Zemi Beach House, LXR Hotels & Resorts

We stayed at Zemi for one night and honestly wished we had spent our entire vacation there instead. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was unmatched. Charisma at the front desk specifically made us feel so welcomed. Once I mentioned that we were married and that my passport still reflected my maiden name, she immediately updated the reservation for us. Seeing how quickly it was changed and having everyone greet us by our married last name made such a thoughtful and personal impression. And on top of that what an incredible singer she is! We even stopped by Leon’s to hear her perform, and she still greeted us by name with the same warm smile. Everyone at the hotel, from the gardeners to housekeeping to the bar staff, was genuinely kind, hospitable, and welcoming. Every interaction felt warm and sincere, and so many staff members took the time to share local recommendations with us, which made our stay feel even more special. Zemi truly made us feel cared for, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip.

This review would have been a 5 out of 5 except for one reason . We witnessed the General Manager Paulo berating one of the female managers while sitting eating lunch . It was disrespectful and appalling. The rest of the stay was top notch. . The staff could not be more great and friendly . The beach and the place was top notch .

I’m writing this while sitting on a beach chair overlooking the ocean at Zemi Beach House, which feels fitting because this resort is really all about slowing down and relaxing. Although it was only a short four-night trip, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The resort itself is beautiful and very well landscaped, with a peaceful atmosphere that never felt crowded. One thing I especially appreciated was the beach setup. The lounge chairs were comfortable, and unlike many resorts, they were generous with umbrellas. If you value shade and a more relaxed beach experience without chair hogging or people rushing out early to claim spots, this is a great place to stay. Breakfast was an excellent start to each morning with plenty of options and consistently good service. We booked a garden view room but still had partial ocean views, which was a nice surprise. My husband and I tried almost every restaurant on the property except the sushi restaurant, and every meal was delicious and beautifully presented. There was live entertainment each evening, but it stayed low-key and wrapped up around 9:30 p.m., which suited us perfectly. Guest services was also wonderful. They helped arrange both a rental car and our airport transportation, and everyone we encountered at the resort and on the island as a whole was incredibly friendly. Anguilla may honestly be the friendliest island I’ve visited. The beach at Zemi is beautiful, with gorgeous shades of turquoise and coral-blue water. For me personally, the waves were a little stronger than I prefer. I found Rendezvous Bay calmer and more shallow, which better matches the type of beach experience I enjoy. My only real negative was the mosquitoes. I probably killed five or six in our room during the stay, and I ended up with several bites after dinner the first night. The resort did provide bug spray when we asked, which definitely helped. Overall, this was a wonderful birthday trip, and I would absolutely return to Zemi Beach House.

Our stay at Zemi Beach House was exceptional from start to finish. The property is luxurious, immaculately clean, and the level of hospitality is truly off the charts. As a former General Manager and admittedly a hotel snob, I can confidently say this is the best property I have ever stayed at. Pablo and his entire team created an experience that felt both elevated and genuinely warm. Special recognition to Charnissa and Hector, who went above and beyond throughout our stay. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, service was seamless, and the culture of hospitality here is something very special. The beach is incredible! The breakfast is delicious. Our wedding vow renewal was better than we ever expected. The resort itself is stunning, but what truly sets this property apart is the people. You can feel the pride, professionalism, and care in every interaction. We will absolutely be back.

It’s only been one day but our family is really enjoying our stay. There was a Zemi Beach House representative at the ferry who assisted us in getting a private transfer to the hotel (didn’t prebook this so it was a nice option). The welcome rum punch and fruit punch for the kiddo were delicious. Our garden view room has a sliver of an ocean view! We got a birthday surprise welcome in our room with a handwritten note that made our first day there very special. And as Hilton gold members, they’re upgrading our room today based on availability. (Previous Diamond reviews were disappointed on not being upgraded. Just want to add that they do upgrade if they can make it happen.) The beach in front of Zemi is heavenly! The sand is powdery soft and the water temperature was very warm. It truly is paradise! Food and drinks were also very good. Definitely get the lobster risotto at 20 Knots for dinner. The hotel room has anything you really need. The beds were super comfortable! And I got my extra pillows request within minutes. Turndown service has been seamless while out to dinner. Can’t wait to spend our next few days here and enjoy the spa and pool.
