Rhymers Beach Hotel Tortola

... 100% trustworthy and very helpful.<br><br>Elm Villa gets our very highest recommendation. I can think of no negative comment or caveat from our experience there. We had a terrific time and the Villa far exceeded our expectations. If you are looking to rent stellar accommodations on Tortola, this is the place for you! We will definitely go back, and are even kicking around the idea of making a stay at Elm Villa an annual family ...

... we were making our way to Jost Van Dyke where we were racing Grace in the infamous Foxy's Wooden Boat Regatta. I proudly mentioned to Foxy, who himself is an institution, that I first met him when I was 3, then 9 and now at the age of 34. Of course to me he hasn't changed a bit (even if he's in his 70's): still a Rastafarian joking with his customers while he sits on the hammock outside his island bar. Dad did the first race: a single ...

... the ship's doctor stationed on the 4th deck. After a quick check up of blood pressure, etc.... I was given an needle of something plus sea sickness pills. :( Happy to report that after two hours, I felt better, not 100% myself but better. <br><br>Therefore, today, I stayed on board instead of visiting St. Thomas island. Since we were doing two cruises with Caribbean Princess - Southern &amp; Western being back to back, last week, we had the luxury ...

... gate of the Baths park, we were instructed that there were two different trails that would bring us to two different beaches. One trail being further away while another one, closer. Our adventurous side voted for the furthest trail. <br><br>Therefore, off we went, with bathing suits under our clothes, down the marked small uneven rocky trail that had a variety of cactuses and trees as surroundings. As we made our way around several ...

... of our eyes. Wow! In the distance, Magens Bay, which is rated by the National Geographic Society as being one of the top 10 beaches in the world could be seen. It was paradise! Deep blue Sapphire water, white sandy beaches, you name it...it was a beautiful site. On our way back to the safari bus, we took the time to browse through the shops and souvenirs were purchased.<br><br>As we made our ...

This past May11th - 23rd my husband, 5 kids (ages ranging from 6 to 25), one son in law, and myself, all took at trip to Tortola, BVI. We've been to the USVI in the past and to just about all of the leeward islands. This was our first time to the BVI. We started off taking chartering a sailboat for a 3 day sail around the BVI, stopping at gorgeous islands such as Virgin Gorda. The baths there are a natural phenomenon!! There are enormous boulders there. I believe I had read on their ...

... crew, took over cooking detail for the entire trip. It was a heavenly passage for me not to worry about what to prepare for four hungry people and we ate like royalty the entire trip. We caught two mahi-mahi and ate them within an hour of landing. What could be better? We made landfall at the back of the pack - partly because of the weight of our boat and all the water and fuel we carry and partly because of our reluctance to burn the ...

... we had to be all aboard at 2:30 and Steve was freaking out. We are on board and got to watch the ship pull away and set sail for the first time during daylight so that was a powerful thing to watch. Tonight is formal night and we have dinner plans at another restaurant from last night, but with the same group so hopefully it will be as much fun. Will check in with everyone tomorrow!! Love, Steve and Tracy

... down there that had the Lincoln Continental the Queen and Prince Philip toured the island with in 1977. The bar has been around for over 30 years, but unfortunately the owner had died several months earlier and is now closed. The car is still there, and I tried the doors but they were locked. Another interesting bar on the island is called Bomba's Shack. Made out of the ...
