Belmond Cap Juluca

We just did a seven night stay here, completing a total trip to Anguilla of 17 nights. This was our third stay at Cap Juluca, this time in a Premium beachfront king (#1106). We love the views from the balcony, and on the beach. Since access to the new spa facilities is included we enjoyed the hot and cold plunge pools--also with great views. The included breakfast at Cips is very good with many options changed daily. (It can get very busy after 9am.) The 6pm sabering is a nice event---they now do it with real champagne! Napoleon would be proud! CJ's location on the West End provides easy access to most of our favorite restaurants for both lunch and dinner. Since our last stay the rates have increased dramatically here...especially during the busy season. Hopefully they continue to think of ways to improve their offering vis-a-vis the competition.

Nicely appointed room. Moroccan-styled black tiles, carved wood four poster beds, plantation shutters, super large lanai, spacious restroom area. Awesome views over the bay and beach. Be sure you get a room in building 10 or less. Anything past 10 and there’s a good chance you may never get to use the beach set up and umbrella that’s assigned to your room due to the wind. Can’t blame the property for the wind, but it gets very windy and the farther around the bay you are located, the windier it is. They won’t put up the umbrellas if it’s too windy. Each unit is assigned a beach set up so if it’s too windy, you’re kind of out of luck. We had to beg to get a beach set up in another area of the property each day. Once in the beach, the attendants are very responsive, bringing tea, drinks, meals, and even sorbets a refreshments. We ate lunch in property, usually at The Cap Shack - Way at The end of the beach and in the wind flume. The deep fried chicken sandwich is the best. We had lunch at Uchu twice. Also pleasant, with less wind as it’s in the main building. But for evening meals, we recommend going off campus to some of the many good eateries on the island. We ate once at Cip’s on property and were underwhelmed. There are bicycles to ride around the property, and they’ll fetch you in golf carts if you call. Seems some rooms might have golf carts assigned to them. We didn’t have that. We rented our own car and used it to move around the property and to go out to dinner. Parking is easy on property. No restrictions.

Had the best time at Cap Juluca this February. The hotel is amazing with the prettiest beach I have ever been to! Winnie, Martin and Samantha all made my stay even better. I have already booked a return stay for next February which will make it my 12 th time at the hotel. Trust me - you will not be disappointed if you vacation there. It is like being in paradise!

Cap Juluca has a beautiful protected beach, wonderful and varied food choices (the Peruvian and Italian restaurants were particularly delicious), comfortable and spacious beachfront accommodations, and a serene and enchanting spa, but the thing that stands out most is the attentive, friendly and welcoming staff. They make it a truly special place.

Carib luxury vibe. Would love to come back. high service level. Very serviceminded Cap Juluca employees.
