Terrible schedule (arrives there at 11.05 and returns to SJU at 11.50am So you've already booked a stay at Calala Island?? Thats also why Im excited about the number of luxury properties theyve added in the past few years, like the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos, the Waldorf Astoria Maldives, and the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills. 95k per night but it seems that all award rooms are rooms with 2 Queen beds which seems odd.

Should be an easy flight to SXM either on UA or JetBlue. If that beach isnt reason enough to make the trip, here are three features of Zemi that make the newcomer stand out even amid Anguillas plethora of high-end offerings. Probably very little evidence I imagine at Zemi specifically since it just took on the LXR brand.

Yea, I've been watching this property pretty closely as well, overnight Monday of this week the standard room redemption (95k) was changed from the 2 Doubles Garden View to 1 King Garden View.

Used my free weekend night from $15K spend on the Surpass AMEX as well as Hilton Honors points with fifth night free. The tuna carpaccio came dressed in caper aioli, arugula and pickled red onion; the smoked salmon was perfectly complimented by pickled shallot, cucumber, fennel and lemon vinaigrette; the vegetable dimsum sat in a tasty lobster bisque; the curried mussels were beautifully fresh and just rich enough. Can't wait as Anguilla and Shoal Bay is our most favorite beach in the world. I stayed at Zemi in 2017 and booked it for a corporate retreat in early 2018 before they were hammered by the hurricane and we had to withdraw the group offer. Can't say enough good things about the setting and the service. I would like to book a trip.

The resort has more of the King rooms so that resulted in a bunch of space opening up. Heading there later this month. Enter Stone, with its seasonally inspired cuisine and Asian influence. My rummelier knew her history, so we chatted for hours about the critical distinction between rum and rhum. I have stayed in this property last year. "On top of that, when booking a cash rate you have to pay a total of 24% in taxes and service charges, while those dont apply on points bookings." I highly recommend that. This hotel looks quite nice to me (though perhaps not epic), and I hope to check it out at some point. Noticing my shock, my therapist Princess explained that I was standing in an actual Thai house, transported to Anguilla several decades ago, when Shoal Bay was utterly deserted.

I looked for a 5 night stay (to take advantage of 5th night free) and there is standard award availability for arrivals in the next two days (last minute planning!) Would love to burn some hilton pesos (and free nights).

Paying with points and saving and additional 24% sounds too good to be true. Glad to see they have recovered, and especially that it is points-accessible now.

The 1 King Garden View is considered a Premium Room. Does anyone have plans to visit Zemi Beach House now that theyre part of Hilton?
