We stayed in a one ocean view second floor beautiful view’s small kitchen king size bed 3 of us staying no pullout couch only table was on the balcony staff was very nice and friendly and accommodating. Beach was beautiful water was a little cool at first but got used to it once you got in clear blue water. Only problem I had was all the paperwork just to get there and back because of COVID was tress full but it was nice to say the least. A lot of places to eat and drink on the beach. All in all had a great time maybe go back when there is less paperwork to do

Best boutique hotel on Anguilla. Truly the best location on Shoal bay Anguilla

Reviewed By Frank C

Even though we live full time on Anguilla, we staycation here several times a year, since our first visit in 2010. This piece of paradise was the exact spot where we decided to move upon retirement! The gardens are beautiful, the restaurant food is always delicious and Jackie and the staff are the most professional to be found anywhere. Mr. Kenneth Rogers is a friendly and accommodating host. If you want a real taste of the island and the old Caribbean feel this is the place. The beach front here is some of the most photographed in the region. Stunningly beautiful. The best kept secret on Anguilla.

EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS

Reviewed By PamelaJCanada

This year, we decided to do a series of “staycations” during our extended stay in Anguilla. During previous stays, we had eaten in the beachfront restaurant but never stayed in the hotel. Of our five staycations, Manoah was without doubt, best value for dollar. We would not hesitate to recommend and look forward to returning. Manoah is right on Shoal Bay East, feet in the sand, the rooms are spacious, quiet, and spotless, the pool is large, clean and surrounded by lovely tropical gardens, the lounge chairs are plentiful, the beach towels are thick and fluffy, and the restaurant is blessed with a new chef. The staff was always polite and helpful; the rack of lamb was cooked to perfection. Life does not get much better; sitting on the top floor of the Liz building enjoying an uninterrupted view of white, silky sand and turquoise water. Manoah is truly a hidden gem located on one of the Caribbean’s best beaches. Sincere thanks to Shanelle, David, Stacey and Shannon for a wonderful stay.

This was our second visit to Anguilla...a quieter more laid-back island with lots of beauty, wonderful beaches, and amazing people. A very interesting stay - booked for 5 days on VRBO...not sure just how they handle their bookings, but it (our reservation request) was there one day and marked cancelled the next. Owner said it was because they list multiple units via one ad, so it must stay open for anyone else that wants to book, and he assured us we had a place to stay. Also, no charge to my card either before, during, or after my trip (so far that is). When asked he said the billing was done through the "travel agent"...not sure who that is but will keep an eye on things. Everyone was extremely nice in correspondence and when on-site. Our arrival was on the weekend after business hours, but they had someone onsite to greet us and show us around a bit. The facility has been around and is somewhat old school, but they're making lots of efforts to re-vitalize and re-new. Here's a quick shot at the facilities - pool was half full of dirty water. We were told when we asked that it had "just failed the week before”...yet there are several reviews over the last few years indicating that they do have problems with the pool...but hey, it's an older facility. We did complain about the pool and even sent an email to the owner...he didn't respond, and the office staff defended with the "just broke last week" statement...I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now. To their credit, they did fill the pool back up the next day, but it took two days for the water to clear...ready to use the morning we were checking out. Our room was pretty much as advertised...studio or maybe "old school motel" layout...clean, fully functional with a full size refrigerator and stove, and overall pretty good for the price we paid. I will say that the bed was very uncomfortable...hard...might be ok for some but hard on my back. Maybe a memory foam topper would help but either way I wasn't a fan. There were some WiFi issues, but they sent folks over after hours to get us fixed up. WiFi worked great the rest of our stay. TV was good...even a few English-speaking channels which we did not have on St Martin for the balance of our trip. The one thing that made us feel just a bit edgy was that we were the only guest in the entire facility...I know it's off-season, but it was just a bit eerie, especially when we were coming back at night. No security, etc. but we really didn't feel at risk and this area of the island is great, so not a big deal. The overall facility must have been awesome in its day before age and a few hurricanes battered them down. The area around the pool was good except what I'm assuming was a water feature/fountain/fish pool of some sort that was empty and had been for quite some time. The outside bar hadn't been used in a long time and the restaurant area was boarded up and looked like it hadn't been used in over a year...but hard to tell. If they were hit by Irma in 2017 I can understand the impact and it does take both time and a brisk business to enable a full recovery. Some of the rooms that were in another part of the property were not in usable condition...another indication of possible storm impact. Area features...Shoal Bay Beach is absolutely stunning. When we visited in 2016 the surf was pretty strong and frankly it just wasn't that impressive...but this trip changed my mind completely. Beautiful sand, clear blue waters...just awesome. The property really isn't in a spot where walking to Shoal Bay would be easy for most but it's not a mile away either...more like around the corner. The North Shoal Bay Beach is fairly close and easily accessible although they really should clear the path of some overgrowth. The beach itself is in pretty sad condition...very little actual beach for most of the length, lots of rocks under the water in some areas, beach was actually blocked in a few spots by washed up debris (parts of trees and such...not trash). I think the beach was certainly usable with caution...but with Shoal Bay so close...not a hard choice for me. One note...if you go to Shoal Bay Beach, I'd recommend going down the beach to Gwen's Reggae Bar and Restaurant...free parking and complementary beach chairs and umbrellas...and awesome food. If you happen to be there Sunday afternoons there’s great entertainment too. If Pina Colodas hit your fancy...highly recommended! If you want to stay on the eastern end you can park at Shoal Bay Villages...$5 to park and $10 each for a chaise lounge and umbrella...not a bad price and there are several restaurants and beach bars on that end of the beach as well...we did both and preferred Gwen's free parking and free beach chairs and umbrellas 10 to 1, but that's us. So, my overall impression - Allamanda Beach Club is not a bad choice for the budget conscious traveler...you get what you pay for mostly...but it's clean, in the process of being renovated, and you won't find a friendlier staff anywhere. Just make sure you understand you're not going to a $250 a night villa...be realistic. Would I stay there again...maybe...I'd ask a few more questions about the status of some of the amenities for sure. But even without the pool we had a great time and this place served as a great base to explore a wonderful island with charming people. I really like Anguilla...easy to get to from St Martin Marigot ferry, rental cars at Andy's were awesome (wonderful folks!!!!) and no where near the rat race, traffic jammed, people everywhere hustle of St Martin. It's a bit like St Thomas and St John...go to one for the fancy restaurant and shopping (if you still believe there's deals in such places) and the other for peace and quiet, awesome beaches, and a laid-back soak in the sun and get to know each other all over again sort of place. We will definitely be back!
