Jason, can you elaborate... I hope they are correct, but after spending the past 34 months rebuilding from Irma I find it very difficult to believe they will get 20 hotel rooms and a restaurant open in 5 months. That has not been my Tortola experience. I've been by there recently and there is no activity yet. To me it looks like the demo and cleanup work would take 5 months there. I wish them luck but I'm skeptical of the timing.

Brian and Shamra Strange are the new owners of Long Bay and very nice folks who certainly have the resources to do this beautiful location justice ( finally). They bought and are nearly finished renovating and improving Mattei's Tavern in Los Olivos Ca. which is a historic old stage coach bar and restaurant with guest cottages. I imagine that, with that project nearly behind them, they are now concentrating on Long Bay. However long it takes ( and hard to believe they can have something open that soon) I wish them all the best. The whole west end of Tortola will greatly benefit from a well run resort with restaurants that, in the past, never lived up to expectations. I hope there is enough of a work force in the BVI's to get it done as fresh labour cannot come in yet. Lets all wish them the best and Long Live Long Bay finally!
