I think we have narrowed it down to these two on Tortola where would you stay for special occasion, or other suggestions. Thanks, Jim

any info??

Since no Tortola or BVI fans answered, I prefer Frenchman's Cay. Nice villa set ups, small, intimate and very nice hosts. I found their dining very satisfactory and their package that includes a jeep for a day is reasonable. Not a wonderful beach but you can get in the water and some snorkling but not wonderful - great views from the villas and good breezes (no a/c needed) and on Tortola there are really no great spots on the better beaches anyhow - Smugglers and Brewers. Tortola seems to attract those who love to jeep about anyway! Have read a few reviews lately that it is not as I remember it but also wonder if sometimes expectations are too high since it is a casual, modest resort as are most on Tortola.

Thanks Karen!

We just got back from Fort Recovery and were anything but satisfied. It would have been a nicer experience if the staff were just pleasant, let alone nice. They also have a lot of hidden charges and are not very eager to put forth any effort on your behalf. If you have a choice to go somewhere else, I would. Also, Tortolla is not a clean nice island. The local people there are very rude and you'll be seeing a lot of abandoned cars and equipment laying all over the place. Good luck
