Everything We Wanted and More!

We came to Three Dolphins right after Christmas for a week with friends and, immediately upon entering the villa, knew we had made the perfect choice for our week-long vacation. Both families have been to Anguilla many times and have rented a number of villas, all of which have been fantastic, but Three Dolphins spoiled us forever. The amenities are vast and we absolutely loved making breakfast every morning in that fabulous, open kitchen with the breathtaking view of St. Martin. Dining alfresco with that view and the beautiful gardens was sublime. Our children, ages 16, 15, 13, and 12, loved exploring the beach, kayaking and swimming in the pool. The two youngest, tween/teen girls, treated the experience like they were on a modeling shoot, taking pictures of themselves in every corner of the property, on every beach and in every restaurant! One evening, we had Patrick from Tasty's prepare a feast of local specialties for us and some friends we met on the island, who were from Italy, and it was a beautiful evening, with a lovely breeze wafting into the dining room, candlelight and a memory that will remain forever. The bedrooms are wonderful and the beds so comfortable, the library was an excellent extra that we used to check our e-mails, print our daily NY Times crosswords (addicted!) and take care of travel arrangements. Kathleen and Joycelyn were terrific, kept the villa in sparkling condition, and were always willing to help. We loved the proximity to many beaches and dining, and spent days at Savannah Bay (Palm Grove), Shoal Bay East (Elodia's), Rendezvous Bay (Sunshine Shack), Cove Bay (Smokey's), and Crocus/Little Bay (Da Vida). One in our party travelled all over the island each morning for baked goods and always returned with wonderful pastries, rolls and breakfast cakes. Chelle was so easy to work with and accommodating. The villa is exactly as advertised and is even more beautiful in person. Thank you for a fantastic week. We can't wait to return!
