Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees
What does ""We Paid"" mean?
Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.
Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.
When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.
We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.
We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.
Five-Star These properties deliver an outstanding experience and consistently offer a highly customized level of service.
Four-Star These are exceptional properties, offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match.
Recommended These are excellent properties with consistently good service and facilities.

Our Inspector's Highlights
Renowned Houston-based Rottet
Studio masterfully redesigned Cap Juluca, enhancing the essence of this
iconic resort while introducing luxurious additions like the ocean-facing
infinity pool and Arawak Spa.
This chic, sprawling resort is
designed to ensure that you have ample space and privacy indoors and outdoors.
With buildings no higher than two floors, beach-facing rooms, large ocean-view
terraces and your own private access to the sands, exclusivity is assured.
Two plush beach lounge chairs with an extra-large umbrella
are allocated to each room, and intercom systems attached to the seats allow
you to communicate your every want and need without interrupting your daily
ocean views.
Beautiful and intricate handmade
tiles adorn the floor, walls and ceilings throughout the Anguilla
hotel. Designed not only to look good but also to feel good, this bespoke
flooring makes walking from the sand into your room a surprisingly luxurious
experience.
The vista of the ocean from the newly built Cap Juluca Spa by Guerlain will soothe you, especially when paired with one of the rejuvenating wellness rituals.
Things to Know
Your own personal Belmond host is
your primary contact and will take care of your needs and any other pesky
details during your stay. To get the most out of your trip, make good use of his
or her extensive knowledge of not only the hotel but Anguilla in general.
The beach-chic Cap Juluca closes
each September and October but opens for the remaining 10 months of the year.
Book in advance to secure a room or suite for the holidays.
Stay fit and active during your
stay by making use of complimentary tennis, basketball and volleyball courts;
ocean-view or beach-front yoga; and non-motorized sports, including kayaking,
tubing and paddle boarding.
The Events Pavilion is a new and
updated ocean-front outdoor space and is great for celebrations, weddings and
social events.
Getting around is easy. Choose to walk, call the front desk, grab a Belmond bike or use a golf cart. Book a suite or villa and a personal golf cart is assigned to you.
Cap Juluca provides wonderful
dining options, but its proximity to many other casual and upscale restaurants
make trying some of the island’s other culinary delights an easy must-do.
The Rooms
Choose from a deluxe or premium
room, one- and two-bedroom suites with or without private pools, or a spacious
villa. The signature Jonquil Suite is the ultimate in luxury, offering its own infinity
pool, an ocean-front Jacuzzi and two bathrooms each with a hot tub.
A beachside sanctuary greets you when you enter your room. The neutral palette and handpicked accessories are illuminated by the brilliant hues of the Caribbean Sea, and functional décor like the four-post bed from Restoration Hardware, the queen-sized sofa bed, smart TVs and the Bang & Olufsen sound system make this an upscale home away from home.
Cap Juluca boasts 24 stunning villas comprising 113 rooms and suites. Ground-floor accommodations
allow for the ease of wandering out your door and onto the dunes and second-floor
stays afford magnificent ocean and rooftop views.
The large in-room bar is never
described as mini. It comes fully stocked by your Belmond host and you can request
your favorite goodies by selecting items from a grocery list.
Ideal for multi-generational
travel, the smart design of the hotel allows multiple options of connecting
rooms and suites throughout the property. You could even book an entire villa
and allow every single room to have access to the pool.
The Restaurants
Acclaimed executive chef Bruno Carvalho has brought his culinary artistry to the luxury hotel. The onsite Chef's Garden is the toque’s playground, from which fresh herbs and vegetables make
their way onto your plate and into cocktails at the bar.
Situated next to the infinity pool, Uchu restaurant provides a scenic spot for authentic Peruvian cuisine made by chef Antonio Aspilcueta.
The iconic Pimms has been
stylishly redesigned and serves Caribbean and International cuisine with a
heavy focus on seafood. Sample lobster bisque and wonderfully seasoned tofu, or

dinner menu shows off the team’s talents.
