We had the best day of our trip sailing with Steve on Aristocat. We took the trip to Jost Van Dyke, which includes enough time to swim ashore to the Soggy Dollar for infamous PainKillers. My husband and I left the group and on the advice of the captain also tried Gertrudes right next door to the Soggy Dollar - we think Gertrudes ROCKS! Great snorkling, wonderful crew. Truly worth every penny.

Pusser's is known for their rum and "Painkillers". These truly are great and there are two restaurants; one in Road Town and the other in Soper's Hole near the marina. We ate at the one in Road Town and all enjoyed our food except for the couple who ordered their "famous" mac and cheese. I mean how does one mess up mac and cheese? Well Pusser's has figured out a way. Order anything else and I'm sure you will be pleased - just stay away from their Mac & Cheese.

This is supposed to be one of the BEST restaurants on the Island. Don't know if we just happened to be here on an "off" night. The food was Okay, just Okay; not the "wow" we were expecting. We will stick to lunch on the beach at their cafe just across the street next time.

In a great location, walking distance to beach, restaurants and bars so long as you don't mind climbing some very steep hills but then again the steep hills are part of the charm of Tortola! The upper level of the villa is the best, loved the decor and tile work in all of the bathrooms. It was difficult to decide whether to just stay in the pool and look at the bay and beach directly below or to actually tear ourselves away from the villa and go to the beach. Very convenient drive to the West End via Zion Hill and also quick drive to Road Town. Mornings on the deck were great for goat watching and listening to all of the roosters and least we forget the evening activity of watching the sailboats moor in the bay while listening to the bo-peep frogs.

This is a great villa above Cane Garden Bay.Visited: October 2008
Posted by bnsilly
My husband and I stayed here with seven friends. This was our second visit to Tortola, and our first time staying at Cielo.
The only thing that concerned me about this villa prior to arrival, was the possible limited view due to the trees. Upon arriving, that concern was quickly put to rest. The view was very very good! We had great view of Cane Garden Bay, Long Bay, etc. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets, as well.
We arrived at the villa, and Allison was there to meet us and give us an orientation. There was rum punch waiting...what a nice touch!
The pool was a little smaller than we expected. However, it was still plenty big enough for us to have a fun pool party one evening.
The five bedrooms were all good, and separate enough for all to have privacy. We stayed in room #5. It was the only one with no AC, and this concerned me at first. However, there were nice breezes, and it was never a problem. We even covered up at night when sleeping, because I was "chilly". It was perfect, really.
The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and other items. Some items were limited like trash bags, paper towels, no dish soap, etc. so we had to buy those things. We didn't have to do that at the previous villa we had stayed in. However, those were minor things, and we will know for next time.
If you have children, there are several windows with no screens, so that would be a big safety issue. I would not have any reservations with staying at Cielo in the future. It was a great villa.

We had a fantastic week in Tortola.Visited: October 2008

We had an absolutely wonderful week at the Captain's House.
The location and views were perfect. The house had everything we needed.
I would recommend this house to anyone who wants a private setting with breathtaking views. It's also just minutes from two great beaches (Long Bay and Smuggler's Cove).

A Tortola, BVI travel review
I don't recommend Dell's Car Rental.
Posted by sterlingiv
They do not maintain their vehicles. The one I rented broke down shortly after renting it. They gave me a hard time returning it, and charged my card for the rental anyway.
Also, their staff was rude and abusive to me. They even berated my wife with comments. I highly recommend staying as far away from them as possible.

Sunny Side Up Villa, Tortola is the best.Visited: August 2008
Posted by damp;amp;greaves
What a fabulous villa! It has beautiful furnishings, an awesome view, privacy, and everything was immaculate!
The kitchen and grill afforded us an opportunity to cook fun and delicious meals with local foods. We were met at the airport by JC, the manager of several of these villas. That was the best in customer service to help us get going!

Casa De Miel Villa s a wonderful experience.Visited: August 2008
Posted by sweetbay
The interior is very nicely furnished, and the view of Cane Garden Bay, Jose Van Dyke and St. Thomas on a clear day can't be beat.
The owner, Ron Cline, and his employees go over and above what we expected to make us feel at home. The second night, they prepared a dinner for us that was the best dinner we had while on Tortola.

