heychadwick Posted October 23, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I agree! I've made a coupel of posts, but haven't heard anything. Something not too crowded, but at least has a taxi that we would be able to get back to the cruise ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachbum1944 Posted October 23, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hawksbill Resort would be a great choice. It's only about 10 min. away, and I think we paid $6 each to get there. They have 4 beaches there. The last one is a CO beach. The property is beautiful. They have an all-inclusive plan or you can just go and use the beach (rent chairs).

Thanks!!!!!:eek: I hae not been to Hawksbill but i have heard good things about it - the next time we are in Antigua, we may go there. I have been to Dickenson Bay and Long Bay. We found Dickenson Bay a bit too busy for us and did not find any snorkeling there. We liked Long Bay - quieter, OK snorkeling, loungers for rent - however it is further from the docks than Dickenson Bay or Hawksbill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadoll Posted October 24, 2007 #5 Share Posted October 24, 2007 We were in Antigua on Friday, October 19th. Not sure where you're docking, but we were on the Destiny. We had 9 in our group and a cab ride was $3pp to Runaway. They have a nice little beach bar and restrooms that were clean. When we asked which beach we should go to he made a point of saying that the party beach was Dickenson Bay. We wanted something a bit quieter- it had been a busy week so we chose Runaway. We rented a jet ski for $40 per 1/2 hour. There were horses you could ride- I think the price was $25 for 45 minutes. 2 chairs with an umbrella were $15. We arranged with our cab driver to pick us back up for $3 pp to the dock and he was right on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
