An elaborate menu of recreational amenities isn't necessarily on the agenda for every traveler. While some prefer a hotel offering numerous recreational activities, others can enjoy themselves with a small selection of recreational options, since their top priority is just to relax. Although this hotel doesn't have a very extensive array of recreational resort amenities the Shoal Bay Villas may have what everything you really care about.

Water and Fitness

Because the hotel features a pool, guests will find plenty of opportunities to cool off after a busy day of exploration. While spending a day at the poolside may be just what you need for a little rest and relaxation, you may also enjoy the convenience of a refreshing swim before enjoying happy hour.

Tennis

The hotel doesn't have a tennis court, so if tennis is important to you, this may not be the ideal hotel. This generally isn't a big deal to most guests, since they have an assortment of other activities available.

If you really have a passion for the game, you may want to compare this hotel to others that also offer tennis – especially those hotels which are the most highly rated for tennis. Two other hotels that may be worth considering are Malliouhana Hotel & Spa and Carimar Beach Club.

Golf

Although the Shoal Bay Villas does not have a golf course, it may be possible to arrange for a tee time at a local course if you are hoping to play some golf during your visit.

Watersports

Although watersports aren't available at this hotel, there are vendors located elsewhere along the coast of Anguilla. All it takes is a few phone calls, and visitors can arrange with one of these local providers to participate in a watersport.

Family Activities

You are free to bring your kids to the Shoal Bay Villas, but this hotel doesn't offer very many amenities for kids. Because there are very few kids' amenities at this hotel, guests who are traveling with children should think carefully about their priorities and weigh their other options before making a final decision. To assist with this process, you should also consider one of the hotels that is top-rated for family vacations.

Entertainment and Nightlife

Guests seeking a vacation chock full of live entertainment and exciting nightlife might want to look elsewhere. Unfortunately, the neighborhood around this hotel is quiet, and live entertainment isn't offered by the hotel. But if that isn't a top priority the Shoal Bay Villas may provide the perfect venue for your getaway. The hotel has a bar, but other options on-site are pretty limited. Nearby hotels offer some other options for nighttime activity, as displayed below:
