Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club

Aurora Anguilla is a beautiful, quiet location. The beaches are pristine! The food, at all locations on the property, was excellent! The accommodations were awesome! The facility is so clean! The golf course is beautiful! The entire staff is so friendly and accommodating. Every employee we met was super friendly. We had a hiccup with our room upon check in but the staff, including the manager, Naveem Kumar, made changes to satisfy us. Justin Time, client services, was excellent! Justin offered his services to give us a tour of the massive property and personally kept a check on us throughout our entire stay. We stayed at the property over New Years Eve and enjoyed the special menu at D Richard's that night as well as the fireworks display and band at the amphitheater on property. We will definitely return to Aurora Anguilla and hope Justin Time will greet us again!!

Kinda long review as this is the info I look for when researching! My family (2 boys ages 6 and 9) and I stayed at Rendezvous this past week at the tail end of festive season for a few nights (we then moved to Four Seasons on the other side of the island) ROOMS: We shared an ocean front junior suite - 1 king bed and 2 rollaway cots. I was worried at first but it still left plenty of room for the sitting area. The rooms are quite large and offers a good size balcony. Tip - the ground floor doesn’t really go directly on to the beach. There is some shrubbery between you and the beach, we were happy to be on the 2nd floor for the view. Really I would have preferred the 3rd floor. SERVICE: We are used to top notch service (Four Seasons, Rosewood, Montage..) so we were expecting that from reading reviews before coming. It was for sure hit or miss. The front desk was spectacular. The beach staff was just as amazing. The pool staff was eh (I shouldn’t have to ask for my chair to be made up and ask for towels). The food at both Merrywing and Rendezvous was outstanding, the service was a bit slow but very attentive. KID STUFF: We of course did the water park as this was the reason for staying at Aurora. It was a hit for both my boys. They didn't step foot into the kids club that was next to the water park but did take advantage of playing soccer on the field with other kids all the times we were there. Unfortunately, since this area was a 5-10 minute shuttle ride away from the hotel and beach, we were stuck hanging out at the water park while they played. We prefer staying places where the kids club is attached so the kids can freely go back and forth from beach, pool, kids club all on their own. This was a big down side for us.There is a playground and an incredibly large splash pad on the grounds of rendezvous. BEACH and POOL: The beach was of course spectacular. One of the guys working the water sports took my husband and son out on a hobby cat to do snorkeling. The pool is small but it was never crowded. The beach and pool are quite near to each other so it makes it easy to bop back and forth. Something we like as well in case one kids wants beach and the other pool. FOOD: There is a walkable lunch spot on the beach (sunshine shack) but otherwise you’ll need a taxi (bring lots of cash - they do not take credit card and they are expensive. You can charge back to the room for a fee) if you want to eat off property. The food was so good on site that we didn’t care to leave. We didn't have a bad meal at Merrywing or Rendezvous. All in all we had a wonderful time. We are glad we stayed half the trip here and moved to another property, was great to experience another side of the island.

My family and I had a truly fantastic time at Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed, relaxed, and well taken care of. The resort itself is stunning with its gorgeous beaches and beautiful grounds What made our stay truly unforgettable were the incredible people who went above and beyond for us. Justin Time, Morise (Maurice?), and Elbert were absolutely amazing. Their friendliness, attention to detail, and genuine warmth made such a difference in our experience. They are a big reason we already want to come back next year. We couldn’t recommend Aurora Anguilla more!

Aurora Anguilla has just set a new bar for future vacations for us! Note to Management / Ownership: You have a beautiful setting; it is a phenomenal location with picturesque views. With that being said, there are many places in the Caribbean that are picturesque. What made this a phenomenal experience was the staff. So let’s start there. Jessica greeted us at the ferry, despite our flight being delayed. She guided us to the car to ensure a safe, pleasant experience. We got in at around 7pm, so it was to see a staff member meet us at the ferry. Our check-in experience with Melany was very nice; she was warm and very professional, which is what you expect from a luxury hotel. As mentioned, the resort is immaculate and well maintained. There are plenty of staff around who are willing to help out; they are a very engaged group; the resort is blessed to have employees who care so much! We had one minor issue with the safe and that was rectified within 20 minutes. The food options were plentiful with the highlights being Tokyo Bay for my wife, and D. Richard’s for myself. I had the wagyu beef burger on both occasions and it was probably the best burger I have ever had. We managed to have a meal at every restaurant, and all of them were solid. My least favourite meal was the Mexican buffet, only because I was already full from a late lunch - that was my problem! I did go out on a fishing expedition with Marlin and it was a great experience. It was just me on the fishing trip, so we had some pretty solid conversations about the NBA (although we have allegiances to different teams lol). He is a master navigator of the sea and an overall great person! We did take my four year old daughter and it was her first time at a resort. The staff made her feel like a princess. Jermaine was amazing with her, going above and beyond multiple times. We also took the bus tour of the island and Jermaine was the driver and Jessica was our tour guide. To navigate a double decker bus in tight corners is tough, especially getting around the resort; there is little margin for error. Jermaine made it look ridiculously easy. Jessica shared a lot of knowledge about Anguilla with us during the tour. The care and attention she provided was apparent. I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank Dean, the chef at the breakfast buffet on the Rendezvous Side, who also went above and beyond for my daughter. Richard, the groundskeeper, also made our experience feel memorable, bringing us fresh coconuts on a couple of occasions, which were a highlight for my wife and daughter. Also, shout outs to the shuttle staff, we never had to wait for long. We also had some memorable conversations with Justin! The highlight for my daughter and myself, other than the staff of course, was the water park. We went everyday and stayed for hours. Again, another person who made our experience memorable at the water park was Trishauna. She was always available to help us out when we needed. She was also great with our daughter, who loved her virgin piña coladas. Thank you to Trishauna for her kindness and professionalism. Overall, the trip met our expectations for a luxury resort, and may have also ruined our future plans as this will be the new bar for comparison. It is not the cheapest place to vacation, but we did get what we paid for and more. We do like to try out new places, however, we do one day hope to return to Aurora Anguilla!

WOW! Crystal clear ocean water. Beautiful views. Great food and drinks while you dig your toes into the best sand I’ve ever had under my feet. (I’m a world traveling surfer, so I know beaches and sand) Golf on an excellent course with spectacular views as well…all nothing short of AMAZING! From the moment we arrived, MIRELLE took care of all our needs. From booking dinners, activities and putting up with our 11 person family, she is worth her weight in diamonds and gold! THANK YOU! Truly. To SAMARO who works in all the restaurants on property. Thank you for always checking in on us. He is a VERY busy guy, but ALWAYS has time for personal conversation’s. A truly caring and special man. THANK YOU! To RAYMOND, SHERMAN and JAHVADE who always kept the drinks and laughter flowing, but also caring enough to keep you hydrated as well. You all were a blast to hang with! THANK YOU! This place and people are so special that, (and this is no joke) if these people mentioned above ever make it stateside, they have a place to stay with me and my family forever. I can’t say I’ve ever felt that way about staff after a vacation. Aurora, you have outdone yourselves and have helped to create life long memories for me and my family. Again, THANK YOU!
