EZ Grab sits opposite the Reception area at the car park, an easy stroll from all accommodations.

The store is open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM—ideal for a morning top-up or an afternoon last-minute run before sunset on the bay.

Build Your Perfect Antigua Day with EZ Grab

Easy Mornings: Breakfast in Your Own Kitchen

With fully equipped kitchens, breakfast is simple. Use your in-room coffee/tea maker and toaster, pair with groceries from EZ Grab, and you’re beach-ready in minutes. Prefer a fuller selection? 1St Choice Supermarket is close by if you’d like to do a bigger shop.

Pro tip: On some mornings, a local fresh fruit and vegetables seller sets up in the car park—great for seasonal produce to accompany your breakfast.

Midday Made Simple: Beach and Pool Breaks

Spend the day between the private beach and the freshwater pool (8:00 AM–7:00 PM). Use EZ Grab to keep your day seamless with convenient top-ups for snacks and refreshments. When you’re ready to mix it up, two privately run restaurants sit directly adjacent to the property, and Coconut Grove is an easy 3-minute walk along the beach.

Sunset Picnics and Garden BBQs

Antigua Village features barbecue grills and a picnic area—perfect for a relaxed evening. Stop by EZ Grab for groceries and beverages, then dine al fresco among the gardens. If you want everything ready the moment you arrive, consider the Pre-Arrival Shopping Service (details below) to have items waiting in your fridge.

Beyond the Basics: Fresh Produce and Bigger Shops

Morning Market Moments

On some mornings, a local fresh produce vendor sets up right in the car park with first-class fruit and vegetables. It’s a convenient way to add island freshness to your meals without leaving the Village.

Tip: While many merchants accept major credit cards, smaller businesses may only accept cash, and change is typically given in Eastern Caribbean dollars—carry a little local currency for the produce stall.

When You Want More Choice

For a broader selection, 1St Choice Supermarket is within walking distance or a two-minute drive away—ideal for a full grocery run to stock your condo for several days.

Pre-Arrival Grocery Shopping Service

Prefer everything ready when you unlock the door? Antigua Village offers a Pre-Arrival Shopping Service so requested groceries—and even a selection from the Antigua Village Wine list—can be placed in your fridge before you arrive (prices confirmed at booking). It’s a stress-free way to start your holiday, especially if your flight gets in after EZ Grab Essentials closes at 5:00 PM.

Practical Tips to Use EZ Grab Like a Pro

  1. Plan around hours: Shop in the morning or early afternoon to catch 8:00 AM–5:00 PM hours—perfect before heading to the pool (8:00 AM–7:00 PM) or beach.
  2. Leverage your kitchen: With a refrigerator, stovetop, microwave, toaster, and coffee/tea maker in every unit, you can prep quick meals and snacks anytime.
  3. Combine with fresh produce: Look out for the morning produce seller for seasonal fruit and vegetables.
  4. Go big when needed: Use 1St Choice Supermarket for a fuller grocery run—walking distance or a two-minute drive.
  5. Arriving late? Use the Pre-Arrival Shopping Service so essentials are waiting in your fridge if you get in after 5:00 PM.
  6. Keep valuables secure: Use your in-room safe before heading out to shop, swim, or explore.
  7. Have the right payment mix off-site: Around the island, most merchants accept major credit cards, but smaller businesses may only take cash; expect change in Eastern Caribbean dollars.
  8. Ask Reception for local insights: The team can help with island activities like biking, sailing, diving, golf, and more—great to plan your EZ Grab runs around tours.

These touches make it simple to weave EZ Grab Essentials into your day—so every errand is a short, scenic stroll.
