A few more thoughts on the T&C/CJ topic:

-We did boat transfers from SXM three years in a row and had a series of service fails. As noted upstream, it can be a scrum at SXM and the providers are not always
reliable. As well, during high season, the water can be extremely rough and our DIL spend the entirety of one journey hanging off the back of the boat. We switched to
Anguilla Air Service for the next 6 years and never looked back.

-During high season, the beach at CJ is notably calmer than the Mead's side, if that matters. I am not a fan of the Malliouhana set up with the steps and just don't love the
somewhat tight footprint of the hotel vs. CJ. While we only stay in villas in Anguilla, we have spent a lot of time at CJ visiting friends there and have always found the
service erratic, but erring on the positive side. Belmond should improve things for sure, as ownership was always a revolving door in the past. I would never limit myself to hotel restaurants on Anguilla, as there are so many options that are far superior from a food and service point of view.

-T&C high season weather is not as dependable as it is on Anguilla. We have had both fantastic and miserable conditions and are a bit gun shy. Amanyara was a bit isolated and, for the eye popping price, the service wasn't quite up to par. The beach there was fine but not nearly as nice as many beaches on Anguilla. We stayed in an
incredible villa complex there with a group, close to the beach. The private pool was fantastic but the living area - a separate building in the middle of separate rooms - was rarely used other than for meals. I would be very careful to know where my room is to be located at Yara as some of them are quite a decent walk/cart ride from the beach, which just feels wrong. It didn't feel full on "Aman."

We also stayed at Grace Bay lClub ast year which we would not recommend. The beach is really nice and it is walking distance to town, but it is, ultimately, a strip of high
rise hotels and just doesn't feel peaceful enough. Some may love this vibe, however. Have not been to Parrot Cay, so we will probably try that to finish running the T&C table.
