Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club

My husband and I just got married at Aurora, and can’t say enough about the resort. It's impeccably designed and filled with natural beauty, and its team members are so wonderful. We felt at home from the second we checked in, and kept asking ourselves if we could extend our stay over the course of the week. This couldn't be a better resort for families, as the waterpark is a blast for kids, but I would enjoy it just as much if I were there for my honeymoon-it's peaceful, romantic and magical. The variety of pools and beach areas is second to none, and the resort's proximity to The Dunes and Sunshine Shack is another huge perk. Rendezous Beach is stunning, and the resort's beach service is fantastic. The concierge team goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable and supported, and the management team is so kind whenever you run into them. I would choose getting married here all over again, and can't wait to return-once you visit, Aurora is the kind of resort that will stay in your heart forever.

My family and I had a wonderful stay and wanted to recognize some outstanding team members who made our experience truly memorable. A special thank you to Justin, Jose, Sherman, Nikki, and Brenda for their exceptional hospitality, professionalism, and friendly service throughout our visit. Each of them went above and beyond. Their positive attitudes, attention to detail, and willingness to help did not go unnoticed. It’s clear that they genuinely care about guests and take pride in providing excellent service. We would not hesitate to return for a 5th time! Thank you all again to for making our trip such a great experience!

We had the most incredible trip, every detail was thought out and our kids felt like royalty. Justin went above and beyond to make our trip one we will never forget. All of the staff was so kind, thoughtful and helpful for anything we needed. The water park and beach were our favorite places and we went to each multiple times a day.

We just got back from a week at Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club with a group of about 70 work colleagues, and it turned out to be a really good choice for us. Everything ran smoothly from the time we arrived until we left. The beach on Rendezvous Bay is gorgeous — soft white sand and that clear water. We spent most of our days there relaxing. It was calm, beautiful, and perfect for just relaxing. The staff in general was friendly and helpful. Justin stood out because he handled a lot of the coordination for our big group — dinners, activities, last-minute requests, all of it. He was always quick to respond and had a good attitude about it, which made things a lot easier. You could tell he knows the place inside and out. Always smiling! The resort has a lot going for it in one spot: nice pools, the golf course, a water park area, several restaurants with good variety, and comfortable rooms. It worked well for a group our size. Coffee cafe was a big plus and had homemade gelato and pastries. If you’re looking for a resort in Anguilla with a strong beach plus plenty of activities and solid service, Aurora is worth a look. Thanks to Justin and the team for helping everything go smoothly. We’d definitely go back.

This was our fourth time staying at Aurora Anguilla, and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. The resort is absolutely beautiful, the food is incredible, and the waterpark is such a huge bonus for families with kids. There is truly something for everyone here. What makes Aurora so special, though, is the people. We have gotten to know Justin over the years, and at this point he feels more like family than staff. No matter what we need, he is always there with a smile, ready to help, and genuinely invested in making sure our stay is perfect. His kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail never go unnoticed. It’s rare to find a resort that combines luxury, amazing amenities, outstanding dining, and such a personal touch, but Aurora does exactly that. A huge thank you to Justin and the entire team for another unforgettable stay. We already have our fifth visit booked for October, and we can’t wait to be back!

We had a wonderful stay at Aurora Anguilla Resort&Spa.We stayed in the Beachfront Junior Suite(Rendezvous Beach Ocean View),which was extremely spacious and very comfortable.The Suite featured a large walk-in closet area, a beautiful bathroom with double sinks and a separate Toilet.The bed was also very comfortable!In our opinion the Rendezvous Side of the Resort has a nicer stretch of Beach with stunning ocean views from the room.The Service throughout the resort was excellent, the staff was always friendly, attentive and professional.For Families the Hotel offers a fun splash park for Children and there is also a larger Water Park just 5 Minutes drive away.

