If so, which did you like better and why? Personally, for something that’s very special, qwerty and not available anywhere else, then it has to be a Rock Pool Day at Sheer Rocks, with the little extras that raise the experience to the next level. The food, drinks and service are excellent at both SR and Catherine’s (being part of the same company), but the views from SR take a lot of beating. There is no beach at SR SR also offers a Day Pass for a sun bed by the communal pool, with the spectacular views, plus the same excellent service, food and drinks If seeking a “Beach Day”, with excellent food/drinks/service, well away from S.H.T. in Antigua, then the recommendation has to be Catherine’s Cafe. Book early at both as space is deliberately limited. Check out their respective webs and TripAdvisor to then make an informed decision.

PORT ROYAL Posted October 19, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Addendum The Rock Pool Day recommended is the one for sold for “Couples”. There are excellent alternatives at a lower price point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserMickey Posted October 19, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted October 19, 2023 @PORT ROYAL Is there “rush hour” traffic getting back from Catherine’s Cafe? Both restaurants look amazing, and trying to figure out if it is worth going further to a beach, or closer to a pool/view. I wish we had two days in Antigua so I could do both! We are in port from 9:00am-5:00 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiserMickey Posted October 19, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Thank you for all your help, @PORT ROYAL! I just contacted Sheer Rocks and they only allow daybe use from 11:45 onward, so I think we will stick with Catherine’s Cafe since they will allow us to go in at 10am.

WisCruiser2 Posted October 22, 2023 #7 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Is there a charge for lounger use at Catherine's? I looked at their website and couldn't find anything about that, just menus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book one’s lunch/drinks/day in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WisCruiser2 Posted October 23, 2023 #10 Share Posted October 23, 2023 @PORT ROYAL looks like that's a "summer special." We'll be going in February, so will just make a reservation if we decide to go there. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked with them a few days ago to confirm our reservation and got this info. We have daybeds booked, but will just order off the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
