Built in the 80s, the CuisinArt Resort & Spa was one
of the first luxury resorts on Anguilla and even today is one of few on
the tiny Caribbean island. The hotel impresses upon entrance; pretty
domed buildings -- reminiscent of those in the Grecian islands -- dot
the lush, sprawling grounds, and high
ceilings create an airy atmosphere that fits in well with Anguilla's
laid-back island vibe. The decor also incorporates an island theme --
brightly-colored furniture and floral prints are prevalent -- but seems a
bit dated to some. Nonetheless, the gourmet restaurants, island's only
golf course, and a large, modern spa made this a quality luxury pick.
Considering its small size and difficult-to-reach location, Anguilla attracts mostly couples and families looking for a tranquil vacation. At CuisinArt, guests can participate in activities such as cooking classes, wine tastings, fitness classes, and golf. Though these are geared largely towards adults, families can certainly find plenty to do at the resort; there are on-site tennis courts, and non-motorized water sports are offered at the hotel's white-sand beach. The beach is certainly beautiful -- and has the white sand and turquoise waters visitors come to the Caribbean to see -- but it's not as wide or nice as the one at the nearby Viceroy Anguilla, a newer property with a sleeker, more modern vibe.
As a CuisinArt property, the hotel prides itself on its food -- and for good reason. On-site dining options include a Japanese restaurant, an Italian restaurant, a Mediterranean restaurant, a poolside cafe, a beach grill, and a lobby bar. Though many foods must be imported to the island, the menus here boast fresh seafood as well as ingredients from the hotel's hydroponic farm -- a rare find not only in the Caribbean but at hotels in general. The restaurant decor, like the decor throughout the hotel, feels more island-y than upscale, but contributes to the relaxed atmosphere.
