Facilities

Restaurants and Bars:

Bayside Bayside is a buffet of international favourites by day and transforms into a French-Italian venue by night. No matter when you stop by, the sea views are always on the menu. Savour every bite as sailboats drift past in a breezy, open-air setting that feels like paradise (and tastes like it, too).

Mario's Italian gastronomy is made up of 21 diverse regional cuisines. Mario's draws its cooking style from the beautiful region of Lombardia, where E.A.. Mario, grandfather to the restaurant's first authentic Italian chef, was born to a family of humble means. Growing up in a family of six in a small apartment behind his father's barbershop, everyone in his family needed to pull their weight to get by. Mario was in charge of preparing dinner and his delicious dishes would bring his whole family together every night. Mario instilled that same sense of passion for his love of food and family into his children and grandchildren.

Eleanor's Representing the best in the rich, flavourful fare that the Caribbean is known for, guests also come to Eleanor's to relax and enjoy the beauty of the ocean vistas. However, the best of Eleanor's is found in the unique dishes and culinary touches the chefs employ here. Eleanor's is named after 18th century Scottish noblewoman, Lady Eleanor MacDougal, who sailed to the Caribbean in search of a new life after a fall from grace in her homeland. Eleanor first landed in Antigua and slowly made her way through the Caribbean islands, picking up work as a cook and seamstress as she moved from place to place. Along the way, she wrote down the recipes she learned from local cooks in her journal. Eventually, she made her way to Jamaica, where she caught the eye of a local sugar cane plantation owner who courted and eventually married her.

Barefoot By The Sea The sandy pathways of Barefoot by the sea add to the ambiance of this charming seaside restaurant. Located along Antigua's famed Dickenson Bay, Barefoot is one of the few establishments you can actually show up... barefoot, digging your toes into the fluffy, white sand while enjoying delectable seafood. With the sparkling sea just steps away and spectacular vistas of the bay, cool sea breezes abound. The cuisine here is just as enticing as the charming, Caribbean vibe, presenting distinctive seafood recipes and Antiguan favourites full of savoury fervour. Antiguan Crab Cake, Beef & Shrimp, Seafood Pasta, and Caribbean Lobster Thermidor - sautéed chunks of lobster tail with cream sauce, broiled with cheese and served with mashed potatoes and vegetables - are just a few of the tantalising options that grace Barefoot's palatable menu.

The Druken Duck Drunken Duck - home to rustic, saloon - like décor and lively bartenders - is a great place to completely relax and enjoy customary pub fare. Offering Shepherd's Pie, Fish and Chips, Bangers and Mash, and more, scrumptious pub food can be paigold with a wide range of beers, wines, spirits, and soft drinks. Inviting, with cosy seating for two or for your whole group, it's hard to leave this place. It was the pub that first introduced the concept of the bar counter being used to serve beer. This 'pie and pint' pub however, brings a whole new meaning to pub life by offering a wide selection of refreshing ales including Guinness and Newcastle Brown ale, as well as time-honoured pub fare and delectable desserts all within the beautiful setting of Antigua's enchanting joie de vivre.

Kimonos You never know what new tricks and treats the chefs have up their sleeves, possibly juggling cooking utensils, flipping a shrimp tail into their shirt pocket, or catching a shiitake mushroom in their hat. Choose from entrees that incorporate teriyaki beef, ginger-infused chicken breast, and peppery shrimp or enjoy palatable salad, soups, or beef gyozas. The unparalleled views of the surrounding Caribbean sea are enhanced by the appetising flavours of this place. There will be live entertainment and the perfect balance of liveliness and serenity enjoyed at Kimonos. But more than that, there will be a cuisine of a most magical restaurant where eating is only half the fun.

OK Corral Perched over the famed Dickenson Bay, this Tex-Mex restaurant has the perfect combination of hospitality and good mood food. With one of the best Red Bean Chili Soups west of El Paso, and tasty steaks prepared in the spirit of the true south, you'll find every main dish is served with corn on the cob, baked potato or dirty rice, coleslaw, and baked beans. Southwestern fajitas and some of the sweetest treats inspired by the southern territories of the United States also grace the palatable menu. It's easy to find at least one thing here that everyone can enjoy.

Soy Sushi Bar Sample delicacies like the Orange Blossom, a guest favourite with tuna, crabmeat, and avocado rolled with salmon and topped with Tobiko, mango sauce and unagi sauce. The bar area is popular with groups, while the intimate booths create the perfect setting for a romantic evening for two. With a style as diversified as the inspiring sushi menu, the chefs at Soy are eager to present guests with the varying flavours of the Far East. They share that elegantly balanced essence through their splendid selection of daily specials, soups, sushi, sashimi, and sake.

Bella Napoli Pizzera On the surface, Bella Napoli may look like a traditional pizza place but upon closer examination, the pizza variety offered here reveals itself to be extremely unique with flavour contrasts that are sure to whet the palate of pizza lovers from around the world. Made-to-order pizza combinations range from the traditional margherita to the Calabrese and Hawaiian pizzas, all made with the same long-leavening, high-quality dough. With so many toppings to choose from, this place stays abuzz with guests vying for the opportunity to try every single pizza combination on the menu... and make up a few of their own.

Café De Paris At Café de Paris, the social pulse of Dickenson Bay. Flowers, bright colours, and lovely patio furniture with umbrellas adorn the outside of the café. But the chic décor and romantic ambience aren't the only things to savour at this superb café. On most mornings, there is a cool breeze in the air, making enjoying a macadamia, amaretto, hazelnut, chocolate, vanilla, or raspberry hot or chilled latte all the more sweeter. Well into the afternoon, delighting in chocolate cream puffs, crème brûlée tarts, cake, cookies and more, is enchanting.
