Pineapple Beach Club - All Inclusive

Hello Pineapple Beach Club. Finally have a moment to drop a line on our stay at the Resort from June 1 to June 10 of this year. It was fabulous, the hotel &amenities were very good, the food was very good with many choices to pick from. As for the Staff, they are beyond excellent. The following people should be commended for their above excellent courtesy & service . They are Ronnett, I cant say enough about Ronnett her kindness & friendship are beyond any words that we can express, Supervisor Nicole & Ishena extremely kind at breakfast, Jo-Ann who makes fantastic Omelets, Annetta kept my caffine going in the evening, Supervisor Monetta very accommodating & helpful. Kevonte keep the food flowing & hot. Tricia very courtesy & entertaining. Anderson a super nice young fellow who is always there to help. Lastly, Denie he is the beach ambassador super nice young fellow. because of these fine people, they are the reason that my wife and friends will be back staying at the Pineapple Beach Club. They are the true backbone of your Resort. I do hope that they all return after your renovations are complete. Please do not hesitate to contact me if needed.

2 weeks in July, fantastic resort, friendly staff, awesome food, so why the 4 stars and not 5? Let me explain… When I go on holiday, I become a beach dweller, I want to switch-off, no targets, no appointments, no schedules. A bit of diving, Sun, Sea & Sand (and few drinks). I don’t need the likes of “G-Man” and his band of merry men, to hassle me for money, every single day for 2 weeks! Explained to him on day-one (they go for pale-skinned tourists, fresh out of the plane), “Look, I know what your are selling, should I wish to purchase something from you, I’ll come to you, not you to me!” Then he started telling us, how the “official” shop on the resort, would send money to Miami, if we were to buy a tour from him, the money would stay in Antigua; Sure, I can symphatise with that, but as a Sales Strategy? Wrong… Just wrong. We obviously, ended up doing a couple of tours out of the resort (not with him). Went SCUBA Diving (not with him), went around the island (not with him). The last couple of days, he had the guts to challenge my “Antiguan experience” - “What are you telling your friends when you go home? That you spent 2 weeks on a beach?” (we didn’t) but even if we did, what’s it to you, what’s your problem?! Have YOU paid for my holiday?! The hotel it’s All-inclusive, so food is aplenty, he gets guests that he befriends to go and get him burgers and drinks, everyday. No. 9k all-inclusive, does not includes for your lunch my friend. Stay clear of this man, he’s a nuisance and he should be removed from the beach, but I have a funny feeling, the hotel it’s in a cut from the tours he sells. That’s why 4 Stars, and not 5, and that is also why I wouldn’t go back.

We booked in March for our upcoming thirtieth wedding anniversary on July 8. I wanted a small hotel with good snorkeling possibilities right off the beach. I started getting very excited and wanted to find out everything I could about the resort. Tripadvisor and YouTube were my places to scout. I found: Monday - Managers Cocktail Party Tuesday - Karaoke Wednesday - Garden Dinner / White Party Thursday - Mexican Night Friday - Beach Buffett / Mini Carnival Saturday - DJ I was most looking forward to the Garden Dinner and Beach Buffett Mini Carnival. We set off on July 5 at 4:00 AM after our flights with layovers we arrived at 6:20 PM. Our traveling day from Hell was finally over. We checked in our room set off to find something to eat and head off to bed. I thought it was strange to be in a hotel room with no windows. You heard me right NO WINDOWs - not in the room or bathroom, none. We were only located 10 steps from the quiet pool with the Tickled Turtle Bar. OK we take the good with the bad. When we got up the next morning headed to the Beach to claim a spot and find some breakfast. The Topaz Restaurant had a nice selection of foods, hot and tasty. for even the pickiest eater. The problem was the open-air restaurant was like eating in a bird sanctuary. Birds flying every which way trying to steal your food and let's not forget the "droppings" everywhere. We headed to the beach to check out the snorkeling, The beach is beautiful with gorgeous blue water. It felt like I stepped into a picture. While snorkeling I saw a lot of beautiful fish including trunk, parrot, and tangs while finding most of the coral to be bleached and dying. Water clarity was not good until you reached the reef that is just inside the open end of the bay. The next morning, I went to make reservations and found out that most of the nightly entertainment had been reduced to soundtracks with a singer. No Beach Buffett, no Mini Carnival, no steel drum bands. When I asked the reason, I was told "This is our off season and very low capacity of guests." I also then asked the hours and days of the Tickled Turtle Bar that was near to our room and again was told it is closed during the off season. To make this long story short and try to focus on the positives: We loved the Cafe' 1761 Coffee Shop and couldn't get enough of the Outhouse Restaurant up on the hill. Also booked an outing with Mr. G & Marvin to Stingray City I LOVED THAT! Every time I walked past the turtle enclosure, I took the time to stop and chat with the little guys and wish them a good day.

