Stunning luxury 5-bedroom villa in the exclusive Galley Bay *Summer Reductions*

Unfortunately, this stay fell well below expectations due to multiple unresolved maintenance issues and how they were handled by the host.Several amenities did not function properly. The internet was very poor and unreliable on the main floor and did not work at all on the lower level, which was never disclosed. The hot tub did not work, and there were basic maintenance issues, including a broken sink plug, that were never fixed. These concerns were raised during our stay, but responses were often delayed and dismissive, and at times the information provided did not align with what we experienced.On the morning of checkout, cleaners arrived before checkout time and entered the property to begin cleaning while we were still in the home. One of the cleaners walked in on a family member while he was changing, which was a serious privacy violation and completely unacceptable. Cleaning while guests are still in the property when checkout was only a few hours away, was unnecessary. The cleaner stated she was instructed to start cleaning due to incoming guests.Rather than acknowledging these concerns, the host minimized the issues and repeatedly stated that he had never heard these complaints before.The property itself has potential, but poor maintenance, lack of transparency, dismissive communication significantly impacted our experience. We would not recommend.

We stayed at Villa Nicobar for 11 nights and had the most amazing holiday. We've been to the island a few times before and wanted to explore a different part of the island. Nothing is too far away in Antigua when you have a car though. Villa was beautiful, great welcome, car was there when we arrived (id highly advise to use tropical cars and get it dropped off at the villa). The villa may need a bit of updating but generally its great and if any issues, Michael is on hand to fix or help. Deep Bay beach may be the best beach on the island in my view and is only 5 mins away in the car, its the beach you can see in the pictures. All round great villa and Nigel was always on hand to answer emails etc. Id highly recommend and I'm sure we'll be back.

The view is great! Finally made it to the beach we stared at, did not disappoint!

Michelle the housekeeper was the nicest person we met on the island and would do anything to better your stay including offering to bring her blender to the house for us to use because the property doesn't have one. Unfortunately Michelle was fired the morning we were leaving with no notice... what a shame for the house to loose the best staff person who relates with the guests...Pros:Views outstanding3 bedrooms upstairs with views and access to verandahNigel very quick to answer questionsMichelle whCons: because there is only 4 hours between quest arrival no deep clean can be done, the house needs a deep clean including glass on stairs, washing machine I did a clean of before I would put my dirty clothes in,Furniture on verandah wheels and arm rests wobbly.Safes in closets don't work no lights to useNeighbors were robbed while we were hereOnly 1 set of keys to use between 4 couplesBroken gate control

The view is amazing! The layout is great. Pool and hot tub are wonderful. The outdoor living area is spacious and comfortable. HOWEVER.....beware of the resort at the bottom of the hill....Every day at 11:00 the load music begins, water aerobics, followed by Bingo, followed by.... and into the night. You can not walk to the beach (unless you are an athlete!) Even the driving to the house is scary!!!. We were so happy to have screens on the sliders, to leave them open and hear the ocean at night! BUT, in the morning three of us (all in different bedrooms) woke up eaten alive with so many bug bites (holes in the screens) so had to keep the glass sliders closed every night, and could not hear the ocean. There are lots of things in the house that need repair. The house keeper and home manager are incredible! Helpful, accommodating, just perfect. Michael actually caught and delivered fresh lobsters to us to cook for dinner one evening. We had a very nice dinner at Hawksbill Resort close by, and an INCREDIBLE dinner at Galley Bay Resort, even closer. The weather as perfect every day.

We had a great stay at Nicobar. For our extended family group with a baby it made an excellent base on Antigua. The view is always fabulous and the pool and outside areas where we spent all our time were very comfortable. There are some walkable beaches and Deep Bay was a quick drive. We were well looked after with three cleans during the week and the property owner is responsive. A great stay and good value.

Very nice house. Well appointed. Beautiful view! Lovely staff. When the sanitary landfill was burning garbage (nightly when we were there) and the wind is from the right direction, the haze and odor of smoke is overwhelming. Even with a car be prepared for at least a 20-30 minute drive to the grocery store, restaurants, and many beaches and activities.

A fantastic villa with amazing views! the villa is absolutely beautiful, located on a hilltop villa in five islands. we had a great stay for 8 people. would highly recommend.

Stunning Villa location, more remote than advertised with poor access roads so do get a 4x4 vehicle. The Villa itself has not been maintained to the advertised standard but was clean & expertly maintained by housekeeper Michelle. Upon arrival, not even a bottle of water was available so we had to go shopping in the dark to get some basic supplies. Then upon our return found that the fridge was not working and there was no gas to cook. We experienced one issue after another during our 2 week stay with the electricity being cut off and the generator running out of fuel. We got to know the fabulous Michael very well due to the multiple equipment failures. I would not recommend this property.

Great week at Villa Nicobar. Michelle the housekeeper is amazing, helpful and a wonderful person to have around. Views are mazing. The sound system did not work, and the TV did not work for the first few days. There is a resort below the house that tends to get very loud- especially on Christmas night. There was an issue with a pump- came on frequently and was extremely loud. The pool is great, the beaches amazing. Renting from Tropical Car rentals was easy- car was waiting for us. We hired a chef from Montserrat, Toni James, who stayed with us the whole week- she is the best and so easy to have stay with you. Highly recommend her is you stay here. Nigel was easy to communicate with. Would stay again! Thanks Nigel.

In 2017, we had a memorable stay at Villa Nicobar. The aesthetically pleasing house offered panoramic views. Merle, provided exceptional assistance throughout our visit. We wrote a praiseworthy review based on our experience. Although we were unable to stay in the villa in April of this year due to unavailability, we were delighted to secure a reservation for Nicobar for an unexpected trip to attend the funeral of a dear friend. Michelle, the hostess, was invaluable and made up for the shortcomings of the house. While the views remained stunning, the villa had several notable shortcomings. (1) The exterior lighting system was malfunctioning, with only a limited number of lights functional. This left us feeling unsafe and vulnerable at night. The terrace lights were particularly weak, and the pool lights were inoperable, preventing nighttime swimming, an activity we enjoyed during our previous visit. (2) The windows and doors were inoperable due to damaged screens, allowing insects to enter. Notably, a bird flew into the living room through a torn screen. (3) The furniture was also in need of repair and restoration. The dishwasher was malfunctioning, and the garbage disposal was not functioning correctly, resulting in unpleasant odors. (4) And worse, we were jolted awake by the generator alarm blaring for 15 minutes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Nicobar did not live up to its expectations this time.

We really enjoyed this beautiful property and the owner is VERY communicative. The beautiful team that comes is also so very sweet and helpful.
