Other Information :
Anguilla - pronounced AN-GWILL-A -- is a small, intimate island up the coast of St. Maarten. Anguilla is named for the French word for eel, "anguille," reflecting the shape of the island. The pronunciation, however, is Dutch, which evolved from the Dutch and English traders that colonized the island. Just sixteen miles long and three miles wide, Anguilla is accessible by small, commuter planes or a ferry from St Martin. The lack of jumbo jet service helps the island keep its quiet and uncrowded ambiance.
Less expensive, and consequently somewhat less deluxe than the ultra-resorts on the island, like Cap Juluca, the Anguilla Great House Beach Resort offers friendly, Caribbean service, cozy and affordable accommodations, and a spectacular stretch of beach.
Anguilla is known for its quiet elegance, its island music scene, and its variety of restaurants. There are over 70 eateries on this small island, ranging from beach side barbeques to haute cuisine palaces.
