Pros: If you want to relax and unwind on vacation, you will not find better. Cons: None
ScubaMom has already written an extensive review of Guana Island and I see no reason to duplicate that excellent effort. However, my wife and I spent a week on Guana recently, and we had a wonderful time. It was really quite an exceptional vacation....
Pros: Freedom and sunshine Cons: Rain can screw up your vacation
One of the nicest ways to see the British Virgin Islands is from the deck of a sailboat. Sailing here is pleasant. The wind is usually good, and I haven't experienced choppy water. I have seen dolphin and giant turtles while sailing from island to...
Pros: Unspoiled beautiful peaceful islands of love. Cons: You may have to leave one day.
Review Topic: Overview
I moved to Tortola in the British Virgin Islands in 1978, and for the next 20 years was a permanent resident. Now that I have moved back to the States, I often feel a twinge of pain, deep in my soul,...
Pros: Excellent for snorkeling and scuba. Cons: Locals seem "envious" of tourists, 50% warm-n-fuzzy; 50% not so WNF.
I spent a week with my husband who was on business, trying out the local tourist scene on my own during the day. We stayed at the Prospect Reef Resort on Tortola, BVI. The resort has multiple buildings, some of the older buildings are located in a...

Pros: Beautiful, still "natural," tons to do Cons: none that I can think of
The British Virgin Islands are some of the most beautiful Islands in the world. They are a whole bunch of little islands and cays spread over a large area, which provides for some great Scuba diving/snorkeling, and other water activities. The Virgin...
Pros: Beautiful, excellent snorkeling Cons: non existant
My family and I are sailors born and raised. We own our own thirty seven foot Tartan sailboat in New England, so we decided to charter a boat in the Caribbean.
Since then, we have been there approximately 8 times, and every year it gets...
Pros: Beautiful beaches. Friendly people. Excellent food. Very safe. Wonderful villas. Cons: Are there any? Not too much night life. A little pricey - but worth it!
My husband and I rented a villa on Tortola for our Honeymoon in early May 2000. We couldn't have picked a more perfect spot. We stayed at Villa Laguna in Apple Bay on the North West end of the island (villalaguna.com or cvillas.com). It was beautiful...
Pros: Strong drinks, live music Cons: Mushrooms and mushroom tea are fake, expensive, commercialized
Our anticipation of the Bomba shack full moon party was that you could drink free psychodelic mushroom tea (which is legal to consume in the BVI), and trip through the night. What we found was quite different, I will detail our visit.
It started by...
Pros: GGGreat snorkeling, Unique island experiences Cons: I don't live there
I went in April a few years ago for a four day weekend and loved it. We rented a villa on a hill overlooking a beach on Tortola. Many say the BVI is the best place for snorkeling in the Caribbean. We saw all sorts of colorful tropical fish, coral, and a...
