We've done both a number of times and now primarily visit VG via Leverick bay.

Here's what we've found works great. 2 nights at Leverick - Thu/Fri if we can make it. Fri/Sat works too.

We arrive between 3 and 4. Get settled and have the rental car set for 5pm (this is why Thu/Fri is best). We head out to Coco Maya for dinner for that evening. Friday morning, we then tour the island. Baths, Coppermine point, Spanish Town, Savannah Bay, Hog Heaven..etc. Not everything in one trip, but a bunch of places we have stopped at various times. When we do visit the baths, we do head there early, have breakfast and then head down to the water.

Get back to Leverick mid afternoon, relax a bit and then enjoy the BBQ and Jumbies.

Then the next morning we have a relaxing morning before heading out.
