It is also widely known for what it does not have... cruise ships, crowds and shopping. That includes everything from charming boutiques to the gold and electronic shops you will find on most Caribbean islands. I will skip the gold and electronic shops every time, but I will take the charming boutique, please! To many people's dismay, they are few and far between in Anguilla. Petals Boutique on Meads Bay at Frangipani Beach Hotel has changed that...
With white-wooden ceilings, and colored in pinks and draped in pink fabrics, Petals Boutique is pretty as a petal.
Looking for comfortable yet chic Anguilla-wear or travel-friendly souvenirs for back home? You can find it all at Petals Boutique. The shop features one of a kind Anguilla t-shirts, swim-shorts, caps and stylish lycra Anguilla shirts.
There is a plethora of unique and vividly colored wraps, cover ups, tank tops, skirts, and even dresses by brands like Pitusa. You won't find these items anywhere else in Anguilla.
One of our all-time favorite items at Petals is their watercolored Anguilla map pouch. Simple and cute, this pouch makes for a perfect souvenir and gift.

Cafe Celeste's breakfast menu offers classic coffees and teas, a variety of freshly squeezed juices and craft cocktails like the "Bloody Mali", a mix of citrus infused rum and housemade Bloody Mary in a Caribbean spice rimmed glass. Our favorites for food? From "The Classics" section of the menu, the "Farm Eggs"...
Your choice of sausage or bacon is sided with breakfast potatoes, roasted tomatoes, white or wheat toast and two sunny side up eggs. Everything is cooked to absolute perfection! Next, from the "Island Breakfast" section, the "Johnny Cake Sandwich" is a "must have"...
Scrambled eggs, breakfast ham, melted cheese, avocado, wilted spinach and roasted tomatoes are sandwiched in a fluffy fried Johnny cake. Served with a side of sweet potato fries and tangy ketchup, this sandwich is a work of art! Next, from the "Batter & Oats" section, the French Toast...

(Photo: Scott DeLong, Head Golf Professional at CuisinArt Golf Resort & Spa) I remember the days when my Dad would take me to watch Sir Nick Faldo practice his swing during one of his stops in Canada. More than twenty years later, it's pretty darn cool to see Sir Nick Faldo taking on the CuisinArt Golf Course. One of the leading golf courses in the Cairbbean, Forbes calls it "The Hidden Gem of the Caribbean." Caribbean Journal has labeled it one of the region's best, and Robb Report refers to its first hole as "The Caribbean's answer to the 18th at Pebble Beach."

It gets better! If you are an avid golfer, there's no better resort to stay at than CuisinArt and The Reef. The Reef backs onto the golf course, and guests who stay at either properties get a special golf rate. Reserve your stay and as a CuisinArt/Reef guest, GOLF is $100 per round from Now – April 30, 2020, with complimentary standard or deluxe rental clubs! ... that perk is in addition to a host of resort amenities, including world-class dining and the island's leading spa!

Scilly Cay is BACK!As we end 2019, it is with great happiness that we announce that Scilly Cay is BACK!
Set on a tiny island off of the coast of idyllic Island Harbour in East End Anguilla, Scilly Cay is a gem of a spot. Here, all you hear is the lapping of water and the rustling of palms. For lunch? Grilled entrées with fresh salad and cold drinks. Being stranded on a desert island could be tougher :-)
An Anguilla landmark, we cannot visit Scilly Cay without thinking of Mr. Eudoxie Wallace. The founder and original owner of Scilly Cay, Eudoxie is greatly missed since his passing in 2017. Today, his family continues to operate the beautiful island restaurant and carry on the legacy Eudoxie established over 30 years ago. Cheers to Scilly Cay and the Wallace family.
That's all for now! Here's wishing you and your family a wonderful 2020. May it be the year of SEAing clearly!
Happy New Year from Anguilla,
