Little Dix Bay is one of the best resorts in the Caribbean and one of our favorites. Our first visit was back in 1988 and have gone back many times since. It just keeps getting better and better.

Been to Cap Juluca three times and have always enjoyed our stays. Wouldn't hesitate to go back.

La Samanna, on the other hand, was a total disappointment. It's been resting on it's laurels for years. Went once, couldn't wait to leave, would never go back.

Thanks for the advice. Which was your favorite between VG and Cap juluca? We are traveling from Charlotte nc and would like a easy flight. Do you have any suggestions? We what something very nice but not too stuffy.

I must disagree with the Marketing Director. We were disappointed 3 years ago. After one lunch and two dinners we eliminated it as a dining option. It was a faded star. Eighteen years ago it was a 4+ star in my opinion. On our last visit I would assess it as a 2++ and at their rates it is criminal.
Cap Jaluca looks lovely based on a lunch visit and a complimentary afternoon at the cabana/pool. But in my opinion though I would assign it a 4+ star it was too sterile for my taste compared to Little Dix or Caneel. LDB I would rate tops of the three and the food based on the lunch with the same five at Cap as at LDB the food at LDB was better prepared.
If it were not for the small beach Biras Creekk had better food than the three and the beach is fine but narrow and small. The villa accomodations are a little rustic but quite private and the public areas are only 5-6 years old and first rate. You might want to look into it as an option. Peter Island Resort is lovely but a bit stuffy but rivals Biras in terms of food and the beaches are as nice as LDB in my opinion. It is smaller than LDB and has honeymooners often (based upon 2 visits) but LDB has children under 5 even when school is in-session.
Maybe the Marketing Director should spend 2 days each at Biras, Peter Island and LDB and see why I think La Samanna has lost it.
Caneel Bay Resort would be right near the top but the food based on our last two visits in 2007 and 2010 was not very good. In 2004 and before we had 4-5 visits that made it a 5 star. But beach, food, accomodations and sorkeling make a trip a success for us.

Thanks StanKase...i think you hit it on the nail from everything Ive read. My husband and I spent our honeymoon at caneel bay in 2003 and LOVED it!!! I really wanted to try little Dix bay, but on most of the reviews i have read say Anguilla was better. I think i have it down to three resorts in Anguilla...

Viceroy , Cuisinart and Cap Juluca? help!!! looks like Cuisinart might be too quiet?

I'd give LDB a slight nod over Cap Juluca but both are very nice resorts.

By the way, although Anguilla has some fantastic white sand beaches the island itself is flat, arid and scrubby. For us it was not anywhere near as attractive as Virgin Gorda.

AS RoamsAround says, and you were to Caneel, Little Dix is almost as lush as St. John and for us that adds an important aspect vs. a sand bar which is just what it is. I do not know but it may be onlt 10 feet above sea level. I consideer the environment off-beach an element I should have listed. If any of your group enjoys snorkeling there is ZERO around Anguila but LDB has some right off shore and small tour boats (75/person) that go out for 5-6 hours to some of best remaining places. If you go there DoubleD Charters (just a name, you do not have to charter the boat) goes to Monkey Point, The Dogs, Norman Island and the Indians all good to very good spots.
Also check average temp in Angilla in the month you are going vs. Little Dix for it seems St Martin and Anguilla were warmer but that could have just been by coincidence. A high of 85-86 is far better than 89-90.

Thanks to all....I think I'm going to go with Little Dix bay. I'm trying to figure out if we should fly into st. Thomas or San Juan. I know we could take a private boat from st. Thomas to VG or a short flight. From San Juan you have to fly into Tortola then boat to VG...anyone have suggestions? Even though the boat ride form St.Thomas in 90 min it still seams the easiest.
