Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club

From the staff, Tavern, Junis and Justin Time to the beaches , was a beautiful relaxing experience!! We loved this place so much that we will be visiting every year!! Ask for our friends Tavern and Junis and you will not be dissatisfied. Loved them!! Anguilla is magical!

My boyfriend and I spent a fantastic week at Aurora the week before Christmas. This was our first time on Anguilla and we definitely would come back based on our experience. We stayed in the Merrywing tower and while the beach on our side of the property was noticeably less nice than Rendezvous, it was super easy to take the shuttle to get to the other side of the property. Pools and lounge areas on both sides were very nice and we did enjoy being so close to the tennis and water park facilities on the Merrywing side. Our room was massive and daily cleaning and turn down service were top notch. Everything felt very clean and well cared for. From stocking the room with multiple bottles of filtered water every day to the slippers left bedside for you when you came back from dinner, the staff knew how to make guests feel comfortable! My only complaint is the food. It was incredibly expensive and mediocre at best. I will note that My boyfriend and I live in NYC so are accustomed to a very high standard of food quality, but for such an expensive property, we were surprised by the lackluster options. We tried multiple restaurants on the property and none of them felt like a food value except for the Mexican night at Breezes which we did thoroughly enjoy. We ended up eating our favorite meals of the trip at Four Seasons and Cap Juluca - both of which were not any more expensive than the options at Aurora. Despite being disappointed by the on-property food, Aurora gave us just what we wanted - a restful week in the sun on a beautiful beach with lots of great amenities.

This place knows how to make your birthday month special for sure! From the Front Desk, and Concierge everyone was amazing. Oh, and how could I forget... Justin Time! He made the trip easy, took pcitures, and showed me some amazing views of the golf course!

We have stayed here 4 other times and this trip was excellent.The rooms on the beach are beautiful and completely redone.The excellent friendly staff makes you very comfortable.The resort’s restaurants are very good & convenient.Our only negative was that they wouldn’t include a complimentary breakfast with our room

Large resort property divided into 3 sections with plenty of helpful staff. The grounds and public areas are all well-maintained, comfortable, and lovely. There are shuttles to take you everywhere on the property. The Rendezvous and Merrywing sections have beaches, large swimming pools,  hot tubs,  and restaurants.  The Rendezvous side has a deeper , more comfortable , hot tub ; nicer beaches ; more restaurants; the spa; and a larger gym.  The Merrywing side is close to the entertainment park, and at breakfast, it was either room service or the buffet. There were a la carte breakfast options on the Rendezvous side. Note: There are different promotions for "breakfast included." Some promotions just cover $25pp. The breakfast buffet for two without alcoholic beverages is $99. At all the facilities,  they provided sunscreen at a variety of SPFs. In the middle is the golf center, a bar with a nice daily happy hour, and the D Richards steakhouse. We stayed in the Merrywing tower. Our room was spotless and cleaned daily. We had a fabulous , large ocean-view double room. The double included 2 beds, not queens, and just one nightstand. The sheets and pillows were soft, the beds were comfortable.  Note: There are no balcony rooms in the tower. The closet was large and included a safe. This was one of the few times I didn't have to request extra hangers. The bathroom was large with a big tub, double sink, and spacious shower. One negative to the room was that there was no door separating the toilet from the rest of the bathroom.  Amenities included house-brand bar and liquid soap, conditioner,  shampoo,  and moisturizer. The conditioner wasn't great at detangling my hair, and there was no indication as to whether the products were good for color-treated hair. The hairdryer was adequate. Complimentary bottles of water and coffee were included and replenished at turndown. Upon request, they brought a kettle and a variety of teas. Engineering provided an extension cord to help connect my Firestick,  though Netflix and Amazon were preloaded on the TV with an easy option to delete your credentials at checkout. There were no chocolates on our pillows, but the first night, they provided a lavender mist to aid with sleep with turndown service. We tried to take advantage of most of the included activities. Some were scheduled at the same time, so we couldn't do them all and none were scheduled in the afternoon. Note to hotel: please add afternoon yoga. The pickleball clinic was great! The bus tour of the island including rum punch was fun.  There were 3 people in the very tough boot camp class and 4 in the gentle yoga class we took. We enjoyed seeing a movie in the amphitheater; we were surprised there were so few people. In fact, the week ending 12/13 might be the best week to visit, as there were so few people here.  At all the restaurants, including breakfast, the food was fresh and varied. In our full week here, there were only 3 occasions where we saw more than 10 people doing the same thing as us- the double decker bus tour, lobster night, and dinner at Tokyo Bay. Our favorite restaurant on the property was D Richards. Watching British Chef Simone make steak Diane and the meal itself was one of the highlights of our visit. Watching  the sunset at happy hour at The Cut Above  was also quite nice. While all the staff were more than willing to go out of there way to make our stay special, the coaches at the pickleball facility stood out. As you probably know, prices are high for everything.  Expect to pay about $100 for lunch for two with 2 drinks and more for dinner. I considered paying extra for private pickleball sessions, but I felt the price was exorbitant. I expected mosquitoes.  They even provide Off in the room. There weren't any! We did have quite a bit of wind and a little rain each day. We booked through Delta Vacations, not directly with the hotel; yet after checkout, reception noticed us waiting for our car service and volunteered to reachout to the driver and confirm our ferry time too. We really appreciated the exceptional service and are already thinking about our return visit.
