We reserved a mooring ($37) and a 7:30pm dinner seating at Lovango Resort. We enjoyed it, but they are still working out the kinks. Pricing is similar to Pirate's Bight with wine slightly less expensive. It's a novelty for us and certainly worth a first visit. Our St. Thomian server was new to fine dining, but she was so delightful and attentive that it more than made up for it. Some of the remaining staff are from New England.
This morning we are rocking and rolling in the anchorage. It is pretty exposed and there are white caps among the moorings.
Cheers, RickG

Thanks for the update Rick. We have a mooring reserved next month (mid-month) for overnight and dinner. We'll be on a Lagoon 450. Based on the mooring feld conditions would you suggest skipping this? Our guests are newbies...... It was blowing 20 gusting 25 from the East so it was a bit sporty. I would use your judgement and the weather report. It was a nice new stop. Cheers, RickG

I saw people playing cornhole after dinner. We did not wander about as we were the last to be seated and they were closing up. They are happy to answer questions. Give them a call.

Cheers, RickG Isn’t that something how much attitude can make up for something, good for them. I was that experienced server once and remember the kind people. Are you still in the F&B biz? If the stars align, we will stop by next month. I also want to hit Zozo’s as well.

We are booked for a mooring ball & dinner in Mid-February. We were told our mooring ball would be available at 5 pm. Are we allowed to use the pool, etcetera at the resort before or after our dinner?

Lovango websiteDinner Moorings at Lovango: Available every night between 5 PM and 10 PM. $35 per mooring. Due to COVID capacity requirements, arrival on Lovango is limited to 20 minutes before your dinner reservation time. Reservations Strongly Recommended Overnight moorings at Lovango: Available every night between 5 PM until 10 AM the following day. $35 per mooring.

Cleobeach, we closed the brewery in 2019 after ten years. I am glad to be out of the business during COVID.

Cheers, RickG We have family and close friends in the same biz and 2020/2021 to date have been brutal. The family member is already planning on shutting the doors after the summer season. Zozo's responded to my email but being that we are sailing, I didn't make a reservation. We will likely do the small plates/booze unless we get lucky with a last minute reservation (unilkely)

I am hearing both that people like Zozo's and others think the value is not there. We ate at The Terrace last night and it was an excellent experience. We are hearing very good things about Morgan's Mango this season. But, using the Caneel/Lind Point anchorage you get day boat wakes starting at 9AM. At least the dreaded BVI and Caneel Bay ferry wakes are not posing dangerous life threatening wakes any more. I really wish VIPCA would put in a controlled mooring field in Cruz Bay.
