Curtain
Bluff Resort - Antigua
They
call this a tropical paradise and that's hard to dispute.
Run by former pilot Howard W. Hulford for the past 41 years,
Curtain Bluff exudes care and planning with an understated
elegance in an almost perfect setting. Hulford had spotted
this promontory overlooking two beautiful white sand beaches
on either side (one with surf and one without) and chose it
for his 12-acre resort. It's a place you would like to visit
time and time again, which is what most people do. Their repeat
business is 65 percent.
The
simple, yet tropical-perfect dining spot is located in a re-creation
of an old stone sugar mill-style building with a thatched
roof. Chef Ruedi Portmann serves up delectable meals, making
sure you see their wine cellar, where 10,000 bottles are there
for the asking.
The
rooms are memorable, not only for what's inside, but also
for their spectacular views overlooking the sea below the
bluff. Inside, the rooms have a casual decorator look with
colorful fabrics, bathrooms (outfitted with rum near the tub)
and sitting areas.
Though
peaceful and quiet, there is entertainment nightly: dance
combos, steel band and calypso music. Guests still dress for
dinner (although ties and jackets are optional). In May, the
Antigua Tennis Week moves in at the resort, a program began
by Hulford in 1975 to send island kids to tennis camp. It
eventually became a scholarship fund and has sent many Antiguans
to college.
Effective,
mid-December through mid-April, Curtain Bluff has loosened
its dress requirements for men to involve losing the tie on
weeknights when a jacket is required and losing the jacket
and tie altogether on Sundays and Wednesdays.
