Anguilla’s sourced local list is short. Paradise Cove Resort is the Black owned report, Franklin and Sherille Hughes at Cove Bay. Anguilla Great House is the Fleming family on Rendezvous Bay. Lloyd’s is the old Valley guesthouse. Villa Pastiche is Rhona Richardson in Sandy Ground. The famous luxury names are a different ownership story.
The Country Poverty Assessment published by the Government of Anguilla, carried on the Anguilla eco index, reports the 2001 census. African or Black origin was 90.1 percent and mixed origin was 4.6 percent. A 2011 ethnicity percentage and the 1967 separation are not printed here, because those tables were not the ones opened. I am not using the census to guess a hotel owner. I am using it so a foreign resort is not mistaken for the island.
Tourism is the first of the island’s main industries. Hurricane Irma in 2017 is the storm I will name for that industry. I am not printing a damage total I have not opened in a government or insurer table. The My Ideal World app can hold the scores. It cannot tell you if a repaired guesthouse is open this week.

Where should you stay in Anguilla?
Match the bay to the owner you can name.
Choose Cove Bay and the West End for Paradise Cove. Choose Rendezvous Bay for Anguilla Great House. Choose The Valley for Lloyd’s. Choose Sandy Ground for Villa Pastiche. Meads Bay is full of famous names, and this guide does not have a sourced Anguillian owner for the ones on the ask list.
| Area | Choose it for | Practical difference |
|---|---|---|
| Cove Bay and the West End | A 29 suite resort with a Black owned report | Ask about the garden setting and the eco gaps. |
| Rendezvous Bay | A Fleming family beach resort | A 2019 restart story needs a current answer. |
| The Valley and Crocus Hill | The Lloyd guesthouse, called the first hotel in 1959 | Ask if the Irma repair is finished. |
| Sandy Ground | A two unit villa | Ask which unit and whether you cook. |
| Meads Bay and the luxury shore | Resorts often discussed as Black owned for the wrong reason | Management is not ownership. Read the next section. |

How do these Anguilla hotels compare?
One Black owned report, three other local sources, no invented scores.
Paradise Cove, Anguilla Great House and Villa Pastiche have eco scores. Lloyd’s is not on the index yet. Google figures are draft snapshots. TripAdvisor counts were not confirmed on each hotel’s own listing page, so the cells say not confirmed. Ask first means late October 2026 did not confirm the dates.
A 2018 beauty list and a 2019 newspaper restart are useful and dated. Ask what is true now.
| Hotel | Where | Owner, with source | Throne Standard | TripAdvisor | Open now | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paradise Cove Resort Boutique resort, 29 suites | Cove Bay, West End | Franklin and Sherille Hughes | 1/5 | Not confirmed here | 4.2 (61) | Ask first |
| Anguilla Great House Beach Resort Beach resort, cottage villas | Rendezvous Bay | Conrad Walton Fleming, main shareholder. Son Wilbert Fleming is general manager | 1.5/5 | Not confirmed here | 4.3 (140) | Ask first |
| Lloyd’s Bed and Breakfast Bed and breakfast | Crocus Hill, The Valley | Lloyd family. Children Vida and David Lloyd carry it on | Not on the index yet | Not confirmed here | Not listed | Ask first |
| Villa Pastiche Villa, two units | Sandy Ground | Rhona Richardson | 1/5 | Not confirmed here | Not listed | Ask first |
Which Anguilla hotels have a sourced local owner?
Four names, and one of them is the Black owned report.
Four stays. Only Paradise Cove has the explicit Black owned report in the source I am using. The others are local families or a named owner without a race line.
Is Paradise Cove Resort Black owned? Franklin and Sherille Hughes are the Anguillian owners in the 2018 report.
Paradise Cove Resort is a boutique resort of 29 suites at Cove Bay on the West End. The Daily Herald in 2018, reporting a most beautiful Black owned hotels list, names Franklin and Sherille Hughes. That is the Black owned source in this guide. Eco is 1 out of 5, purity 1.1 and people 1.9. A beauty list is not an energy audit.
Google showed 4.2 from 61 reviews. The dates were not confirmed in late October 2026. Ask about food, power and whether the garden resort is the stay you think it is, rather than a beach you saw in another photograph.
The Throne Standard scores Paradise Cove Resort 1/5 for eco. The same index records purity at 1.1 out of 5 and people at 1.9 out of 5. The link is the listing for this property. The index file records the numbers. It does not print a sentence for every point, so I will not invent what drove them. A score is not a certificate, and a gap is not proof of harm. It is a reason to ask about food, energy, water, cleaning and who is paid.
