I thought I saw that Bitter End would be rebuilding - I think I even saw them state they'd be open sometime mid to late next year. Clearly the damage they took would take 6 months to a year or more to get back to where they were though. After I posted, I checked their page.. They'll be back. http://beyc.com/

That's two vastly different stories. Have any of you heard from reputable sources that BEYC won't be opening? That's the first I've read about it.
What about Saba?

Regarding The Bitter End, their website says that they are "temporarily closed." That's all. No indication whatsoever of when they might reopen, what sort of rebuilding might be done, or anything else. Just the word "temporarily" to indicate that they hope to reopen someday.
On the other hand, the property is quite valuable. Whether it is the current owners, or someone else, eventually, SOMEONE is going to do SOMETHING with it! That's inevitable. Whether that "something" will be anything like the old Bitter End, or even use the name Bitter End... Only time will tell.

Leverick Bay is open and has condos and hotel rooms available. They have a running generator and water and have had for the majority of the time since the Hurricanes according to my friends there, and so have power, think internet has just been restored as I received an email from Monica a few days ago. They did am amazing job cleaning up the resort super fast and the restaurant downstairs is open for lunch and dinner and they are also severing Thanksgiving dinner too !! You can contact them : Melissa vgvrbvi@gmail.com or Rebecca reblewis1979@gmail.comMichael Beans is returning in Dec for his Pirate show and I believe the Jumbies too. Arawak is reopen, Dive BVI has relocated to the valley, BVI Snuba / Bradley / Powerboats/ Blue Rush will reopen beg of Dec. So loads to do and be entertained by,wined and dined at Leverick bay !

I have to wonderabout Beycas i just last night contributed to a site to raise money for them ..i paid $75.00 for a very nice IZOD t shirt so i am guessing they are legitimate ,,,i don't mind donating to a good cause , [ I even wonder if the BEYC is a legitimate cause as they must have has insurance up the butt for that place ,,but i got a great izod shirt for $75.00 .. sure a bit pricey but as longa s it goes to a good cause <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Woof.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Woof.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Woof.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Woof.gif" alt="" />

That is going to be a monumental job. BEYC was close to 100% demolished and there are more than 70 individual structures.
