A visit to Hammock Cove, Antigua

One of the most popular requests I receive when planning a vacation, especially for a couple, is a room with a private pool. I'm thrilled to tell you about a resort I visited in Antigua, where EVERY villa has a private pool. And that's Hammock Cove.

One of the newest resorts on the island, Hammock Cove is an adults-only all-inclusive resort. Each of the 41 villas has a king bed, a luxurious bathroom, and a private plunge pool. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I'll let the photos tell the story of this resort.

Note that this resort is NOT exclusive to couples, so it's perfect for a solo getaway, or a friends' vacation, as long as you're willing to share a king bed!

While all-inclusive resorts can get a bad reputation for food (and some deserve it), Hammock Cove's executive chef is Marco Festini, who has trained with Michelin-starred masters. Meals are a highlight here, and most guests never even take advantage of the ability to visit sister properties for additional dining options.

Finally, here's a video of one villa, taken by my friend Jassy.
