"Amazing bar , so beautiful, chilled and friendly bar staff which seems to be rare in Antigua. There’s a little boat that comes to collect you from the sand. Drinks are around $8 usd each"

"Great experience if your in the Dickinson beach area. This remote tiki bar is a short boat ride from the beach. The bar opens about 1pm and closes at sundown. You can hail the boat from the beach and it’s a short ride to the floating bar. The bar offers about 8-10 cocktails from a short menu. The cocktails are really good. You can also get other drinks such as beer and spirits. You can order food but I guess this comes from the beach via boat. We didn’t order food. The vibe is really good and you can swim around the bar as well."

"The highlight of our holiday!
Great (but deceptively effective) drinks made and served by wonderful people.
Didn't see any evidence of 'a grill' on any of our 5 visits, though!"
