Manpot said: Just stay at Leverick " The Better End".. Mal is right, the facility at Leverick is far superior in my opinion. Add the host and hostess and the TTOL deal it's a no brainer!

Met Nick today. And was reintroduced to Leverick for the first time in 25 years. Incredible on every front! We knew things were off to a good start when a somewhat reluctant Bounce let us pet him...drawing a beautiful British "Bloody Hell!" From Nick. I've chartered the BVI around 20 times since 1986 and we have ALWAYS spent at least one night at Bitter End...as was the case on this trip. After making a connection with Nick yesterday to set things up, then motoring over first thing this morning, we are total converts. On reflection, Bitter End has always held a certain allure of being a place that looks like a lot of fun. But after today's foray to the other end, we realize that Leverick is ACTUALLY a really fun place to be. Started the day with Tito and company for a super easy slip landing, a gracious reception by Nick, a terrific safari truck rental, a dip in the pool, showers, shopping and an unforgettable night of food and dancing at Jumbies. Back to the Beneteau 45 now for a gentle roll on the dock and a great night's sleep. Nick, Tito and Leverick, can't wait to see you next year and every trip after! Thanks.

[color:"black"][/color] Well, I am not an expert on BEYC (I have only dinghied over and walked the beach and docks) but here is My 2 cents: - Friday BBQ at Jumbies is not to be missed (best ribs, smoked pig, chicken, slaw, rice everything was awesome!) <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/band.gif" alt="" /> - Access to roads and a vehicle if you want to explore the rest of the island and go to the baths at your leisure - if you are on a boat and on a slip you get free water and ice and can apply the TTOL discount! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

There is no comparison. Once you land or moor at Leverick you will be hard pressed to return to where they don't know your name and don't care to. The staff and services at Leverick are amazing. The food upstairs has always been the best on the islands and we have some of our most fun nights in the BVI hanging with the Jumbies or Michael Beans. Then add that the rest of Virgin Gorda is open to you and the rental vehicle that Nick has organized. Well, you cannot go wrong. We still haven't been to Hog Heaven, but there is always next time. I have no reservations recommending Leverick over all of the other North Sound offerings. Heck you can even get to the other places via ferry or dinghy for the most part, but once you try Leverick, the other places will be distant memories I fear. That is what happened to us anyhow. Oh how I wish we were headed there this year.
