I had been thinking about where to stay on Anguilla for a long time. While the Belmond was mostly recommended to me, I was leaning towards the Four Seasons. The latter was a bit cheaper and offered decent sized suites for the money. The Belmond also has very nice suites, but with over $ 5000 per night I was out.
In the end, however, I booked the Belmond. For the room, I took "the cheapest". The next higher category was not really different and the Junior Suite was $1000 more expensive per night and from numbers much bigger, but in videos the main room looked quite similiar. Somehow not really sensible for me. 5 nights came to $11,039.25 including taxes. What I did not know was that a service fee was also included. So I always tipped nicely, not a bad deal for the employees.
The hotel is located on a kind of headland, in the front the sea, behind it salt basins. The entrance is nicely done, at night fires burn in the bowls.



The view to the back is moderately nice, you wouldn't really need the ruined building.

After passing a guard house, we reached the main house. Here there are no rooms, but only a the lobby, the restaurant and other facilities. Everything is built in the Moroccan style, which now fits only limited to Anguilla, but is pretty. The rooms are distributed in smaller houses over the grounds, but more about that later.


Behind the entrance there is an art gallery.

Welcome drinks were served in the open lobby and check-in was done.




There is a closed area with the 2 libraries, the business center and the actual reception.



Across the street is one of the restaurants (Uchu) with the old pool on the terrace.
