This horseshoe of bougainvillea-draped Mediterranean-style buildings on beautiful Meads Bay has the look of a Sun Belt condo. Although only two buildings—No. 1 and No. 6—stand at the water's edge, all have balconies or patios with ocean views. Bright, white, one- and two-bedroom apartments are individually owned and thus reflect their owners' tastes, but most are well-appointed, fully equipped, and carefully maintained. The kitchens were all upgraded in 2008. The cordial staff, supreme beachfront location, and several fine restaurants within walking distance make this a good choice if you really don't want to rent a car. If you want a TV you can rent one for $50 a week. Pros: tennis courts; easy walk to restaurants and spa; right next door to Malliouhana; laundry facilities. Cons: no pool or restaurant, only bedrooms have a/c.

We stayed at Carimar the last two nights of our trip and couldn't have been happier with what we found. The grounds are lovely and the staff really went out of their way to make sure you felt at home. The property is right on the beach at Meads Bay and considering you pay 3 times as much to stay next door at Malliouhana we found this an excellent value. Plan to visit them again next time I'm in Anguilla.
