Bitter End Yacht Club

It’s been 10 years and a hurricane since we last visited the Bitter End. Whole new resort since resort. So many changes. Same beautiful location. Friendly staff. Good drinks. So much to do and explore. Most expensive drinks we came across . $80 for 4 Pina Colada’s (1 w/o alcohol) is crazy. Yes they were good .

This is my 3rd time here and I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about this resort. First off, this resort was established i believe in the early 70s. It has such history. Then Hurricane Irma wiped the majority of it clean off. They had to start from scratch and it was just devastating. So they have built new lodging and its all just amazing. Ok next, I can't say this enough, their staff.... kindest, most polite, accommodating, attentive, full of smiles people I've EVER met while traveling. They are just so amazing. They made us simply feel happy inside. They have laundry service, coffee bar, 3 restaurants - all with amazing food! - a beach, all kinds of fun in the sun activities, yoga, a small ferry boat over to Virgin Gorda, they arrange taxi service, and the grounds are amazing and impeccably clean. We were on a sailboat and there are plenty of moorings. They have a gas dock and water as well. For those on boats, they have showers for people who want a reprieve from a small shower. I didn't see them but I'm sure they're impeccable. I highly recommend Bitter End Yacht Club, whether you're staying or or boating!

I was devastated when The Bitter End Yacht Club was decimated by Hurricane Irma and didn't believe they could come back with the same Caribbean charm. I was wrong. It is the most charming boutique hotel and fun resort in The BVI. The staff as super as ever, the water-sports are buzzing with beautiful, professional instructors making it a perfect place for families and active travellers. Whether experienced or beginners, there's plenty for everyone. The old staff ferry "Reef Sampler" was salvaged from the ocean bed and is now the best quirky bar in BVI. Two choices of restaurant either the more casual Buoy Room or the finer Clubhouse offer delectable dishes and I enjoyed every bite from breakfast through dinner. The tuna tartare and the lobster are a must in The Clubhouse and The Buoy Room the Caesar salad and black bean croquets were my favourite. The other guests told me the pizzas were the best - next time! You can also eat off this menu at The Reef Sampler (my favourite spot). All the rooms are made of sweet smelling wood and nautically decorated with plenty of salvaged drift and treasures from the old BEYC which is both touching and harmonious. The most comfortable beds all looking out over the beautiful North Sound. These rooms are my absolute favourite because they are far from the beige rooms which could be in any hotel, anywhere in the world. The unique style is authentic and memorable. The myriad of boats makes the North Sound view mesmerising as they come and go. The lack of light pollution fills the black sky with stars and mixed with the pretty boat lights, it's very romantic. A perfect place to take children and teens to mix with others and get them off tablets and phones because there is so much to do. Most guests were throwing themselves into all the activities while I was super happy reading and swimming while Bacchus brought me water and rum punches on the beach. The shops have some beautiful clothes and gifts (buy the beyc drink mats that soak up the condensation that runs down the side of your glass and cause rings) and the commissary has a plethora of gourmet treats as well as staples for your room or yacht. I was very sad to leave and can't wait to go back!

We stayed impromptu at The Bitter End to get off the catamaran for a couple of days and enjoy ourselves on land. Firstly, the property is wonderful - it’s lively and interesting yet relaxing and serene. It’s well maintained and clean despite how busy it could get as we were there during the holidays. We loved having the market for convenience and the restaurants on site were both fantastic - we ate at The Clubhouse multiple times during our stay and the staff and food was wonderful. We stayed in a beach bungalow and that was the best experience - the bungalows are so well done from inside out and we loved getting to be steps from the ocean and enjoying the sunrise and sunset. Lastly, it would be amiss not to mention the incredible hospitality of the team, notably Alisha. Alisha was warm, inviting, knowledgeable and eager to help. She made everything happen for us seamlessly and stress free while we were there from bookings to transportation to knowledge about the islands. We are so grateful for her as she made our stay top notch.

Our time at Bitter End was truly incredible and one of the highlights of our trip to the BVI. The property is stunning, the atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, and there is so much to do for both adults and kids — perfect for families. What truly made our stay exceptional was Alisha. She went above and beyond to make sure our family had the best possible experience, from helping us with activities to making sure every detail was taken care of with such kindness and care. Because of her, we didn’t just enjoy the resort — we made beautiful memories we’ll cherish forever. We left already talking about when we can come back. Highly, highly recommend Bitter End and a huge thank you to Alisha for making our stay so special.
