Virgin Gorda

Pros: The Baths sport beautiful water, sand, beaches, and rounded boulders
Cons: Hiking in the hot weather can get to you

In March 2002, I flew from JFK airport in New York down to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and then finally on to Beef Island at Trellis Bay, Tortola. Puerto Rico provides one of the major connecting flights to get to the British Virgin Islands, while Beef ...

Pros: Virgin Gorda is not a place you visit once. You'll go "to come back".
Cons: The Baths can be crowded during the day. Plan to visit in the late afternoon.

Fly, ferry or swim to Virgin Gorda, one of the glittering crown jewels of the British Virgin Islands. Go any way you can get there, but get there. If there is one destination you don't want to miss, this is it.When my husband and I operated a ...

Pros: The Baths at Virgin Gorda ranks as one of our all-time favorite beaches.
Cons: None for us.

We started our trek to Virgin Gorda from Tortola, where we had arrived via cruiseship. There is no need to prearrange any excursions here. Taxis line up at the pier to take you anywhere you want to go. Several passengers hopped into taxis and got the ...

Pros: beautiful, sound of ocean in your room, great food
Cons: very remote if you need action; not geared for disabled; not meant for kids

Review Topic:  Overview

We went to Biras Creek on the island of Virgin Gorda for our Honeymoon December 8-16th 1999. We found it by doing a search for Relais & Chateau properties (we wanted our trip to be 5-star!) and were...

Pros: A quite, relaxing, low-key upscale resort where service is first and foremost.
Cons: You get what you pay for and it isn't cheap

My wife and I just returned from the most wonderful vacation we have ever had. We spent a week at Little Dix for our anniversary and could not have been more impressed. Originally heading for a sister resort in the Grenadines, that ended up closing...

Pros: relaxation, good service, easy access to water sports
Cons: removed/inaccessable, can be hot,

We went to Virgin Gorda on our honeymoon (1995). We spent a week at the Bitter End Yacht Club and a week in a bungalow near The Baths. We loved both. When you travel to Virgin Gorda, you definitely feel like you are getting away from it all. For us it...

Pros: Fairly accessible from the US, gorgeous beaches
Cons: Not for non-swimmers or beach-goers

What a beautiful paradise! I've travelled there twice, once in the spring of 1995 (no kids yet) and once a year later with a fourteen month old (do the math, and no she wasn't conceived there but I was slightly with child on my first visit). Our...

Pros: relaxing, tourist oriented, beautiful, Better resorts
Cons: not for partying

I've traveled to the British Virgin Islands many times now, and I've stayed on pretty much every possible Island (except for Necker Island $$$). As for a nice, relaxed, tourist-oriented vacation, Virgin Gorda is the best. Virgin Gorda is very welcoming....

Pros: Absolutely beautiful, clean, safe & great weather
Cons: Difficult to access

After seventeen hours of travel, my husband, 11 month old daughter and I arrived on Virgin Gorda. Needless to say, we were exhausted and in need of a shower, nap and a good meal!

Yes, you read correctly, I said SEVENTEEN HOURS. My husband...

Pros: Beautiful, tranquil, friendly, sincere, safe, adventures, sailor's dream
Cons: Somewhat remote, technically lagging (Internet, newspapers, etc.), culturally lacking

The location of Leverick Bay was the site of our honeymoon in January 2000. We could not have asked for a more perfect place and community to welcome us! By leasing one of the privately-owned hillside homes/condos through an agent, you get a really...

Pros: Interesting Scenery
Cons: A short excursion isn't long enough

As cruise passengers, my husband and I like to take excursions that interest us and also allow us to get away from the “herd.” During a sailing on Carnival’s Paradise last May, we went on an excursion to The Bath’s at Virgin Gorda. Without a doubt, it...

Pros: great beaches friendly people

Pros: Lots of boating, lots of wind, lots of sun
Cons: Not much of a kids program

Our family went to the Bitter End Yacht Club - 41-year old windsurfer Dad, 40-year old former-sailing instructor Mom, 5 year old girl, and 3-year old boy. We had so much fun! Boating every day! The winds were steady but a bit high for the little ones...

Pros: best island in the BVI, best beach for exploring
Cons: take a ferry to get there, expensive

I have sailed around all of the BVI islands, and I would have to say that the fat virgin "Virgin Gorda" is the best of all of the British Virgins. We stayed at the Bitter End resort which is a tropical paradise. There are pools, flowers, boardwalks, ...

Pros: beauty, activities (tennis and every imaginable water sport; horseback riding might be available on another part of the island, pleasant bike ride to beach
Cons: beach is not right at cottage

The very first place we stayed at in the Caribbean was Biras Creek (http://www.biras.com/). It is on a very narrow hilly part of Virgin Gorda (British Virgin Islands) that is cut off from the rest of...
