The views at SALT had been simply unbelievable!!

Our favourite spot for lunch was off the overwhelmed path a bit of – Half Shell Bar on Barnes Bay Seaside. You must stroll via the villas to seek out it, but it surely’s well worth the stroll. The bar is correct on the seaside and also you simply can’t beat the view!

In direction of the top of our journey, we ended up simply skipping lunch! We ate a later breakfast as we adjusted to trip life and weren’t actually hungry in the course of the day. That was good as a result of it saved us $100+.
The employees additionally introduced round little snacks right here and there – a smoothie shot, a bit of style of guacamole and three chips.
And at some point my pal Brent shared his quesadilla – that was a pleasant snack!

We had a desk overlooking the ocean all three nights and the spotlights proven on sea turtles and large tarpon fish! We despatched some movies house to the boys.

Tableside Ceviche
We had ceviche and the conch tostada, each had been scrumptious.
Johnny Truffles “Bread Basket”
Our favourite half about SALT had been the Johnny muffins! They ready the salt desk facet crushed with basil and mint, and the muffins made with flour and cornmeal jogged my memory of a combination between a pancake and a biscuit.

To finish essentially the most wonderful dinner, together with your verify they convey one other drink on the home – a mango smoothie spiked with one thing good! And little tiny mango gummy bears too.

Dinner at Blanchards
We had dinner one night time at Blanchards, which we took a taxi to from the resort (for about $25 with tip). Blanchards looks as if a beloved native spot, and so they had a protracted listing of its historical past and charitable contributions to the neighborhood on the again of the menu.
Additionally they have an off-the-cuff taco restaurant on the property.
Native Grouper + Jerk Rooster
Cracked Coconut

Salads and apps had been $15-25, lunch entrees had been $30-40, and dinner entrees $40-70. There’s a 15% service cost and a 15% tax/environmental charge added to each verify, so meaning the price is even larger when the invoice comes. Plus you possibly can add further gratuity for glorious service, too.

If you’re a giant eater or wish to have cocktails all day lengthy, I might double that each day value.
A be aware on water: Bottled water was provided at each meal for $10. We didn’t notice this at first and paid for a number of bottles of nonetheless water. Then we switched to glowing water if we had been going to should pay for it in any case. Lastly we realized we might simply ask for faucet water and that was high-quality to drink.
Different Native Eating places
Except for strolling on the seaside, I wouldn’t say that the resort was notably walkable. You needed to take a taxi to depart, though that was simple to get from the entrance foyer. You can additionally cost taxis to the room.
Subsequent door to the 4 Seasons there was a brand new membership referred to as Savi. We nearly went there a number of occasions, however we’re simply not late night time social gathering folks so we by no means did. Additionally simply down the seaside was an off-the-cuff spot referred to as The Straw Hat.
Our pals went to Sharky’s and mentioned it was good, and we had a reservation at Mango’s that we ended up altering since strolling down the seaside to go there was nearly unattainable with the tide up and we didn’t wish to do a taxi.
Issues To Do At The 4 Seasons Anguilla
Seaside Strolling
Except for basking in sunshine and sipping cocktails, we did do some exploring on foot. We walked to the sting of Meads Bay Seaside. I pretended I used to be on Survivor!
Boat Excursions
There are a few boat excursions you possibly can take to the smaller close by islands. Our pals did one and mentioned it was simply OK. The water was too tough for them to truly get off the boat that day.
Sports activities
Thomas and I performed tennis at some point! This was our first time taking part in collectively. We had been glad the courts and tennis racquets had been complimentary, and we simply needed to pay $10 for some new balls.
Health Middle
A couple of of the mornings we went to the health middle earlier than breakfast. It was very good with loads of gear. I largely walked on the treadmill at a steep incline and Thomas sweated it out on the stair grasp.
Watching The World Cup
We acquired to observe within the open air!
The 4 Seasons Spa!
We acquired massages throughout our journey and so they had been nice! The spa was stunning and had its personal infinity pool and steam room to make use of whereas ready.
Ideas For Visiting The 4 Seasons Anguilla
The Free Wifi Was Nice
The Wifi on the property was nice!! Wifi may be hit and miss and a few resorts make you register each time via a browser, however this wifi was like being at house after an preliminary register. The sign reached approach down the seashores too.
We didn’t go for a global mobile phone plan, and I’m glad we didn’t as a result of it wasn’t obligatory. SXM airport additionally had free wifi.
Seaside Baggage
You will get a free 4 Seasons tote on the entrance desk, so don’t pack a seaside bag!
Sunscreen on the swimming pools
There isn’t any have to deliver sunscreen or a water bottle – each are plentiful. That they had SPF 30 and 50 in addition to aloe on the swimming pools and seashores.
Ideas
Carry tons of money in low payments for ideas. Greater than you assume you’ll want!
The Swimming pools Had been Freezing
If you’re a pool individual, you won’t thoughts, however the swimming pools had been FREEZING! We needed to psych ourselves up for a plunge within the sundown pool, however as soon as we had been in it was price it.
The ocean was fairly cool too – not just like the Carolina seashores in the summertime.
Attn: Beer Lovers
If you’re a giant IPA drinker, you’ll be disenchanted that the one beers they’d had been lagers. Presidente, Caribe, Purple Stripe, Heineken. Thomas switched to Pina coladas and rum punch!
For the espresso snobs (like us)
We had each a Nespresso maker and a Keurig machine in our room, which had been high-quality, however we like actually good massive cups of espresso!
For the espresso snobs (like us!) we suggest going to get to-go espresso on the health middle. It was scrumptious and a lot better than the Keurig.
Was it child pleasant?
There have been children and a few infants on the resort, however I can’t say I might wish to deliver mine. There wasn’t a ton of child actions like water slides and the seaside wasn’t very calm for youths, so I don’t assume mine would have liked it. (Though I acquired a number of texts from the seafood-loving Mazen that he actually wished he could possibly be consuming mahi with us!)
There have been these kid-sized lounge chairs that had been so cute! And there’s a children membership for some adults-only time.
Is The 4 Seasons Anguilla Value It?
1,000% sure! This was the nicest resort now we have ever stayed, and one which we might undoubtedly contemplate returning to.
Whereas it usually would in all probability be too costly for us, studying find out how to use bank cards for journey has opened an entire new world of choices.
With an entire world to see, it’s onerous to think about going again to the identical spot, however boy wouldn’t it be enjoyable to take action!