My wife and I hosted our wedding reception at The Sugar Mill in 2005, so it will always be a special place for us. We recently stayed here again with two other couples after a bareboat charter. My wife and I, and our guests, could not have been happier.
Everything about the Sugar Mill Hotel is special, and nothing will disappoint. The setting, on Apple Bay on Tortola's northwest shore, is idyllic and one of the most quiet areas on the island. The view across to Jost Van Dyke is fantastic, and Apple Bay boasts one of the best surf breaks in the BVI, adding great sound to the scenery.
The hotel and Mill house blend perfectly into the hillside, and the rooms (the pool rooms are spectacular) are well-appointed without being stuffy.
The staff is attentive and very accommodating. It was impressive to see that several of the staff remembered us from our wedding. Such attention is a tribute to Liz Humphrey, the hotel administrator, who also took the time to personally welcome us back.
If you are looking for a lot of activity, this is not the place. If you want to unplug and relax, The Sugar Mill can’t be beat.
We already look forward to our next stay at The Sugar Mill.

We had a wonderful stay at the Sugar Mill Hotel.Visited: June 2008
Posted by cmurrell
My husband and I stayed at the Sugar Mill Hotel for three nights in June. We stayed in the upper level Plantation Suite.
The staff was helpful and friendly. The grounds were beautiful, and there was a nice beach across the street. I thought the landscaping was lovely - with lots of pretty flowers and lush trees.
Our room was very accommodating and clean. It was a large open room with a separate area that included a couch and chairs, and a large bed on the back wall.
The bathroom was nice and big, with a large shower and two sinks. It also had a little kitchen area with microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker. My favorite thing was the balcony with a hammock and a beautiful view of Jost Van Dyke and Apple Bay.
The dinners at the restaurant were nothing short of fantastic. From the delicious appetizers all the way through the wonderful entrees and finally the fresh desserts, it was some of the best food I've ever tasted.
We have been to many different places in the Caribbean, and the Sugar Mill was by far our favorite. We will be returning as soon as possible!

Maria's has friendly staff and is a quiet accommodation.Visited: September 2007
Posted by sugarcityman
I stayed at Maria's By The Sea Hotel September 2007, when I visited the island to witness the Miss Caribbean World Pageant. I found the staff at the front desk to be extremly helpful and friendly, and I was even given a room I did not pay for.
I can and would recommend anyone going to Tortola to stay at Maria's, because it is easy to get around from the hotel, and the staff is always willing to give information and to answer questions.
I met the owner. She was a very nice person. Also, I met two of the daughters who work at the hotel, and they were really nice ladies.
I would say stay at Maria's, but make your own judgement, because everyone sees things differently.
Keep up the good work and continue to make your guests happy and comfortable.

We had a wonderful vacation here.Visited: May 2008
Posted by daveholt
Alphonso and Pat are the perfect hosts, and give every effort to making your stay enjoyable and easy! You'll be as sorry to leave them behind as you are the BVI.
The accommodations are comfortable and large - but cozy. Every small touch or extra has been thought of, especially tons of beach towels - which is so useful with the beautiful beaches nearby.
Be sure to see Long Bay's beach!

This was our third stay at the Magic Castle Villa at Little Bay. We loved this place, and dream about it in the "off" season.
It is a truly spiritual place: gorgeous views, great amenities, privacy, and total relaxation. It is off the beaten path, which makes it even more attractive.
Eva is a most gracious host, and we are so thankful to have found her and her beautiful home. If you're looking for a special spot - this place is it!

We have visited Tortola for eight years now, and often stay at a hotel before we check into our rental villa. We have stayed at numerous places around the island, and this year we stayed at Heritage Inn.
What a treat. It was a great place. Chris and her staff were friendly and attentive, yet not intrusive. Our room was clean, neat, and comfortable. Also, the view was one of the best in the islands.
If you are looking for a day or two, or a week or two - you won't be disappointed here. Enjoy this beautiful spot!

We enjoyed the Sugar Mill Restaurant and Inn.Visited: May 2008
Posted by dbahn
My wife and I spent two days at the Sugar Mill preceding a Bareboat charter. We loved it - both the restaurant and the inn.
We reserved the cottage along with another couple who had to cancel their trip at the last minute. So, we ended up with a huge suite-like arrangement to ourselves, which was extra nice.
We dined at the hotel both nights, and thoroughly enjoyed both meals. I doubt that there is a better restaurant on Tortola. And, in speaking with others on the sailing part of our trip, that seems to be the consensus of opinion among residents and tourists.
We wouldn't hesitate for a second to go back - and probably will.

If you prefer laid-back surroundings, great service, and feeling like you are part of the family, the Tamarind Club in Josiah's Bay is the place.
My wife and I have stayed at the Tamarind Club four times, and it gets better every time. It is the perfect place to stay for your first and last night if you are chartering in the BVI. It is also great for those who want a very private, yet casual place to escape for an extended period.
Although it is not on the water, the level of service (and bartending) more than makes up for it.
Finally, if you like to go where the locals go when they have the time off, Tamarind is the place. Their Sunday brunch is the best on Tortola, and you can gorge yourself in your bikini or surf trunks without feeling out-of-place.
