign in to the likes of Amazon Prime and Netflix and Disney. There was free WiFi, which was good enough for what I needed. The bed was OK. although there was no chair in the room. Aircon is included, a little noisy though.. Got what I paid for. I relaxed for the week.

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.

This is a nice local place to stay. The staff is adorable!

if you plan to visit stingray city, then. I'd suggest staying at this property. super convenient, super nice staff, reasonably priced and good food.
