Our First Time

by Eileen
(New Jersey)

Shoal Bay

Shoal Bay

We have visited other islands over the years. We were in St. Barths for a few when we heard of this island "Anguilla". We said, "Hey let's give it a try."

When we first arrived, the question was "what do we do?" But then our taxi driver drove us to Shoal Bay. We saw the water... Oh my God what a view! Our question was answered.

That was 20 years ago. We've been coming back ever since, staying at resorts and private homes, doing a little bit of everything. From fine foods to local foods, we love them all. Dancing, too (I agree Calvin is a good dancer!).

The warm friendships on the island bring me home to the States refreshed.

See you all in a few weeks,
xxx Eileen


Nori's Reply: You're right, Eileen! A trip to Anguilla is the best way to recharge the batteries. The island's warmth found in its people brings you home revived. The people's kind, inclusive nature has been a gift since moving here. Everyone is so warm and welcoming. They have made our move to the island that much smoother! :-)

Our 12th trip. Wouldn't go anywhere else in the Carib. Johnno's was the biggest disappointment. 2 waitresses for 60 unfed customers at dinner on Sun. night. Might be a better lunch spot if open.Mexican restaurant on south end the best!!Picante.Stay at Turtles Nest-again super spot. Can't beat the people. Making our plans for next year.Try day trip on Chocolat.

First Trip to Anguilla?
by: Anonymous

Ethan,

It all depends. Some people stay at Cap Juluca the whole time. Others rent a jeep and bump over every back road they can. My family did the latter and visited every beach.

I highly recommend Cheddie's new restaurant, Klassik. Great food and inexpensive. If you like high-end restaurants, Trattoria Tramonto.

There's so much to recommend. Have fun!
