📌 TLDR:
Hermitage Bay features only 30 suites but operates with a massive staff of 160, often resulting in an incredible one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio during your stay.
Award-Winning Transformation: The property just wrapped up a stunning $30 million transformation and is the only Antigua resort on the Conde Nast Traveler Gold List.
Seamless Transfers: If you book a stay of at least three or four nights, private round-trip airport transportation is fully included for the 35 to 40-minute drive.
No Buffets Allowed: Unlike mass-market resorts, all dining is a la carte with daily changing menus. High-end options like caviar and a $180 steak are entirely covered in the all-inclusive package.
Guests can even book a premium helicopter lunch over to Nobu Barbuda. Adults-Oriented Privacy: The property caters strictly to adults and older teens; no guests under the age of 13 are permitted, and teenagers aged 14–16 incur a $400 nightly surcharge and must room with an adult.
The Hillside Hike: The Hillside Pool Villas offer spectacular infinity views and unmatched privacy, but the hill is incredibly steep. Golf cart service is available, but it is a serious hike for anyone with mobility challenges.
Indoor-Outdoor Design: Rooms feature a rustic luxury aesthetic with massive indoor bathtubs, though it is worth noting that the only shower in the suite is located outdoors.
Secluded Beach Paradise: The beach is highly uncrowded, beautifully spaced out, and includes all non-motorized water sports like kayaking and floating mats. However, the water drops off to chest-deep quite close to the shore.

http://www.travelbrospod.com/bookwithus In this jam-packed "quick hits" episode, we are breaking down the absolute best luxury travel updates, value hacks, and exclusive promos you need to know for the summer season.

Plus, we share insane insider deals at Baha Mar, Park Hyatt Cabo, and Evermore Orlando, followed by a massive global roundup of upcoming hotel openings from London and Venice to... rural Pennsylvania? Stick around until the end as we officially debunk the childhood mystery of the Bermuda Triangle!
