Fodor's Expert Review Scrub Island Resort, Spa and Marina

Part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, this swanky resort is on a 250-acre island just off the east end of Tortola and provides a posh getaway for relaxing around the pool or beach, enjoying a water-sports excursion or two, and being pampered in the plush spa. The fabulous two-level pool has stellar views. Rooms are elegant and spacious with dark wood furniture and colorful accents—they stretch out around the marina, dining, and shopping areas. There are also villas for rent. For a bit more privacy, head over to the resort's North Beach—it has a pool and lots of private spaces along the shore.
