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.

Shoal Bay’ office, owners and cleaning teams make the experience. The units are clean, ac in bedroom and living room. The sunsets are gorgeous. Beach location phenomenal . Lots of great food spots nearby to walk to and short drive away. Look forward to staying again.

First time here. Quite surprised at lack of amenities at this resort. No on-site restaurant, bar or even vending machines. Also no grocery stores or convenience stores within walking distance. Resort itself is quite good with private beach and is reasonably well maintained. Staff is also very friendly

My sisters and I stayed at Shoal Bay Villas the end of May in 2023. I forgot to write a review at the time but I liked it so much that my husband and I are going back next May for our 50th anniversary trip.|One of the very best things about Anguilla is the people and everyone we came in contact with at Shoal Bay was exceptional. They were helpful and friendly and did everything they could to make our stay wonderful. We love the fact that each Villa came with its own kitchen. We stayed in one of the upper villas in the back of the property mainly because that was all that was available when we made our reservations, but even there you could see the water and hear the birds. The beach is outstanding and you get an assigned lounge chairand umbrella. so you never have to worry about having a place to sit. From the hotel, you can walk to about 10 different places to eat. Parking at the place is quite convenient. if you don’t feel like going in the ocean, they have a very nice swimming pool. I am so excited to be going back.

Second trip to Anguilla. Second time at Shoal Bay Villas! Next trip already in the planning! Amazing staff. The best beach! Great food within walking and again the BEST BEACH! Rooms are comfortable! Everything you need! Oh and you can get onsite spa services!

Last year, my wife and I made our first trip to Anguilla. We stayed at the Aurora, which is an excellent, top-notch, first-class property with exceptional service. Wanting to explore the island, we rented a car and traveled all over, visiting different beaches and checking out some of the hotels and villas we had considered during our initial research. My wife and I are beach lovers; we especially enjoy beautiful, west-facing beaches for sunsets. One day, we decided to visit Zemi Beach House. We pulled up to the property and walked down the hill to Shoal Bay Beach. We were overwhelmed by how beautiful the beach was compared to Rendezvous Bay, where the Aurora is located. Don’t get me wrong—Rendezvous Bay is stunning, but Shoal Bay rivals some of the beaches on St. John. It also has a natural reef surrounding the entire bay, so the water is usually quite calm. While walking along the beach, we discovered Elodia's Beach Shack. We loved it so much that we decided to spend the remainder of our five days there. During our visits, we noticed a charming villa next door called Shoal Bay Villas. Intrigued, we went to the front desk and asked to tour the property. The beachfront villas were absolutely spectacular. My wife and I have traveled extensively throughout the Caribbean, and there aren’t many places where you can walk straight out of your villa and be just steps from the beach. Not to mention, these villas come with their own kitchenette. Dining out is quite expensive on the island, so having the ability to prepare meals ourselves was a significant bonus. We also appreciated the privacy and the relaxed atmosphere compared to larger resorts. So this year we planned a 2 week stay at Shoal Bay Villas and I have to tell you, it was paradise. We loved it so much we extended our time for an additional 3 days, we didnt want to go back. lol If you are someone looking for simple beauty and dont need to be waited on, hand and fist, you’ve come to the right place. Dont get me wrong, if you need something, they will do everything to accommodate you, but you’re not going to get drink service on the beach, like you will at the Aurora. However, you have your own blenders to make your own or Elodias Beach Shack is right next door and they will bring drinks to you. Shoal Bay Villas is absolutely hands down one of the best and most beautiful places we’ve ever stayed and I would highly encourage you to book your next trip there. Just as long as you realize, if you need dining service or drink service, stay at one of the higher end properties like Aurora, Zemi, Cap Juluca or the 4 Seasons. If you are self sufficient and just want to relax in your beach chair, swim, snorkel and watch a beautiful sunset from that chair. You have arrived Home.

Another wonderful stay at SBV. I had the first floor beach front studio. I loved it. Freshly renovated with light, airy decor. The rooms are always spotless and well equipped. I was assigned a beach umbrella. The beach itself is one of the most beautiful in the Caribbean, and I’ve been to many islands. The people of Anguilla are the most friendly of all the Islands I have visited in the last 30 years. Thank you again to the wonderful staff at SBV. You definitely are doing something right.
