Remember the storm very well. We arrived in Tortola 2 days prior and spent the next 8 days in an oceanfront villa at Long Bay resort in our room. Our biggest fear was the storm surge. We asked the staff about it as we were right on the sea. He repeated, "We don't have storm surges in BVI" DUH...……………. The only food was chicken and rice in Styrofoam boxes (which we paid $30 a piece for), no liquor, same wet towels every day and the most obnoxious staff we have ever ran into. They did nothing to ease our vacation through a hurricane and after a few days the dam storm came back again. 8 days stuck in a room, never even used our rental car. Never will forget our worse vacation in Tortola. We heard Sugar Mill treated their quests like royalty. Oh well, live and learn LOL