Wasnt going to write a review this time as this would be my 4th time staying at the Aurora, but I wanted to give this place and its staff kudos as my family and I had so much fun and enjoyed ourselves during our trip. There are too many staff members to name, but everyone from the front desk staff, bartenders, pool, beach, water park staff were so gracious and hospitable to my family that I would be remis to not shout them out. Aurora does such a good job of making you feel like family this place has become a yearly destination. This place is the best hotel in Anguilla, especially if you have a family. This year we decided to rent a car so that made getting around the island much cheaper. There were two days were there was some seaweed issues on Rendezvous bay so having a car came in handy. Would recommend, but dont worry there is plenty of parking at all the restaurants and beaches. Only downside is we did not get to see our favorite taxi driver. All of these restaurants are amazing on the property, be sure to walk down to Sunshine Shack as that is one of our favorite. Just an FYI dont be afraid to book even if there are large groups staying here. During our time there were two large groups on the resort, but it never feels crowded no matter how many people are here. Another year at Aurora down many more to come.

This was our first time to Anguilla and we are so happy we picked this resort. We traveled for my partner's 65th birthday and the staff really stepped us for us. We were lucky the week we went was a quiet week at the resort. We were upgraded to an oceanfront suite which really made our week. It was clean, bright, modern and steps to the beach. Balloons and a cake were waiting for us upon our arrival. All the staff went out of their way to make sure our trip was enjoyable. The beach was clean, seaweed was taken off every morning by the staff and the loungers and umbrellas were great. The beach has powdery sand and you are able to walk for 2 miles down and back. There is a beachfront restaurant right next to the resort for something different for lunch. The food was the best we have had at a Caribbean resort but be aware it is very expensive. We knew that going in so we were not surprised. The steak dinner at D Richards and the ambience overlooking the water and golf course were top notch. The only disappointing meal was the lobster BBQ. For $99 a person the lobsters were tiny and the overall food just ok. The paella was actually cold. Felt like the food was prepared ahead of time and then presented. We were there during slow week so not many attended which may have affected things. I would have rather spent the money again at the steak house and had a good piece of fish. The golf courses themselves are beautiful and although we did not play we were able to walk them for exercise in the early morning We loved the double decker bus tour on Wednesdays. Very informative and good way to see the island. We even went over to the waterpark and did the mini golf and lazy river. As to the staff shout outs to Jay and June at Pickleball (great pickleball clinic), Patrice and Jasmeiri for massages and Jermaine for our bus tour. Some minor comments - groundscare always working and landscaping beautiful. Also the painters were always touching up. However maintenance issues were showing (decorative path lights had fallen over, stones on gazebo by pool missing, fountain not working in main area by pool walkway, cushions ripped, missing equipment on bocce court). Didn't see maintenance guys on a regular and as the resort gets busier hopefully these things will be addressed more quickly.

I was on vacation and played the course. Before we discuss the course the best experience starts in the clubhouse. Two young ladies provided service that made me feel like a professional. Vanessa and the other young lady (whose name escape's me) are pleasant and professional. The golf course is wonderfully take care of. The tee box, fairways and greens are manicured. If staying in Saint Martin take the boat ride to play. It is a place to add to your bucket list.

My family and I just got back from another unforgettable vacation at the Aurora. This was our second time staying at the resort. From the moment we arrived, Justin Time, the hotel ambassador, welcomed us with his awesome energy and smiles. I suggest getting to know Justin! He works very hard at making sure every guest feels special during their visit. He’s the best! My husband and I traveled with our two sons (ages 5 and 7) for a 7-night stay. We stayed on the Rendezvous side in an ocean view suite which is the perfect amount of space for a family of four. The views of the ocean are beautiful! We truly enjoyed waking up in paradise each and every morning. Shout out to the amazing housekeeping team! The resort has so much to offer. The water park is a blast! The food on the property is delicious, as well as the cocktails and frozen drinks. :) Thank you to Samaro, Shaday, Kevin, and Chadwick for adding fun times and conversation - who all made our stay even more enjoyable! If you are thinking about whether this resort is the right place for you, please do not think any further, just book it! The Aurora is a special place and we cannot wait to return again next year.