This suits someone who wants an Anguillian owned resort near Cove Bay and will ask the practical questions the low eco score leaves open. It does not suit someone who wants a foreign luxury brand.
Who owns Anguilla Great House? Conrad Walton Fleming is the main shareholder, and his son Wilbert manages it.
Anguilla Great House Beach Resort is a beach resort of cottage villas on Rendezvous Bay. The Anguillian in 2019 names Conrad Walton Fleming as the main shareholder and his son Wilbert Fleming, known as Wil, as general manager. Race is not stated in that source, so I will not add it. Eco is 1.5 out of 5 and people is 2 out of 5.
The 2019 piece is about a restart, which is a reminder to ask what is operating now. Google showed 4.3 from 140 reviews. Ask about meals and the beach entry, and confirm the dates.
The Throne Standard scores Anguilla Great House Beach Resort 1.5/5 for eco. The same index records purity at 1.2 out of 5 and people at 2 out of 5. The link is the listing for this property. The index file records the numbers. It does not print a sentence for every point, so I will not invent what drove them. A score is not a certificate, and a gap is not proof of harm. It is a reason to ask about food, energy, water, cleaning and who is paid.
This suits someone who wants a Rendezvous Bay family resort and will confirm the restart is still the current story. It does not suit someone who wants the West End garden resort.
Is Lloyd’s the island’s old family guesthouse? The Lloyd family opened it in 1959, and it needed repair after Irma.
Lloyd’s Bed and Breakfast, also called Lloyd’s Guest House, is in Crocus Hill in The Valley. A beach history calls the Lloyd opening in 1959 the island’s first hotel. The Anguillian in 2019 says children Vida and David Lloyd carry it on, and that it was under repair after Hurricane Irma. It is not on the Throne Standard index yet, and Google had no listing in the draft.
Repair after a hurricane is not the same as open this month. Ask first. I am not printing a rate, and I am not sure the visit listing is the family’s own site. It is only the page used for the open check.
Lloyd’s Bed and Breakfast, a Bed and breakfast in Crocus Hill, The Valley, is not on the Throne Standard index yet. There is no eco score to quote. That absence is not a verdict. It means this guide will not invent one. Ask the hotel about energy, water, waste, food and pay, and treat the answers as claims until you can see the evidence.
This suits someone who wants the old family guesthouse in The Valley and will ask if the repair is finished. It does not suit someone who wants a 29 suite resort.
Who owns Villa Pastiche? Rhona Richardson is named for this two unit villa in Sandy Ground.
Villa Pastiche is a villa of two units in Sandy Ground. True Anguilla names Rhona Richardson. I do not have the villa’s own website in the notes, so the name is not linked to a booking engine. Eco is 1 out of 5 and people is 2 out of 5. Race is not stated.
Google had no listing in the draft. Two units means you should ask which one, and whether a kitchen is included. Ask first on the dates.
The Throne Standard scores Villa Pastiche 1/5 for eco. The same index records purity at 1 out of 5 and people at 2 out of 5. The link is the listing for this property. The index file records the numbers. It does not print a sentence for every point, so I will not invent what drove them. A score is not a certificate, and a gap is not proof of harm. It is a reason to ask about food, energy, water, cleaning and who is paid.
This suits someone who wants a small Sandy Ground villa and will write to Rhona Richardson directly. It does not suit someone who wants a full resort.
Which famous Anguilla resorts are not Anguillian owned?
Management and a foreign buyer stay off the list.
Zemi Beach House was acquired by Dart, the Cayman based Dart group, according to Anguilla Focus. That is not Anguillian ownership.
The Manoah Boutique Hotel is described as owned by someone with restaurant and beach club businesses in St. Martin and St. Tropez, built on the old Ku site. I am not calling that Anguillian ownership.
Aurora Anguilla Resort and Golf Club is often listed as Black owned. Travel Noire says Salamander, Sheila Johnson in the United States, began managing it in 2022. Management is not Anguillian ownership. The photograph in this section is Aurora, so you can see the building people mean, and still read the limit.
Are there Indigenous owned hotels in Anguilla?
No owner identity was verified here.
No. I found no current owner identified as Indigenous. The island’s African descendant majority is the census fact. It is not a substitute for a deed.
Which Anguilla stays still need an owner?
Ask before you call them local.
La Vue Boutique Inn in South Hill, Tranquility Beach, Frangipani Beach Resort, Carimar Beach Club, Chateau Genesis and Edwards Inn and Villas. They look locally run. I do not have a named owner, so they stay off the table.
How can you check a Anguilla hotel before booking?
Use the My Ideal World app to follow the evidence.
