the staff were very friendly and accommodating

the extra taxes and fees

beautiful design and super friendly staff!!

I wish the breakfast was a little more reasonable.

Really beautiful property and the garden view room we stayed in was huge. Also, it had one of the largest bathrooms I have ever had on vacation. The food & staff was excellent!

Although the menu at the various restaurants were excellent, it felt limited after a couple of days and we ventured off property often.

The setting of the hotel is magical. Location can’t be beat. Interiors are stunning. Our room had a nice balcony overlooking Meads Bay. The staff was very friendly and they had fun characters. It wasn’t that polished as you see often in Asia, but more personal. Breakfast was great overlooking the water. Pastries divine. This isn’t a hotel for everyone as it has it own strong identity, but that’s what we love about it! We stayed before at the Four Seasons Anguilla and that was more like an extremely large conference hotel, although very good as well, but that hotel can be located everywhere in the world as it has no character at all!

Of our 5-day stay we had 5 days of rain (mid January), but that’s ofcourse not the fault of the hotel.

The location on Mead's Bay is fantastic, short walk to restaurants and bars (highly recommend Blanchard's sit down restaurant for dinners and Straw Hat for breakfasts). The Malliouhana property also has many beach areas (some private, some public) so you feel like you have different options everyday whether you want to lay out, snorkel, swim, etc. The options allow so you rarely bump into other guests and gain a sense of seclusion. The pool is amazing as well as the rooms. We stayed in an ocean view king and couldn't have been happier. Overall vibe of the property is very laid back and relaxing. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Andrea was very gracious upon check in and check out as were all of the gentlemen manning the entrance. Would recommend this hotel over others on the island due to location, atmosphere, and scenery. This hotel feels natural, as if it belongs in Anguilla, while others seem forced and out of place. Also, much different crowds per hotel. We stopped in other locations just to see for future visits (this is our 2nd time in Anguilla). Malliouhana is tranquil in comparison while others appeared stuffy and or pretentious. Just depends what you're looking for but we prefer the casual elegance of Malliouhana by far. When we return we will definitely be staying at this property again for all of these reasons and more. PS - contact Andy through insta and rent yourself a moke! Best way to tour the island and not much more than a rental car. Hassle free drop off and pick up at the hotel, well worth it. @Malliouhana, you should consider making Moke rentals a staple of your property for your guests, just sayin ;).

I wouldn't say there was anything I didn't like but I would recommend more lay flat loungers at the adult pool. Really only 4 loungers that lay flat and they are first come first serve. At the least, replace the fixed loungers in the water to be lay flat loungers to provide more space for those looking to sun in the adult pool area. Outside of the adult pool there are plenty of lounger options. Other than that, everything was perfect!
