Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina

Scrub is one of those places that makes your vacation pure perfection. It has it all - gorgeous views, beautiful and spacious rooms/suites, impeccable and friendly service, great food at several restaurants from which to choose, fun games to keep young ones (and old) busy and wonderful gift shops too! My husband and I visited here 2 years ago and thought that Scrub is the perfect island in the BVI. We brought our kids this time and they agreed that out of all the islands they saw these past 2 weeks, that Scrub has it all. The resort manages to balance perfectly between honeymoon hideout and fun family vacation. I highly recommend staying here, but beware...you will want to go back over and over again!

Scrub Island was another place we secured dock space on our sailing adventure and tied up for the evening. So glad we did. We very much enjoyed ourselves lounging around the two tiered pool with its infinity edge and the spa. Also enjoyed the service; having someone bring us a couple of adult beverages so we could just sit back and soak it all in was great. That evening we dined in the covered, outdoor restaurant and the meal was excellent and the service (by Island standards) was pretty good although, again, one of our meals came out after everyone had pretty much finished theirs -- a common occurrence at several places we dined at this trip. Regardless, it was nothing to get upset over and our waitress was more than apologetic so no harm, no foul. Other items of note: the resort has a very nice clothing / gift shop that we took full advantage of buying some Scrub Island gear. There's also a deli / general store that more than fits the bill if you need to re-stock provisions for your trip. They also have a nice area to shower (no charge) and nice, clean, well-maintained bathrooms -- although neither are air conditioned. We also had great fun one evening taking in the Tarpon that hung around the docks feeding. What a site!! And what a feast the Tarpon had. Too bad they're not a good eating fish or you could go crazy fishing. Bitter End, overall, may have more to offer, but I'm so glad we stayed at Scrub too. The resort is beautiful, the staff is attentive and friendly, and the amenities with the pool / spa, bar / restaurant, beach area, deli and general store, dive shop, etc., all were great. If I was looking for a spot to spend a few nights, this, along with Bitter End, would be at the top of my list.

We stayed at Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina this past month before and after our 5-day live-aboard Catamaran Sailing Certification Course with Offshore Sailing School. The resort is lovely. The rooms are gorgeous, expansive, and updated. The spa has amazing views. North Beach is a quiet little slice of heaven on earth. Great pools, including a swim-up infinity pool bar. Both restaurants were excellent and every meal was better than the last. Free water taxi to/from the airport with a delicious rum punch on arrival. We would definitely return!

My wife and I just came back from 5 nights on Scrub Island...We had a delightful 1 bedroom suite, fully equipped with a wolf gas range, SubZero Fridge/Freezer, washer/dryer, granite countertops and more...The bathrooms were amazing with a huge shower and huge soaking tub. We were able to enjoy a lot of the amenities, from the pools, restaurants, water sports and beaches...Looking out over the marina, enjoying a cold beverage or two...watching the sunset...it was pretty spectacular... We look forward to returning to Scrub Island, doing some additional excursions and explorations...but if you are looking to get away from it all for a few days...Scrub Island is a great place to go.

We have moored at Scrub Island for three years and this year was so disappointing, we have decided to scrub Scrub Island resort from our itinerary. Even though the staff is very helpful and courteous, the conditions of the property were not acceptable. Examples: pool was so murky that you couldn't see your feet, dirty pool features, the shower areas are dirty and missing parts of their cabinets, lacking trashcans, the restaurant has lobsters in cages under the docks where the boats are coming in and out with oil/gas in the water. Overall I am terribly sad to have to warn people to stay away until the management does a complete overhaul of the property!
