Find Shopping Hotels in St. John's

"The room is big and clean. Surroundings are very nice, two restaurants around. Location is good, close to the airport. It would be nice to provide coffee in the room."

"We booked a two queen room, it was spacious, lots of closet and drawer space. The bathroom was also spacious. Room included a mini fridge, coffee pod machine (good coffee too), and a safe. There was also a balcony over looking the pool. The room was very clean. There is a small beach assigned to the hotel. It was a decent size and enough for the hotel guests. Theres a swim up tiki bar, a little boat will take you there. The restaurant had a reasonable variety of food and drink options. Some of the dishes could have used a little more seasoning or flavor. The mojitos and other drinks were soo good. Staff was very helpful. We came with a large group and they did a great job putting up with the requests. Overall, great experience."

"It was an amazing place! The only thing was people saving beach chairs got annoying, but I don’t know what can be done about that. "

"We stayed for a week here and loved it. For us, the best part was the spectacular view of the sea from our Cove Suite room 2B, we were fairly close to the sea and had an absolutely clear view of it. Watching the sunsets from our balcony was also lovely. We thought the views from any of the 2nd floor rooms in Cove Villa 1, 2 or 3 would be as nice. The Cove suite rooms are lovely, very spacious and comfortable. The 3 beaches are all a little small, but very nice; the sea is quite peaceful, the water is warm and you can walk out quite a ways and still be only chest-deep. As other reviewers have mentioned, sometime hard to find an empty beach chair. All 3 restaurants are good, we would rank Cove as the best one, followed by Palm, followed by Reef. Cove is more of a fine dining experience, while Reef is more beach casual, with Palm somewhere in between. We also had a wonderful dinner (roast pork being the highlight) on the beach one night. You need to reserve tables a few days in advance, specially at the Cove. All of them are situated well in terms of looking out at the water. We were on the all-inclusive plan, but the a la carte prices for the restaurant are not crazily expensive, on our next visit we are not sure whether we will go in for the all-inclusive. The staff here are just wonderful, we would particularly like to thank Derah and Sparkel at the Palm, Kia at different bars and the Cove villa 2 housekeeper. All in all, a lovely relaxing vacation, we will be back!"

"Antigua Village was (I think) the first resort to be built on the island - and theres a good reason why they chose Dickenson Bay. Wonderful sandy beach - now somewhat dominated by the huge Sandals neighboring resort. We did go 19 years ago - before Sandals and it was great. AV is still in great condition and it laid back, fairly basic but clean, tidy and maintained. Studio was OK for space, large patio makes up for the relatively small size. Cleaners were great (every day) and there is a little store there for (inflated) basic supplies. First Choice supermarket is about a mile down the road. Local restaurants ranged from OK to great. Explore the island (by day - as the potholes can be nasty at night!) or just sit on the beach chairs - drink in hand, and relax."

"Beautiful grounds, friendly accommodating staff, no seaweed on beach, very beautiful clean beach, clean room, comfortable bed"

"Loved this resort! Everything was wonderful. Stayed here for six days. We were given a warm welcome when we arrived an immediate access to the facilities. The food was delicious and the views and private beach were wonderful! Special acknowledgment to Delia at the front desk and Lanie the restaurant hostess. The entire staff was very friendly and warm and welcoming. We will definitely be back. We took the all-inclusive package. The drinks were good. Not super strong, but good enough.My only con was that our room didn’t have the greatest water pressure in the shower? It was manageable. They even have an espresso/latte machine in the lobby! We are big New York coffee drinkers so that was a bonus as well. "

"Dickenson Bay Cottages are a great option if you are looking for a clean and quiet location close to the Beach . Christa and her team are first rate, and truly care about your experience. If you are mobility challenged, this might not be your first choice. Having said that, it was a great experience. "

"Extremely peaceful quiet and not crowded. Beautiful accommodations on the beach. Food was fair to good."
