Belmond Cap Juluca

If you love the beach this is the best hotel on the Island. If you are a pool person like me it’s the 4th best hotel at best.

The hotel is ideally located on a long half-moon crescent of beach and doesn’t leave anything to be desired. Great architecture, good food, four different restaurants, very private and quiet. I would like to point out the quality of the service, which is truly exceptional. Not only were our comfortable, heavy beach beds loaded onto a van and transported to a spot of beach where the ocean was easier to access, but when I left two items behind on leaving, they were shipped by air to St. Barth at no cost. Another five-star hotel we stayed at in the US refused to forward something we had left in the room even though we asked that the cost be debited to our credit card!! The only weakness are the two swimming pools, which are relatively small and shallow and not up to standard.

We chose Cap Juluca for our honeymoon and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. The staff was detail-oriented and service focused, the dining, facilities and location were amazing and the beach itself is breathtaking. Ask for Deandre as a villa host, chat with Priscilla each morning at breakfast, do the champagne sabering and speak with Gopi in the evenings and go to Cip’s and ask for Miguel. What an experience. We’ll be back for future anniversaries!

For my wife's 50th birthday, we decided to celebrate it at Cap Juluca. We have visited several Caribbean islands in the past, but had never been to Anguilla, which was on her Bucket List. I picked Cap Juluca based on the online reviews I had read. What a brilliant idea that was! We arrived 2 days before her birthday and stayed 8 nights total. Everywhere we went on the property before and even days after her big day, the staff celebrated and wished her well. On the evening of her day, the staff helped me pull off a perfect surprise "Dinner Under the Stars". It was magical. Now to the resort itself - it is a wonderful place with a very pleasing aesthetic and immensely relaxing vibe. The rooms are spacious, well-lit, and clean. The staff is very caring and attentive. The resort sits at Maundays Bay on the southwest part of the island, and the beach there is absolutely breathtaking. The white buildings on that white, sandy beach contrast beautifully against the stunning turquoise water of the bay. The food at all four restaurants on the resort is exquisite. The view of the bay during the complimentary breakfast is a reason to have breakfast every morning. And I’ll make time to join the staff and other guests for “Savoring” every day at 6 pm. Please visit if you can. You won’t regret it.

We recently returned from a stay at Cap Juluca and had a wonderful experience. The property is beautiful, the beach is truly exceptional, and the service from the staff was consistently warm and welcoming. We always felt safe and well taken care of, and the complimentary water activities like paddleboarding were a great touch that made it easy to enjoy the beach without additional fees. Our room itself was spacious, comfortable, and in a stunning location with gorgeous views. The setting of the resort is truly special and it’s easy to understand why so many people return. The only issue we encountered is related to sound insulation between rooms. Our room had adjoining doors on both sides (which we understand may allow the resort to combine rooms into larger villas). Unfortunately, the doors allowed a surprising amount of sound to pass through. We could clearly hear conversations, alarms, coughing, and other normal room noise from neighboring guests. Overall we had a lovely visit and would absolutely consider returning. The beach, the setting, and the kindness of the staff made it a memorable trip. Addressing the sound insulation between adjoining rooms would elevate the experience even further and better match the otherwise exceptional standard of the resort.
