Guest Reviews

• JOSE (10/5): - It was great.
• Jon (10/5): Excellent Water Sports and water activities - This is the place to go to enjoy the warm waters's of the Caribbean and learn how to sail, windsurf, snorkel, paddle board, or just enjoy swimming. The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. You just need to ask and they are willing to adjust to your needs. The only little drawl back was the mosquitoes at night which they are not really able to do much about because dinner in in an open air restaurant on the beach. They provide mosquito repellent upon request which I would recommenced for the late July/August time frame. We did not have issues with mosquitoes in the winter months. This is probably due to the rainy season. The snorkel excursions are great fun and you can see turtles, rays, nursing sharks and many many colorful fish. Staff is very helpful for first time snorkelers. For the all inclusive package food, water sports equipment, and excursions are included. Motor boats are not part of the package and require a separate fee.
• Jorge (10/5): perfect spot - it was amazing; the spot the beaches, the staff, the wifi and the activities are out of this world.
• gil (8/5): Beautiful facility. The beaches can be better. - The place is beautiful and the staf is friendly but the bar drinks are really water down .I fell like this was a all inclusive cheap place but is not.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful Views!!! - Beautiful location and great staff. The views amazing!!! Lots of water sports to embrace and a great quiet get away. Let's you revitalize yourself while providing engagement in water activities. Snorkeling, sailboating, and surrounding beauty. Highly recommend.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing hidden gem. - This is an amazing property- was thrilled to be able to enjoy for a few days. Service is super, rooms are very rustic- your own hut. The food and drinks were great. Lots of things to do in the area- the Baths, snorkeling, sailing, kite surfing.
• Bryan (10/5): Very cool artistic rooms with great views - Love the resort, make sure you get the water sport package
• B1948 (10/5): Excellent resort. Exceeded my expectations. - There are too many positives to mention. Only negatives - the facilities are quite spread out and food quality can vary considerably. The pool and pub are a long walking distance from the rooms - not a problem if you overindulge in food and beverage. We found that sometimes the dinners are exceptionally good and sometimes not so much. This was particularly true of the meat but the fish was always outstanding.
• Maria (10/5): Worth every single penny, Amazing hotel!! SUPERB - Most Amazing Hotel we ever stayed, is a bit pricey but is worth every single penny. Staff was incredible, from the front desk to restaurant, to young people who assist with all the included water sports. This hotel is the most incredible place we ever stayed, the rooms were amazing, the view from the room was incredible, the activities included were a huge plus, we always had something to do, they took care of every single detail in our stay. I couldnt have asked for anything else, this hotel exceeded all of our expectation and more. I would say again, this place is worth every single penny, you will not be disappointed. I went with my 2 daughters and this was the highlight of our island hoping adventure.
• Meeech (10/5): Great stay! - We moored a sailboat in the harbor and rented two rooms at the hotel. The staff were especially friendly and helpful and the grounds beautiful. Our room was clean and had the best view of any hotel I have ever stayed. Overall a great experience.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Paradiesisches Resort
• Verified traveler (10/5): A Paradise!! - Beautiful hotel, and a beautiful experience. Great!
• Maria (10/5): Paradise - Great customer care, really nice staff, breathtaking views. Paddleboard yoga was GREAT!!!
• Kjetil (10/5): Magnificent - Just a terrific place!
• Warren (8/5): Rustic beach water sports resort - Very relaxing, great water views with constant wind keeping temps very comfortable even in the first week of June. Great assortment of sailboats, kiteboarding, snorkel and diving trips available. Special dinners and individual sailing or fishing trips can be arranged. Staff is very friendly. Great place to disconnect if you want.
• Kent (10/5): Wonderful property that always delivers - This is a wonderful property that provides both a multitude of activities for those looking to keep busy and play but also provides areas to relax and unwind. The strengths of the property include: - Well appointed and clean rooms that provide great views. Deck chairs and hammock are great opportunities to relax and view the wonderful scenery. - Hotel staff and very nice and helpful. Our group needed assistance with flights, car rentals and boat transfers - the front desk team was very helpful each time. - Food at the restaurants was very good. Menus are somewhat limited, but offer several options for all types of diners. Breakfast buffet was good and provided many options. Wine list options at the Pub and Pool bar are very limited - management might consider making some other options available. - Activities - lots of fun and exciting things to do. The activity schedule is excellent and one could spend all day keeping busy (hiking, snorkeling, kite board, sailing, kayaking, swimming, birding, scuba, dancing, etc.). Besides these activities, ferries provide access to other small islands for exploring. - Attitude - casual, not stuffy - which is wonderful. - The property hosts many return visitors which says much about the overall service, quality, and guest enjoyment.
