Hey all. We'll be back in May, our third consecutive trip. We'll be spending two nights in Anegada and want to leave from North Sound to get there.
We've stayed at Bitter End. It was fine, but the dining wasn't that great, and the showers were pretty dank. We also stayed on a ball at Biras, which was nice and peaceful, but again, the dining was overpriced and pretty mediocre.
We've *visited* saba by dinghy and liked the food and drink, but we've never done Leverick and are considering it.
I know its a favorite here, so please if you can, share what you like about it. What makes Leverick a favorite stopover?
Cheers and thanks!

In addition to the above (Nick and Monica), there's a number of other benefits.
1. Great TTOL discount
2. Great spot to rent a car from to explore - we usually do 2 nights and do dinner out via rental the first night, then explore via rental car the next day and back at Leverick for dinner.
3. Friday night BBQ
4. Meet other TTOLers

Nick & Monica, great guys on the dock in the marina and the fuel dock, reasonably priced bar food at the beach bar, market onsite, rental cars onsite... We're fans as are the crew we've brought there.
Cheers, RickG

Leverick is fun whether you get a slip or a ball. My crews LOVE the Jumbie Beach Bar and Friday night BBQ. The Jumbie performance is really fun to watch--I could never do what those young performers do! Sooooo much fun! As mentioned, there is Upstairs for a good meal, shopping, and opportunities to explore. I always put Leverick on my itinerary. Try it, you'll be back.
The world is an oyster; now where did I leave my oyster knife...?

"However, last time I used the showers they were icky."
I brought this to Nicks attention and he assures me that he will gladly accompany you next time to ensure there are no issues. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

I especially liked the one shower with the electrical outlet so you can dry your hair while you shower. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Rofl.gif" alt="" />
If I can't be a good example, I'll just have to be a horrible warning.

I agree with most that have already been touched on (location, ease for a land tour of the island, restaurants...). I might add that the staff there usually seems pretty friendly. We usually pick up some provisioning items that we missed at the start from the store. And while it doesn't apply for everybody, Bean's is a plus too.
And for full disclosure-I've never met Nick or his wife...sometimes it seems like I'm the only one here who hasn't! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />
