A Visitor Trip Report
From the Anguilla Local News - Site Map.

What experienced visitors have to say after a trip to Anguilla can be very useful for people planning their first visit. For example, this couple not only enjoyed many of our well-known restaurants (I have linked each name in the report to the news article containing the restaurant's menu), but they also had good luck with a local road side stand that I now want to try (click on the thumbnail picture below for a full-size picture):

My wife, Jill, and I just got back from our fourth trip to Anguilla last week (March 20 - 26), and I wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your Internet newsletter, and how useful it was to us while we were visiting.

Also, I thought I'd pass on some of our experiences in case you'd like to add them to your newsletter; and if you do, please feel free to add an e-mail link ([email protected]) to my name in case anyone would like to write.

As we have for each of the past three years, we stayed at Cinnamon Reef again this year. As always, the owners Rich and Carol Hauser, along with their truly wonderful staff (special recognition to Malt with the water sports on the beach and Charmagne in the Palm Court during breakfast), continue to foster a friendly, low-key, and relaxed environment, and we truly enjoyed our stay on Little Harbour. We'd recommend Cinnamon Reef to anyone!

Among the places we stopped for lunches during the week was the Trailer/barbeque next door to the Aquarium Restaurant: wonderful barbeque chicken (two orders and two Caribs cost only $6 US)!
[Editor: the trailer is pictured here and is located in South Hill to the west of the Sandy Ground roundabout.]

Dinner stops (is it possible to have a bad dinner anywhere on Anguilla?): The Palm Court at Cinnamon Reef: Vernon, now the head chef since Zef has left, is doing a terrific job. The meals and their presentation are both creative and excellent! Among our favorites were the baked snapper over key-lime fettucine, and the Anguillian rock grouper. LeDuc's: we had a wonderful evening there, chatting with the owners, and enjoying a fabulous meal (the tuna was wonderful!). KoalKeel: dinner was excellent, as it always is, and it was fun to have Charmagne (from Palm Court) as our waitress, and to have the Captain, Ambrose, recognize us from our mutual St. Martin days, back in 1990. Zara's: we chose this based on your review in a past newsletter as well as based on a recommendation from some friends (Grove and Jean Ely who have a lovely house near Betty Hill villas), and we were not disappointed -- Shamash is doing great things there, the lobster pasta is especially noteworthy). Arlo's: very good Italian food with a Caribbean flair, and a big improvement over its pre-Luis days.
