Fountain Anguilla

My family loved the Fountain Anguilla. Excellent location and short walk to absolutely stunning beach. The condo was lovely, spacious and very comfortable. The Fountain staff were very helpful and friendly and kept the condo and grounds immaculate. It’s a very reasonable alternative to the costly luxury hotels. The beach lounger setup at Tropical Sunset was great!

The fountain was PERFECT for our stay. Spacious, functional and comfortable - we could not have found a more special place for our first (not last!) trip to Anguilla. Situated a 3 min walk from the Shoal Bay East , we were in the oceanside penthouse - Taramind Suite. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom spacious with amazing storage space and our kitchen/livingroom was comfortable, functional and attractive. The grounds at this residence are kept beautifully and there is a quiet, intimate and friendly atmosphere about the place. Rent a car - run to the grocery store or Ben’s pitstop for dinner. The island is easy and fun to explore. We can’t wait to go back - it’s truly a gem.

Great place, but almost impossible to go wrong with the amazing beach and the beautiful clear water! Very nice staff and office personnel!

We’ve just returned from 5 nights at Fountain Residences, completing our first trip to Anguilla. We cannot wait to return! We went into this with several beliefs about Anguilla: it is the culinary capital of the Caribbean, it boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, the people are known to be the most friendly and welcoming. We also knew that it was known to be the playground for the rich and famous, which, to us, meant ‘expensive’. So, we sought to confirm or refute all of the above. With decades of Caribbean travel under our belts, but no visits to Anguilla, we faced a challenge. We wanted to prove to ourselves that we could experience Anguilla in an authentic way whilst also not sending ourselves into bankruptcy. An airline deal shifted planning into full swing, and we began to research accommodations, with no idea about locations on the island. Like usual, I used online forums to crowd-source insight from experienced visitors. I knew I didn’t want a large resort experience where the expense of each night made me feel obliged to use the resort amenities and sit on the same beach each day. We fancy ourselves as travelers, not tourists, who desire opportunities to immerse ourselves in culture, people, cuisine, music, art, and of course, landscape. We like to maximize our dollars, seeking the best our money can buy but also at a rate which makes us feel good about whatever happens. After much research and comparing (isn’t the research and planning half the fun??) we confidently selected Fountain Residences, a choice which was celebrated by online communities of experienced travelers. We secured a penthouse studio, which everyone said was large enough to be considered a small suite, completed with living area and beverage/snack alcove. We were in the building closest to the ocean/beach, with sweeping views of both the ocean and the pool from our balcony. Prior to arrival, our communication was perfect. Questions were quickly answered, and pre-arrival guides were helpful. Due to a family emergency, we had to cancel and rebook, which was done with ease. The studio was lovely – on the third (top) floor of the building, which yielded vaulted ceilings which made it feel even more spacious. Furnishings were British West Indian (British Colonial Plantation) style, which I’d come to adore following an article about this style in Architectural Digest. The elegance of the furnishings and customized built-ins made the room comfortable. The built-in wardrobe offered everything from sliding pants racks, lingerie drawers, abundant hangers, a safe. The beverage alcove offered a tea kettle (how British of them!), coffee pot, microwave, plates, mugs, wine glasses, utensils, coffee, tea, wine opener, paper towels, dish sponge and dish liquid. Also, you’ll have a small hotel-sized fridge (with freezer/ice tray). Bathroom: larger double vanity with more customized built ins with plenty of storage and electrical outlets. No clutter

I have stayed at this spot next door to heaven so many times I can't keep up with them. Why ? Because it's the best value in Anguilla for quality, customer service and where is there a beach than Shoal Bay. Prudence, Sherri and the team are just simply the best. It's convenient to really solid restaurants and the people are wonderful . Twenty first visit to the island and it just keeps getting better. It's suited for couples or families. Can't wait to return . Thanks Fountain team for being the best in the business. Michael

