If I were to dock half a point anywhere, it would be that I personally would have loved just a tad more color in the living room area to reflect the Caribbean- but that’s more of a personal preference than anything else. The balcony was accessible from both the living room and the bedroom.

We stayed in a pool facing one bedroom suite- fully equipped with a larger than my apartment kitchen, balcony, jacuzzi, living area. Over the course of our stay, all was well. I should say that individual housekeeping services can vary as we are talking about specific human performance which may not always be equal across the board. I do have to say that almost as a general rule, the Four Seasons brand does an excellent job of making sure that its properties maintain a level of cleanliness – I hardly ever have to worry. I have been at 6month old hotels that are already showing signs of fatigue and use, and often that doesn’t bode well for the future of the hotel. This for me is always an important sign of the attention to cleanliness at a hotel. The property reads brand new and contemporary, I was surprised when a staffer shared that he had been working there for 4 years, I had assumed the hotel must have opened in the last couple of years due to its appearance. On paper, this sounds like an additional hurdle, but in reality, it’s a lovely opportunity to get a glimpse of another island before settling into Anguilla but even more importantly, the boat ride between islands makes for an exhilarating and fun sightseeing experience. While Anguilla has an airport, the most common route is through St Maarten’s airport, from which you’ll take a 25min speedboat to get to Anguilla’s ferry station. Better yet, the hotel is a short ride (10mins) from the ferry. This means that from any point on the property you are always only a short walk from the beach and some rooms/villas are even closer (at a premium of course). LOCATION:įour Seasons Anguilla is by all standards a beautiful hotel sitting on a grand well-manicured property right along Anguilla’s coastline. So that you can be better informed about whether a stay is worth your time and money. So when I visit hotels now, especially in the context of sharing with you guys here, on Instagram, on TripAdvisor, I try to make sure that I’m capturing and thinking of every last detail. Most people also save to make these trips a reality, so every dime they spend has to be well worth it. I also have great respect for every dime that a guest spends when they travel most people look forward to their trips for half the year if not all of it. I have a better appreciation of what happens not only front and center at a hotel, but also what has to happen behind the scenes and the little details in service and amenities that make one hotel miles ahead of another. Experience does that, it changes you slowly. The traveler I am today has come a long way from the person that began this blog 10 years ago.
