Just breathtaking!!! The Villa, the Beach OMG the beach!! White sand shoreline and turquoise water just exquisite!! You only live once...this was certainly an epic beach vacation
This beautiful villa hotel is situated on one of Anguilla's most beautiful beaches. The fact that the beach and the sea are practically at your patio door felt completely surreal to me. Every day, I took an early morning walk along the beach and enjoyed the relaxing sounds of the waves rolling onto the shore. All the staff members I encountered greeted me warmly and with a big smile. I have definitely added this accommodation to the list of places I will visit again.
It is cozy small, no kids crowds screaming and running around, very few people usually on the beach.
Also pleasantly secluded with the downside of 30 mins drive to most places of interest in downtown.
Beachfront bungalows - absolutely awesome, nice calming interior, all the amenities are there for you.
My recommendations to myself for next visit to Anguilla:
- definitely stay at Shoal Bay Villas.
- rename Anguilla to "Reservations Island" - book everything in advance: ferries, cars, experiences, trips.
- bring 6 lbs of meat: they call Anguilla "culinary capital of the Caribbean" - in fact, nothing is far from the truth, their "cuisine" is naive, way overpriced, tastes like cardboard, with exceptions of few astronomical priced upscale places (still naive though).
Property was clean, staff was pleasant, and accommodations were better than expected. The one thing I would say is, the property can probably benefit from having an on-site bar for guests.
The staff, Isabel, Melana, Joel (who we came in contact with) were outstanding..appreciate that it is an easy facility to navigate about, and the view, ocean and waters are incredible!
Shoal Bay Villas is a beautiful property located on the most beautiful and peaceful beach in Anguilla. Their staff is extremely kind and hospitable. The property is very well kept from the room cleanliness to the immaculate grounds. We loved our stay and are excited to return soon.
Shoal Bay was just what I needed to enjoy my birthday. Easy check in, friendly staff, room was clean, beach just steps away and plenty of restaurant options. I will be returning.
