Does anyone ever travel to any Islands like Bermuda, Barbados, Barbuda and St. Kitts & Nevis?
Has anyone been to Antigua, Guatemala recently? It is on my list for destinations to stay for a week or so. Wanted to know if anyone has had an experience there recently or could point out a cafe or two to find a decent Wi-Fi connection.
Thanks!
There’s definitely fairly decent internet to be found in Antigua. It can vary from 4Mbps for a home connection to 20Mbps in cafes and coworking spaces. More info here:
The Bagel Barn had probably the best wifi of any cafe in town when I was there in late 2015. Touristy as can be (which, most of Antigua is), but good food and coffee.
Y Tu Piña Tambien is a good spot to work, with decent wifi. Rainbow Cafe was decent as well.
Otherwise, it was pretty hit and miss for me.

Antigua is a fun, historic and compact city with enough international visitors to make it comfortable for any expat for digital nomad. In recent decades the city has evolved into an international Spanish-learning destination, for the high quality of life, tourism amenities, access to nature, and low cost. It's also a few hour drive from one of the most beautiful lakes I've ever seen: Lake Atitlan.
