Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina greets boats arriving from Tortola with hills of thick vegetation and unspoiled beaches, offering guests the opportunity to either get involved in a host of water-based activities or get lost in their own tropical fantasies. Bamboo fans cool cozy guest rooms outfitted in dark hardwoods and understated Caribbean décor. Villas at the top of the hill grant a crow's nest view of the surrounding islands.

Beautiful view Pool very nice Food average Service average Hotel management did not tell us or advise on web site main restaurant fine dining closed during our stay Front desk clueless about activities going on this week Front desk said they made reservations for dinner but on arrival no reservations had been made Gymnasium has lots equipment but at least half nonfunctional One treadmill cheap brand for whole gym Suggests to me they are very pressed for cash May be better to come another season when things are improved Only 40 % occupancy this week

The hotel was at 40% occupancy per front desk. Their restaurant was only the Donovan’s Reef (bar) at pool. VERY limited menu. Mostly bar food. They said it was on website. That is not true. I’ve been all over the website as have my friends and we don’t see anything about this. The gym equipment doesn’t work. Old and dilapidated. Took almost 45” to get eggs for breakfast this morning. One other party in restaurant. Holes in the curtains in room. Lights in palm trees disconnected and inoperable. Main restaurant not open though not stated on website. They told us upon arrival that Wednesday was festival night but our friend called night before and they told him it wasn’t happening yet. Website flyer page doesn’t specify at all. It isn’t happening. Staff seems to be ill equipped to answer questions. They also need to clean up their website with current information to clarify for high and low season offerings. I would not return here. It is cost for first class prices and not first class experience. We will go to Bitter End next time.

This Marina was great, all the amenities you get with your slip, amazing! The pools are wonderful as well as the work out center. The pools bar was fun and lots to do as far as games and entertainment throughout the day. It is a nice place to stop mid trip to get to some clean showers and fun activities.

We have been to Scrub Island resort multiple times over the last ten years. The views are beautiful. However, this year was disappointing. With rates for a 4/5 star hotel the facility was sub-par. A highlight was the spa. Communication was lacking and maintenance needs improvement. A/C never cooled the room to temperature. Hot water heater for friends room didn’t work. Bar/restaurant workers at Donovan’s reef seemed disinterested in serving. We were not informed about the amenities that were not available. The return ferry to Trellis Bay to catch our plane was 15 minutes late waiting on a captain. The reply to my survey left me flat, with only excuses. No indication the issues were being worked or resolved. Sent a note to Mainsail Hotels, the corporate headquarters, and have not received acknowledgment nor a reply. Sorry to say, we won’t return.

A Perfect Day at Scrub Island Resort & Ixora Spa ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Scrub Island never disappoints! As someone living in Tortola, I can say it’s always worth the trip. We went over around 11am, relaxed by the pool, had a tasty lunch, and later checked into our room. Dinner was such a surprise—the food, service, and atmosphere honestly felt like a fine-dining experience. Since it was my birthday, the team (and even the chef!) made sure it felt extra special. The next morning started with coffee and yoga with Debbie Mathioudaki—she set the tone for such a relaxing day. After that, a massage and pedicure had me feeling completely renewed. What I love most is that it feels so luxurious, but also super friendly and welcoming at the same time. Whether it’s a birthday, a spa day, or just lunch and pool time, Scrub Island is the perfect escape. Huge thanks to Alex and Debbie for their passion and kindness—you made it unforgettable!
