After seeing the beautifully renovated Malliouhana hotel on our last visit, I really wanted to stay there – and it certainly lived up to expectations.
It’s a lush and lovely property, filled with flowers and leafy palms, overlooking the ocean at the end of Meads Bay.
We chose a garden view room, which I really enjoyed since it was set away from the hustle and bustle of the main hotel building. It felt quiet and private, and I didn’t miss the ocean (since we get plenty of that on the beach!).
My only complaint about our room was that the hammock/chaises on the balcony were set on rockers, making it a test of nerves for me to climb on or off without feeling like a cat on a tightrope.
Malliouhana has two beaches, the main one on Meads Bay and a more secluded one on the far side of the hotel at Turtle Cove, where we huddled under our umbrella during a surprise downpour.
As is the case everywhere in Anguilla, the people are wonderfully nice at the Malliouhana – friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure to stay there.
