Every year I look for a place to stay and celebrate our flmiay reunion. First time in Anguilla. Beautiful island, great people we met. The villas are great, very cozy. Our whole flmiay felt right at home. We loved the beaches and swam at 22 of them. Fishing was great, too. We visited the surrounding keys and enjoyed them, too. My little nieces enjoyed the beach most, just about every day.
