| | | | Review by Brendan McKenna from Sligo Ireland
With the exception of Castaways , the service in the other restaraunts was below expected levels . Security staff were very pleasant and professional ; At times felt a little intimidated by the less than friendly approach from some of the native residents , surly and did not respond to greetings ,
Rental Office Staff were very professional and helpful .
Taxi drivers , were for the most part extemely pleasent .
Review by Lorraine Fowler from Bristol
Jolly Harbour is a gated resort on the south west of the island; you can easily walk from villas on the South Finger to Jolly Beach and either walk to the supermarket and commercial centre (which I did) or hire a golf cart to get around the complex (about 20 USD a day). There is a swiming pool and golf course (which I didn't visit) as well as several restaurants, including Castaways, a beach bar and restaurant situated on Jolly Beach. Jolly Harbour also has a gift shop, pharmacy, off licence and car hire as well as the supermarket, so everything you need as a basis for your holiday is here. The beach has several 'souvenir' stalls where you can buy sarongs, shells and locally made jewellery, in addition to the beach vendors who come round with their wares. Trips to St Johns, the capital. where you can find duty free shops as well as many more souvenirs can be made either by taxi or local bus.
Review by member Cuttica from Ealing, London
Jolly Harbour was a fantastic place to stay. It centers around a scenic harbour that houses lots of beautiful boats and is also lucky enough to boast Jolly Beach as it's own. The beach is amazing and its view of Monserrat and the sunsets are breathtaking, especially with a Rum Punch in hand!
The harbour itself has 3 restaurants which were all fabulous although Melini's was our favorite with its pretty fairy lights twinkling after the sun had gone down. And there are a number of shops...including a cafe, an internet cafe, 2 banks, a home ware store with lots of unique & affordable pieces (we bought a few things here) and a few others.
Next door is the Jolly Beach Resort which offers day passes to anyone who wants them. We tried it and thought it was a waste of money. Yes, food & drink is included but personally with its own swimming pool and the same beach, we felt that Jolly Harbour made a much better holiday destination.

Everything you need for a great holiday in one complex.
Review by Joe Hughes from Egham
Not suitable for the 18-30 crowd - thank God! Plenty of variety of pub/restaurants and a very well stocked supermarket if you want to self-cater. Very friendly staff and security posts manned 24 hours. Beautiful beach with a handy little beach bar/cafe. Some extra building and development taking place - it is lovely as it is, I hope that they do not spoil it. Local bus offers frequent travel to St Johns for about £1 each way and the journey is well worth the experience.

Review by Robert Walker from Salisbury
Jolly harbour is a pleasant, safe and rather quiet area that provides the essentials for a relaxing beach holiday. It has a number of restaurants and bars around the marina, a pool and a nice beach. There are also some shops, a bank a supermarket and casino.
Review by Gary Davies from Ramsgate
I have travelled all over the world and met all sorts of people but never before have I been so relaxed and made so welcome.
My thought throughout was if I.ve died and gone to heaven please dont wake me up
Review by Sharon Barbour from Harlow, Essex
I stayed at Jolly Harbour Villa, which has to be the most wonderful place to stay, off course going for the fourth time now, nothing else competes with it on the island.
The atmosphere and people are great, you feel very safe, and there is always someone willing to help, converse, and tell you the best places to see.
The best thing about being there is the fact that there are still people there who were around when i first visited almost 10 years ago, which goes to prove that it is a great place to stay and work.
