Why Travelers Love The Nest
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
4.3 / 5.0(600 reviews)
The food was fantastic and the view was amazing. You can encounter a variety of tourists and travelers here, however, most of the days you can find yourself in a quiet setting with tiki music playing in the background, inviting a tranquil environment into the beach. Another tip, if I may add, is a nearby jetski rental that rents there’s out right in front of the restaurant for a reasonable price for a good amount of time Beautiful beach spot for a quick lunch or cold cocktail. Rosie was our server, very sweet and helpful. Scenery is outstanding. Touristy pricing. The food was delicious—we tried the conch, coconut shrimp, and jerk chicken, and everything was flavorful and well-prepared. The prices were a bit on the high side for the portion sizes, but that’s expected in Antigua. The best part is the location—right on the beach with a stunning view. Just a heads-up, if you plan to spend the day on the beach, the price for two chairs and umbrella is $20USD. Overall, a solid spot for good food and a beautiful setting!

We had a quick stop in our excursion. The water is nice and the facilities are good. The chairs were included. We paid $10 us dollars to rent the umbrella.

Nice beach side cafe with good food. Decent prices for the location. Friendly staff. Went there two different days for lunch. We had the shrimp roti, burger, conch fritters, coconut shrimp, and BBQ chicken. All was good