April 21, to April 25, 2024 We had a wonderful experience at Fountain Anguilla. Merlyn and Prudence were a pleasure to work with leading up to and during our stay. The property is beautifully landscaped, well-maintained, offers ample lighting and is a short 5 min walk to a beautiful white sand beach and within walking distance to a few restaurants. Free outdoor parking in the property. Our room "Seabreeze" was wonderful - - clean, well-maintained and thoughtfully decorated. The mattress was very comfortable as well as the pillows. The towels were good quality. It was a nice surprise to stay at a property that offers quality toilet paper. More electrical outlets would have been nice, but we worked with what was in the room. Highly recommend the Fountain Anguilla!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fountain Anquilla. We stayed in a studio suite which had a drip coffee maker , small microwave and small fridge. It was even better than we imagined! Remember there are only stairs to your unit, no elevator. Housekeeping were great and there is a washer and dryer on each floor so you can pack light! The walk around the corner to the beach was always fun and felt like a tropical escape. The complimentary chairs at Tropical sunset was a plus! The pool at the fountain was great and very quiet. We were the only ones there. The studio units are a lockout to the two bedroom units. You can definitely hear the adjacent unit that has a full kitchen, stove etc so there was ‘kitchen noise and conversation that spilled over. It did not bother us at all but could other people. A car is definitely recommended if you want to reach out to other areas. Taxi’s are available but can certainly add up. Prudence hooked us up with a driver and that was awesome. I have rented a car on former visits but just didn’t want to drive this time. The Zemi Beach House Resort is right next door to Fountain and we absolutely loved dining there or renting their beach chairs. (That was an awesome deal FYI and we did it 3 times.) I found the food at Zemi well priced and the portions generous. Highly recommend renting chairs and having beach service there. $50 /chair and you get that back towards food and drink credit! I will definitely stay here in the future. The beach is spectacular and Prudence the property manager puts the P in PERFECT!

We loved our stay at Fountain. Prudence was so friendly and helpful, especially since it was our first stay in Anguilla. She quickly responded to our emails before our visit. Once there, we'd pop in and ask about different beaches and places to eat. She always steered us in the right direction. We rented a one bedroom penthouse poolside unit and were very satisfied. We like making breakfast in, and the kitchen was well-equipped for our needs. The balcony is huge and does have a good view of the water. The bed was a king and very comfortable. We enjoyed the walk-in shower in the bathroom. Everyone working at Fountain was friendly and accommodating. We did try the walk to the beach at Tropical Sunset. It is do-able, but we preferred to hop in our rental car and take the two minute drive. We thoroughly enjoyed walking up to the restaurant for a leisurely lunch. For lunches, there are quite a few walkable place on the beach besides Tropical Sunset. For dinner, you can walk to Zemi, or drive three minutes to Maderiman or Ocean Beach Club at Manoah Hotel. Both were very good and right on the beach. If you don't mind the 25 minute drive at night, there are lots of places for dinner at Mead Bay. We decided to drive there for lunch at Straw Hat and loved it. At Rendevous Bay, Prudence suggested Sunshine Shack. It took us a while to navigate the dirt roads to get there, but it was well worth it! They have lounges there, too, but we preferred using our rental chairs. For a great barbecue take out, definitely try Ken's. We also found that Le Bon Pain is a great place for take-out baguette sandwiches. Both are reasonably priced. We're seriously considering another vacation in Anguilla and will stay at Fountain. Shoal Bay is beautiful, and there's so much more to explore!

So happy to find a reasonably priced, clean place to stay on Anguilla. Friendly staff Prudence and Merlyn available to answer questions and check in with you. The studio unit was more than enough space for me and I really didn't need a full kitchen. As noted the Tropical Beach Bar and Restaurant where the free beach chairs are is a very long walk on the beach. For me it was easier to walk on the road, as very few cars pas by and it's flat. Also, you pass a restaurant called Hanks in the hills on the way which I would stop and by food to go. The pool is nice, but always seem to have stuff floating around in it. The location is quiet and as it's next door to Zemi Beach Hotel where I would go there for a couple of dinners. Looking forward to returning next year.
