Top Star of the
Five Star Anguilla Hotels
Visit CuisinArt: Our New #1 Favorite Five Star
Anguilla hotels have an unfair advantage... perfect beaches, friendly people (it does not feel as if they are trying to be friendly, if you know what I mean) and a Caribbean island that loves to eat well!
Each resort tries to outdo each other with the latest menu of famous world-class chefs, some even flown in from Paris.
The Anguilla island itself is 5 Star all the way, and that's the kind of tourist that they want.
Anguilla resorts and hotels don't rise up high from the landscape, jarring your eyesight... they blend beautifully into their surroundings, quietly whispering "world class."

Favorite Anguilla Hotel
Have you had a delightful experience at an Anguilla hotel or an Anguilla resort? Which is your favorite?
And you can see it by the sheer luxury of the hotels, the discipline and attentivenss of hotel personnel (and the genuine, big smiles)...
And of course you can recognize it as well by the room rates!
For us though, one of the Anguilla hotels stood out above all others. As we visited all of the top Anguilla hotels... Malliouhana, Cap Jaluca, Cuisinart (yes, the blender people!), and so on and so on, we found ourselves returning over and over to one...
For sunset drinks from our favorite overlook, for the delicious Anguillian perch in the beach bar, for walks on their perfect beach, and even just to wander around their perfectly manicured grounds.
And that hotel was...
The Malliouhana
It sits on a bluff, overlooking Mead's Bay, an incredible sweep of white sand and gentle waves and clear turquoise. As I said, Anguilla hotels are lucky, but the Malliouhana hit the jackpot!
Doesn't it just make you want to dive right into the monitor? Or go for a walk down that beach?
And there was a cool kid's water park, the only one of all the Anguilla hotels -- even if you don't stay there, you can pay $25 to use it.
Of course, they have tennis, and swimming pools, little golf carts to motor you around... and some great restaurants. Speaking of which...
Our favorite place to eat was actually the more relaxed beach bar. Yes, it's my dad's doing, but not for the rum punches this time... their french fries are the best on the island! Better than at all the other Anguilla hotels.

But Malliouhana's absolute, #1, best feature can only be experienced at the end of the day. Go to the deck by the bar and watch the sun set over the ocean. It's our must-do magical moment in Anguilla...
peaceful, quiet, the family together watching the sun's blaze fade in glory (my Dad told me to write that!)
I could settle into a very relaxed, lazy day here...
play by the pool, swim in the ocean, snooze in a hammock, eat... then repeat til bedtime!
But my dad had an even better idea... rather than stay at one of the 5 Star Anguilla hotels, we could visit the Malliouhana and others whenever we like, but rent a villa for more room and for a reasonable price. Click here to see it.
