Zemi Beach House, LXR Hotels & Resorts

While I enjoyed my trip while I was there, there are several reasons why I will not return. First of all, there is a 2% tax that you will be charged at arrival. This was not disclosed to me at check-in and upon calling Chase Travel, this tax is not disclosed to booking agents who sell hotels/airfare and state that all taxes and fees are included. Note this is not disclosed anywhere on Expedia, Amex travel, etc who all quote prices inclusive of taxes and fees and explicitly note which fees, if any, will be charged and collected at check-in. When I noticed this erroneous charge on my credit card statement, I had to contact the hotel to find out what this charge was for as it was not included in my hotel folio at check out (with meals and services) nor was I given a receipt for the charge. Secondly, the beach directly on site is rough. The water was rough and the sand was not soft. My group had to walk down towards Madeariman’s to enjoy the beach where the waves were calmer and the sand was much more tolerable. The hotel staff were warm and lovely so I don’t fault them at all. The evening entertainment and quality of drinks/food were also great (but the breakfast was just okay and not worth it IMO). However, these two issues alone are enough for me to not return. It’s completely unacceptable to discover additional taxes are not included nor disclosed at the time of booking and given this is a beach resort, the beach was less than ideal.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about the Zemi Beach House and my Anguilla experience. I’ll be back in December 2025, as my forth visit. Paulo, the GM and his extraordinary staff pay attention to detail and have the safety / enjoyment of everyone in mind. It’s become my home away from home. Shoal Beach is the best beach on the island offering walking, exploring and trying some dining options as short walk up from the property. It’s not surprising that Anguilla has been rated one of the safest/best islands in the Caribbean. The people, culture and places like the Zemi Beach House are all part of that magic! Great job and can’t wait to be back! Rob

It just doesn’t get any better. I love Anguilla. The laid back vibe and friendly people. The absolutely stunning beaches and fantastic food. But Zemi makes it even better. Quiet luxury with fabulous service. The property is gorgeous and has character, unlike, the larger resorts. This was my 5th stay and we will be back. The spa is second to none (thank you, Indri). We love to lounge by the pool, steps from the ocean and the service from T, Hector, Kit Kit and Chino is personal. The very best, though, is Michael - he has been there for years and you can truly feel the difference when he’s off. His genuine desire to make our days special is such a big part of why we come back. Pay him well and keep him, promote him! Already searching dates for a trip next year.

This resort is beautifully placed on Shoal Bay. My wife and I traveled here with minimal knowledge or plans but it was perfect. A small resort with alot of offer. We stayed on the hotel side of the resort so we did experience some late night and early morning door slamming but this was not the resort or staffs fault. They offer nightly service for whatever you need. The beach setup is wonderful, with first come first serve chairs and umbrellas. They do allow children however this was not your typical "family resort" everyone was respectful of your space with no screaming kids or issues. Highly recommend for a peaceful trip.

We stayed here as a couple for 4 nights and loved every minute! The beach is the most beautiful I’ve seen and the staff remembered us each morning and already had our favorite beach chairs set up by the time we came down in the morning. It’s also really nice that you can walk down the beach to some restaurants like Gwen’s and Madeariman. I really liked that this hotel is in the smaller side and not a massive resort factory like you find often in beach locations. The only negative I could think of was that the bed was one of the most uncomfortable I’ve ever slept on. I’m not sure if this was just unique to our room, but it just felt old and saggy.