The My Ideal World app brings together deep transparency data on two million brands. Scores, verdicts and findings stay free. Create your free account on the web now, and the app is due in the App Store and Google Play before December.
Points for zero waste, sustainable and local actions unlock Keys to deeper reports. Refill a bottle, visit a farm shop or rescue food, and use those actions to look further into the businesses you choose. A green logo is not the end of the decision.
For a Anguilla stay, I would open the eco stays list, then return to the owner source and the Throne Standard numbers in this guide. The app does not replace a message to the hotel about your dates, your meals or the transfer.
Where can you eat local food in Anguilla?
Assume seafood until the cook says otherwise.
Anguilla’s plates are often fish, lobster and pigeon peas. A vegetable side can still sit next to seafood stock. If you eat plant based food, ask before you arrive, because the island is small and the kitchen may not change the menu for one night unless you ask early.
I do not have a sourced farm shop list tied to these four hotels. The photograph filed for Anguilla farm food is a prompt to ask, not a certificate. Lloyd’s and Villa Pastiche may be closer to a kitchen you partly run yourself. Ask if there is a kitchen.
Use the market guide as the method if you find a Saturday stall. Local fish is still fish.
What should you know about Anguillian traditions before you book?
The revolution and the boat races are the island’s own story.
The 1967 revolution is the political memory I will put before a resort spa. People rejected being governed from St. Kitts. A foreign owner on a beautiful bay is a modern version of the same question. Who decides.
Boat racing and Sunday gatherings are the living culture people will point you to. I am not listing herb doses. Caribbean knowledge comes first and belongs with the people who practise it. A hotel garden is not a clinic.
The healing retreats guide is the next page. This page is the company that owns the bed.
When is the best time to visit Anguilla?
Ask about wind, heat and the memory of Irma.
I am not naming one perfect month. Irma in 2017 is the storm in the economic record, not a forecast for your week. Hurricane season is still a reason to ask a beach hotel about shutters and insurance, without turning the trip into a government poster.
Winter weeks are busy on this island. I am not printing a rate calendar. Compare the written total, including tax and the boat from St. Martin if that is how you arrive.
Can you get around Anguilla without a car?
Only if the bay and the ferry match.
Most independent travellers arrive by boat from St. Martin or by a small plane. I am not printing a ferry fare. Ask the hotel which arrival they expect and what the taxi to that bay costs. Cove Bay, Rendezvous Bay and The Valley are not one taxi story.
A resort car is not the same as a public bus. I do not have a sourced island bus fare. Agree the price before the bags go in.
Is it expensive to stay in Anguilla?
The luxury shore and the family guesthouse are not one budget.
I am not publishing room rates. Paradise Cove and Anguilla Great House are resorts. Lloyd’s and Villa Pastiche are small. A low eco score does not tell you the price, and a high luxury reputation does not tell you the owner.
The boat from St. Martin is part of the bill. Add it before you decide a room is a bargain.
Is Anguilla safe to visit?
Plan the boat, the night road and the water you drink.
I am not opening with a government warning. The practical issues are the ferry or the plane, the unlit last road, and the sea on the bay you booked. Ask the hotel how they meet you.
Drinking water on a small dry island needs a plain question. A cistern and a bottle are different. Use a supply whose safety is established. Irma is a reason to ask what was rebuilt, not a reason to skip the question.
How can you check who owns a hotel in Anguilla?
Ask whether the famous name is the owner or only the manager.
Aurora is the lesson. A Black American management company is not an Anguillian owner. Zemi is the lesson about a foreign buyer. Ask for the company and the people who control it, then ask who only manages the desk.
Paradise Cove has the Black owned report. The Fleming, Lloyd and Richardson names are the other local sources. If a Meads Bay hotel will not name the owner, leave it on the ask list. A booking button is not a free room.
What should you ask before booking an Anguilla hotel?
Get the owner, the boat and the plate.
Ask who owns the company and who manages it. Ask how you arrive and what the taxi costs. Ask whether meals include fish or can be plant based. Ask if a villa has a kitchen. Ask what the rate includes.
Ask about rebuilding since Irma if the building is older, especially at Lloyd’s. Ask about power and water at Paradise Cove before you treat a beauty list as an eco report.
Which Anguilla stay would I book first?
I would write to the Hughes family and ask what the low eco score means.
I would write to Paradise Cove Resort first because Franklin and Sherille Hughes are the sourced Black owned resort, and I would ask why the eco score is 1 out of 5 before I paid. For a beach family resort I would ask the Flemings at Anguilla Great House whether the 2019 restart is still the right description.
