Zemi Beach House, LXR Hotels & Resorts

What an amazing experience the one we had! From Miami we flew 3 hours (AA) and arrived on a little nice airport, where it took us 15 minutes to go through customs and get out, and 15 minutes more to get to the hotel with the Hotel Shuttle. The hotel is a beauty lost in the most beautiful beach on the island. It’s like staying on a luxury boutique hotel in Indonesia with an ancient spa on the top of the hill on Hotel lands. The food was spectacular too (fresh fish and salads all day). Nice italian restaurant too. The staff was great and always on top of us. Adriano, the chief engineer of the hotel, took me to a secret spot for kite-surfing What more can someone pretend? Thank you all and see you back Soon ;)

Zemi Beach House is a 10 out of 10! As a frequent traveler of high end properties in the Caribbean, our family experienced excellent food, friendly service, helpful staff and an unbelievable beach experience. Zemi Beach house was extremely clean and well maintained. Lush gardens and well kept bathrooms and guest rooms. This is a newer property on the island (built in 2016 I believe) and they work hard at keeping everything in tip top shape. Zemi is located on the other side of the island (about 25/30 min from ferry port and airport) on Shoal Bay- we had unobstructed views of soft sand and clear turquoise ocean waters on our comfortable beach chairs with umbrellas. Peaceful unimaginable raw beauty. Shoal Bay in Anguilla is one of a kind. Jet skis and other water sports are not permitted which created a perfect serene relaxing atmosphere. Our room was steps away from the peaceful beach. With only 76 suites we felt like we had the property all to ourselves. The nightly lobby music and drinks at bohio lounge was festive and enjoyable as was the beach dinner with a fantastic band and delicious Caribbean food. The Thai House Spa was the most unique spa experience of my life. Nestled in zen gardens, the treetop massage rooms give a feeling that you are transported to another place. The Hamaam was pristine with white marble and silver lanterns- the mud deck was restorative and relaxing- and the one hour massage was beyond relaxing. Thank you to all those who helped make our stay enjoyable, especially, Stacy at Run Room, Michael on the beach, uniqua, Josette and all the breakfast staff, Surya and Jean at the Spa and everyone who was there during our stay. We definitely will be back to Anguilla soon and look forward to many more years at Zemi Beach House. Thank you- this property is magical!

We were lucky to have been able to stay at the Zemi after our flights were cancelled due to flooding in Miami. We stayed 3 nights on Meads bay and had driven to and walked through the Zemi to see if we would want to stay there on a future visit. We thought it was a lovely area but usually choose locations with more independent options for drink and dining around them. But when we got a text from our airline and realized we could not get home for 2 days we immediately fell back to our go-too chain, Hilton to find options for the extension. We were lucky that the Zemi had a room available for us. We took a taxi to the Zemi and they welcomed us with rum punches and cool towels. (which we needed after the stressful day of cancelled flights). Our room wasn't ready so we ended up waiting at the pool, which was really pretty warm in travel clothes. But we found we could wait in the AC in the lower guest services area. Once the room was ready it was a very nice garden view room that overlooked the upper adult pool. It had a lovely covered balcony with a couple chairs and huge bathroom with shower and soaking tub. After a while we went out to get drinks and something to eat. We had noticed that there were no, well only 1 that we could find, restaurants within walking distance other than the restaurants in the resort. But that was fine for our two night stay. We did find the price of wine in the resort to be very high after having just been to St Martin where wine is generally much more reasonable. But everything on Anguilla seems pretty expensive. We went to the Bohio bar & Loung and tried their most reasonable wine and didn't like it, so went with a bottle that was pretty expensive. We also ordered a pizza that was really reasonably priced. The wine and pizza were both excellent and the atmosphere was lovely. The next day we got up early and went to the beach. We started on the right end, but there was a constant banging from construction next door. So we moved to the far left end of the beach and it was pretty well sheltered from the construction. The water is beautiful. It was kinda funny that some sea grass came in and washed up on shore just after we got on the beach. But the staff did well cleaning it up through the day. As Hilton Diamond members we had free access to the breakfast buffet at the hotel. It was very nicely set up with tasty options. Spent the rest of the day reading on the beach or lounging in the pool. It was very quiet and relaxing, which is probably my highest compliment for any resort. There was music by the pool which i could have done without, but it was not too loud. That evening they had a manager's reception in the Bohio that we attended. They provided drinks (wine for us) and appetizers. Both were very good. We asked and found the wine they provided was the "reasonably" priced wine we had not gotten the night before. So we got a bottle of it and it was very nice. Not sure why we had not l

