We had the pleasure of spending 10 days at the wonderful Villa 49. Tucked away along a dusty road,the Villa 49 is a grand villa striking in decor and very comfortable. We loved the sense of space with a very large living area overlooking the pool and stunning views of the island of St.Marten in the distance. There was the lovely sound of the sea and we were even told by locals that whales can be spotted at the right time.We did not see any but the children had fun looking. The villa is very well equipped,there are plenty of games for the children and a gym to work off the rum punches and good food.There is a TV/cinema room provided as a less energetic option. We have visited the Caribbean many times but this was our first time in Anguilla.The beaches are beautiful,our favourite is the famous Shoal Bay east only 5 mins drive away,where there is a good beach restaurant which allowed us a whole day on the beach with children playing in the blue coloured sea and white sand. We hope to be returning to Villa 49,who knows we might even see the whales!
