I went to Antigua in Dec 04 and stayed at Sandals & it's fantastic! So much so, am going back there to get married! With regards to what there is to do - well it depends on what you like!!!
You could organise a boat trip on the "Wadadli Cats" - a catamaran cruise with lively hosts and caribbean music, who provide a great buffet lunch on the boat and also take a video of the trip. I went on an all day trip with these guys and it was fabulous, sailing in the Caribbean sea, then snorkelling, then on to Nelsons Dockyard late afternoon and finally spending the evening at Shirley Heights, which has breathtaking views and fabulous sunsets, with a resident steel band. It gets livelier the later you go - tourists early evening, locals later on.
There is also the Antiguan Dance Academy if you're looking to hire some entertainment. They were a troop of dancers doing traditional dance with a steel band accompanying them. The drums are fantastic and the dancers are brilliant!
I guess the main nightclubs would be in St Johns - the capital, but I haven't been to any of those so cannot recommend them.
Hope you manage to organise yourself a fabulous hen party!
