 Viceroy Anguilla Opening Delayed 

I had booked a 8 night stay at Viceroy from July 3rd-11th and noticed on the website that it says now opening Aug 1st. Would have been nice if someone called me from the hotel to let me know since the trip is 2-3 weeks away. Anyhow they are saying they will put us up in either Cap or Cuisinart. Been to Cuisinart before, is Cap in the same league?

Shades of what is to come. Hmmmmm.

CJ is better IMO. (unless you are coming with family)

Viceroy delayed. Wow. I'm stunned.

P.S. Wherever they put you, it will be glorious -- enjoy!

This is a blessing. What is better? A half complete new resort on a good beach or a fully operational luxury resort on the best beaches? While CJ is probably better, either is an upgrade. You lucked out.

One more item. Are they really going to open in August as hurricane season arrives in earnest and the bulk of the island is shutting down? Expect another delay soon.

Cap says it's staying open this year and that some restaurants will follow suit -- we shall see. Restaurant & resort staff have that "September/October break" hard-wired into their systems at this point. Difficult to change, for some.

Since you've already done CuisinArt, then give youreselves another frame of reference and let the Viceroy folks put you up at Cap. It's really pretty, after all, "The Today Show" did a wedding there. This way you'll have a great perspective of luxury accommodations on the island.

My concern is for all of the workers they "enticed away" from their other jobs with promises of May, June, July, and now August(?) work. Are these would-be employees being compensated by Viceroy in good faith for having to wait?
