Gunpowder House & Suites

Positives: Good location at English Harbour Nice gardens and pool area The suite we had was more than big enough for the 3 of us. The room itself is a nice space. Negatives: Expensive and represents very poor value for money. We only stayed one night thankfully. Nobody there to meet you when you check in so onus is on the customer to find a member of staff or call them on the number provided. Couldn’t get to breakfast - we were told there was a boat to take us across but no boat arrived. We then had to drive around to get to the breakfast location. They also charged us for a bottle of Aqua Pana at breakfast when my daughter only wanted a small glass. We ate at Pillars for dinner which was extremely uninspiring. The spare ribs were as tough as old boots. The meal cost around $85 for three main courses and two drinks. The A/C in the bedroom was ineffective and the screen was broken so you were unable to see what settings it was on. The bed sheets were old and a long way from white. The towels were slightly better but only big enough for a hobbit. The shower unit was simply a piece of glass, but given how weak the water was I guess this was just about adequate. Overall, I just can’t understand why there are so many positive reviews on this place. Even by Antigua standards it is way overpriced.
