ACCOMMODATIONS
IN MONTSERRAT
Montserrat has a short, but varied list of attractive places to stay ranging
from intimate guest houses to small comfortable hotels and private rental
homes. All are in the northern safe zone.
Overnight
in Antigua:
Because you may arrive in Antigua too late to continue on to Montserrat,
here are some choices for an overnight.
Admiral
Inn, Nelson Dock Yard
When you are having a forced overnight because of transportation glitches, ask about a room on the top floor as those rooms are less expensive than others at the hotel. Here, you can spend the night and play online casino until you're ready to move on. Such a room will cost about $100 US dollars/night double.
