Finding different Antigua Accommodation away from the crowds and the glitzy hotels shouldn't be too much of a problem really, however the real question is always the same, and that is are they safe, clean, and are they on a decent beach. The answer to all three questions is a resounding yes when you come to 3 Martini Bar and Restaurant and Apartments.

It is located on the south west coast of Antigua overlooking one of Antigua's nicest beaches, and is rated the top bed and breakfast accommodation in St John's. 3 Martini Bar and Restaurant and Apartments which has bright yellow and blue colours, a real Caribbean style, has six suites, and this inn is the perfect escape from the large tourist trap hotels, where you could be anywhere in the world.

This has a friendly and very relaxed Caribbean atmosphere about the place and with the beach at Crab Hill just across the road you are in the perfect position for a great Antigua Vacation. The inn is surrounded by a wild tropical garden and it really is the kind of romantic hideaway to bring a lover when you don't want to be found out, especially as few people know about the beach so you are unlikely to be seen by anyone you know!!

3 Martini Bar and Restaurant and Apartments has six spacious apartments all well furnished principally with rattan, and three have small kitchens where you can keep your drinks cool and make little snacks and nibbles. They have a huge King Size Bed, mosquito net, and a private balcony with lovely sea views, and you can watch the sun go down in all its brilliance.

Although 3 Martini Bar and Restaurant and Apartments is primarily a bed and breakfast inn in the best Caribbean tradition it also has a great restaurant and bar offering excellent Italian food and unsurprisingly given its situation fresh seafood specialities, and it has a good reputation in the surrounding area.

You sit on the outside terrace and verandah overlooking the Caribbean. It's closed on a Monday and the views of the sunset whilst eating dinner are very romantic.

So what you have here is almost the perfect Antigua Accommodation. If you need civilisation then you are a five minute drive from the Jolly Beach Resort which has all the facilities you need if you have an unlikely turn and suffer from 21st century resort withdrawal symptoms.

The 3 Martini Bar and Restaurant and Apartments is a place to relax, soak up the sun, catch up on your reading. The owners Godfrey and Diane have made this place a real oasis, and come the evenings there is nothing nicer than a few rum punches, watching the sunset, eating some of their wonderful food, then early bed, because the sun and the beach will leave you pleasantly exhausted. Perhaps you might sit out on your extremely private balcony, and when you go to bed all you will hear is the wonderful combination of sounds of the tropical night interspersed with the sea.

This is real Caribbean style Antigua accommodation and hospitality, and a true quality bed and breakfast inn for your Caribbean vacation.
