Anyone who has stayed at Scrub Island. Thoughts and isn’t it worth the money? Is there a better place? It looks amazing. Thanks!

Not my style and there are several other options..others love the place. You might look at Leverick..The Sugar Mill on Tortola..

It is a beautiful resort with luxury for sure but it is a luxury resort and not quite the earthy, limin' vibe of the BVI.

We like it for a mid week "break" while on the bareboat charter. Electricity/ water / excellent showers, pools/hot tub, small grocery store. Would probably eat at the pool side cafe (Donovan's reef?) instead of the "fancy diner" (Cardamom) for diner next time.

I’ve reserved a slip for a midweek break at the end of March. Pool day, showers, was wondering about splurging on the meal.

You can hop the Scrub ferry or dinghy over to Marina Cay for dinner. In my opinion, better food, and definitely an island vibe. And here’s a local tip: if my papayas ripen, look for the fresh tuna with papaya salsa or chutney.

We stayed there in a slip in Dec and it was great. We had our anniversary dinner at Cardamon and thought it was excellent.

An update to what I posted earlier...I have stayed in the hotel and on the dock. Such a lovely property. I most definitely recommend a night on the dock as a mid week stop for the showers, pool and dinner. We had a terrific meal in the fancy restaurant last trip (pre Irma).

Mid-trip, we always take a slip for a night at Scrub. All the crew loves it and it's not expensive. Now that we're starting there on our next trip in May, it'll be a bit different.
