... has a suite deal going this summer:
Rent one room at their summer discount rate and get the adjoining room FREE for the kids.
We are going in early summer. From what I hear, Anguilla is on a massive building spree. We want to see the island before it becomes more developed.
Mhana looks like The Bomb and a couple of my partners have raved over it.

The Mhana site itself is interesting. There are also a variety of Anguilla sites. Mhana does well in the various Places Rated surveys of the Caribbean. I have two partners who have been there and very much enjoy it.
We are doing this as our Family Trip with the kids. We very much have enjoyed the Buccaneer on St Croix and may actually be going back late in the summer. In the meantime, we wanted to do something different. Unlike last summer, Biras Creek does not have a great family deal (rats) but Mhana does. So we'll give it a go and see what happens.

Malliouhana is very, very nice property. The food in the restaurant can be a bit too large portions but excellent in quality, one of the best on the island. Location gives you the best sunset views.
The beach, Mead's Bay, is also one of the best on the island, especially if the wind is elsewhere. There's another property on that end of the beach so it gets a bit crowded but it's a long beach (twice the size of Saline?) and there's plenty of space in the middle and the other end -- only a few seem to take advantage of it, though. If it's too windy, rent a car and e.g. Rendevouz Bay is just a few minutes trip away on the other side of the island.
There are couple of restaurants on the beach as well.
PS. We have only explored the place and eaten there, we have only been in Anguilla during the xmas/new year time and it has always been fully booked and very expensive.

IV-its too late...The building boom is WELL underway..That said,i predict you will love it..The Mali,has one of the coolest Bars/Sitting areas ever..Great place for drinks and free munchies..Please promise me you will make the trip to Junks Hole on your visit..The beach will blow you away..It will make you feel like you're slumming when you're on Saline..Also i highly reccomend a trip to Sandy Island..

Peter: Thanks. It does sound as though "undiscovered" anguilla has been discovered.
Mhana should be big fun. Will give a report when we return

IV.....the Mali is a nice place, we have been there about 2 times, but only for cocktails.....the staff were terrific. We stayed down the beach with our kids(older teens) in a villa owned by La Sirena(back off the beach).
Meads Bay is very nice, and the Mali has a lot of play-areas on the beach for kids. Its view is awesome too!
We have been to Anguilla 3 times....and actually we were thinking of going next yr. for our 30th anniversary, and staying in Cove Castles(where I've always wanted to check out)....for 2-3 nights, then on to St Barths and a weeks villa stay!!! We did do a 2 b-night stay 2 yrs ago with friends in Anguilla then over to SBs.....I really like the beaches, food and laid-backness of Anguilla.
Anyway...thats a sweet deal you got, I know you will really enjoy it there.

Mhana took a spanking in Travelocity recently. Among the usual glowing reports are two "unsavory" reports.
I pays my money, I takes my chances.

Thanks Peter. I have two friends (yes, believe it or not, I do) who have been to Mali and loved it.
Thanks for setting the record straight.

We always enjoyed Scilly Cay for lunch on our day trips- a little spit of sand on the far eastern shore that serves only grilled lobsters and chicken. The kids will love it too- shallow water for snorkling. It is an adventure. A little boat picks you up at the dock and takes you over. Cute. Not open all the time- just weekends. Music too.
