Describing Beach Enclave in a nutshell, Mr. Borges went on: “What we do is create villa resorts that combine the best of owning your private home with resort amenities. At Beach Enclave one can have all the guest services and amenities that they can expect at a five-star resort.”

The representation that we have here is indicative of the reality of working well together. And whether we think of the influence of the previous Government or this current Government, we consider that this project is like a relay; and we are all part of a winning team that will make Beach Enclave a reality here on our island.”
“I am proud of the quality that will come to Anguilla through Beach Enclave,” he said. “As Janine ran through the list of awards that Beach Enclave achieved in the TCI, I could see why Mr. Borges chose to establish such a resort here. Anguilla has achieved number one position in the Caribbean, Bahamas and Bermuda for five years, and we are a proud team who endeavours to improve on our successes. We are happy to have Mr. Borges and his associates for they bring to us quality that is depictive very much here in Anguilla. So, on behalf of our Premier, Cora Richardson-Hodge who is travelling, I say thanks to Beach Enclave.”
Minister of Economic Development Kyle Hodge, delivered comments as well: “I am extremely delighted to be taking part in this momentous occasion, the signing of an MOU between the Government of Anguilla and Beach Enclave, he said. “Some nine month ago, I first met Vasco and his team when they visited cabinet to introduce themselves and to present to us a general overview of this beautiful project…
“We have been quite busy since then, and I am pleased that we are able to reach a clear and mutual understanding, and I am happy that we were able to quickly overcome the challenges that we had in preparation for today.
