Frequently Asked Questions about Caribbean & Anguilla Vacations
While there is nothing complicated or demanding about Anguilla travel, these facts and figures will simplify your itinerary planning and Caribbean vacation at Viceroy Anguilla.
What currency should I bring?
The US Dollar is the most easily exchanged foreign currency and is also the most favored. All resorts and most all restaurants and shops charge in either US Dollars or Eastern Caribbean Currency (ECC). The ECC has been fixed at 2.67 per US Dollar since 1972. Credit cards and ATM cards are used here in Anguilla just like at home.
What will the weather be like during my Caribbean vacation?
The temperature does not vary much from season to season and the island has a yearly mean temperature of 80°F, however, the evenings can cool off by about 5°.
What should I pack?
Pack for an elegant Caribbean vacation in a warm-weather coastal resort town: one or two bathing suits; shorts and golf shirts; men and women should have at least one casually elegant summer outfit—for example, men will want to have a nice pair of pants and some closed-toe shoes for evening dining. Make sure to bring a sun hat; an extra pair of sunglasses; beach shoes, flip-flops or sandals; and sun block. Lastly, a sweater or wrap may be needed for the cool evenings or for air-conditioned areas. The Viceroy Anguilla boutique offers a selection of apparel, accessories, reading material, Caribbean travel guides, and sundry personal pleasures for new items or those left at home.
Are there any local customs I should know about?
Anguillians drive on the left side of the road; please look both ways at intersections before proceeding. Most Viceroy Anguilla resort guests take taxis around the island, whether from the Blowing Point Ferry Terminal, Wallblake Airport or from the resort for lunch or dinner.
Anguillians always greet each other with "good morning," "good afternoon" or "good evening/night" before starting conversations. This politeness slows things down a bit, making for a more enjoyable conversation and a relaxing Caribbean vacation.