• Lauren (4/5): Save yourself the disappointment and stay at Saba - Save yourself the disappointment and stay at Saba Rock instead. I paid $600/ night for this so my expectations were high, as they should be at this price point. The hotel staff was the most unhelpful I have encountered probably anywhere. Any request was replied to with a NO and a bad attitude. I was unable to even get vegetables with my meals for the first 4 days. Finally on the 5th day vegetables appeared. They had them all along but the waitresses couldn't be bothered to accommodate a guests request. I poured my own water at meals. Upon arrival I requested some bottled water in the room and it took a 20 minute argument to actually get them to agree to provide it. I also asked for extra toilet paper and for that I was also told no and it never appeared. The ferry was an hour late picking me up so I arrived as the dinner time was endings, so after an entire day traveling was unable to get dinner on arrival (or bottled water as described above). It's a beautiful location but they need to do a lot of work to bring this up to an acceptable level of service for their price point. The property needs updating as well. I went over to Saba Rock the last night and could not have been more pleased. Excellent menu and wine list, and exceptional service. Stay at Saba Rock instead, its half the price and triple the service. Oh, there was no water pressure in the shower either so it was pretty difficult to wash my hair.
• Kirby (8/5): Bitter End = Perfect Honeymoon - Wonderful honeymoon. Bitter End is the perfect remote escape. The all inclusive package is incredible considering you can spend up to $150 nightly on dinner and all of our "water activities" were included providing endless fun with the sun without creating a huge entertainment bill.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect place for a romantic get away - This is a perfect place for a romantic get away, especially if you like to sail. It is a beautiful location and everything was wonderful.
• John (10/5): Our 5th BEYC Stay - Beautiful, Sailing, Boating - This was one of our best vacations in memory. We sailed our brains out. We motored to deserted beaches, we drank lots of rum and wine, we swam and floated around in the ocean water, enjoyed the beaches and pool, ate great food, enjoyed the 'to die for' scenery, and were very well served by the staff. At 40 years old, BEYC is a mature venue, but we don't go there to sit in the room and admire the furnishings. It's clean, plenty roomy, and totally functional. The well-maintained rooms have seen upgrades or improvements many times, and they are not far off the quality of other rooms that we booked at other BVI resorts on previous trips. Not every room is air conditioned, so make sure you are booking the room that you want. We prefer the A/C during the summer months to lower the humidity in the room, but the constant ocean breezes may be all you need, especially in the winter. BEYC has made some improvements over the years; they now have digital safes in the rooms so we didn't have to use the safe deposit boxes at the registration desk, and they added a seaplane dock that is mostly used in the winter. You get hardwood floors at BEYC, no Italian marble, no crystal chandeliers. Our previous four experiences at BEYC were also excellent, so BEYC has a pretty good track record from our viewpoint.
• Verified traveler (10/5): great honeymoon - Stayed there on our honeymoon. Beautiful setting, wonderful and helpful staff, great activities. On-site spa had unfortunately closed and would be more convenient if open, and room service would be nice option, but otherwise amazing! We'll go back!
• Tere (10/5): A Tropical Paradise - Everything was great... We will be back with our kids.
• Katherine (10/5): Honeymooners - We stayed here for our honeymoon in early May and it was beyond perfect. Room: the wood 'huts' are so neat- we stayed in one of the highest ones which had amazing views. We loved the open air aspect and feeling the trade winds blowing in at night. Our shower overlooked the balcony and north sound, so cool. Very clean, mini fridge is great, and the mini bottle of Mount Gay Rum left in there for us was also very nice. The restaurants: Amazing fresh food at every restaurant and every meal. We could not have been more impressed or happier with the changing menu nightly at the clubhouse, with Anegada lobster being kept on every night which was so good! The key lime pie for dessert was the best! The bars: great drinks, great views, great staff. Bartenders were so friendly, we loved Aline. Reasonable prices. Excursions: the best part, we enjoyed snorkeling, sunset cruises, trip to Anegada, the Baths, best of the BVI's and more. Kinto and Jaye were so great to us, along with everyone else. Watersports: we loved using the paddleboards, windsurfing, and taking out the boston whalers. All the staff was so helpful and friendly and made it very easy to get out on the water. Overall, this is the best honeymoon we could have imaginged. The staff did so much to make us comfortable, put us in a room with amazing views, were so friendly, helpful, and made a point to know our names and always say hi and ask how we were. BEYC is seriously an amazing place to vacation!
