This hotel is great for someone wanting to stay VERY close to the water. The road traffic at this location is relatively light and the area is quieter than most on Tortola. However, our room (#6) was right next to the restaurant/bar and was a beachside room. The waves were crashing right outside our balcony door and on Thursday and Saturday nights the bar had a bingo/karaoke event that we "experienced" quite fully from inside our room. Anyone with small children will want a room away from the bar. Overall, we were quite satisfied.

The photos of your facility were taken years ago. You have restored the hotel, but you are no longer "on the beach", you are on the "small boulders that have replaced the sand" and the boulders come right up to the restaurant retaining walls. Its about 20 feet from the wall to the water. There are no tables on the beach because there is only boulders to the water. Not at all easy to get to the water in front of the hotel. You have to walk (quite far) or drive to a sandy beach. The roads are very narrow and in very bad shape. The economy rooms are very small with very poor A/C with no views and way in the back of the facility. Sea view rooms cost much more. My advice is to visit Tortola is to pick an upscale hotel with a good restaurant and sandy beach and stay there. (West end, north shore area) Renting a car is very expensive when including insurance (recommended) and you are liable for dented wheels(many potholes) and cleaning/removing sand. Driving around the island is a mistake as there are minimal road signs and other than finding a sandy beach, not much to see. We spent our time at Long Bay Beach(walk-able)and Cane Garden Bay Beach(better to drive or taxi). Both excellent sandy beaches. Restaurants in these areas have good food but expensive, not many/any opportunities to reduce food costs. We chartered sailboats many times in the BVI and had excellent vacations, this was the first hotel only/no boat stay (too old) and nowhere as good as being on the water.

The property had a nice, casual on site restaurant and was very convenient to two other higher end restaurants. Staff was helpful and friendly. Garden rooms were quite small but had a comfortable bed and the necessary amenities. Good value for the price.

Can’t beat the location, the staff was so friendly. We did have a few mishaps, maid service went in despite our do not disturb and stripped our room but never replaced the sheets/towels, staff was happy to fix. We dealt with the a/c going absolutely haywire the last night scaring us and spraying me with ice resulting in no ac or fan the rest of the night.

Although Expedia indicated that the hotel was 10miles from the airport it was a 45 minute drive so it is not a hotel if you are taking a connecting flight.

We were a group of 6 with 3 different rooms booked - all of us had entirely different but equally disappointing experiences. I personally booked a Standard Room with a Queen Bed and Garden View for 7 days. The booking photos showed a bright, spacious, and tropical-inspired room with beautiful furnishings (see photos as per my booking confirmation). However, upon arrival, the room bore absolutely no resemblance to the photos advertised. It was so tiny and poorly designed that two people could barely move without bumping into each other. The space felt claustrophobic, outdated, and completely lacking the vibrant and inviting charm portrayed in the photos. The furniture was shabby, the decor was uninspired and tired, the room smelled like a moldy, stuffy cottage, and the overall atmosphere was old and depressing. While the bed and basic amenities like the refrigerator and coffee maker looked technically functional, they did nothing to compensate for the suffocatingly small size, the dreary ambiance, and the blatant misrepresentation of the room. Other things to note: There is no beach despite claims or suggestions to the contrary (see photos), a balcony suite may be a balcony or it may be a patio with zero privacy right next to the restaurant with guests a few feet away (as some of our friends found out), and the overall property is in desperate need of maintenance and attention.

I thought all the staff were very unpleasant. Following our stay I requested a bill and they just didn't even bother responding to two of my emails. It was their general vibe, just totally unbothered that we were there and almost like we were a nuisance to them. Wouldn't come back just because of their attitude.

This is a clean professionally operated hotel with a very pleasant staff. If you want to get in some surfing this is the place to go on the island if you'd like to play bingo this is also the place to be - it ends at 10 pm, so you can still get to sleep at a reasonable time. Food's pretty good! I should also mention that there are some pretty nice beaches here for mooching around on so if you got a day to kill you wanna get in a little bit of swimming and you don't mind a little current....Keep in mind that to get here from the airport or town you need to go over the mountain. The condition of the road that passes over the mountain is usually pretty miserable and I am talking about sections disappearing into the mist due to landslides. If you're comfortable driving on the island already we can probably make it but do not try to make time doing so. I don't recommend this place is a layover if you're waiting for a flight to get off the island cause you're just too far away.
