My wife and I arrived at Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club on Saturday, November 15, and we’ll be departing shortly. To say our experience has been 5-star would be an understatement.
From the moment ...My wife and I arrived at Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club on Saturday, November 15, and we’ll be departing shortly. To say our experience has been 5-star would be an understatement.
From the moment we reached the resort’s security gate to our warm greeting from bellman Kevin—who welcomed us by name as we stepped out of our taxi—everything felt seamless. Zenobia checked us into a beautifully appointed ocean-view suite on the 6th floor overlooking Rendezvous Bay and offered us refreshing rum punch cocktails and cool face towels, which were perfect after a long day of travel.
Resort ambassador Justin (“Time: Never too soon, never too late”) was exceptionally thoughtful and made sure we celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary to the fullest. One of the kindest gestures was a complimentary chilled bottle of Fearless rosé from Sonoma County—close to our home in Sacramento—along with six chocolate-covered strawberries.
The resort’s cleanliness was impeccable, from our spotless suite to every shared space we visited. The staff truly made our stay special—Ms. Zenique (“Sweet Z”) at the beach, Elbert who set me up with snorkeling gear, and Marlon who took me fishing twice in Rendezvous Bay, where we caught blue runners, white backs, lizard fish, and snooks. We also enjoyed memorable interactions with sisters Maureen and Joyce, Javed, Khiry, and Toni at D. Richards Steakhouse, where the vocalist Jeanette added to the ambiance. Our off-site dinner at Sharky’s was also fantastic, and it was a pleasure meeting the chef. Samora, our server at C-Level, was kind and efficient.
We stayed active with a round-trip bike ride between the Merrywing and Rendezvous sides of the property, plus workouts in the gym. The ride was quite a challenge—and left me a bit sore—but worth it for the views.
Nightly turndown service was always a welcome treat.
All of the eateries at Aurora were excellent. We enjoyed Breezes, Olivia’s Italian (including the morning buffet), C-Level, the Thursday night Lobster BBQ and fire show, and the pastries, smoothies, and ice cream from the café. We certainly ate enough delicious lobster and crayfish to last us the rest of the year.
Having visited Turks & Caicos twice, Anguilla is now making a strong case for being our favorite island in the Caribbean. We look forward to returning to relive and confirm this experience. Upon checkout, the lovely young woman at the desk even sent us off with parting rum punches for the ride to the airport.
Celebrating our anniversary the week before Thanksgiving was a bonus—the resort felt quiet, intimate, and almost exclusive, shared with just a handful of other couples and families we became familiar with over the week.Show More
