Further details
Antigua is not only famous for its beaches but for other leisure facilities including fishing, sailing, water skiing, scuba diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, kite surfing, golf, horse riding and tennis.
Antigua has good duty free shopping with rum, spirits, cigars and competitive jewelery stores.
The local supermarkets sell Caribbean, American and well known British branded goods.
There are plenty of banks, petrol stations and places to buy food and other goods on the island.
If you would like your children looked after for a day or more we can recommend a local children's day nursery which is very reasonable and well run, or alternatively we can organise a child carer who can help out during the day or do some baby sitting. We have used both avenues and have been happy with both avenues.