We just returned from our 2nd annual family vacation to the Aurora and are already planning to return next year. We love everything about Anguilla, and that charm and hospitality is magnified at the Aurora. First impressions are everything. Before we even got out of our taxi my kids (ages 5 and 7) were screaming “Justin Time” who was there to greet us with hugs. Justin is the hotel ambassador who we stay in touch with throughout the year. He is so personable and made sure everything was perfect; from daily check ins to helping with our excursions and reservations, we felt a part of the Aurora family. Shout out to Samaro, Chadwick, Shadae, Keila, Kevin, and everyone else who made our stay so memorable. The waterpark is a huge hit. Unlike most waterparks at resorts, there are plenty of chairs to sit and relax. The bar is great too. My only suggestion is that the waterpark could use a hot tub. The food is great as well. We love to eat off the property at local restaurants (Vincy’s, Sandbar, Tasty’s, Blanchard’s) are some of our favorites, but the Thursday night lobster buffet and Tokyo Bay were hits on this trip. Rendezvous Bay is magnificent. Make sure to stop by Dune Preserve to hear the legend Bankie Banks play some tunes. The live music is terrific on Anguilla. We got to see Omari Banks and his daughters play together. Omalie 360 at the 4 seasons is a vibe too! Can’t wait to return to the Aurora!

We recently stayed at Aurora for a full week for spring break - and for our family with middle-school aged children, it was an excellent choice. The top line summary is that Aurora is a very nice, light-luxury family resort, particularly if you stay on the Rendezvous Beach suites. The rooms are spacious and high-quality, the amenities and activities for a family are outstanding, the staff are very good, the beach and sea are beautiful, the grounds are appealing, and the food is generally good. The entire operation is quite large with a large staff - so you will not get Four Seasons levels of pampering and service but the cost difference is substantial and Aurora's vibe is so much more relaxed and the service on the whole is very good (the few weak points here and there are offset by the truly exceptional staff, which there are many). Despite its physical size, Aurora's total room counts are not high - so it always feels spacious and relaxed, and available for your family to enjoy. We had a great week. A few notes for more detail - if being at the beach is a priority for you (you're on Anguilla!), the Rendezvous side is vastly superior. The beach suites are very good - we concluded that the 2nd floor was best and buildings 6 - 8 were ideal (1 -5 are by the restaurant and 9 and 10 have the path that the beach staff use vehicles on and that makes noise in the morning). Being in the beach suites has you steps away from the beach, allowing you to easily go out and speak with the beach staff to get set-up on preferred beach lounges for the day (they were always able to get you set-up, there's plenty of beach, but going out early - like between 8 and 9 to get set-up was ideal). The sea was perfect during our stay, and we enjoyed walking down to the Sunshine Shack (classic Caribbean beach bar and grill a few hundred yards down the beach on Rendezvous Bay) for lunch a couple of times instead of eating on the resort. BUT we still spent plenty of time over on the Merrywing side, at the water-park/activity-park, and in Merrywing's larger and more lively pool area (the Merrywing beach was not appealing when we went there, but the Merrywing beach restaurant Breezes is quite good and better than the Rendezvous beach restaurant C-Level). The two sides are separated by the golf course so you cannot and would not want to walk but don't worry about this - the ride is about 6 or 7 minutes between the two and the resort has shuttle vans running regularly. We never waited more than a few minutes for a shuttle, which made it nice to run over to the water park for a while in the afternoon after being at the beach. One note to management: the "no drinks" policy on the lazy river is soooo unfortunate! Come on. The steakhouse D'Richards is a nice setting at the golf club and was fairly good (the picanha was a favorite), the beach lobster BBQ on Thursday night was quite an event and very fun, and the pizza at Breezes was surprisingly excellent. Also have to give credit to Aurora's bartenders - they're outstanding, high-skill! You can tell the resort grows its own vegetables and herbs. But going off-resort for meals is a great way to see Anguilla, very safe, and highly recommended. Aurora's concierge and guest services team do a very good job with arrangements, taxis, etc. - highly reliable. I don't think there's anything else that can come close to offering what you get at Aurora. They even had a Queen cover-band at the amphitheater (which is very good if you get a chance to go) when we were there - how great is that?

