Malliouhana Resort Anguilla

Paradise is the only way to describe the experience of staying at this lovely hotel/resort on the wonderfully friendly island of Anguilla. It has a stunning location, perched on a cliff above two bays with what seems like a limitless horizon. Having stayed at other ground-level beach properties, there's something really special about having the loftier perspective. The sunsets were phenomenal. My husband and I just returned from 7 delightful days here and wish we could have stayed even longer. For us, the size of the resort was perfect; not too big. but with plenty of space and activities. In addition to a nice beach set-up, the two pools high above the beach are gorgeous, and there's no jockeying for space, or having to "hold" chairs early in the day as we've found at other resorts. We had an oceanview premium room in the main building and it suited perfectly. Large and very comfortable with a huge terrace (and daybed for lounging) and big bathroom, with double sinks, soaking tub and large, separate shower. Housekeeping was excellent. That brings me to a shout-out to the very special Malliouhana staff. Everyone (too many to name) was friendly, warm, knowledgeable and professional; always happy to share information, recommend places to visit, restaurants (and dishes to order!), answer questions or make suggestions about virtually anything on the island. Their commitment to their guests really stands out. The spa is first-rate, with great treatments. We enjoyed some of the best massages we've ever had. The gym was clean and well-equipped, and there are various yoga and other classes available almost daily. Mead's Bay remains our favorite on the island and we walked the length of it (close to a mile) daily. As a bonus, there are several great restaurants along the beach, all walkable for lunch or dinner. We had an opportunity to visit at least two other popular luxury properties during our week at Malliouhana and in both cases, were extra-glad of our choice -- the optimal combination of size (neither too large or too small), beauty, luxury and comfort. If you can't relax here, you probably can't relax anywhere. We look forward to a return next year.

The Malli is exactly what you picture when you think of a Caribbean vacation: beautiful, wide-open facilities with a view of the water. An added bonus is the unbelievably friendly service, with multiple staff members remembering your name and preferences (like food allergies). This is one of the nicest resorts that I have visited in the Caribbean. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful, quirky hotel with a bar that has the most sublime views. Fantastic pools and gardens and very friendly staff. We had a garden room but it had a beautiful view of the ocean. Very quiet, very large rooms. Our only slight gripe was that the food was a little cold - not sure how far away the kitchen is from the restaurants ... Otherwise a gorgeous place to stay.

Went to Malliouhana for a 5 night babymoon. Staff and service were excellent, hotel grounds were beautiful - especially the beach and pool areas. The food at the hotel is also very good and there are lots of restaurants within walking distance on the beach. Would definitely recommend!

My husband and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary here and we were very surprised by the complimentary bottle of champagne and chocolate cake. A sweet touch to an even sweeter stay. The staff was incredible and very accommodating. Resort was maculate.

Phenomenal experiences at Malliouhana. Kevan Miller and Junesha went above and beyond to take care of our party of 11 at Leone’s. Food was excellent and Kevan made sure everyone’s needs were met. Then our last night Ronaldo Hodge and Sheriffa served the best cocktails ever. The best part was everyone’s welcoming smiles. It is a special place with special people.
