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 |

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. |

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! |

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! |

| Best place to stay on Tortola Visited: August 2009 |

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. |

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! |

This place truly made the vacation. We were there for 7 nights (8 days) and the owners are very hospitable and extremely helpful with suggestions on where to go and what to do. The rooms were all very large, comfortable and clean, and the kitchen/living room/dining area accommodated all 9 of us easily. It was a very enjoyable stay, I would absolutely love to go back! |

We had the opportunity to spend a week at Summer Heights. We could not have chosen a better place. The villa is warm and inviting, and Barry and Roz are great hosts. The villa is located up on a hill with unobstructed views of the ocean and surrounding islands. The pictures really don't do the place justice. The views were simply breathtaking. The house is quiet and the only thing you hear is the gentle ocean. It is also a short drive away from some of the best beaches in Tortola and the town center. Each of the bedrooms also had an incredible view. The rooms also had nice comfortable beds, clean linens, and their own private bathrooms. This made it really easy for our party of 9. This house is very, very clean. I'm quite particular about cleanliness and it met my expectations. There is a big kitchen with everything necessary to cook a nice meal and a great table outside to enjoy it on. The pool was great to relax in after a day of running around. We felt completely at home. Both Barry and Roz were very helpful. They went out of their way to make sure that we had a enjoyable stay. Roz even called to check on our car rental and to ensure that we had reserved a suitable car. We would really recommend Summer Heights to anyone visiting BVI and hope to visit again soon. |

After an adventurous ride up the mountain, we fell in love with the place as soon as we opened the front gate. It was so big, luxurious, clean, and the view is so incredible - you have a panoramic view of the opposing island line with perfectly blue water. The house has everything too, from board games, novels, videos/dvds to float/beach balls for the pool. There are new things to discover in every cabinet, drawer, and shelf. We spent quite a few evenings enjoying our home cooked dinners, chatting on the patio tables, then retreating indoors for a movie. And the plush king beds are just perfect for luring us to sleep after a full day at the beach. |

The pictures don't do this villa justice. Everything was perfect from the great breezes to playing 9 ball at 3 in the morning. The views are out of this world. The kitchen was perfect and the grill works well(we brought our own meat). Lyn, who looks after the house was very nice and her dogs would stop by each day and say hello. The road up is no big deal as long as you have 4 wheel drive. I highly recommend this villa. |

We recently returned from a stay at the Castle Maria and a charter with Sunsail. The Castle Maria was a clean and well maintained hotel at which to stay. It was not an Americanized five-tar hotel, but it was a great "local style" hotel. Also, the staff was great! They were there to make our stay enjoyable and they did just that! |

We spent six nights during a recent visit to Tortola, and stayed at Hotel Castle Maria. I have never stayed at a hotel where every single person working at the hotel went out of their way to accommodate any requests we made - and always with a smile. They were extremely friendly people, and provided excellent information regarding the island and area. I would definitely stay here again on a future visit. |