• Don (10/5): There are many options for fun. - I like to fish and usually go to a lodge with far fewer amenities; The Bitter End is one of the few top resorts where one can fish the flats for bone fish and other species and finish the day with an elegant dinner. The other water activities were also very accessable as well and the staff very accomodating. We had a meal plan and at first I concerned because it did'nt look as extravagent as a different high end resort we have stayed at numerous times. I was pleasantly surprised howerever, that the quality and ingredients and preparation was excellent every meal. The ambience is not totally themed but rather eclectic. It is a mix of traditional seaport with a carribean flare. The other guests seemed friendly and not at all uptight which you can sometime run into when people are trying to unwind . There were some children who all seemed very well behaved.
• Diane (2/5): WOKE UP WITH A LARGE DEAD RAT NEXT TO MY BED!!!!!! - Paid over $1,500 for 2 nights. Was supposed to have a beautiful ocean view as shown in the pictures. Ended up with just opposite. The view was completely obstructed with trees. Tried to straighten this out with the front desk, who was VERY, VERY RUDE and could care less, and then just decided just to remain where we were as we had been waiting from 11 a.m. until 4:30 for the room to be ready and had wasted half the day! Also told upon checking in there was a stomach virus spreading throughout the resort and to wash our hands frequently. Not a great way to start out a vacation! Fortunately we did not get it, but definitely made us nervous the whole time. To top things off, the second night I AWOKE TO FIND A LARGE DEAD RAT NEXT TO MY BED!!!! Travel frequently and have never encountered anything like that ever! Was given a $200 credit by the hotel, which I definitely feel was not enough! Never even an apology for the rat, just and ewwww! Obviously, THIS HOTEL TURNED OUT TO BE A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!!! It's unfortunate because I was really looking forward to staying here and it is a very pretty location. I think the hotel might want to look into whether a rat infestation may be causing people to get sick there!
• Lisa (10/5): Bitter End Yacht Club - Great place for a respite from the real world. Isolated. Lots to do. Virgin Gorda is beautiful. I've been throughout the Virgin Islands and this was my favorite spot.
• R&J (4/5): Disappointed. - No TV or wi fi in room. No locks on doors or patio doors, no safes except in main house quite a distance from room. Lights dim on walkways (they give you little flashlights), room was old, needed power washing, full of noseum bugs which management said they would get rid of, but never did, the netting was missing in the shower so lots of mosquitos, rooms in need of updating for prices charged. The food was good but menu did not change for the 6 days we were there. When I complained about not knowing about no tv or wi fi I was told that they do not say they have TV! The hotel is remote and only way to access anything is to take a ferry to main location. The trip going there was 13 hours and a ferry ride on very rough seas, with 8 foot swells and pounding every mile of the way. The trip home was good, and ferry rides were pleasant. Just not knowing any of this was disappointing. Did not know that different packages included watersports, so we wound up paying high prices as watersports were not included in package. Very costly vacation..
• Connie (10/5): Best place to stay in the BVI - had a great time on our second visit. Hadn't changed in 10 years. Rustic setting with a beautiful view. Plenty to do, a lot of water activities.
• joshua (10/5): Greatest hotel - It's honestly the best hotel I've ever stayed at. Beautiful scenery, adorable hotel, rustic room, great food and amazing water activity options .
• Greg (4/5): Don't eat there! - They had a stomach bug going through the resort. they told us it was minor and we both got sick along with a high percentage of their guests. I would give them an F for not preventing this from spreading to their guests.
• Verified traveler (10/5): The best place for watersports - We love coming here as a family. So much to do, there is something for everyone. You can just relax on the beach, or go sailing, snorkeling, SUP boarding.
• Carmela (8/5): Perrfect beach and sailing gateaway - WE stay almost for 1 week and take advantages of all the activities and boat trips it has to offer
• Verified traveler (10/5): Awesome Vacation! - Absolutely loved everything about the Bitter End. The accomodations, staff, food and activities were all tremendous. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and I would highly recommend The Bitter End to anyone. We will definely return. Everything was top notch.