when ever i book a holiday i always read the reviews, but have never written one until now! we stayed in june for 11 nights, we wish we could of stayed longer, all the staff were friendly. The restaurants were good the buffet restaurant had lots of choice and they varied the menu,the roast meats were good. The coffee shop was a great addition it opens at 6.30am with a varied drinks menu, and a selection of cakes ,sandwiches and fresh fruit pots.the grounds were pristine, our room was beach front which was even better than we could of imagined. The beach was clean lovely white sand clear warm waters, like previous reviews sun beds werent an issue. weve stayed at a few carribean hotels we enjoyed our stay here and we would like to return because it was small friendly, clean, and very relaxing due to the thought that has been put into the guests overall stay with the nightly entertainment different pool areas seating areas coffee shop. Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful stay and lasting memories.

Check in was via a QR code which was a bit confusing and it was slightly disappointing our room was not ready until a couple of hours after we arrived, but once we were in our room we were instantly on holiday. Our room was everything we wanted it to be. It was spacious, air conditioned, and literally steps from the beach. At night we sat on our porch with drinks in hand listening to the sea. There was plenty of storage space, the bed was big and very comfortable and the pillows were just right. The shower was superb. Room towels were renewed every other day and bottled water was provided. The only suggestion we have would be to change the toilet door to a solid door in lieu of a louvred one to provide more privacy. The majority, say 95%, of the resort staff were extremely friendly, polite, helpful and great fun and went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. A few staff members were a bit grumpy, but that's always going to be the case. The resort is exceptionally clean and very well maintained. Staff work hard to keep things at a high standard. The beach was beautiful and the sea was crystal clear and there wasn't any sargassum. There are three pools and they are all very well looked after. There was no shortage of sunbeds on the beach or at the pools and there were towels available at the various storage points. We booked reservations at the Pineapple Grill and at Chef Pietro's but much preferred the Topaz buffet where the choices were varied and plentiful. The food was never piping hot (including at the a la carte restaurants), but that was partly due to guests not closing the lids on the food containers. The nightly entertainment was good fun and enjoyable with great effort made by staff to provide a variety of different things. We went on two trips, a private island tour and to the Shirley Heights sunset party, both were very reasonably priced, interesting and provided good experiences.

I wanted to getaway and celebrate my birthday at a resort which was adults only. So, I researched and found the Pineapple Beach Club in Antigua. I'm so glad that I did!! My wife and I had a WONDERFUL time! First and foremost, the staff was EXCELLENT (special shout-out to Vincent, who helped us relocate to another room due to the view!!). Everyone was friendly, customer-service focused, and more like a family than staff! They made sure that my birthday was a special memory . . . and it was! At PBC, they work hard to make sure that the customer is happy by planning daily activities (make sure that you take the roughly 30 minute tour when you get there!!) and encouraging involvement. The musical entertainments were fun! We also met some other couples who added to the fun. The FOOD was top notch! The Topaz is the general restaurant, which is covered, open-air seating. Just beware of the black birds and seagulls! Beyond that, the view while eating is great. The Pineapple Grill, Chef Pietro, and the Orchid (the Orchid requires an upcharge) are reservation only. Do that when you first get there!! My wife also purchased birthday dinner at the gazebo on the top of the hill. The food was great and our server, Yolanda, made sure that we were served well! Overall, high recommendations for Pineapple Beach Club and staff (Anita, Anika, and SO many more! We would not hesitate to go back again! Pineapple Beach Club is not just a resort, but almost a family! not hesitate to go back again! Pineapple Beach Club is not just a resort, but almost a family!
