Antilles Point Pleasant Resort
Information & Amenities
Amenity highlights: Two beaches face the calm Caribbean waters. Sugar Beach, a small gem, is secluded at the end of a path along the cliffside. Pineapple Beach is a sandy, 250-yard stretch at the end of a short waterfront path. Three freshwater pools await at the beachfront, middle, and hilltop levels. Use of snorkeling gear, windsurfers, and kayaks is complimentary. The resort's acclaimed Agave Terrace restaurant showcases fresh seafood, complemented by inspiring views. The casual Fungi's on the Beach stands at water's edge.
Insider tip: Guests can walk a half-mile around the bay to the Coral World Ocean Park, which has an underwater observation tower; interactive feedings of sharks, stingrays, and turtles; helmet dives; snorkeling; and parasailing.
