**Anaconda Boutique Hotel was tragically impacted by *Hurricane Irma* in September 2017 and will not be reopen by October 10th, their seasonal reopening date. We'll update our review as soon as we have more information**. The 27-room Anacaona is a solid mid-range option in Anguilla’s West End. It offers access to the same gorgeous white-sand beach as the neighboring Viceroy -- through an off-property path -- as well as to the nearby Greg Norman’s golf course and a few restaurants. Rooms are large and airy, and have great amenities, including large flat-screen TVs with dozens of channels, iPod docks, free Wi-Fi, and Frette linens. But most bathrooms are lackluster, with old tiling and fixtures. With two small pools, free snorkeling equipment, a great restaurant serving Caribbean fare with a twist, and a massage hut on the beach, the hotel is a good pick for value.

The Frangipani Beach Resort is a surprisingly lively four-pearl option amid the resorts, beach restaurants, and condos along Mead’s Bay. Since 2017's horrible hurricane season, the hotel is fully open for business. It's small status keeps things intimate, and the resort offers a wide selection of free water-sports equipment, an excellent and popular restaurant, and pool overlooking the stunning white sands of the adjacent beach. That beach was one of the prettiest we found during our early 2017 visit. The 19 rooms are pleasant and spacious, with air-conditioning, patios, and free Wi-Fi, though water pressure and temperature can be inconsistent in the bathrooms. For those who don't need as many features, Carimar Beach Club is a secluded option at far end of Mead’s Bay and is often less expensive.
