We always do 2 nights at Leverick on the dock. Thu/Fri typically. Thursday evening we get the rental car and head to Coco Maya for dinner. We tour the island Friday and then have dinner at the BBQ Friday night.
We've done this with a number of different groups and everyone loves it. Being on the dock is great too and everyone can come and go as they please.

mdoyle9999 said: I would do both, and dockside at Leverick. +1 There are a ton of options: stay there, hit jumbies, the pool, the internet cafe, the upstairs restaurant... or, go hike Gorda Peak, cab over to the Baths, dink over to Sandcastle, BEYC, Saba, etc., etc.
... DIF all the time...

In 20 years of doing the BVI's our last trip was the first for renting a car on Virgin Gorda. It was the high light of our trip. Leverick is the perfect spot for a "lay day".

Our ladies love the Spa at Peter Island. Have you had an opportunity to compare it to the spa at Leverick?

Advantage of Leverick, the best laundry facility around, nice spa, great food and pool at the Jumbie Bar, the best hosts in BVI, re-provisioning options, along with all the other reasons previously posted.

I like to do two days in the NS...one at Leverick and one at Saba/BEYC. I'd do two nights at Anegada every time if I could.
I suppose it might be different if we all knew Nick as well as some of you guys.

Scrub Island called me with a special in January. $199.00 for a suite. Normally $640.00.

Julie from Mainsail Lodging and Development called me on Saturday morning to tell about their January special. We already had a slip reserved so that's how she got my number. I think you have to have a slip reserved in order to be eligible for the promotion.

Well there is that. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> I was thinking mainly for the thread starter who is on their first trip though. Although...I've never met him and have been going there for quite some time....I just don't get down there as often as others.
