Lovely staff but worst night of my life!
Nice rooms, amazing staff, relaxed atmosphere, great view and a short drive to shoal bay beach! I wanted to love this hotel but there were so many things that made this one of the worst stays ever. I wouldn't consider myself high maintenance and I'm usually easy to please so I was quite disappointed. The room does not have a/c unless you pay more, which I believe is $20/night. It seemed silly that the room, at the rates they charge, didn't have air conditioning included. We were advised that the rooms are quite comfortable without ac as there is a ceiling fan and a nice breeze at night...WRONG it was unbearably hot, worst sleep of my life, if I even slept at all! Even with absolutely no blankets, no clothes, all the windows open and even the door, we were dripping sweat. The showers were another issue... the water smelled awful- I wouldn't use it to brush my teeth or drink! There was zero water pressure, literally drops at a time from the rain shower head...and only one temperature, hot...which doesn't feel nice on a sunburn or on a day where it's 95 degrees out. The pool is also run down, which I didn't mind as the beaches in Anguilla are amazing!! Wifi is also and additional $20 or so a night. So in my opinion after all the add ons of wifi and ac you may as well stay at a fancier resort for the same price of ~ $200/night.

Very nice people
The hotel consists of a few cute cabanas. Dual level - One room per level. They're not the newest, but we found our room to be clean and breezy with a nice view as we were upstairs. (You pay extra for aircon) The water went a couple times while showering, but it came back within a minute. It's run by a lovely lady and her family who were gracious and friendly hosts.

Homey and relaxing
We had an awesome time here----not luxurious but clean and had everything we needed. Loved Maria (the innkeeper) and her daughter Natalie--very gracious and accommodating, willing to drive guests to nearby beaches and make meals according to their guests' needs. By the time we left we felt like friends of the family. Would definitely return. Just be prepared for a more rustic, relaxed experience a bit off the beaten path, which has its pluses and minuses.

Worst Hotel Experience That We Have Ever Had!
Upon arrival we were appalled to realize that this hotel looked so different than the internet photos and description! We wonder if the photos were taken many years ago as apparently the Inn has now fallen into disrepair and is no longer cleaned and maintained. The surroundings were cluttered with junk, the paint was peeling on all boards and fences, everything was rusty and boards were falling off and missing. Due to a recent rain, the young man that help us with our bags had to sweep water from in front of our room door, but nevertheless deep water still settled there because the balcony floor was sinking down, so we had to drag our suitcases through water. Upon inspection of the room's interior, we noted thick amounts of hair on the bathroom floor, mold behind the sink back-splash, rust and corrosion on the bath lights and toilet paper holder, dirty shower floor and curtain. There were distinct stains on the pillowcases and linens, mold and thick dust on the rattan headboard, ceiling fan with layers of material peeling off (we were afraid to use it as material was falling down on us), two view windows that you could hardly see out of due to heavy stains and thick mold, (hadn't been cleaned for quite some time). The toilet almost overflowed twice and the shower wouldn't drain well. Since the place was not sanitary and the internet did not represent it accurately, we asked the manager for a refund. She refused.. and so we had no choice but to leave anyway. We were very unhappy with Arawak Beach Inn and not comfortable staying there because of all the dirt, mold and disrepair. It is a shame to see such a place falling apart.

Fun stay, staff is great!
My girlfriend and I stayed there for a couple of nights as a little prelude to our St. Martin vacation and we were both very happy. I would recommend this to any of my friends. Overall, we felt very safe and well taken care of. The style is very beachy and simple with all of the necessary amenities including a bar and restaurant. For the price bracket this place is in, I think they do a great job. Everything is as advertised. We had an Oceanside room and it was right by the ocean and we could hear the waves all night just like we wanted. Keep in mind, this isn't beachside; you're only 20 feet from the ocean, but the terrain is rocky. Although in our room they weren't in "like new" condition, the room had all of the amenities you would expect in working order. There are other rooms with nicer amenities; we were in one of the more economy rooms. Maria (manager) and her staff are very polite, knowledgeable, and more than willing to go out of their way to help you. They were extremely nice and were able to provide us with great suggestions of places to visit on the island. No matter what price range, style you prefer, or region of the island, they knew what they were talking about.

Quaint yet very Disappointing. Misled by photos.
The photos are misleading. They mostly represent the two newly renovated rooms that were not occupied and were not given to us. I think it is a grave injustice to misrepresent what is actually being offered as that constitutes false advertisement. Not only did we get two rundown rooms but the bathrooms were not clean. They were actually filled with mold on grout and caulking. We had to ask for cleaning agents before we could even set foot in the shower. Do not be misled by the photos. The renovated units are not the ones being offered on Expedia.

I didn't know quite what to expect...but as the taxi weaved through a winding trail that was straight out of a storybook I became more intrigued. A close friend recommended the Arawak for a quick getaway and I figured what the heck. The pastel colored rooftops made me think that maybe I was having a "Alice in Wonderland" moment. I was greeted by Maria, who reminded me of a favorite aunt, she informed me of the meals that were served, and additional amenities that I might like. Since the greeting was A+ I started to doubt what the accommodations might be like. To my surprise, the room was huge with a king size bed that was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. I could lay in the bed and directly in front of me watch an amazing ocean view. At night the sound of the waves would put me to sleep. A great place to visit over and over. The only bad part is that I had to leave. The food at the cafe made me gain weight and Maria is the best hostess in the world!

Maria & her staff were wonderful people. We told them we were there for my husbands birthday weekend. The next day we went to the restaurant & they had baked him a birthday cake. Maria made us the best breakfast we could ask for both days we were there. They gave us maps & directions to every place we wanted to go. We felt like part of their family.

Location not correct in review.
Hotel was listed as in "The Valley" close to the airport. It was not. It is located at Harbour Island which is about a 20 minute drive from the airport. The exterior of the property needs some work but the room was clean and satisfactory. The management was great and the food in the restaurant was good. Overall good value and staff great!

Bad Time in Anguilla
We arrived - to find a pleasing pool. The pics on the internet are misleading - there is NO beach ! Our room was on the 2nd floor - and the unit below was being renovated ALL DAY and into the night - we had to complain twice to get it to stop finally at 9pm. The food was bad - they had a seafood stirfry one night - the seafood was microwaved ! NASTY. and the prices are very high. I would have expected some sort of concesssion by the manager for the noise we had to endure - but none was given.

Fantastic stay on a fantastic island
This was close to the perfect hotel...greeted by the very friendly owner (Maria) with a beer, this hotel has a great level of hospitality. Add to that very comfortable rooms, brilliant views over a fishing village, and within walking distance to spectacular beaches. On my favourite island in the Caribbean, I highly recommend Arawak Beach Inn
