点评:I hesitate to give glowing recommendations on Shoal Bay Villas, because it might mean getting reservations there in the future could become a problem. 😊 In all seriousness, I cannot say enough great things about this hotel and the staff. It is the ONLY place we want to stay when we come to Anguilla. It was our first time not only to Anguilla, but also to Shoal Bay Villas, but it won’t be our last.
We stayed in a one bedroom garden suite (I think it was #8), and it was right above the office. We loved it there. The suite was roomy with a full kitchen with everything we needed, and the a/c in the living room and the bedroom worked very well. We even had a little beach view between two suites. The grounds are impeccable, and although we didn’t use the pool in the time we were there, it was clean and looked inviting.
Don’t even get me started about the beach in front of the hotel. GORGEOUS! We spent all of our time there when we weren’t out sightseeing. We had a set-up on the beach with 2 loungers, an umbrella and small table, and our name was on it, so no waking up at 6am nonsense to reserve loungers. You were assigned a lounger set-up area when you checked in, and we LOVED this. No matter what time of day we moseyed on out there, we had loungers waiting for us.
And the owners Kathy and Rachel are simply the BEST! Personable, caring and always available if there were issues. It is evident that they care about the people who stay at the hotel. We rented a car from Bay Rentals, and Rachel arranged it all for us. She let us know exactly where it would be at the ferry terminal, and the car was waiting there when we arrived in Anguilla.
Close to the end of our stay, we had a little incident with the car. One tire blew when we went out to get some booze. A kind passerby helped us change the tire, and we made it back to the hotel on the spare, and Rachel took care of contacting the car rental agency to secure us another car. We opted to do without the car for our last day, and not only did the car rental agency refund one day’s rental fee, but Rachel also secured us a taxi to take us back to the ferry terminal.
The cleaning ladies did a superb job of cleaning the rooms every day, and no shortage of bath or beach towels. Tip them well as they work hard. We loved the container of water that was replaced daily just outside of our suite, which we used for washing out feet to get off any excess sand before taking it into our suite. It’s the little things like this that makes this place feel like home.
I would not hesitate to come back to Shoal Bay Villas. Definitely a home away from home. And bonus that there are numerous restaurants in walking distance along the beach from this hotel. Thanks Rachel and Kathy. See you again soon.
翻译:我犹豫着是否要对 Shoal Bay Villas 给出极好的推荐,因为这可能意味着将来预订那里的酒店会成为问题。😊 说实话,我对这家酒店和员工赞不绝口。这是我们来安圭拉时唯一想住的地方。这不仅是我们第一次来安圭拉,也是我们第一次来 Shoal Bay Villas,但不会是最后一次。
我们住在一间一卧室花园套房(我想是 8 号),就在办公室的正上方。我们很喜欢那里。套房很宽敞,厨房设备齐全,有我们需要的一切,客厅和卧室的空调运行良好。我们甚至在两间套房之间可以看到一点海滩。场地无可挑剔,虽然我们在那里的时候没有使用游泳池,但它很干净,看起来很吸引人。
酒店前面的海滩就更不用说了。美极了!我们不出去观光时,就把所有时间都花在那里。我们在海滩上安排了一张躺椅,上面有 2 张躺椅、一把遮阳伞和一张小桌子,上面写着我们的名字,所以不用早上 6 点起床预订躺椅。入住时,我们会为您分配一个躺椅设置区,我们非常喜欢这一点。无论我们什么时候在那里悠闲地散步,都有躺椅等着我们。
老板 Kathy 和 Rachel 简直是最好的!亲切、体贴,如果有问题,随时待命。很明显,他们关心住在酒店的人。我们从 Bay Rentals 租了一辆车,Rachel 为我们安排好了一切。她告诉我们车在渡轮码头的确切位置,当我们到达安圭拉时,车就在那里等着我们。
在我们住宿即将结束的时候,我们的车出了点小问题。我们出去喝酒的时候,一个轮胎爆了。一位好心的路人帮我们换了轮胎,我们开着备胎回到了酒店,Rachel 还联系了租车公司,为我们找到了另一辆车。我们决定在最后一天不开车,租车公司不仅退还了一天的租车费,Rachel 还帮我们找到了一辆出租车,把我们送回渡轮码头。
清洁女工每天都把房间打扫得干干净净,浴巾和沙滩巾也不缺。她们工作很努力,所以给她们小费吧。我们很喜欢套房外面每天更换的水箱,我们用它来洗脚,洗掉多余的沙子,然后再把沙子带进套房。正是这样的小事让这个地方有家的感觉。
我会毫不犹豫地回到 Shoal Bay Villas。绝对是家外之家。而且从这家酒店步行即可到达海滩沿线的众多餐厅,真是意外的惊喜。谢谢 Rachel 和 Kathy。期待再见。
