Anacaona Boutique Hotel is their new name for the Sirena Resort, which is about to undergo a refurbishment that will add some of the famed Ricketts touches in style and service. The hotel with its 27 rooms and suites sits in 3 1/2-acres of frangipani and coco palms a few paces along a garden path from mile-long Meads Bay, one of the most beautiful stretches of beach on the island.
Anacaona (pronounced the way it looks, by the way, an-nah-ky-oh-nah, without stresses – just like vacations on Anguilla) features stylish décor, new menus in the garden-poolside restaurant, not one but two swimming pools (for 27 rooms!), full beach service, boutique, massage center – and, above all, a reinvention of island nightlife.
“We’ve given the hotel this evocative Amerindian name, Anacaona, because we see it as Anguilla’s unofficial cultural entertainment center,” say co-owner Sue Ricketts. “The focus of our tropical evenings will be local musicians, local dance groups, dinner theater, maybe carnival nights, maybe even poolside chats with engaging local historians. We want our guests to leave Anguilla with a much richer understanding of what this special island is all about.”
Affordable Chic
Room rates at the new Anacaona will come as a welcome eye-opener to vacationers who thought they could never afford this celebrity-studded island. That includes perks often found only in luxury hotels – like cold towels and rum punch on arrival, free Wi-Fi and Internet, even drinks and lunch service on the beach.

Anacaona Boutique Hotel is located in that trendy corner of Anguilla known as West End, a low-profile district with most of the island’s luxury resorts and high-end villas, a variety of restaurants and beach bars, the Greg Norman golf course and other attractions – but no more than 20 minutes by car from the airport or 10 from the ferryboat dock.
