We had the BEST family vacation! My husband and I were looking for an easy trip away with our 3-year-old son, and Anguilla being a 3-hour direct flight from Miami, it was close but still far enough away - we headed over for a week's stay and we were not disappointed. To start, the resort is BEAUTIFUL! All the charm of a small boutique hotel, but with the amenities you would expect at a large resort. Your first stop upon arrival is check in, we were greeted with rum punch (delicious!) and fruit punch for our son. We were given a tour of the resort by a wonderful gentleman, I can't remember his name, but he knew everything and was so delightful to speak with. Last stop was being dropped at our room. (note: Zemi Beach House is all walkable, but they do have golfcarts if you need a ride up the hill at any point). Our room had direct beach access, with breathtaking views of Shoal Bay and the crystal-clear blue water! The room was updated, decorated nicely, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our week away. They provide you with beach bags and flip flops in the room, and also gave our son a giant bag of beach toys for the week, which really made his day and playing in the sand so much fun. All special touches! Also, every night at turndown they bring you fresh cookies, a sweet way to end your day :) We enjoyed the buffet breakfast each morning at 20 Knots, which was a nice way to start the day. Seating options are available inside and outside, either way you will see the ocean and beach. For food, there are plenty of pastry options and they are all baked fresh daily (so yummy!), omelet / eggs made to order, fresh fruit, daily smoothies, fresh OJ and coffee, etc. In addition to breakfast, we would order poolside snacks -- fresh fruit, chips and guacamole, conch fritters, fish tacos, and cocktails! Their rum punch is fantastic, and we also enjoyed their cucumber refresher on multiple occasions. For kids, there were plenty of options that our son enjoyed -- chicken nuggets, cheeseburger, grilled cheese and he LOVED their smoothies. Food was always fresh, and very tasty. We also stopped by the Bohio Lounge on some nights for a late dessert and drink - there is music nightly which is really nice as well. The lounge is really well done, seating is comfortable and inviting and the ambiance is fantastic. The staff at 20 Knots and Bohio are incredible. They were warm, attentive and treated our son like a celebrity. They are family focused and there to make sure you are well taken care of. Five-star service from everyone! Most of our trip was spent at the resort, there are plenty of very good food options and things to do, so you don't need to leave! The pool was a highlight for our son, and he also loved the beach. The sand and water are perfect on Shoal Bay, great for playing, building castles, and finding shells, and the water is calm enough for little ones to also enjoy. You will not be disappointed lounging in either spot! We took plenty
