coast of Antigua, approximately 20 minutes from the Airport. It is situated on a small, elevated
peninsula providing privacy and beautiful views of Dian Bay, Devil’s Bridge
National Park and the Atlantic Ocean. The white sand beach of Long Bay is only a ten-minute walk or
two-minute drive away.

| Time -- Antigua falls within the Atlantic Time Zone, placing it one hour ahead of Eastern Standard Time, except when daylight savings time takes over, then Antigua time is the same as Eastern Standard Time. |
 | Currency -- Local currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar, called an “EC”.The EC is linked with the US Dollar, which varies based on current exchange rate, but on average is about US$1=EC$2.40. Money can be exchanged at local banks in St. Johns for the best rate. US dollars are accepted on the island, though change will often be given in EC. |