• Monica (8/5): Beautiful resort, but rooms need updating. - The surroundings of BEYC cannot be beat. If boating/sailing is your thing, then this is your place. However, if expecting a luxury room for a luxury price, BEYC may not be the place for you. The cottages are in need of updating, and if it weren't for the fact that food and the fleet of boats are inclusive in the American Plan pricing, I would not return. For the most part, the staff was very gracious and accommodating, give or take one or two individuals.
• None name given (10/5): A sailor/boater's dream vacation - This resort has the most fantastic location imaginable for a sailor/boater. Reliable wind for sailing, and yet smooth waters because of the numerous reefs and islands. To enhance that, this resort allows those staying on the all-inclusive plan access to a large variety of sailboats from windsurfers to Lasers to Hobies to 22 foot Hunter sailboats, plus free access to small motor craft too for enjoying the area. Kiteboarders are also welcome, although March and April might not offer the wind reliability that a kiteboarder would want. The food was also great.
• Mark (10/5): Bring friends and family. - We felt welcome from the moment we met the driver at the airport. Upon arrival at the hotel the staff made sure we feel at ease. They familiarized us with everything to make sure we were comfortable. The food was very good and plentiful. Service was great. The surroundings are unbelievable. Atmosphere is great.
• Verified traveler (8/5): "Had a great time" - I stayed with my wife for four days in one of the Premium Beach Front Villas. I can't complain, the villa was very beautiful, clean and very comfortable. Location was awsome and very romantic. We had a great time!! I will definitely go back and next time will be bringing the kids, the resort has an awsome watersports program and a good kids program as well.
• Verified traveler (10/5): A piece of paradise - Something for everyone. The Bitter End Yacht Club was paradise.
• Sra. Ruiz (6/5): - La marina es una de mis favoritas, bien localizada, buen ambiente, el mantenimiento es bueno, el personal atento y los alrededores bonitos, ademas las pizzas en el restaurante son deliciosas. En cuanto al hotel, la vista desde las habitaciones es todo un espectaculo, sin embargo los baños parecen ser de los 80's, había insectos en la ducha y polvo en el resto de la habitación por lo que pienso que esta un poco costoso dado las condiciones... Pese a esto el lugar en general es nice.
• RedPlanet (8/5): felt very safe and comfortable, would recommend this place to friends and family - I had 5 days stay at the hotel. There is no locks on the doors of the cabanas, i had all my things in the room and was gone for most of the day. Nothing was touched. It was amazingly peaceful and tranquil. Staff was wonderful, everyone made you feel at home. I would definetely stay there agan
• Tyler (10/5): BEYC Is The Obvious Choice For Sailors - My wife and I decided to stay at BEYC this year instead of chartering a sailboat. The resort is the place to stay if you have interest in all things related to sailing. That is the concept the place was built around and it does not disappoint. The accommodations (we stayed in a beachfront villa) are unique and have just the right amount of luxury feel without being over the top for the surroundings (it is the BVI after all!) Rooms were always kept very clean. The restaurants provide a good selection, mostly in the form of buffets but there is always an option to order from the menu. Skip the all inclusive plan to allow for flexibility to dine over at Saba Rock, the Fat Virgin Cafe, and Biras Creek. The latter provides a gourmet meal to rival top mainland restaurants, with a matching price tag. The grounds at BEYC are one of the best features (we thought better than Biras). It takes probably 15-20 minutes to walk the entire length of the water front. Beaches are small, but are broken up by palms and mangroves to the point where it is easy to get a very private piece of sand. Walking along the wooden walkways that connect the rooms at night is a relaxing experience. Room for improvement: Some aspects of the resort are still being rebuilt from the hurricane in 2010 (but is now mostly complete), service in the restaurants is more Caribbean style as opposed to neighboring Biras Creek which has service as attentive as mainland restaurants.
• North sailor (8/5): Best New Years ever! - We have visited The Bitter End previously by boat and now have had the privilege of enjoying the property over New Years and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The food was plentiful and delicious. The water activities were a blast and the staff was friendly and always willing to assist in any way to make sure our stay was first class. The only somewhat negative comment is that the rooms are just ok -- but since the view is breathtaking, the basic rooms suffice. We are in for next year!
• HollyJ (10/5): Bitter End Yacht Club - This hotel was wonderful! It's so peaceful, and the service was amazing!