Aurora is a great place for families just trying to relax and have fun. The workers are great especially Justin Time, Kevin, Chadwick, samaro, kiarie, Kim, jevante, shaq, Elbort and everyone else who works at the resort. Justin Time is never late, never early, he met us at the airport and is always around to help you with anything you need. Thanks Aurora we will see you next year!

Just checked into Aurora, to say it’s beautiful would be an understatement!  I have very high standards lol I am someone who has been Zemi Beach once and Cap Jaluca  four times in the past five years .I didn’t know what to expect. Aurora is just beautiful. All of the people we have encountered have been lovely friendly and incredibly helpful in wanting to make this a special trip for us! When I texted with the Concierge and requested a case of Fiji water in our room, it was there waiting for us when we got there. No detail left unchecked ! They even decorated our beachfront suite with birthday balloons for me! The grounds are beautiful and the room would be comparable to Cap. . We are in a walkout king size on rendezvous Bay. Our children were in the tower on the Merrywing side. What really makes this Resort stand out is the staff ! They go out of their way to make you feel like family and friends. So besides an impeccable resort that is spectacular on a bay that is just one of the most beautiful in the world. You have a warm welcome everywhere you turn!

The service here is amazing. The staff really went above and beyond to make our family vacation perfect. We are especially grateful to Justin who was always ready to accommodate us. It would not have been the same without him. We went at a peak time but it never felt too crowded. Golf was great. The tennis pro, Joon gave my son some great pointers. Recommend staying on the Rendezvous Bay side if you appreciate a more serene experience. Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor. The water park isn't much, but certainly try to get out t of the resort at aome point if you can. Naveen gave us great recommendations. Go over to Crocus Bay; it is truly memorable as is the sunset on the west side of the island.

There is much to love about Aurora Anguilla and very little not to love… Our first very favorable impression was before we arrived — the very helpful and efficient concierge service helped us arrange dinners and advise us on activities etc. They planned all of our dinners at our request!! (And btw in busy season you really want to book dinners in advance). But what really blew us away was that --- at our arrival --- Justine met us! With his BIG friendly smile and warm welcome! I had no idea that someone would meet us — actually my husband had read about Justin in the reviews. The reason I had not expected to be greeted is because we had booked a rental car so we did not need ground transportation — but Justin was there nonetheless to make sure we had our bags, could find the car, etc. This made us feel very special and welcome! Another experience that just blew us away was that they had secured some chairs for us on the beach. I had mentioned in an email a while back (just once and did not even remind them before we arrived) that the one thing that was important to us is to be away from the crowds. When I went to the beach the day after we arrived — a gentleman told me - “we were waiting for you yesterday. We have received for you two chairs way down the beach where it is very quiet.” I was really blown away by this, and it really made my week! I felt like I was on my own private beach all week. About the resort…. It is definitely a family friendly place. I was so impressed with who nice they were to the children — and of course most kids are more well behaved when they feel welcome and a part of the vacation. What was very impressive was how they made my husband and I feel welcome - as a couple who wanted nothing to do with the delightful children. It really takes a skill to make everyone feel welcome….. The staff is so amazingly helpful and warm and nice — even for Anguilla standards!! BTW the families were raving about the water park, and they also have very nice 3 or 5 bedroom Villa's with pools that go directly onto the beach. If we come back with our family we can consider to stay there. Our room was amazing… we had a one bedroom oceanfront suite. Highly recommend… It is very large and very private. Beautiful and enormous bathroom - with an outdoor shower. (Hint - only use it when it is warm enough 😊.) Big bathtub with plenty of bath salts, plenty of towels always, beautiful luscious robes. They maintain service consistently twice a day — never missed once! (They did frequently forget to service/replenish some things, but each time I called they addressed immediately and very nicely!) The bedroom is very large as is the living room area. We also very much appreciated the second full bathroom. The terrace is so lovely overlooking the beautiful beach -- I loved sit there in the morning and at the end of the day. The beach is spectacular BTW - We visited most of the other beaches on the island — typically having lunch and sitting out for a while. However, our beach was likely the best (Meads Bay is also pretty amazing though…). The water is calmest and the beach is very wide and long. So, lots of privacy. You can definitely find a quite place for yourself (which is what I like to do.) The guys on the beach offer service — a bit variable - but they are very friendly and nice (as are all the folks who work here). My husband enjoyed the golf and they paired him with another single which he enjoyed. I should say that we stayed here because of the golf - and my husband played three days during our week’s stay. I enjoyed the SPA, particularly my 90-minute massage and 90-minute facial - it was amazingly professional and excellent service. And boy, she used every minute!!! About our dining experiences at the resort… The food quality here is very high. We were immediately impressed with our snack on the beach when we first arrived — we had a light lunch. Incredibly tasty. We had only two dinners here at the resort (we love the local restaurants…) but both were amazing. Especially our steak dinner at DJ Richards, where we also splurged for an excellent bottle of wine. DJ Richards was among our best meals during our stay here. We had breakfast only one time - since we did not enjoy it very much and it did not seem a good value. But we did enjoy the pastry and coffee at their cafe on site! I enjoyed this every morning! More generally about Anguilla….. we simply LOVE this island… we have been coming here 25+ years from when we were newly married (so just two us) to bringing our very small children, and then our bigger children as they got older…. Now we come alone again -- just the two us - and still it is a magnificent place. But while our own circumstances have evolved over the years, Anguilla has remained the same...The people are so warm and genuinely friendly — nearly everyone (over so many years….) had made us feel like we are visiting their home as welcome guests. It is amazing how this has not changed over such a long period of time. The island is now more popular and easier to travel to now...However, the appeal and the charm have not changed at all. We still LOVE Tasty’s and Nat’s place (Palm Grove) and E’s Oven - we have so many fond memories of these places and they are still delicious and welcoming! We miss Hybernia and Smokey’s, and Roys will now close as well. But we love the new places we tried especially SandBar (which we discovered on our last trip) and Vincys and Karaya, which are now new favorites…. On our way to the airport today we will have a last lunch at Tasty’s…. I can hardly wait...

