Yes, Leverick is best. If the ladies want a little luxury, then Scrub might be the answer.

Leverick number one without question...and getting better every year.
Why: wonderful breeze, incredible dock guys ( Leroy, Tito and Troy) tip them well, they work hard.
Great food at the downstairs restaurant for lunch and superb dining upstairs, a relaxing pool, perfect spot for laundry, fun evening entertainment ( Michael Beans Mon, Tues and Wed, Jumbies, great BBQ and band on Friday) , some nice shopping including a small store for basics with wonderful baked goods .
.....and best of all the amazing Nick and Monica <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Kiss.gif" alt="" />

Bob,
Our Marina stops for every trip are Leverick- fairly obvious from the previous posts
Scrub Island Resort- dockmasters Savio and Kurt are very friendly and helpful. Check with you on occasion to see if you need anything. Awesome pools/hot tub. At the main resort the infinity edge pool, overlooking Marina Cay and Trellis Bay, with a swim up bar and hot tub are on the upper level. The water overflows the infinity edge and spills into the lower pool. There is a water slide connecting the two pools. The lower pool has a beach like entrance (ankle deep gradually increasing in depth to full depth). It also has a swim up bar. The resort provides free transportation to another area called North Beach which has a small pool, bar, beautiful beach with cabanas. There are two resturants although we have not been impressed with the food lately at the outdoor restaurant. There is a Dive shop, market, deli there as well. The showers are the best we have seen (large private room), granite and tile, piped in music. The shower rooms can get stuffy, I think the air con is either non existent or under sized. Most of the people we have met at scrub are staying in rooms at the resort on Rewards Points and are very nice and eager to hear about sailing. There are typically more landlubbers as compared to sailors at Scrub, opposite of what you will see at Leverick. It is more expensive than Leverick during the peak season. I think our bill for one night (slip, ice, water, power) was $150. If you go during late summer or in the fall they May have TTOL specials.
Cheers,
Tony

NoelHall said: Yes, Leverick is best. If the ladies want a little luxury, then Scrub might be the answer. Noel, you hit the nail on the head. Dress up & dine time for the ladies. We (I believe already made reservations for 1 nite at Scrub) We will probably hit one more for the land lubbers aboard. Leverick seems to be the hands down choice here. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" /> Thanks to all.

Biras creek does indeed have some very pretty trails and interesting places to explore. I would suspect the dock would be very hot as it is very sheltered. Cant get there by car. We always spend time anchored just at the mouth of this little bay and dinghy around. The trails on Biras property and like walking trails . Deep Bay is beautiful Some horses to visit BEYC has great hiking trails with small grades ,narrow paths, rocks ect Wear sneakers. They link to Biras so if up for an adventure and some exercise spend the morning exploring....amazing views

The food at Biras is great - not cheap though. Great also applies to the facility itself - beautiful buildings and stunning views. But, and for me this is a big but - closed shoes, collard shirt and worst of all, long pants.
