Best Hotels in Anguilla

Nestled between Meads Bay Pond and the Atlantic Ocean on Anguilla, Frangipani Beach Resort boasts a white sand beach with complimentary motorized and nonmotorized water sports equipment like Hobie Cat sailboats, paddleboards, kayaks and snorkeling gear. Additional amenities that the room rates cover include use of the fitness center, pools and tennis court and daily breakfast for two at the Caribbean-inspired Straw Hat Restaurant (when stays are booked through the resort's website). Former visitors loved the meals served at the eatery, as well as the resort's plethora of free facilities. However, most said the spectacular views of Meads Bay and the beautiful rooms were the property's standout features. Accommodation options range from standard rooms with flat-screen TVs and balconies or terraces to suites with laundry machines and kitchens. Standard rooms do not offer water vistas, so past travelers recommend upgrading to an ocean view room or suite. Or, guests can reserve the four-bedroom villa, which has a private pool, a Jacuzzi and direct beach access. But remember, the resort closes annually from September through October.

The Reef by CuisinArt enjoys an enviable spot overlooking Merrywing Bay on the southwestern coast of Anguilla. Located less than 2 miles away from its sister property, CuisinArt Golf Resort & Spa, the resort offers 80 suites equipped with espresso machines, minibars, walk-in closets and bathrooms with dual sinks and separate showers and tubs. Most accommodations also feature terraces or balconies. What's more, there are plenty of on-site activities to keep travelers entertained. From paddleboarding and snorkeling to golf and tennis to fitness classes like yoga and aqua cycling, The Reef by CuisinArt keeps active visitors busy. Those who would rather unwind can relax with a poolside spa treatment, go for a dip in the pool or lounge on the beach. Billing itself as a "foodie's paradise," the resort grants guests access to numerous restaurants. Previous travelers raved about their meals at The Yacht Club and Breezes Restaurant and Lounge, adding that the staff members went out of their way to make sure their vacation was excellent. However, some said stays at this member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World group are a bit expensive. To save some coin, INVITED members can redeem reward night vouchers.
