When I asked to balance my trip to St. Martin with a few days in a quiet, secluded spot, my travel agent recommended Anguilla. This would save me from having to buy a $400 round-trip plane ticket to the Virgin Islands. (I had wanted to go to St. John.) Is Anguilla really tranquil and beautiful like St. John is?

Hey there, I'm contemplating relocating to AXA and have a few questions. If I work in The Valley, where is the nicest proximate place to live? How expensive would a 2 bedroom furnished apartment be in that area? Could you recommend a real estate agent who rents flats in the are you recommend? Outside of housing, the cost of living is an area of concern. How expensive are utilities: water, electricity, DSL, cable and telephone? How expensive is food/groceries? Is everything imported or is stuff like seafood sold at local markets? I also understand most Anguillans head to SXM to do their shopping. Is this true and recommended? What is the annual cost of a driver's licence? Is there a road tax/MOT requirement? Is there a market in used cars? If so can you recommend any? Is there a minimum wage? What in USD would one need to earn to be able to afford a 2 bed, petrol, utilities and food?
What are some more authentic and affordable restaurants in anguilla? I recall eating at a local place in town, but the name escapes me. Also, we managed to find a subway on that same road.
There was a chinese restaurant I imagine would be inexpensive, but very difficult to find.
I am planning on being in Anguilla in July for a week and have booked a room a the Frangipani Resort in one of their super deluxe rooms. Will this be a nice room and place? Or, should I have booked their 1 beroom villa or stayed at The Arawak Beach Inn instead? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I am planning to go to Anguilla this september and I noticed that most of the resorts are closed on that date. I was told that CuisinArt is open... However anybody knows another resort/hotel which is open...? and restaurants.... are closed or open? The reason is because of the storms...? Is it safe on going in sept.?
