RickinAtlanta said: WOW that seems very surprising about Tamarind as I've read, or so I thought, a lot of positive commentrs here on TTOL. But if you read TripAdvisor, it is very mixed, with the negatives generally about two of the four family members, the dogs or lost reservation/credit card issues. YMMV

I use TA as well but we had a very good experience there the one time we went to watch the Kentucky Derby and met the owners who are from Woodstock, GA as are we.
Also looking at TA Tamarind is rated #10/28 while Lambert is 8/28 not a blowout. Since January 1st Lambert has eleven 5*, eight 4*, four 3*, and one 2*. Tamarind has seven 5*, four 4*, and one 2*.
NOT for argument just for comparison sake.

Stayed one night at Lambert in 2007. I think they were in transition, ownership-wise, at the time.
Anyway, I had paid for a gardenview room, but without asking, was upgraded to a beach front...must've been my charming face...actually I was one of only two customers that night! The room was a bit dated, but very clean and comfortable. The landscaping was gorgeous, and I did a little walk and sniff tour of the garden at sunrise.
This past January we stayed at Tamarind to enjoy the full moon party at Trellis before heading home. We had 2 meals and a continental breakfast, all delicious and enjoyable in the covered living space next to the bar and pool.
Our room was clean, but needed maintenance on the doors and lacked enough electric outlets to have room lights and recharge our electronics. At checkout, they volunteered that a mistake had been made with our reservation and charged us a low season rate, which cheered us up considerably.

Lambert Beach has gone through several years of trials and tribulations followning the Raffle's debacle but appears to be on the way back. The original owners finally recovered clear title late in 2014 and I believe Giorgio Paradisi,formerly of Giorgio's on VG, is running it now.

Be aware that in any sort of north swell the under tow at Lambert and Josiah's can be deadly. The worst rip currents on accessable beaches in the BVI.

We stayed at Tamarind a few years ago after our two weeks aboard reef Song before our departure home and loved it. 15 minute walk to Josiah's beach which was lovely. lots of locals do visit ( with their dogs) Didn't bother us.....and the food was indeed wonderful and plentiful. The pool was refreshing and a nice way to cool off before bed. the rooms yes are basic, cool a/c and the doors don't lock. We simply stowed our stuff in our bags and did not worry about it.
We explored the entire North shore beaches that same trip by car and yes Lamberts beach and resort are lovely. totally deserted tho when we were there.
I guess depends what you are after...a room right on a gorgeous beach with questionable service or a solid spot with a good reputation a little walk away from another gorgeous beach. Josiah's has a very cool vibe with the incredible Naoimi and her awesome beach bar.
we have also stayed in Josiah's Bay Inn ...also run by Naoimi....small little apartments , clean and well maintained but no a/c .
wish Photobucket didn't hate me ...I'd upload some of the many photos I have of these places. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />
