Zemi Beach House, LXR Hotels & Resorts

My wife and I had a phenomenal experience at Zemi. We stayed for 10 nights and everything and everyone we encountered exceeded our expectations. There was great communication from the resort before we arrived, and we were greeted by a hotel rep. who helped get a taxi for us. Arrival at the hotel reminded me of Fantasy Island - we were welcomed with drinks and then given a golf cart tour of the property. As a Diamond member, we were upgraded to an ocean view room. I was not expecting to be upgraded because of the length of our stay. The room and the amenities were spectacular. Because of the small number of rooms, you did not have to get to the pool/beach early to reserve a prime spot.. I loved the fact that you were not nickel and dimed to reserve a cabana or shaded location. In addition, free sunscreen (SPF50) was available for everyone to use, and everyday an ice bag with bottled water was delivered to your location. Food/Gym/Spa experiences were all top notch. 2 tings to be aware of: there are no ATM's readily available, so remember to bring plenty of cash for the taxi/tipping. If you'd like, you can place gratuities on your account and pay with your credit card; however, remember to place them on your account PRIOR to checking out. Also, while it was not a problem, I did receive a few mosquito bites but never saw any mosquitos. They did have insecticide available, but I prefer not to put those chemicals on my body. Had i remembered, I would have brought some natural mosquito repellant with me. Finally, the staff was amazing! Thank you to: Jovecia, Jehiel, Tiffany,, Yennifer, Shameka, Hector, Janelle, Uniqua, Eulalia, Patrick, Brenique, Deanna (and everyone I may have left out)! They all were the kindest people we have ever met, and they were the reason why our stay was exceptional. We can't wait to return!!!!!

What is there not to like about this place. Quality, Cleanliness, Customer Service, Landscaped Gardens, Facilities, Location, as in being sat on the most amazing beach. Very well presented food served at all restaurants. Definitely worth saving up for and giving yourself a treat. Top notch in all aspects.

My stay was nothing short of outstanding! This is our fifth trip to this property, and there are many reasons why we keep coming back. The staff is outstanding here; each and every staff member greets you warmly and looks directly into your eyes. The service is outstanding, best on the island, and I have stayed at some of the island's other five-star resorts. We constantly interact with management here, and they stay on top of everything and pitch in to make sure every detail is taken care of. We got back last week, and I wanted to take time to write a detailed review. We checked in to a warm reception and were told that all the rooms in our booking category were fully booked. What followed was nothing short of living out a dream! We were given an upgrade to a penthouse with two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a full kitchen, a rooftop pool, a huge living room with vaulted ceilings, and incredible views! The staff had no idea, but I lost my mom two weeks prior to this trip. This upgrade was an incredible gift to me, helping me recharge and lift my spirits. Thank you, Paola, the General Manager; Raquel, the room manager; the girls at the front desk; Vernesha; and the crew. This hotel has approximately 86 rooms, and the views and beach are gorgeous. The staff is second to none. We loved our restaurant staff, including Stacey, Mavis, and the rest. Whitney, our girl on the omlet station, was a perfect way to start the day. The pool and beach staff, especially Hector, Uniqua, Michael, Anthony, and the rest of the staff, took incredible care of us each day. We dined at Stones, 20 knots, and also attended the lobster BBQ. The $85 cost was incredible, and we loved the many options, including all the homemade salads and desserts. Entertainment is always outstanding. Anguilla has eliminated the additional 15 percent GST on food, a welcome change. Spa: I had an amazing 80-minute spa treatment with Petal. It is well worth the splurge. She was incredible, and I walked out feeling renewed. All the staff at the spa do a tremendous job. My only hiccup was not being greeted at the Ferry port. Small detail, we took an available taxi and were on the property quickly. The hotel will make booking arrangements for you ahead of time. I highly recommend Fun Times; we had a bad experience with the staff at Calypso last year. Captain Alan, you rock. We went off property to a few restaurants we love, including Blanchard's, Straw Hat, Veya, Sharky's, and Tasty's. We even got to go to the Blanchard's Beach Shack for lunch this trip. We liked them all! I am confused reading a negative comment here; it has definitely been five trips here, and there have never been any issues. I do appreciate having a sense of security, and I may be questioned about my room number. A few mornings, we were asked for our room number and then down by the beach as well. It's not about being sensitive; it's about being safe and ensuring that those staying at the resort don't have to worry about anyone who doesn't belong at the hotel engaging in criminal activity or taking prime-view chairs. Ask me anytime for my room number and my name! I have happy to answer. Thanks again, Zemi, for my annual trip. We have already booked next year and are counting the days until we return.

What an amazing experience. Staff are super friendly and beach is gorgeous. Received an amazing upgrade. Food was delicious and close walks to local restaurants.

My new favorite place on Earth. A wonderful resort with the best employees of any place I’ve ever stayed and the greenest water I’ve ever seen. It’s great to be able to snorkel right off the beach - I’ve seen some comments from people about the water being rough sometimes and that was our case, since the north facing each was impacted by the fish weekend ice/snow storms causing swells which reacted with the reef. We walked down to the edge of the reef and the water was calmer. The pool is great, the food is great, the evening music is great. it’s just great all around and I have not even a minor gripe. My wife did take advantage of the spa and had raving reviews. We even had a bonus night when our flight out was cancelled! We are already planning our return.
