Comfortable welcoming atmosphere

Clean spacious rooms, beautiful gardens, lovely beach, great staff. This is a quiet and private place next to a stretch of undeveloped beach, with restaurants and bars a 10 minute walk on Shoal Bay. Had several meals here including a lovely Valentine’s Day dinner.

We really enjoyed our stay at the very quiet end of Shoal Bay. The food at the restaurant was excellent, and the staff were super friendly and very accommodating. The view from the restaurant is spectacular! We would certainly recommend serenity cottages.

A place to reboot your brain

It was a wonderful peaceful stay. Allowed my brain to reboot. Never had to leave the property except to walk Shoal Bay Beach-one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Host Jackie is outstanding-attentive without being intrusive, kind and caring. Highly recommend!!

A hidden gem on Shoal Bay!

We had an amazing stay at Serenity Cottages. We did need to upgrade to a 1 bedroom to have the balcony on the beach, and it was worth it! The view was amazing, the grounds and buildings were kept spotless, and the service was excellent. It was quiet and relaxing, and could not ask for more.

Serenity Now!

Serenity cottages lives up to its name--SUCH a serene place, with an almost deserted beautiful beach. The staff and management did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable, including working graciously with us to resolve some issues with the wifi, television and shower pressure. Though the units could use some refreshing, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Overall, we would definitely come back, and can't speak highly enough of Kenneth, the owner, the service and staff.
Sunset perfection.

Excellent Stay for the whole family

Our arrival with our two grown daughters was delayed on Xmas day and Jackie opened the kitchen for us and gave us a fantastic late night Xmas meal on our balcony! The service and staff were so welcoming and accommodating. We enjoyed being on the quieter side of Shoal Bay and being able to walk the beautiful beach and visit more restaurants around the corner. Our room was huge with two very large bedrooms and a full kitchen above the beach. The beach bar sadly was closed but the restaurant/bar area was lovely and we enjoyed Jackie’s cocktails for happy hour and the hospitality of Kenneth the owner. Francesca made sure we had what we needed in our rooms and was so pleasant and attentive too. I can’t wait to come back!

This is a lovely, out of the way, seaside retreat, surrounded by tropical gardens. The best rooms are in the front with large terraces and a view of the water. The atmosphere is old world, charming and quiet. The restaurant is excellent, as is the service. The only drawback is that the small beach in front of the hotel is not usable now, but an 8 minute walk along the water takes you to the most beautiful beach on the island.

I really enjoyed my stay at Serenity Cottages. The staff there was great and provided excellent service. I met the owner, Kenneth, and enjoyed talking with him. The check-in procedure was definitely unique…there was no front desk. Jackie met me in the parking area and walked me up to my room. She showed me where everything was and gave me the room key. She was also the server and bartender at dinner that night. The food there was also excellent. I was there over Easter weekend, the end of their busy season, so there weren’t many guests there. So we received the best service. I highly recommend Serenity Cottages for a stay at Anguilla.

It was low season for Anguilla so I’m sure that had something to do with the service I received. I think we were 2 of maybe 4 guests.The service was slow and unfriendly. The bed was a little hard and the A/C had a hard time cooling the room. First world problems for sure!
