Hotels Near Seventh-Day Adventist Church Parham in Osbourn

1. Resort is beautiful. HOWEVER, they are still building the over water bungalows which was pretty noisy. Also, they are NOT ocean conscience and plastic bags were constantly dropped in the ocean. 2. Not a snorkeling resort. If you want to snorkel, you need to do an excursion. 3. The resort is NOTHING like the trailer. The only thing ever happening at the pool was LOUD LOUD music. No themed parties or anything that is advertised on their website. (And we were disappointed by that). 4. Entertainment is weather dependent so the first two nights the entertainment was cancelled because of rain. It’s an open air theater. Given the amount of rain, they should really figure this out. The nights we had entertainment, we enjoyed. 5. Food was good! We are not “foodies” – everything was acceptable. 6. The people ARE NOT Jamaicans. They are very reserved but have a lot of fun with each other. However, a 30 second google search told me that they are VERY RESERVED. If you want a fun-loving, joking kind of experience, Antigua is not for you. Their manner did not bother us but I can see how others might be offended when they laugh and joke with each other and just serve you. 7. Cell phones for the staff is a problem. It is annoying to have to wait on them to finish face-timing. They are on their phones frequently. 8. Service on the beach is spotty. 9. This resort lacks “the personal touch.” At other resorts, our beach chairs have been made up, they know what we like to drink, they learn our names, etc. There was none of that at this resort. I think that is probably what we missed the most. A personal touch goes a long way. If they saw us making up our beach chairs- they would just let us. I don’t think we ever had anything “done” for us the entire time we were there. 10. The highlight was definitely being serenaded on our Anniversary at the over water restaurant. That was the only thing that we felt like was “above and beyond.” It was very nice. Shout Outs to the following staff: Ranje/Shakida/Esry/Damian: Diamond Club Bar Estella: Taboo Bar Shandell/Monique: Butlers for Diamond Club Jade: Diamond Club Check In Oneka: Hunter's Steakhouse (ONE OF OUR VERY FAVES. We went back and had dinner 2x to see her) Olympus Staff at Breakfast: ALL were amazing and they rotated - so too many to name Pescari Staff: Aug 1 Anniversary Serenade. We did not get names, but they were FABULOUS. Ajarnie: was our ”personal photograher” :-) He was always available to take a pic when we asked

It should feel okay, it’s been too long, have you forgotten the feeling?

I first visited Hodges on Honeymoon in April 2021 and went back asap (June 2021) for a girls trip which was repeated again this summer. If you are reconnecting with your SO or having an Eat Pray Love moment, Hodges is waiting for you. Take the time to indulge, heal, and adventure all in one location. Private bars, beach, infinity pool, new seaside hot tub, and the most perfect photo ops right on resort without the feel, look, or impression of a large resort. I really enjoyed yoga on my private deck with the sunrise, and never had an empty glass or plate (unless by choice lol). Check out the spa, private island/bar at Prickly Pear, or Fix your Life exchanging stories at Drift the pool side bar, there is usually an opportunity to fall into a dance party when you ready. Antigua and Hodges is like coming home. If you haven't been, its time to Fix your Life ;)
