| HOTEL DESCRIPTION |
For over 45 years, Curtain Bluff has welcomed guests to Antigua. American owners Howard and Michelle Hulford still have a presence here, with the resort being managed professionally for years by Rob Sherman and Cal Roberts. The hotel’s ‘no key’ approach reflects the trust placed in their long-serving staff and many repeat guests. Fifteen acres of beach and gardens create spectacular vistas for the fully inclusive 72 rooms and suites scattered up the bluff, where cooling sea breezes render air conditioning unnecessary even though the amenity is available. The spacious Junior Suites have marble bathrooms and sunken living rooms, and are situated on the resort’s surf beach (a second beach offers calmer waters for water sports). The luxurious Morris Bay and Grace Bay Suites feature extra touches of indulgence such as four poster beds and balcony Jacuzzis. The roomy accommodation is ideal for families, and both children and adults will find plenty to keep them amused here. Each May, Curtain Bluff hosts Antigua Tennis Week. Four floodlit courts and three resident pros will help improve your own game, or there’s squash, yoga, swimming in the 75 foot pool, croquet and a full range of motorized and non-motorized water sports. Renew your energy at the weekly beach luncheon (complete with steel band) or in the main restaurant, accompanied by a bottle from the prodigious wine cellar – only 450 different vintages to choose from! |

There are no televisions but guests are invited to use Curtain Bluff's Television Room. A very highly guarded, mutual respect has been cultivated between the people of the Old Road Village and Curtain Bluff. For this reason room keys are not needed. However, doors may be locked from the inside and each room is equipped with an in-room safe for guest convenience. Howard and Chelle Hulford's private home at the top of the bluff also serves as the location for weddings. The Hulfords welcome all Curtain Bluff guests into their home for a weekly cocktail party. Electricity: 110 volts / 60 cycles (same as in North America)
