Well, to be honest most of\nthe time locals try to hide their best food and drink spots, wanting to keep\nthem all to themselves. Not the case with Antigua. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it is a hole in the wall rum joint or\na off-menu special at a 5-star restaurant, the locals will offer a hand to\nhelp. And in my book, that alone makes Antigua a one-of-a-kind location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Frigate\nBird Sanctuary: A Place Not Just For Bird Lovers! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The subheading doesn\u2019t lie!

But of course, there isn\u2019t much I can say\nabout those. I don\u2019t want to ruin all the fun. You\u2019ll just have to go visit to\nsee for yourself \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it is your turn! Have you ever taken a\ncruise over to Antigua? If so, what was your favorite spot?
