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).
