Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club

We stayed at Aurora Anguilla in July for my birthday with our four-year-old daughter and had such a wonderful family experience. I cannot believe I am only getting around to writing this review! We stayed on the Rendezvous side, and the property is absolutely immaculate. Beautiful, serene, and incredibly well cared for. From the moment we arrived, the thoughtful touches stood out. Our daughter was welcomed with the sweetest little stuffed animal, which she absolutely loved, and there were lovely birthday surprises waiting for us in the room. Then our trip took an unexpected turn. Our daughter became sick, and the Aurora team went above and beyond to arrange for a physician to come directly to our room. As a physician myself, this was incredibly helpful. She was able to get the right medication quickly and was soon feeling well enough to enjoy the rest of the trip. Of course, in true family fashion, she eventually shared her illness with me, so I spent my actual birthday in bed! Not exactly what I had planned, but the kindness of the Aurora team made even that experience special. I wish I could remember the names of the lovely ladies who took such good care of me. They brought me a hot toddy and then went above and beyond by preparing a special island natural remedy for me. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and it genuinely helped. I will never forget that kindness. As both a physician and a luxury travel advisor, I pay close attention to the details of a guest experience. A beautiful property is one thing, but the way a team responds when something unexpected happens is what truly distinguishes a luxury resort. Aurora Anguilla absolutely delivered. I also had the opportunity to visit the property as part of a site visit, and it only reinforced how special this resort is. The immaculate grounds, beautiful beaches, accommodations, wellness offerings, dining, and family-friendly touches all come together beautifully. The service is warm, intuitive, and genuinely personal. I loved our experience so much that my sister and brother-in-law are heading to Aurora Anguilla next month for their anniversary. I cannot think of a better endorsement than wanting the people you love to experience a place for themselves. Thank you to the entire Aurora team for taking such wonderful care of our family and making my birthday memorable, even when the trip took an unexpected turn. The little details really do make all the difference, and those are the moments you remember long after you leave the island.

This resort has the only golf courses on Anguilla, the International Course designed by Greg Norman, and the executive/par-three Avalon course. Even during the low season, the International Course’s greens fees are substantial, as are the cart rental fees. However, based upon the resort’s website, we attempted to book an August 2026 tee time for the International Course. The first red flag was that emails of 7/13/26 and 7/16/26 to golf operations, specifically to Warrecia, went completely ignored, which inquired about the specifics of greens fees, cart/club rentals, and tee times. I finally ended up calling the course and a gentleman in the pro shop handled things. When we arrived at the course on August 12 at about 2:00 PM, the young woman in the pro shop could not have been more bored and disinterested with everyone she was dealing with. At least I think she managed to mumble “Thank you” to my group after we made a purchase. The rental clubs were outstanding, including Scotty Cameron putters. The electric carts and practice range were excellent as well. However, the condition of the course was so far below what is depicted on the resort’s website that it would have been almost funny, except for the round’s expense. The course’s water hazards were in actuality all half-empty large holes with fully exposed black plastic linings, so that the hazards all looked like some sort of huge, abandoned swimming pools in serious need of attention. Unfortunately, those half-empty pits are found in many areas of the course. In general, the fairways also had far too many areas which were in poor shape, although the greens were overall in very good condition. The golf cart attendant at the end of the round was polite and professional. To put it bluntly, the experience was grossly overpriced and plainly not what is portrayed in the resort’s website. It is really unfortunate, as the design of the course, including the spectacular layout of the 10th hole, could have resulted in a remarkable round. If the excuse is going to be that it was the low season, that does not explain poor service or the lofty greens fees being charged for a course that looked and played the way it does.

Beautiful resort wonderful staff peaceful beautiful location appreciated the natural setting. Rendezvous beach is truly beautiful.
