Guana Island Resort
This charming resort is perfect for those wanting to hike, snorkel, swim, and relax at the beach in comfort. The seaview cottages have rattan furniture and tile or painted concrete floors, while villas have a luxurious tropical decor and private pools. All are open to the cooling ocean breezes. Once you're here, you're here. You can spend your time dining and socializing with the other guests or immersed in that book you never got around to reading. Bird-watchers and nature lovers will be delighted by the sight of flamingos and other rare wildlife such as the critically endangered Anegada rock iguana, and most visitors also drop by the greenhouses where much of the food on their dinner plates originates. Tennis, water sports, and 12 miles of hiking trails attract active guests. You can rent the entire resort with a group of friends or family. The hotel's launch picks you up at Trellis Bay on Beef Island (near Tortola's airport) for the short hop across the water to the resort.
