When I travel I tend to prefer small intimate getaways. I love boutique hotels and found a gem on Anguilla. Located in South Hill with splendid views of Sandy Ground, Ambia Bed and Breakfast was perfection. Magda the manager, met me at Blowing Point Ferry and whisked me away to my hideout. Upon arrival I met lovely Ruby the dog who lives in her garage suite. She is the sweetest dog imaginable. I walked down the stairs into a little piece of paradise. There is a divine pool and the stunning views of Sandy Ground. The breezes were blowing and the property had ample shaded areas to read, surf the internet on the free wifi or snooze on loungers. Magda oriented me to the property. Breakfast is included and can be prepared by the staff or on your own. I chose the latter affording myself the luxury of trying lovely cheeses, local breads, fresh pastries from Geraud’s Bakery and many kinds of tea, juices and bottled water. Magda had coffee brewing daily.
My room was decorated with soft and subtle designs mostly a Japanese / Caribbean influence. The doors are large Japanese screen sliders. The bed has a posturpedic mattress, cotton sheets and comfy pillows. The shower is unique and attractive and provides hot water for your comfort if needed. Magda provided lovely soap and bath products as well. At night the AC cooled my room allowing me to a good night sleep.
Ambia has a Vonage phone for free international calls as well as a local line. There is a tv and reading area with books as well as games. It is a cozy spot. I often had the place to myself.
Ambia is a 5 min. walk to Tasty’s for lovely local food created by Dale Carty. Sandy Ground and Elvis’s, Johnno’s, Veya, Barrel Stay and Pumphouse are 5 min. down the hill by car. Don’t miss the Pyrate Rum Factory. Anguilla boasts 33 lovely beaches. I personally have visited over 15 and am still waiting to enjoy more.
To book Ambia contact ann@bonairecaribbean.com or call 1-800 219-0118. As always free island Concierge services offered to all Caribbean Wind & Sun Vacations guests.
