In addition to all the amenities and activities of a full service resort, Bitter End is also home to a full service marina, with dockage, over 70 moorings, where repairs, provisions and supplies are readily and easily available.

We were not happy with our stay. 
Bitter End Yacht Club, Virgin Gorda, BVI hotel review Visited: March 2005

Sorry, but this place was a total disappointment. It was very expensive, and the food was just okay. The service was the worst.
If you're not into sailing, there is nothing to do here. It was a long walk to the pool. Also, there was no AC. However, the snorkeling was nice.
We are really not hard to please, but as expensive as this was, I suggest you go to Little Dix Bay. It was ten times nicer!

We returned to Bitter End for a second visit in two years and loved it even more this time.
They have a huge slate of activities to choose from, all well managed and scheduled. The surroundings are as close to paradise as you'll ever get, and you can be as active as you wish. If you want to lounge on the beach and read, no problem. If you want to snorkel in coral reefs in the morning and take a windsurfing lesson in the afternoon, that's available too.
The day trips to other islands for snorkeling and sightseeing are wonderful. The food they provide on the M/V Corinthian is great (fresh grilled fish or burgers, multiple salads and desserts, etc.). You get to snorkel in the best spots around and see fabulous vistas in the waters and isles of BVI. We thought the food this trip was even better than the last time.
The resort has increased the information they provide you at check-in. Now you get a complete calendar for the week showing all the activity choices and locations. There's so much to do and see, it really helps to plan out your week ahead of time.
Summertime definitely is the kids' season for Bitter End, as it is in many resorts. In my opinion, kids under about nine do not appreciate all they're seeing and doing. Nine and older, however, have an absolute ball ... they understand what a special place Bitter End and the BVI are.
And we're already planning our trip to Bitter End next year ... this time with our 12-year-old daughter.

A busy and active place with less than great attention to detail. 
Bitter End Yacht Club, Virgin Gorda, BVI hotel review Visited: June 2002

The Bitter End Yacht Club was remote and isolated with great sailing. We enjoyed tooling around North Sound in their Hobie Cats. Their Boston Whalers, though always available, tended to die on us out in the middle of the Sound and their unreliability made them an unappealing choice after the first couple times.
The food was fine, nothing special, but there was always plenty of it. We were on the Admiral's Package, so we tended to eat way too much!
The rooms at the north end of the property (beachfront villas) were truly fabulous and probably the best part of our stay. They were charming and had a spectacular view. They were not air conditioned, but the breezes made them bearable.
The pool was at the far end of the property and the long walk did get old, especially if you plan to spend much time at the pool. The beaches at the resort were nothing special, but you can take a boat anytime you want to Prickly Pear Island across the way, and the beaches there are lovely.
The staff was inconsistent. Some folks were great--we particularly loved the wait staff in the restaurant--but the watersports staff was often unorganized and the boats were in need of repair. The week we were here, they had an international windsufing competition. It was fun to watch, but us regular "guests" tended to feel in the way and many excursions were cancelled or modified.
The daily excursions to other islands and snorkeling trips were lots of fun and a real highlight for our family. Mostly, they could use a better children's program. They advertise as a "family resort", but our three kids under 12 found that there were limited things they could participate in without us.
All in all, we would recommend the Bitter End Yacht Club. It was a spectacular location and if you take the hike up Biras Hill, the views were amazing. The water was warm, clear and full of fish and turtles. The rooms were charming. We just felt they could have been a little more organized and cater to children better.

While at the Bitter End, we experienced sailing for the first time and loved it! The sailing staff was so informative and very patient. We really enjoyed the sport of sailing but especially the relaxation of it with friends who we met our second day staying there.
Regretfully, we lost their contact information but hope we will one day reunite with them at the Bitter End for our sails around the sound and sunset cocktails! Mary Ann and Ellen-send us an e-mail sometime! Can't wait to go back to the Bitter End soon!
