    Yeah, if you're white. If you're living out there I'm assuming you're gonna make friends with the locals, in which case the hotels are pretty much off limits.

    Been out in the Caribbean myself (see other thread), Hotels do allow non-guests in. Helps if you have some money to chuck at them though as they will charge you entry fee (although depends on the events) and there will be a time limit, eg out by 1am.

    So what are you left with? One cinema with one screen in the middle of the capital (St John's in the case of Antigua) which is full of old blokes boozing, smoking and chatting away. And loads of beach bars.

    So basically, the only thing to do for leisure is to drink yourself to death. Or, if you're a millionaire, you can sail your yacht round the islands with all the other rich idiots and drink Pimms.
    Couldn't you just walk through the main entrance?
