urtain Bluff is a bit of a legend in international hotel circles. Dating back to the late 1950s its phenomenal potential was noted on an aerial reconnaissance over southern Antigua by American pilot, Howard Hulford, who spotted a spectacular beach-flanked bluff. He liked it so much he built his own private home here as well as an exclusive hotel with just enough accommodation for his friends. Sadly, the familiar figure of the cigar-smoking host is no longer with us, but thankfully his sublime hotel endures under the careful ownership of his wife, Chelle and supported by long-standing General Manager, Rob Sherman.
