Since Hurricane Georges blew across Antigua in September 1998, The Barrymore Beach Club has undergone a complete renovation inside and out, and has new furniture, kitchens, and even a new beach bar.
Located on a two-acre parcel on Runaway Bay, this small private beach resort is a kickback place for a peaceful vacation with no planned entertainment. There are no phones and no air-conditioning, but plenty of sea breezes for keeping cool.
The newly-renovated units have TV sets, toasters, coffee makers, microwaves, and unique, modern furnishings. They are available in the one and two-bedroom units as well as standard garden view rooms. Outside there's a lovely small private beach along peaceful Runaway Bay, and there is no pool.
The restaurant serves up reasonably priced fare in a causal atmosphere. For more action than this peaceful haven may afford, there are seven bars and restaurants within easy walking distance, as well as a casino. There's also a computer available for guest use at a small charge.
This is the kind of friendly, privately-owned place that people tend to visit again and again.
