Excellent stay and lovely staff. English harbour is really nice and recommend getting a car to visit other sides of the island
Boom restaurant was good food and Gunpowder suites genuine 10/10 experience
A very nice hotel, to stay for a few days as we did before returning home.
Courteous, helpful and friendly staff
Various dining options and other nearby restaurants
The hotel sits within the UNESCO world heritage site of Nelsons Dockyard which creates such unique experience being surrounded by history and the warm tropical climate one hopes to find. Admirals Inn was very welcoming and comfortable as if it were a home away from home.
Absolutely loved this place. Not only is it very picturesque but it's got that old English charm and is steeped in history with a museum and walking trail to the Fort Berkeley, giving lovely views of the Ocean.
I loved being able to take the boat across to the infinity pool which was divine and to Galleon beach. One can also take Kayaks out for a trip around the harbor.
Fabulous setting in English Harbour. Amazing restaurants are within walking distance. I would definitely stay here again. Boom restaurant serves excellent food.

100% Recommended! Superb stay
First visit to Antigua and chose the Gunpowder Suites/Admirals inn for our stay. I’m so glad we did, the staff are amazing and nothing is too much bother they attend to your every need and more!
We had a lovely, relaxing time at the Admiral's Inn. We loved staying in the historic district! Thoroughly enjoyed interacting with the staff members, particularly Reggie behind the bar. What a personable and interesting man!
