Hermitage Bay Antigua Beachfront Villa Tour | All-Inclusive Hilton Free Night Certificate Stay

Justin Vacula of the Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast visits Hermitage Bay in Antigua, a luxury all-inclusive resort that can cost around $2,000 per nigh. He booked using Hilton free night certificates from American Express and was upgraded to a beachfront villa with Hilton Diamond status, also from American Express.

In this room tour, Justin shows what it’s like to stay in a beachfront villa at Hermitage Bay, including the desk area, closets, king bed, pop-up TV, seating area, Nespresso and tea setup, stocked water and ice, and an included minibar with alcohol, snacks, and restock options.

The villa tour also includes the large bathroom with a soaking tub, bath amenities, abundant outlets and USB ports, and an outdoor shower.

Outside, Justin highlights the beachfront patio with swings and lounge seating, direct beach access, a foot-wash station, clear Caribbean water, water sports, and nearby resort features including the pool and bar. He also mentions the hillside villas at Hermitage Bay, which require golf cart transport around the property.

Filmed in August with weather around 80°F and no rain, this video gives a quick look at the value of using Hilton free night certificates for a high-end all-inclusive resort stay in Antigua.
