Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel, Anguilla

We visited Cap Juluca at the end of February for a four-night stay, and from start to finish, the experience was seamless and exceptional. Arrival & Transportation: After confirming our reservation, the concierge promptly reached out to assist with transportation from SXM Airport to the resort. They provided multiple options, including private, semi-private, and public ferries from SXM to the Anguilla ferry terminal, followed by a transfer to the hotel via taxi or a house car. Thanks to their careful coordination, our journey was smooth and stress-free. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Eleonore, the General Manager, who took the time to personally greet us and ensure we had the best possible experience. As we checked in, we were offered refreshments and informed of a complimentary room upgrade—a wonderful surprise! Accommodation: Our upgraded king-size room with a balcony was spacious and beautifully appointed, featuring a comfortable bed, a desk, a cozy couch, a bar area, a TV, a separate foyer, and a walk-in closet. The bathroom was luxurious, with dual sinks, a standing shower, a bathtub, and a private toilet room. The highlight was our large balcony, complete with two tanning beds and a dining table, perfect for in-room dining with a view. Service & Hospitality: The staff at Cap Juluca went above and beyond in every interaction. Whether we were exploring the property or heading to lunch or dinner, we were greeted warmly by every team member, making us feel genuinely welcomed. The management team assigned us a personal concierge, Claudia, who was an absolute star. Incredibly responsive and proactive, her answer to every request was a cheerful, "Yes, of course, I can make it happen." She seamlessly handled taxi bookings, dinner reservations (both on and off the property), special requests, and more, ensuring that every moment of our stay was effortless and enjoyable. Both Eleonore and Claudia regularly checked in with us, reinforcing the resort’s commitment to personalized service. Dining: Every day, we lunched at the Cap Shack, indulging in the fresh daily catch (mahi-mahi, snapper, tuna) and a delicious local lobster roll. For dinner, we went to Cip’s by Cipriani (Italian) and Uchu (Peruvian)—both fantastic, though Uchu was our favorite. Off-property, we visited Sharky’s and Veya, with Veya being a highlight for off-property dining. Final Thoughts: From the impeccable service to the stunning beaches, Cap Juluca exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend this property for a romantic getaway and are already looking forward to returning next year. From now on, Belmond has our heart.

Overall a really wonderful stay. Gorgeous beach (one of the best in the Caribbean), nice rooms (especially the bathrooms) and very friendly and helpful staff. A few minor glitches but nothing major and would highly recommend for a great beach vacation. Included breakfast is excellent allong with the view from Cips.Restaurants to recommend include Sandbar (great small plates) and Veya. For your transportation if not renting a car, I would strongly recommend contacting Alistair Taxi. Alistair is reliable, funny, a great driver and has very comfortable vehicles.Call him to arrange your transport needs.

I recently visited Pimms Restaurants at the hotel with my cousin, hoping to enjoy the stunning views and get a bit of work done before dinner. Although the restaurant wasn’t open yet, the staff graciously allowed me to sit at a table while they prepared for service. I made it clear that I planned to order both dinner and drinks once they officially opened, and they assured me that was no problem. About 30 minutes later, a staff member named Gloria abruptly approached and told me I had to leave the table because it had been sanitized for dinner. She claimed we were “contaminating the space.” I politely explained that I planned to dine at that very table, but she showed no interest in resolving the situation or offering an alternative. There was no offer of a reservation, no suggestion of another table just a blunt dismissal, as if she wanted me off the property entirely. Fortunately, Monica caught me after the interaction and did an amazing job turning the experience around. Her professionalism and warmth truly stood out, and she embodied the kind of hospitality I’ve always associated with this island. The setting at Pimms is undeniably beautiful, and Monica deserves recognition for her grace under pressure but the interaction with Gloria left a sour note on what should have been a lovely evening.

This was my fourth time staying at the CJ. I know I will have the best vacation ever here. The staff go above and beyond (and these are only the ones I remember by name because they are all great. Gene at the front, my villa host Deandre, beach attendants, Ricardo, Jim and Rene. Just to name a few. The rooms are amazing. I had a ground floor unit so you can just walk out from your villla. The breakfast included was plentiful. I didn’t use the spa services but looked magical. The infinity edge pool was gorgeous, although I didn’t stay at the pool. The beach service was spot on with drinks and food brought to your chair, along with daily iced tea and sorbet. I will be back next year.

The service is impeccable, the room is very nice and the grounds are well kept. The food was very good as was the service in the restaurants. The beach restaurant was just OK with uninterested service and they gave us what seems to have been a microwaved frozen fish patty, pretty surprising. Overall a nice place, but definitely not worth the money. Every day party boats from St. Maarten would pull up into the cove blaring music and letting off college age kids, who would hang on the beach. Seemed to be encouraged by the hotel. Anguilla was pretty scruffy outside the hotel grounds, and the off-site restaurants were good, but not much else on that part of the island. One bummer, our neighbor regularly smoked on his balcony, with the smoke filling ours. Next time we'll go somewhere else for half the price.

Excellent resort with outstanding service. The music in all the restaurants was very nice. The food , specially the lobster and fish is great.
