A seasoned mixologist, Taffy Hodge-Roland started her journey in the hospitality industry right after high school. Malliouhana’s celebrated bar manager participated in the 2023 international mixology challenge, Cointreau Liqueurs Competition in France, placing 3rd out of 450 contestants.

Taffy has also been selected by the Anguilla Hotel and Tourism Association to represent Anguilla in annual culinary competitions and was named Bartender of the Year 2011, winning over a primarily male set of competitors, which served as a great feat and satisfying win for her. Her style, balance, taste, and incredible passion combined with her signature use of the freshest ingredients resulted in a silver medal.

Throughout the years, she has shared her talents and expertise with guests at esteemed resorts and restaurants like Cap Juluca, Savi Beach Club and Tipsy Turtle. Taffy is thrilled to be in her role at Malliouhana – known as the “Grand Dame of Anguilla” – where she has taken the resorts’ mixology offerings to new heights.
