The Manoah Boutique Hotel

Manoah is a boutique hotel with amazing service. Attention to detail sets this property apart from the other hotels we visited on the island. The two mile long white sand beach is gorgeous! The shady padded beach loungers and thick towels are available to the public for a fee. Calvin makes the best cocktails on Anguilla!

Didn’t stay at the hotel, but great food and drinks at the beachside restaurant on Shoal Bay. A step (way) above the surrounding beach fare. Elegant and delicious. And the personal touch is appreciated — big thanks especially to Tzanya, Stefan, and Shana! Can’t wait for our next visit. Highly recommended.

As Shoal Bay villas were fully booked we decided to try the Manoah next door as we knew the location well (in my opinion one of the best beaches in the world). However, we found it almost impossible to contact the hotel with no responses to our emails so we used ******* in the end and hoped for the best. It turned out that the hotel has been having some problems with their reservations so persevere - it’s worth it. We were travelling with our teenage son and had booked a suite in the taller block but were upgraded to two connecting double rooms with a living space in between. The rooms are ENORMOUS (almost too big!), clean, and the block we were in had a balcony running the length of the three rooms with stunning views across the ocean. The decor is a little quirky - mirrors and mirrored surfaces everywhere - but as I wasnt the one having to clean them didnt bother me! The pool is a good size and was often empty with options of loungers or cabins. Unfortunately very little shade in the afternoon. Beach is literally on the doorstep with many reefs just beyond the shore so wonderful if you enjoy snorkelling. The buildings have gardens to the side which attract hummingbirds! We had a couple of lunches and one evening meal (with music from Omari Banks) at the hotel - which were good but so many fantastic options on the island to try. The continental breakfast included with the room was perfect for our needs with fresh croissants (the almond ones were divine) and pots of coffee. They also have a small selection of yoghurts/fruit/cereal and juice. We didnt order breakfast items from the menu so I can’t comment on those. The staff were wonderful - friendly, helpful and courteous. If you’re looking to stay on Shoal bay I can highly recommend the Manoah - it really is fantastic value

My wife and I are here now in Shoal Bay. Went to this resorts restaurant. We were there at 6:30pm and were worried because we were the only ones there. Started with a bottle of water and guacamole and chips. Found out water is $7. Won’t do that again. Chips and guac were good. I ordered the tuna steak and wife got the shrimp. I fell asleep waiting for it to come. 45 minutes. Asked for no onions and the tuna was covered with onions. Fish was dry and no flavor. Wife’s shrimp was dust okay. Waited another 10 minutes for check. Once was enough. Don’t waist your time we heard from others same problems. There are to many better restaurants on this beach. Server was nice but felt sorry for him because no one else came here.

Very spacious, clean suite, right on the beach. Huge bathroom -shower area. The staff was friendly and helpful. Drinks at bar delicious. Pool is beautiful. Breakfast staff very kind and fresh picked mint tea provided every morning. Full Breakfast meals can be purchased and are very good. Continental breakfast provided with room - fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal and delicious warm croissants . Restaurant is right on the beach, but Dinners need improvement - food was delivered warm/cold.

READ these reviews carefully before booking here. Most people will say the beach is amazing (which it is) but the hotel is NOT. You can go to the same beach and rent a chair and umbrella while staying elsewhere - and saving a whole lot of money!!!! After my email to Barbara, the manager, went ignored, I am resorting to a review online. I concur with many reviews here saying the beds are very hard & uncomfortable. The breakfast waitress during the week was rude and put out by having to bring us coffee - everything else was self-serve continental. There were a couple of pleasant people on staff but Barbara, the Manager of the resort was not among them. When we went to the office to ask for help one night (because after three requests for a telephone in our room with no avail, we had to go downstairs to ask for anything), Barbara was on duty, she saw us in the empty office waiting, and walked the other way. We saw her walk away. Only after walking to the bar and getting the bartender involved did she arrive and help us, clearly aggravated. The island is lovely and there are LOTS of other options. Save yourself money and stay elsewhere. Hopefully the owners read the reviews and remedy the weak links, because the management is really lacking.
