Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina

We chartered with Marine Max through VI Sailing (Melody). The resort is relatively good condition given the damage it sustained from last years storms. Dinner was good and service adequate. Our debriefing went well. Simon was thorough. The other young man was very polite (can’t remember his name - I think it was Ace) and very responsive when we needed help. Anytime he saw us doing something, he would be right there to lend a hand. A few little ‘misses’ that were promptly addressed. We were perfectly prepared for some ‘bumps’ since it’s our first time back post-storm. Great place. Glad to see them back on their feet!

Flying from Toronto to BVI is not easy. I had to connect in Charlotte to St. Maarten, then take a Winair flight, a 12-hour journey. Arriving at Beef Island airport was easy, and the dock for ferry service to Scrub Island was just a short walk, though the hotel did arrange a shuttle for me. The ferry ride was just over 10 minutes and quite scenic, and it was quite a way to arrive at the island. Walking pass the yachts, you reach the main building, where the reception, activity booking desks and the restaurants are. My room was HUGE. I was at the furthest building from the main, and being in the corner room, I had a 270-degree view of the sea and the surrounding islands. The view was stunning no matter the time of day. It has a separate bedroom and living space area, with a huge bathroom and wardrobe, and a full kitchen. There was even a washer and dryer. It had more amenities than many downtown condo apartments. There is a general store downstairs where you can buy food, drinks and other daily items. For a store serving only the residents and guests at a private island, I think the price was quite reasonable by North American standards. It means you can easily prepare full meals inside your suite. It was full moon when I arrived, and there was a fire festival on Beef Island. it was fun! Fire throwers, beach side DJS, lots of food - a real Caribbean-style party. I was there by myself, and I felt safe. Do try some chicken and pork jerk from the stalls. The price is great and the flavour is bursting. They are serious about lobsters at Scrub Island. BVI is famous for their lobsters, and one of the islands, Anegada, has an annual lobster festival in November. As I said, I went there in June, but I intend to eat some lobster. I am quite happy to find that they have a cage of live lobsters by the marina to make sure there is a supply of fresh, local catch. And it was delicious! You must also try the spa. I had a foot revistalizing massage, where they used a combo of minty herbs for a massage and wrap. i could feel my legs get lighter and lighter, and it was an amazing feeling. As I laid there for the wrap, the attendant gave me a light shoulder and facial massage, and then she braided my hair and decorated it with a frangipani flower. It was such a sweet thing to do! I loved the environment on Scrub Island, where you can enjoy the BVi scenery and weather in a serene, and secure environment. It is a luxury property, but it wasn't stuck up. Going to town meant a bit of effort, but they can order a driver for you, and help you negotiate a fair price for your outing. I would stay at Scrub Island again when I return to BVI.

Fabulous 1 bedroom with full kitchen and livingroom (all decked out like I wish my house was) combined with a luxurious resort. Fun outdoor restaurant overlooking the pool and marina, great ferry too and from the airport...we will be back!

This island is perfect to relax, to chill. Our room was amazing with a great sea / boats view. Amenities are great. I have nothing bad to say about scrub islad . Sandwiches at the cafeteria were good. Service. I LOVED IT HERE.

Just returned from a great relaxing 5 night stay on Scrub Island. Fredrico and his staff has done an amazing job listening to customers and making the stay a true experience. While small in area, 3 beaches, two pools, a spa, and " special" events made the stay a real pleasure. The people from the wait staff, (Jennifer X 2)at the restaurants, Lou the concierge, Fredrico the GM who is always interested in your well being, as well as everyone wishing you a good day, you can not help but have a pleasant stay!
