We are a party of 5 that visited Sandy Hill Bay over the New Year holiday. It was myself, my husband, our two little girls ages 2 &5 and my 23yr old sister. We loved the apartment and would love to visit again. The booking process was very simple and Christine was easy to work with. We did have a slight mishap over a week period where Christine was having issues with her computer. We had rented the car that came along with the property but it seemed at the last minute, the car was unavailable. Christine did not hesitate and she jumped right into finding us another vehicle on the island. In my opinion the car is essential on Anguilla to get to experience everything. Upon arriving at the condo, Joyce, the manager came right over and showed us everything that we would need to know. She also gave us some great advice on some restaurants in the area as we had a very long day of traveling and the kids were starving! Joyce is so sweet that she even brought us some delicious hot sauce at the end of the week and took our addresses to send us more b/c my husband LOVED the hot sauce! The apartment had everything we needed and much more! There were extra spices and such needed for cooking in the pantry, toys for the kids to play with and plenty of artwork and Anguillan information to read. There is a full bathroom with shower in each bedroom and we had no problem washing off the girls without a tub. Showers actually worked better for them. There is A/C in each bedroom and they work great! At this time of year the pool would get sun in the morning so we would cook breakfast and have our coffee on the balcony overlooking the pool and ocean then let the girls swim for a little while before we would go explore the gorgeous beaches! After a few goes at it the island is very easy to navigate, people are so incredibly nice and we did not have a bad meal on the island! The food is delicious! We did have an issue with the wifi not working and we were unable to get a hold of anyone but we really didn't try too hard either. We were trying to stay off our phones anyway! At one point I did have to connect to home and the ladies at the office gave me their wifi and password so I could connect while near their office and that worked just fine! There is a supermarket, gas station and liquor store all nearby which worked out perfectly for us. Overall we had a wonderful stay at Christine's property on Sandy hill bay! Christine and Joyce were a pleasure!

First, the view of Sandy Hill Bay from our unit is a daily delight! The ocean is a bit rougher here than on more protected coves and the crashing waves made for excellent sleeping! There is a sandy beach in close proximity. The pool is nice and clean and the chaises are very comfy. The apartment had everything we needed and more. The bed was super-comfortable and the linens were of nice quality. Everything was clean and tidy. A laundry facility is on the premises and, on the shelves, there are numerous books for guests to enjoy. Our manager, Joyce, was amazing! She checked in with us daily to make sure we had everything we wanted from directions to shops to answers about the culture. Having the car with the rental was easy and, for us, essential. The unit is in a collection of 3 buildings on the south-east side of the island. Art galleries, shopping, and restaurants are sprinkled all over the island, so a car is a must. Driving is on the left, British-style, but the roads are generally not crowded and locals make accommodations for tourists. More about the locals: Anguillans are beautiful inside and out! They are a gentle, generous people, very helpful and kind. We look forward to coming back soon.

Anguilla is a beautiful island. Sandy Hill Club is a very quiet area with a salt water pool and a sandy beach at a 5 min walk away over rocky terrain (wear shoes). The unit has a shower, but no tub. The unit could use a deep cleaning. I did not like the bed as it was too soft for me, but my spouse did not seem to mind it. The children's bunk beds were much firmer. Overall, though, we did not spend much time in the unit because there are so many beautiful beaches to experience. We felt like this was a very safe area. There are laundry machines but they cost $4 to wash and $4 to dry, so we did not use them. Oddly, the umbrellas at the pool belong to the individual condo unit owners, and this particular unit did not come with an umbrella. FYI there is not any shade at the pool. We enjoyed our stay at Sandy Hill Club.

The beach condo. at Sandy Hill was as advertised. Christine was easy to work with. The unit was very nice, clean and comfortable. The condominium complex was very nice as well. Sandy Hill Bay is a wonderful spot. My family would definitely stay here again. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

From the time we arrived until the day we left, we met nothing but kind, helpful people who helped make this a wonderful stay. The condo itself was very clean and welcoming, everything in working order. When an issue cropped up, the owner and friends addressed it so quickly it genuinely surprised us. The location that let us walk to the grocery store is also a plus. Weather wise, we had some windy weather, which meant we saw only a couple of mosquitoes our entire stay, and it stayed comfortable enough that we'd only want AC for some nights. The walk to the beach always had something interesting to see. Personally loved the little "library" in the laundry! Keep in mind, it's a very low key, peaceful place. Exactly what we were looking for.

My mom and I had such an enjoyable stay at Shangrila Condo at Sandy Hill Bay Condos. Each day we enjoyed watching the sunrise from the balcony. After making coffee and breakfast in the condo kitchen, we spent mornings by the pool, and the other guests/owners staying at SHBC that we met there were so nice and welcoming. Many had been coming to this location for 10+ years! In the afternoons, we explored nearby beaches, and all were beautiful. Most evenings we cooked dinner at the condo to save on expenses. The unit has all the pots/pans/dinnerware you might need. The supermarket closest to the condo has a nice gluten-free section and organic milk and eggs, but a little light on fruits/veggies. We were able to supplement by stopping at other markets. Also, don't panic at the prices on the shelves, which are in Eastern Caribbean Dollars. You may pay a little more because it's an island, but we still found it cheaper than going out to eat. We did eat out one night at the Straw Hat Restaurant on Meads Bay, which was very nice and right on the beach. Another night we stopped for takeout at Ken's BBQ, which was delicious! We planned quiet and peaceful evenings for reading. You might bring along a DVD to watch if you like. We were able to stay up-to-date via the included Wi-Fi, which worked very well, with just a minor outage the last 24 hours. The queen-size bed is soft and comfortable, and the A/C is quite powerful. Christine (owner), Elaine (car rental), and Joyce (housekeeping) were so very welcoming, and we hope to come back to stay again soon.

This condo unit was much as advertised, the setting is gorgeous and the saltwater pool awesome. However, the biggest glitch occurred upon our arrival (via ferry) to Anguilla...CUSTOMS! We encountered big problems because we did not know the physical address. After numerous phone calls and a lot of hassle we were granted entry. The "rental car" has a hefty charge for insurance and drivers license but is a must. The grocery store was convenient and essential as there is nowhere nearby to eat. Joyce, the caretaker, is friendly and helpful and solved many problems. The islanders are the most friendly of anywhere I've been. If you are seeking solitude and serenity this is your place.

We stayed 10 days at Shangri-La on our first trip to Anguilla. I can't say enough about the owner Christine, she is very responsive, first with the booking, on the day before our arrival, the day of our arrival and she even txt me that there was going to be a boat race during our stay and she encouraged us to go watch which we did. The condo is well appointed, clean and we did not see a single bug or mosquito. We were there the first part of March and the wind did blow everyday so that may help with the mosquito's. As first timers on the island we spent each day going to a different part of the island and met many of the locals and many of the recurring visitors everyone is so very friendly, I know that we are on vacation but I sure wish our own country could be as friendly on a daily basis. We were told many times by the locals at restaurants, on the beach at bars "have a good time you are on vacation, welcome to Anguilla. The best part is that the owner provides a car with this property, a car is a must on this island to see all that it has to offer. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that there is no Restaurant or Bar nearby. I would recommend as an affordable way to stay on Anguilla.

This condo was perfect for an affordable vacation to an island that can be quite expensive. Marcela and Elaine met us at the ferry, we got the car and were on our way. The condo was clean, the balcony looks over the pool and the ocean, and the rest of the island was spectacular. Christine also had an extensive list of recommendations that were perfect for a relaxing vacation. There was also TV, Wi-Fi and a phone to make local calls and make reservations for dinner. We would definitely stay here again.
