We did Best Western Caribe last June the night before departure because we had friends with early flights. It was a reasonable deal and we saved taxi fare. Normally there is a shuttle to Emerald Beach, but that was not running. It was just ok. I would have stayed at Windward Passage for the chance to grab breakfast in Frenchtown.
Cheers, RickG

jerriec, we'll keep an eye out for you. Are you on CYOA's Moonshadow? We'll probably be leaving July 18 from the Frenchtown Marina for Water Island after hitting Pueblo for provisions.
sail2wind, thanks for the tip. Its hard to get out of the Cariga's/Tickles rut, but if we stay there, why not?
Cheers, RickG

We have stayed at the Windward Passage on every trip we've made to the islands. Our last stay, on July 3, will probably be our last. The place is going downhill and no one there seems to really care. On our June trip, we got lucky and everything went well for us, but for our friends traveling with us, it was not good at all. Their room wasn't ready until around 5pm, their A/C barely worked and their key-cards were disabled about 9:30 am on check-out day, locking them out of their room. Had to request to be let back in to get their belongings.
On our most recent stay, July 3, the A/C didn't work in our room at all. They sent the maintenance guy who thought somehow changing filters would make the A/C actually blow air. (?) Obviously not the answer. Eventually we got shuffled to another room, and guess what? The A/C barely worked. We requested a fan, rather than moving again. They don't have fans!! Seriously? We will find another place to stay next time.

Best Western Emerald would be our choice