I would write to the Lloyd family if I want the old guesthouse and they confirm the building is receiving guests. I would not book Aurora, Zemi or the Manoah and call them Anguillian. My pick is the family that answers, not the most photographed bay.
The same ownership question runs across Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Cuba, Curaçao, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, The Bahamas, Trinidad and Tobago, smaller Caribbean islands, African and Caribbean healing retreats. Each guide keeps its own sources. A family named in one country is not evidence for a hotel in another.
What is still unconfirmed at these Anguilla hotels?
Meals, water, power and your dates.
Meals, drinking water, energy, waste and your exact dates stay unconfirmed until the hotel writes them down. Keep the owner source, the guest rating and those practical answers as three separate notes.
Paradise Cove Resort, a Boutique resort, 29 suites in Cove Bay, West End, has no sourced nightly price and no certificate in this guide. Ask about the kitchen, the water and the power before you pay. If the open cell says ask first, do not assume the door is open on your dates.
Anguilla Great House Beach Resort, a Beach resort, cottage villas in Rendezvous Bay, has no sourced nightly price and no certificate in this guide. Ask about the kitchen, the water and the power before you pay. If the open cell says ask first, do not assume the door is open on your dates.
Lloyd’s Bed and Breakfast, a Bed and breakfast in Crocus Hill, The Valley, has no sourced nightly price and no certificate in this guide. Ask about the kitchen, the water and the power before you pay. If the open cell says ask first, do not assume the door is open on your dates.
Villa Pastiche, a Villa, two units in Sandy Ground, has no sourced nightly price and no certificate in this guide. Ask about the kitchen, the water and the power before you pay. If the open cell says ask first, do not assume the door is open on your dates.
Your questions about Black owned hotels in Anguilla, answered
Which Anguilla hotel is reported as Black owned?
Paradise Cove Resort, owned by Franklin and Sherille Hughes, in the 2018 Daily Herald report. It has 29 suites at Cove Bay. The eco score is 1 out of 5, so ask about energy and water.
Who owns Anguilla Great House?
Conrad Walton Fleming is the main shareholder and his son Wilbert Fleming is general manager, in a 2019 report. It is on Rendezvous Bay. Confirm the current operation.
Is Lloyd’s still a family guesthouse?
The Lloyd family opened it in 1959, and Vida and David Lloyd were carrying it on in the 2019 repair story after Irma. Ask if it is receiving guests. It is not on the index yet.
Who owns Villa Pastiche?
Rhona Richardson, for a two unit villa in Sandy Ground. There is no hotel website in the notes. The eco score is 1 out of 5.
Is Aurora Anguilla Anguillian owned?
The source says Salamander, Sheila Johnson in the United States, began managing it in 2022. Management is not Anguillian ownership. Do not use a Black owned list that stops at the manager.
Who owns Zemi Beach House?
Dart, a Cayman based group, acquired it. It is not Anguillian owned.
Are there Indigenous owned hotels in Anguilla?
This research did not verify one.
What are the eco scores?
Paradise Cove is 1 out of 5, Anguilla Great House is 1.5 out of 5 and Villa Pastiche is 1 out of 5. Lloyd’s is not on the index yet.
Was Lloyd’s the first hotel?
A beach history describes the Lloyd opening in 1959 as the island’s first hotel. That is the source. It is not a reason to skip the repair question.
How many Anguillians are of African descent?
The Country Poverty Assessment reports the 2001 census. African or Black origin was 90.1 percent and mixed origin was 4.6 percent. That is not a hotel deed.
Can I find plant based food in Anguilla?
Only if you ask early. Seafood is the usual plate. A vegetable side is not a vegan meal.
When should I go?
Ask about wind and about winter crowds, and ask older buildings what was rebuilt after Irma. I am not naming one perfect week.
Can I visit without a car?
Only with a ferry or flight plan and a taxi you confirm to the right bay. I am not printing a fare.
Is a low eco score a reason to skip a Black owned resort?
It is a reason to ask, not a verdict by itself. Paradise Cove has the ownership source and a score of 1 out of 5. Get the energy and water answers.
How do I check ownership myself?
Ask if the famous person manages or owns. Aurora and Zemi are the examples. Then ask for the company.
What did Irma do to tourism?
Hurricane Irma in 2017 is the storm named for that industry. A damage total is not printed here.
Should I book a Meads Bay resort because a list says Black owned?
Only after you see whether the list means an Anguillian owner or a manager from somewhere else. This guide keeps those apart.
Which stay would you book first?
Paradise Cove, after the Hughes family confirms the dates and answers the eco questions. Great House and Lloyd’s are the other family letters I would write.
