ANGUILLA, BWI – Cap Juluca’s Charles and Linda Hickox – the original and current owners of the idyllic Caribbean resort – welcomed top U.S. journalists to their exclusive Maundays Bay retreat from April 24 until their departure on April 27.
The resort owners and their hospitality team hosted a top-notch Anguilla experience to a group of travel writers who want to let their sophisticated and affluent readers know about such a special Caribbean hideaway. They included Blue Arauz, Key Biscayne Magazine, Brickell Magazine; Kim Atkinson, Forbes Travel Guide; Janet Thomas, Celebrated Living; and Rebecca Wallwork, freelance New York-based writer.
The press trip began with a welcome toast from Carlos Lopes, the owners’ representative, and Kevin Carty, the resort’s operations manager, at Cap Juluca’s Main House, and was followed by dinner on the beach. Champagne and mimosas and a tour of the resort’s new 3,290-square-foot Jonquil Suite was the finale of the romantic and fun-packed getaway. In-between, the guests enjoyed an itinerary of exhilarating water sports, lazing on the pristine beach and relaxing therapeutic spa treatments. A breathtaking Sunset Sail, a boat excursion on the Juluca Pride to Sandy Island for lunch, and dinner dining at casual nightlife Spice and at high-end Pimms were all part of the well-rounded and carefully planned experience.
Home away from home for the Hickox press guests were the newly refreshed whitewashed villas – all within 75 feet of the dazzling beach – complete with heavenly tropical breezes. It was abundantly clear to the visiting group why the 2013 Andrew Harper’s Hideaway Report named Cap Juluca #1 Beach Resort Worldwide and it was also designated 2013 #1 Hotel in Anguilla by U.S. News & World Report.
