Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club

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!

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!
