Prebooked 3 nights. Apon arrival told no restaurant. Get to our room by walking by many chickens running around unkept grounds. Walk up rusty staircase to find our room with no lights, lamps, rusty sink, toilet, tub. Switch rooms....use all beach towles packed to cover bed need sleep and no where else to go. People very rude and not helpful. Best thing, internet, next ferry to St. Thomas Bolongo Bay |

 It was a great time of year. Visited: November 2009 |

We came to Tortola in mid-November just before high season began and found it to be a great time to be in BVI. The crowds weren't quite as big and, outside a bit of rain, the weather was ideal. Our Villa sat up on a hillside with a great view of the sea and surrounding isles. We especially enjoyed trips to Smuggler's Cove, Jost, Frenchman's Cay/Jolly Roger's and fishing off the north shore of Virgin Gorda. I would definitely recommend BVI and Diamante to anyone looking for a relaxing place to go, but enough to do if you don't just want to sit on the beach all day. |

This was not the best place we've ever stayed. There was nothing but plastic beakers and three odd wine glasses. A martini just isn't a martini in a plastic mug. Also, there were rubber backed bath mats for bedside rugs. Also, I thought the hanging space in the master bedroom was inadequate since the owners use the walk in closet as an "owners closet". The views were to die for. We also enjoyed the lovely breezes. In addition, the tenant in the downstairs apartment was quite a surprise. Luckily, he was about to leave on vacation so he was only there one day. Virgin Gorda is a lovely place and we go there often. However, I doubt we'll rent this particular villa again. |

Although the food was wonderful, the accommodations are awful. There was no running water for three days. We finally had to bath in the pool. Management wouldn't change our rooms or give us any money back. |

We spent two weeks at the Captain's House and loved every minute of it. It is comfortable, clean, and the views are outstanding. We learned how to drive the roads on the first day (Jerry's Car rental was great), and loved being located at that end of Tortola. Never rent without a pool, it's definitely a must. I had to relearn how to use a charcoal BBQ, but that was fine too after day two. Having a working Internet connection was really helpful as well. We will definitely return to the Captain's House, and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great vacation! |

| Elm Villa is a fantastic find. |
|
| Posted by jhtradeway | |

We rented Elm Villa for a week this summer. We loved it and give it top marks all around. The full time housekeeper, Mariel, lives in a separate basement apartment and has a big impact to the overall experience. We had hours of extra free time because Mariel was looking after the household for us. As a result, you have more of a five-star hotel experience than a rental experience. The villa itself is beautiful. It is not your typical rental; over used and full of mismatched furniture. This is a vacation home of a wealthy family and it shows. It is tastefully decorated, and meticulously maintained. Perched on aptly named Windy Hill, high above Cane Garden Bay, the Villa offers spectacular views of both the Bay and Jost Van Dyke. The layout and furnishings give it the feel of a classic 19th century British Colonial outpost, perfectly attuned to its Caribbean location. With the house opened up, the high location affords a wonderful breeze that blows through the rooms keeping all cool within a simply wonderful indoor/outdoor living space overlooking some of the most spectacular scenery and tropical foliage you will find anyplace on earth. The pool deck and grounds are lovely, professionally landscaped and once again of five-star hotel quality; and child safe. There are also loads children's toys, books and videos available in the villa for use. If you have young children, this Villa is the one for you. If you don't, this is a fantastic house for adults, just the same. Elm Villa far exceeded our expectations and gets our very highest recommendation. |

The whole vacation was totally fabulous. The view from this villa is breath taking and you will return. The services provided were terrific. When we arrived we were met at the dock and taken up to the villa where it had been completely provisioned with groceries thru Bobby's market. The rental car was waiting for us at the office. All we had to do was walk in and open a beer. The villa is very well equipped and competely furnished. It was only about a twenty minute drive to the Bath's and the ferry for our trip over to Tortola and Jost Van Dyke to spend the day at the Soggy Dollar Bar and Foxy's. If your looking for a great location with easy access to everything, you have found it. As a matter of fact, my wife and I booked our return trip only two months after leaving!!!! |

| Beef Island Guest House is nature's little secret. Visited: June 2009 |

As frequent visitors to the Beef Island Guest House, my husband and I want to respond to the review that was written two years ago stating that "the male host is awful" and the place "was a dump". Those issues have been rectified. The "awful host" no longer works for the Beef Island Guest House/Loose Mongoose, and the property was never "a dump". The business now hosts a gentleman whom has been in the hospitality business for 38 years. He takes great pride in his position. The staff is friendly; the food and drinks are yummy; and the rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very clean. They are located five minutes from the airport and the ferries servicing the outer islands. It is certainly a place where you can enjoy the peace and tranquility of the BVI. |

The beauty of the Canefield House cannot be captured by a photo. As soon as you walk down the steps, you are surrounded by wondrous vegetation, much of which bears fruit that can be picked on request. The palms open onto a gorgeous view of Brewer's Bay with the reef and distant islands visible in the sunlight. Inside you have an incredible common space with a wonderful open kitchen. The bedrooms are separated from the main house, which makes privacy an easy thing to get no matter how you travel. A stay here is highly recommended! |

Two adult friends, my 22-year-old son and I vacationed in the BVI and stayed at Summer Heights. We could not have had a better place to stay. The villa was outstanding and clean. The owners were friendly, too. Their recommendations were right on. They were able to not only get us power boat for the day, but a very knowledgeable young captain. I highly recommend Summer Heights. Good luck! |

The BananaKeet Cafe features great food and portions and super views. The folks are nice, too. We will most certainly be back, and next time we will stay at the Inn too! |

This was certainly the most relaxing and luxurious vacations I ever spent in a beach. The villas were amazing in design and good taste. Also, the location was like finding a hidden treasure in the Caribbean. |

| Best place to stay on Tortola Visited: August 2009 |
|
| Posted by galkath | |

The Frenchmans Villa resort is simply the best place to stay on Tortola. The accommodations are outstanding (we stayed in Mango - 2 bedroom wtih our two teenagers) and the quality and thoughtfulness of the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms were outstanding. Ashleigh and Michelle provided us with anything and everything we wanted (from reliable Taxi's to pick us up from our BVI charter or recommendations to restaurants/things to do...they were both outstanding and most importantly knowledgable about Tortola). The property is phenomenal and the views are tremendous. We snorkled around the point and used the pool/tennis courts quite a bit. The service and location of this resort is 5-star all the way. We have rented villas/houses from Colorado to the Outer Banks and this is the nicest place we have ever stayed at...the website photos are exactly what you will find in this secluded yet family friendly resort. If your looking for a romantic villa or a family get together this is perfect. The villas are laid out so nicely (you really cannot see the other villas) and are very secluded. |

We did not stay here as we were staying on our boat on a mooring. However, we did have a few experiences while we were visiting the property. The most memorable one was the unfriendly bartender. He was so concerned about his upcoming shift-change that he didn't want to take any drink orders (except for popping open beers). In addition, the most incredibly rude woman was working the reception desk. This woman should find some other job, immediately. |

Summer Heights is a beautiful residence. The rooms were all very clean with large comfortable king sized beds and an amazing view of the ocean. The pool is great and the outside dining area made for cozy BBQ dinners in the evening. We had a wonderful time! |

What a wonderful villa for families with young children. We have a two- and four-year-old, and this villa was just perfect - a very children friendly house. The views were amazing. We could see both the Atlantic and the Caribbean from the dining room. It was very private and peaceful - an almost Zen quality. We hope to go back next year! |
