So you've got details to get taxi on STT, so let's look at your other points. I am unsure if you want to stay overnight at Neptune's, if so, of course you must book in advance, if you mean to be going there for an evening meal, they will prefer reservations by about 3pm. You should be on Anegada by then, so no problem. Hiring a vehicle there will be done through Dean Whitely. Calling him from VG on the day, or a day in advance should be fine. We often call as we are approaching the anchorage and have never had a problem, but for your peace of mind, a day or two in advance will be fine. His number will be supplied by others here, or readily available from VG. Driving on VG is easy compared to Tortola (as is driving on Anegada). Vehicle rental easy to arrange once you are there. As far as Jumbies night at Leverick is concerned, you DO need to reserve a table, not just turn up (though a space would be found for you). Contact them by midday, no need to be anymore in advance, you are on vacation-as is everyone else, and plans change, they are used to it. Relax and enjoy.

Just a "heads-up" about driving on Anegada. If you are doing a beach crawl, the road between Loblolly (actually across from the airport) to Anegada Beach Resort and then Cow Wreck, is not paved. No worries, just don't be concerned about being on the wrong road because it is not paved. Look for the flamingos on the ponds along the way.

And don't venture too far off that road either. Getting stuck in soft sand far away from any help can spoil your afternoon.

I would get in touch with Neptunes at least a day prior to make a reservation. Also, if you don't already know, the restuarants in Anegada want your dinner order ahead of time. In our experience it is by noon of the day you are having dinner but might be later when you are there. We are usually there during the Christmas/New Years week so it is super busy.

Most of your questions have been answered except for use of resort facilities. Leverick is very causal about the use of their pool and facilities. I believe that is also the case at Scrub if you are docking with them. Bitter End charges for use of their pool and facilities. If you dock at Peter, you may be able to use the pool, but, in general, Peter is not friendly to non-guests. The Anegada Beach a Club is very friendly about use of their facilities. Not so much at Little Dix (unless you are going to their spa,) Biras and Oil Nut Bay. You need to be a guest at Guana. I am less familiar with the resorts on Tortola. Everywhere else, the spectacular beaches are wide open for your use.

If you dock at Peter, you may be able to use the pool, but, in general, Peter is not friendly to non-guests. I'm always puzzled when I hear this (and it has indeed been said by others). We've stopped at the resort on Peter during every one of our six charters, and always found the staff friendly and accomodating. We respected their rule that the pool was for guests only (which I believe has changed now). But we've taken advantage of the beautiful beach (past the rock outcropping as they request), shop, bar, and restaurants, and wandered all around the property, without ever feeling less than welcome. Just our experience. Dan <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />

We stayed on the dock a couple years ago and the front desk treated us great and coordinated shuttle runs back and forth to the beach for us. They even took a great group photo for us! We used the pool and bar and had an awesome time. There dock fees were very high, if memory is good...we paid $165 which included electricity. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />

We may have just hit them at a bad time. It was about twelve years ago. We were on a slip. We were made to feel like interlopers for both lunch and dinner. We have never been back.
