Dennis: That is a VERY long story (that will get its own chapter in the Trip Report). Suffice it to say, there are other ways to get there than Scair.

OMG im glad you guys found Koal Keel..What a setting..What a cool old place..No Hibernia? Talk about a party in your mouth..Have you ever met a friendlier bunch of locals? Its just too bad the youngins are trying so hard to be gangsters..Very Sad!
Loved Koal Keel. Did not go to Hibernia because it was just too far - particularly with Mangos, Blanchards and Bananas in the hood.
As to the youth trying to be Gangsta, we saw a fair amount of "Milling About" some evenings. I did not look as though anything particularly mischievous was going on. But it didn't hurt my feelings that the vehicle reliably drove us back to Malliouhana either.
As to the friendliness of the people of Anguilla, I am told that the ladies of The Playboy Mansion are friendly. Dont know, never been there. But after them, the people of Anguilla have to be some of the friendliest people on earth. Great folks.

Koal Keel is in The Valley, the capital of Anguilla and the only thing you would even call a "city" on the island. Great food and entertainment.
A little sax in the city never hurt a meal

You are such a tease. Go to work where you have the proper time to devote to a trip report and, well, report!

I think your observations are right on. We have been over there a number of times during extended trips to SBH. It seems to appeal to a number of our friends that favor or frequent full service hotels. Frankly, AXA delivers or will deliver that product better than SBH - which is fine by me.
The construction is staggering. For better or worse they will have one of the largest concentrations of ultra luxury hotels in the Caribbean. I found the beaches to be spectacular but the interior fairly uninspiring. I miss the lack of a town as well. Little retailing absent what is in the resorts. Its funny, alot of hotels there book day trips to SBH for shopping etc... Glad you had fun.
