Teresa,

It's been a couple of years now since we did a stay-over on AXA but I believe the departure fee is $25.00 per person. We brought 'stuff' over with us, although not alcohol and I don't recall anyone checking our luggage or our carry-ons, so I'm thinking it's not a big deal.

Over the years, we liked Zara's on Shoal Bay but I'm thinking it's probably closed these days based on the lackadaisical attitude of the chef. It was a great place in its day and if still there, I'd try it. Quiet and off the beaten track. Not to worry about eating spots, though, since ALL the places on AXA are pretty darned good. We enjoyed the diningroom at Serenity Guest House, too, and it's one that is rarely mentioned here. These are definitely not island hot spots, though. If it was me, I'd ask either your cab driver or perhaps on the ferry, assuming you're going over from SXM.

Have fun - Anguilla is a little piece of heaven on earth, IMHO. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
