Sugar Mill or Prospect Reef
 
I had literature on both reaorts sent to me & I am even moe confused? Are they both on a beach? This is for my honeymoon, any help would be appreciated.<BR><BR>Thanks!

I have only stayed at Long Bay, but have heard good things about Sugar Mill. Prospect Reef is near road town and not on a beach. Although its convenient for boat trips and shopping I would rather be at Sugar Mill as far as location.

Nicole,<BR> I also stayed at Long Bay for my honeymoon.Sugar Mill is close- it is not on a beach, but across the road from a small one.

Hi Nicole - <BR><BR>Prospect Reef is on the Channel (south side) of Tortola and has no beach. <BR><BR>Sugar Mill is on the North Shore where most of Tortola's beaches are BUT they're not blessed with much of one. They have constructed a breakwall and an very small beach/swimming area. OK for a dip and sun but a let down if you<BR>are looking for an awesome beach to stay on.<BR><BR>If you want a nice beach at your doorstep and those romantic strolls after dark, check out Long Bay Beach Resort, Lambert Bay Resort and any of the Inns at Cane Carden Bay.<BR><BR>Dave

Thanks for helping me out. I just got the pamphlet feom Long Bay, is that on a beach? If so a nice one?

There are some rooms on the beach.<BR>The other rooms are hillside a short walk to the beach with beautiful views of the caribbean. The beach at Long Bay is pretty but very short beach space and rocky. Smugglers cove is a short walk or drive as well as other beaches on near you. We rented a car and took alot of day trips. We took a ferry ride to Jost Van Dyke,<BR>sail trip or ferry to the baths on Virgin Gorda. <BR>Don't forget to visit the Bomba Shack<BR>for Bomba Punch or the full moon Party.<BR><BR>Have Fun.

Nicole,<BR> The beach at Long Bay is a bit rocky for swimming in places, but it's a LONG beach, and is very nice at the end. Smuggler's is an easy walk- 10 minutes.It is a beautiful view- we stayed in a jacuzzi suite on the hill overlooking the stunning water with a view of Jost. Did the same day trip as ML- rented our jeep at Long Bay. I highly recommend this as a honeymoon spot- we loved it.
