I have looked at the dock fees and resort fees. As a charter, does the 3x price warrant a visit for a night to the resort for a returning crew to the BVI as a alternate? Recent experiences welcome. Thanks

We spent just one night in a slip in 2018 and absolutely loved it. The level of service and cleanliness of the pool area was outstanding. So in November of 2021 we were excited for 2 nights ( on either end of the charter )...this time, not so impressed. Pool towels were almost non-existent, upkeep of the pool area itself was lacking..I don't know, it was just a little disappointing I guess.

Thank you both for the insight!!...Manpot: Although not in the main group, we met as a result of a connection with Saildoggie in 2002..we stayed at shifting sands at little apple bay. You and Candace were very welcoming when we met you on your beach walk...just sayin'

Thank you again both for the insight!

We’ve stayed in a slip and at the hotel. Most recently at the hotel last month for 3 nights post charter. The place is beautiful and the service was wonderful. Some of the friendliest staff I’ve encountered.

I may be too late with my opinion, however if you plan to spend most of a day at Scrub and take advantage of the pools, N beach and hike the trail, it is probably well worth it. That said, you don't mention when you are planning to be there, but the docks were jammed with DYC boats which couldn't move, two weeks ago.

Take the Scrub ferry to Trellis and eat at Marche or Loose Mongoose.

We have eaten at the Loose Mongoose twice now and have enjoyed both meals. Just make sure to bring your bug spray. I never get bit by noseeums but I do there!

Quick questions about 4 years ago we brought our dinghy to Scrub and went up to the pool and bar for a few hours. It was lovely, is that still allowed if you aren’t a hotel or paid slip guest? thanks
