Where to stay in the virgin gorda
 

My family and I are interested in visiting the virgin gorda. any ideas of where to stay and is there good snokeling off any of the beachs? also has anyone heard of the Paradise Beach Resort? Many thanks, theresa

We stayed at Paradise Beach resort several years ago. It's simple,nothing fancy, but we liked it. The beach is beautiful, and there were very few people around. The grounds are nicely kept. You will need a vehicle as it is in the middle section of the island. You can kayak to the most beautiful beach in the BVI, Savannah Bay, right next door! There's one restaurant nearby, Georgio's Table (Italian) which we thought was delicious. We thought the snorkeling was good right off the beach also. Any questions, let me know--Kathrine

One more thing--if you go to TravelTalkOnline and check out the BVI bulletin board, you may find some more info that will help you out! Kathrine

katherine, thanks for the info, the pictures of Paradise look wonderful but they don't have any pictures of the villa itself. Was it in pretty bad shape? was it at least clean? If you have anymore details or info on other places to stay I would appreciate it. Even input of places on other islands. thanks theresa

No, it wasn't in bad shape at all! Just simple, not fancy. I'd stay there again to be sure. One other place that appeals to a lot of people that might be worth checking out is Guavaberry. It's down near the Baths. Everybody seems to like it that has stayed there. As far as other islands, I've been to others, but VG is my favorite. Anguilla is also wonderful--we stayed at Blue Waters--very nice! Kathrine

Theresa - The Bitter End Yacht Club is a great place on Virgin Gorda with lots to do, including snorkeling trips. A little expensive but well worth it in our opinion.

In my opinion, best value for a family is at Nail Bay. Good size suites with full kitchens, fabulous snorkeling off Mountain Trunk Bay just a 5 minute walk down the hillside trail. Best of all, very reasonable price. Occasional power outages, but unless you are staying at Little Dix Bay (which has its own power station) that is the way of life on VG. Anyway, it only adds to the family memories. Visit the website Nailbay.com.
