Without doubt one of Antigua's finest beaches Dickenson Bay is also home to the famous Sandals & Rex Halcyon resorts where you can sample pay as you go access to the varied restaurants, bars and entertainment of these expensive hotels, whilst maintaining the privacy and freedom of choice of your own luxury accommodation at a fraction of the cost.

Guests will be pleased to know that beach trading is strictly monitored and is restricted to just a few carefully selected local craftsmen aimed at enhancing your holiday experience.
In the evenings watch the sunset on your south facing private patio - probably the least overlooked on the whole resort - or simply walk glass of wine in hand a few steps to the beach to soak up the beautiful surroundings. Enjoy a gentle stroll through the lush tropical gardens for a romantic meal in either of the 2 beachfront restaurants that adjoin the resort at either end or make the short moonlight walk along the beach to explore several more restaurants as well as a casino within easy reach.
For the more adventurous there is a whole host of fun packed excursions that include swim with dolphins, horse riding, jeep safari, yacht charters, helicopter tours and even a rainforest canopy tour which consists of rope bridges and zip wires!

Dickenson Bay holiday apartment reviews
Sarah says: "Just as described the standard of furnishings in our apartment were second to none and the view from the balcony of the Caribbean were just breathtaking. This property advertises walking glass in hand to the beach and we did indeed do just that most evenings to enjoy the sunset.
The Antigua Village staff in general are lovely friendly people and the reception area in the resort was more than helpful. They have information on just about anything you could wish to do...eating, drinking, car hire, sailing, snorkelling, day trips, swim with dolphins - you get the idea - even an aromatherapy/massage service & no we didn't try it!
If we could offer any holiday tips we would have to recommend the Lobster Shack restaurant which offers a free taxi service there & back from the resort (just pre book at reception). It is only a few minutes away and the food and service was as good as we had on the island. If you are feeling lazy there is another beachfront restaurant called The Coconut Grove, not quite as good but literally on your doorstep and handy for breakfast. Also worth trying are the island catamaran tour which collects opposite sandals.
The shop in the resort will happily get you by for day to day provisions but if you intend to self cater and cook evening meals etc, as we did, I would suggest (for approx £10.00 return) a taxi to the Epicurean supermarket at the Woods Centre. Easily on a par with supermarkets back home except the wine and spirits are significantly cheaper!
During our stay we made a few friends and spent a little time in some other units - safe to say ours was easily one of the nicest and we now have competition if we decide to book again next year.
In summary if you are looking for that extra bit of luxury in a paradise setting I would certainly recommend this apartment - it certainly lived up to our expectations and we are very grateful to the owners for all their help and advice beforehand as it provided a lovely holiday.
