Sail, snorkel & sand: The BVI

Remember last week's freak out post about the budget? That's what happens when you fall in love with a destination before fully pricing it out. Our travel agent sent over 6 possible BVI resorts ranging from ehhh, okay to spectacular. There's a big price gap between ehhh and spectacular!

Little Dix Bay - our hands down favorite! Gorgeous accommodations and views from the cheapest rooms, lots of included amenities; near the top end of our price range.

Scrub Island - a strong first impression for this newer resort, beautiful rooms and views; possible construction noise and working out kinks (but we've taken this gamble before, loved it and saved big time).

Peter Island - gorgeous rooms and views; on the expensive side (but cheapest meal plan) and rooms in our budget have views of busier marina area.

Biras Creek - woah expensive (out of our budget before factoring in airfare but includes full board), rooms aren't as nice as cheaper resorts; highly rated food/wine, excellent location and they have Paso Finos!

source

Long Bay - inexpensive (everything's relative), lacks a wow factor, less amenities and not as picturesque as other resorts.


source

Bitter End Yacht Club - good views and great location, lots of amenities; rooms are a little tired and resort is more family-oriented.

Sailing! Beaches! Giant rock formations (imagining the photo ops)! Tasty food! Rum drinks! And relative seclusion. We're in. When do we leave??

Which resort would you choose?
