The hype
Guests are blown away by the architecture, the 'heavenly' beds, and the sunset views, but many note that service can be surprisingly hit-or-miss for the price point.
Four Seasons Anguilla
$1,100-1,600+/ noche
Reserva esto si You want the most polished, high-octane luxury resort on the island and don't mind paying a premium for 'scene' over 'seclusion'.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Stunning Kelly Wearstler design that feels like a modern art gallery on a cliff
- Three distinct pool vibes, including the adults-only Sunset Pool with killer views
- Direct access to two of Anguilla's best beaches: Barnes Bay and Meads Bay
Resumen rápido: It's less 'laid-back Caribbean' and more 'Beverly Hills goes to the beach'—impeccable, expensive, and buzzing with energy.
Reseñado por @Alexmatthews: I stayed in this oceanfront suite and it was pure magic. The wind on the terrace was strong, but having my own pool overlooking the turquoise water made it totally worth it. The bathroom felt like a private spa with all that stone. Honestly, I didn't want to leave.

Reality check
The 'resort fee' ecosystem is real here—expect $20+ cocktails and $50+ breakfast buffets before you even factor in the service charge.
- You thrive in a 'see and be seen' atmosphere with DJ beats by the pool
- You need a top-tier kids' club and family-friendly pools that don't feel childish
- You appreciate modern, high-design interiors over rustic island charm

5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'Green Hair' Incident: A guest reported their hair turning green in a plunge pool (likely algae treatment), which the hotel remedied with a salon credit.
💡The Doors: Entry doors to rooms are incredibly heavy and can be a struggle to open, especially with luggage.
💡Morning Brightness: Some bedrooms lack full blackout blinds, meaning you'll wake up with the sun whether you like it or not.
💡Golf Cart Roulette: The property is huge, and waiting for a buggy can take 15-20 minutes during rush hours.
💡The 'Resort Fee' Ecosystem: It's not just the room rate; expect a ~36% markup on every burger and beer due to taxes and service charges.
