Nori's Reply: Bruce, thank you so much for the beautiful photograph of you and your bride. What a magical moment! alamo car rental To be married on the most beautiful island, alamo car rental on the most beautiful beach in the Caribbean... Could it get any better? I hope to one day know the magic of an Anguilla wedding. Thank you so much for sharing this special photo!
We are looking for something very romantic. Crystal clear water, white sand that you can go right into the water on... snorkeling... deep sea fishing... parasailing if possible... checking out a wreck site... not too many sharks?
Anguilla is very romantic, NBC did a story on Anguilla weddings and Anguilla honeymoons . It's no wonder why - the island is picturesque, the weather is ideal (day after day of endless blue sky on a desert island!), the water exactly to your liking - white sandy bottom, calm and clear turquoise waters.
The island offers most of the Anguilla activities you mentioned. There are hardly any sharks in Anguilla. There is snorkeling, deep sea fishing, plenty of wreck sites, alamo car rental but unfortunately no parasailing. You can, however, do that next door in St. Martin (only 20 minutes away).
Anguilla alamo car rental is not an all inclusive island . Of course you can kick back and relax, but there aren't many package trips available that include your drinks and flight. You can check with some of the bigger resorts on the islands to see if they have special rates, alamo car rental but that's about as far as it goes with packages. Click here for more information on those Anguilla hotels .
My best recommendation if you are seeking true value ... a picturesque spot on the beach for a low cost... please click here to read more about Carimar Beach Club . Carimar Beach Club is directly on one of Anguilla's best beaches, amidst some of the islands most romantic seaside restaurants, decorated with tasteful furnishings and for a very reasonable price! You can't go wrong.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Anguilla is our absolute favorite island. I proposed to my wife there in 2003 and returned for our honeymoon in 2004. We are returning for the first time since then on June 11th.
Anguilla can be expensive and is known as a destination of the rich and famous, but it can be affordable too. Nori mentioned alamo car rental Carimar, which is where we will be staying. Some other reasonable hotels include Ku and Shoal Bay Villas which are located on one of the most beautiful beaches...but all the 30+ beaches in Anguilla are beautiful alamo car rental in their own way. Shoal Bay is considered the busiest but you would never call it busy. There are so many beaches where you and your husband will be the only ones there.
Nori mentioned that "all inclusive" is not popular and that is a good thing. There are so many fabulous restaurants, both upscale and moderate, that it would be a sin to limit yourself to hotel buffets for a week.
The best thing about the Anguilla are the people. The Anguillans are honest, hardworking people that are will really impress upon you. I consider Anguilla the safest island that I have visited. You should still use common sense, but the sense of security you feel there cannot be found anywhere else.
My fiance and I are planning on having our honeymoon in Anguilla mid-August (hopefully we don't run into a hurricane). We are looking to stay at the Viceroy Hotel because of their great deals during alamo car rental this season. I had a couple questions since you seem to be the Anguilla expert!
1) We will be flying to St Martin and taking a boat over to Anguilla, because the airfare is much cheaper this way. We will be landing in St Martin at 2:45pm. What is the best/affordable way to get to Anguilla from St.Martin?
1) The most affordable way to get to Anguilla is by taking the Anguilla ferry system . The ferry departs from St. Martin every 45 minutes. You will have to take a taxi from Princess Juliana Airport (located on the Dutch side) to the port of Marigot alamo car rental on the island's French side. The ferry leaves from there.
There is also the option of hiring a private or semi-private boat. The semi-private boats run on a schedule, so call ahead to get their times and to book. The private alamo car rental charters you hire, so just call ahead to book and give them your flight details.
If you want to get to Anguilla quickly and smoothly, I highly recommend Anguilla Air Services . This way, you do not have to leave the St. Maarten airport, or go through St. Maarten immigration. alamo car rental It is quick and easy, and the views from the plane over to Anguilla are stunning!
2) Lunch can run you from $20-90, alamo car rental depending on where you are eating. For instance, burgers and rum punches at Uncle Ernie's on Shoal Bay , should cost about $20 (together). Lunch at Jacala Restaurant will run you closer to $50-70.
Dinner can cost anywhere from $50-180, if you are ordering starters and wine. SandBar is a fun, affordable restaurant with tasty food that is very popular. alamo car rental Click here for a list of our favorite five-star Anguilla restaurants .
We could take the chance that the Anguilla weather holds, but really how bad does it get? The Anguilla weather page says that temps are not bad and that only 3" of rain... Well that is still a lot better than home's temp and rain!
But is it really worth taking a chance that time of year, for similar prices and travel time there is a lot of places to go on the Pacific and you wouldn't have to worry about hurricanes. From some of the research that I have seen though is that the island does not really alamo car rental get hit all that hard compared to to other places (north/inland).
alamo car rental I guess if it was a vacation alamo car rental it would be not nearly as big of a deal to take the chance but since this is a honeymoon - can only do once sort of deal, not sure if it is worth it? Looking for some more insight into that time of year and how good it still is....
Nori's Reply: Jonathan, I have heard of people taking Anguilla honeymoons in the off season, even having Anguilla weddings well into hurricane season, but I haven't heard of any taking place as late as September.
It is true that Anguilla hasn't had as many hurricanes as other locations nearby (in the Gulf of Mexico for example), but the island has had its fair share, and gets them more regularly than some other islands in the Caribbean.
In fact, Anguilla in summer is my favorite time. You don't have to share beaches, you don't have to make reservations for restaurants weeks in advance. It is quiet, peaceful, alamo car rental and of course, the prices alamo car rental are perfect!
But I would not recommend visiting in September and October. May - August is the best time, with the best weather, even better than winter temperatures. The water is warm and the weather is consistently hot!
Nori's Reply: Congratulations! Anguilla honeymoons seem so magical ! The good news is quiet, quaint places to stay are not hard to come by in Anguilla. My best Anguilla accommodations recommendation is Carimar alamo car rental Beach Club, it is the best value Anguilla hotel you will find . Quiet, calm, with clean rooms with nice decor. The best part? It's right on one of Anguilla's best beaches, Meads Bay. For a low cost, Carimar Beach Club is the best value to be had on Anguilla! Have a wonderful time in Anguilla and a beautiful Anguilla honeymoon!
