Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel, Anguilla

From the moment you arrive at Cap Jaluca, the outside world slips away and you are enveloped in an atmosphere of calm, beauty and care. The suites are amazingly comfortable, the food delicious and the service beyond friendly and helpful. The beach is a stunning crescent of clear aqua and white powder. Will hopefully be back many more times.

We visited Cap Juluca at the end of February for a four-night stay, and from start to finish, the experience was seamless and exceptional. Arrival & Transportation: After confirming our reservation, the concierge promptly reached out to assist with transportation from SXM Airport to the resort. They provided multiple options, including private, semi-private, and public ferries from SXM to the Anguilla ferry terminal, followed by a transfer to the hotel via taxi or a house car. Thanks to their careful coordination, our journey was smooth and stress-free. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Eleonore, the General Manager, who took the time to personally greet us and ensure we had the best possible experience. As we checked in, we were offered refreshments and informed of a complimentary room upgrade—a wonderful surprise! Accommodation: Our upgraded king-size room with a balcony was spacious and beautifully appointed, featuring a comfortable bed, a desk, a cozy couch, a bar area, a TV, a separate foyer, and a walk-in closet. The bathroom was luxurious, with dual sinks, a standing shower, a bathtub, and a private toilet room. The highlight was our large balcony, complete with two tanning beds and a dining table, perfect for in-room dining with a view. Service & Hospitality: The staff at Cap Juluca went above and beyond in every interaction. Whether we were exploring the property or heading to lunch or dinner, we were greeted warmly by every team member, making us feel genuinely welcomed. The management team assigned us a personal concierge, Claudia, who was an absolute star. Incredibly responsive and proactive, her answer to every request was a cheerful, "Yes, of course, I can make it happen." She seamlessly handled taxi bookings, dinner reservations (both on and off the property), special requests, and more, ensuring that every moment of our stay was effortless and enjoyable. Both Eleonore and Claudia regularly checked in with us, reinforcing the resort’s commitment to personalized service. Dining: Every day, we lunched at the Cap Shack, indulging in the fresh daily catch (mahi-mahi, snapper, tuna) and a delicious local lobster roll. For dinner, we went to Cip’s by Cipriani (Italian) and Uchu (Peruvian)—both fantastic, though Uchu was our favorite. Off-property, we visited Sharky’s and Veya, with Veya being a highlight for off-property dining. Final Thoughts: From the impeccable service to the stunning beaches, Cap Juluca exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend this property for a romantic getaway and are already looking forward to returning next year. From now on, Belmond has our heart.

Amazing atmosphere there and the staff is unbelievable. It's the most beautiful beach, sand and ocean for me. I highly reccomend this hotel. Very nice restaurants as well

The service, the rooms, the location, the beach, the food all 5 stars. we ahve been going for years and it just keeps getting better.

We just did a seven night stay here, completing a total trip to Anguilla of 17 nights. This was our third stay at Cap Juluca, this time in a Premium beachfront king (#1106). We love the views from the balcony, and on the beach. Since access to the new spa facilities is included we enjoyed the hot and cold plunge pools--also with great views. The included breakfast at Cips is very good with many options changed daily. (It can get very busy after 9am.) The 6pm sabering is a nice event---they now do it with real champagne! Napoleon would be proud! CJ's location on the West End provides easy access to most of our favorite restaurants for both lunch and dinner. Since our last stay the rates have increased dramatically here...especially during the busy season. Hopefully they continue to think of ways to improve their offering vis-a-vis the competition.

Cap Jaluca is a very up class, snobby hotel. We travelled to it last June to eat at Uchu and use their beach and everything was upscale and charming. This past January, we made a reservation to use their beach (chair setup) again and eat breakfasts and lunch there, and it was a completely different experience. The lady greeting us ushered us away from entering the hotel lobby and took us over the grass to the pool area. She said someone would set up the chairs for us soon. She told us not to use any bathroom except the one downstairs (in pool area). I asked what Cap Shack is like, and she told me to walk the beach over there and not to drive on their private property. I reminded her that we had reservations at Uchu, and she confirmed. We then went over to Pimm's to have their amazing breakfast buffet. When we returned to the beach area, our two chairs and umbrella were ready. We swam for about an hour, and asked for our bill, so we could dry off to eat lunch. The gave us a bill for more than double what they quoted me in email and on the phone, the day before. The pool staff did not know what to do, even though I showed them my email and their quoted price. I walked through the lobby to reservations (after drying off) and asked a lady in reservations why the bill had more than doubled from $50 to $120 and she let me know she was not interested in helping me, stating that their prices frequently change for beach access. Now, I know why people just bring their own towels and lie on the beach right outside Pimm's (sort of an odd view for people enjoying breakfast to see 30-50 people lying right beneath their window on the beach). I emailed Cap Jaluca and Belmond Hotels, to ask why the price more than doubled within 24 hours--no reply. They obviously only want their guests to use the beach. Too bad they have taken over a beautiful bay that is PUBLIC. And, too bad they can't treat guests of the hotel with more grace and class and honestly.
