"Got any twin rooms?" It must be the question most frequently asked by friends wanting to enjoy the destinations usually associated with couples and honeymooners. And Verandah in Antigua has got you covered, now offering 44 twin rooms across the resort.
They’re spacious, the beds are super comfy and most have a terrace with a sea view. Of course you won’t be spending much time in your room.

There’s also an 18-hole mini golf course, tennis courts, shuffleboard and – my personal favourite – four pickleball courts. I managed to persuade my friend to join me on the court on three morning – before breakfast, of course, as even by 10am it’s far too hot to be chasing balls around. I’ll make a pro of her yet! There is a daily activity list that includes mini tournaments as well as aqua aerobics, water polo and even beer pong.
I think the only thing we didn’t get round to was cornhole bag throwing. We’ll just have to come back next year. The best beaches in Antigua Antigua’s claim to