The Estate villa was very nice. The golf course, gym, and tennis were all well done. We ate in all the restaurants. The food was good to very good in all the restaurants. The service in most of the restaurants was generally slow and sometimes orders were incorrectly taken. I guess one needs to keep in mind that staff generally operate on "island time."

The resort was great for a family of 4. We enjoyed the atmosphere, the beach and the facilities, including the pool and water park. I do wish they had better sleeping options to accommodate families - the beds are small and only one cot allowed per room so makes it tough for families > 4 and/or with older kids. Overall, a very positive experience.

Our stay at Aurora Anguilla was nothing short of exceptional — and that’s saying a lot considering our trip home took an unexpected turn. We were traveling with kids and found ourselves suddenly stranded due to ferry issues, turning what was supposed to be a departure day into an extended stay. What could have been incredibly stressful was handled with such grace, professionalism, and genuine care by the Aurora team. The property itself is stunning — serene, beautifully designed, with that effortless Anguilla luxury that feels both elevated and relaxed. The beach is pristine, the rooms are immaculate, and every detail feels intentional. But what truly sets Aurora apart is the people. Keresha, the Front of House Manager, went above and beyond before we even knew we needed help. She proactively began negotiating on our behalf to secure coverage for our extended stay and worked tirelessly to ensure we were settled comfortably for several extra days. From coordinating accommodations to assisting with laundry and making sure our family had everything we needed, she handled it all with warmth and calm confidence. Travel disruptions can reveal a lot about a hotel — and Aurora proved it is a place that truly takes care of its guests. We arrived already loving the property. We’re leaving deeply grateful for the experience and the incredible team behind it. We will absolutely be back — hopefully next time with a smoother departure, but knowing we’re in the best hands either way. We are so grateful to the entire staff for going above and beyond— Javed, Jermaine, Kevin and so many more made our trip so memorable!!