Beautiful and quiet resort located on Shoal Bay. The beach right outside our room is exquisite. The meals that we’ve had here have been very good, but there are a lot of other dining options that a a short walk away. Our room is spectacular. Everything is new and modern and there is nothing left to desire. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. We had an issue with the air conditioning in our first room and they attempted to fix it immediately, but when they realized it was not going to be a quick fix, the manager upgraded us to a gorgeous beachfront room and transferred all of our luggage. We couldn’t be happier at this resort and will be returning for many years to come!

Forget Four Seasons! Forget Ritz Carlton! Zemi Beach is the best hotel that I’ve ever stayed. Gorgeous beach. Serene. Luxurious. Proud staff. The hotel covered every detail including sun tan lotion at the beach. Well, they could use two ply toilet paper. Food was top notch!!

I had such high expectations for Zemi based on reviews and ratings. Sadly the resort fell short for me. We first stayed at the Four Seasons (5 star all the way) for 4 nights, then Zemi Beach House for 2 nights. Preferred the Four Seasons for various reasons. Let's start with the good. The resort itself is lovely. The beach is stunning and the Infinity pool facing the ocean with daybeds, absolutely dreamy! Honestly one of the most beautiful beaches we have been to, and we've been to many. Beach and pool are a short walk from rooms which is super convenient. Room itself was spacious and well appointed. Amazing bathroom with indoor AND outdoor shower, also a soaking tub. Breakfast was decent, although they got my omelet order wrong both days. The Rhum room we almost didn't get to try (more on that later) is a must-do! Dinner at the sushi lounge was good, as was the live music. Service was mostly good, had to wait 30 minutes for an order of not very good guacamole...kind of annoying. I don't recall Beach service to order food and drinks. You had to go to the beach bar to order and they would deliver to your loungers. Cocktails were tasty and reasonably priced but weak. For the most part staff was very friendly. The Bad. Ocean view rooms are a must for us. My husband booked our 2 nights using loyalty points. To ensure an ocean view, my husband went with the additional point option of Ocean View. He was actually able to select the room on the websites site map. We picked what looked like an awesome ocean view room. When we arrived, we were informed that we had received an upgraded ocean view room, room 612. YAY!! As stated above, the room interior was very nice. Our room had a small balcony (another must have for me) with two chairs facing the beach at a side angle that had mostly a lovely view of the long stretch of beach. I say "mostly" because there was also a view of ongoing construction. When I walked out on the balcony I noticed some bird poop on the floor but didn't think too much of it. The following day I went on the balcony and discovered bird poop all over one of the chairs AND on my swimsuit that I had placed out to dry. GROSS. It was then that I realized the balcony wasn't really covered, it had wood slats that did not offer shade and was apparently a favorite pooping spot for birds. So basically the balcony was a completely unusable space as it offered no shade and the risk of being pooped on was high. This was an upgraded room?? Huh. I think I would have preferred the room we originally picked out. We viewed it from the outside and it did indeed have a fully covered balcony and had ocean views without construction views and noise. Sadly, no sitting outside enjoying the view for me. VERY disappointing. I honestly feel like we got screwed, we used a HUGE amount of points for these 2 nights, enough points to books 7 nights somewhere else nice. Had we been staying longer, We would have requested a different room, but it didn't seem
