Great time
I stayed for a weekend and have no complaints . I had a beach front cabana and the view is spectacular, the beach was not rough at all and you can find a few crystal clear spots without rocks that you can enjoy. The room was always clean and everything I requested from housekeeping was given to me. As far as ammenities, I did not use restaurant services etc. as I wanted to try different places while in Tortola. Good place to stay for a quiet and relaxing weekend.
Great time
In short - We had a "beachfront" room, which was absolutely appalling for the price. Yes the beach is very big and nice, but the water there was very rough (this hotel's on the island's Atlantic side) and the shoreline rocky as can be. Completely unsafe for children to swim in personal opinion. My husband received cuts all over his legs from body boarding there. Back to the room, it was not well maintained at all...You could tell the furniture was cheap, and quite old and out of style. Housekeeping seemed terribly overworked and unhappy and their work cleaning the room reflected this (not clean, no towels replaced). Service at their "1748" restaurant was slow, we expected this having been to the BVI many times. The food wasn't even close to good and was more pricy than the rest of the restaurants on the island (75 for 2 people for sunday brunch, WAY out of line!). I would not recommend this place to anyone to actually stay at...At best this is a nice beach to lounge at for a day, but stay elsewhere unless you like poor quality at high prices.
Be prepared!
I have read several reviews of other vacationers and I'm not sure what people expect while in the Caribbean. The staff was very friendly. If you extend a warm friendly greeting to the staff before conducting your business, the staff is very friendly and will go out of their way to make your stay comfortable. The food was not the best, therefore, I would not recommend the all inclusive. Rent a car and get out and experience the island while on vacation. We only ate 3 meals while at the resort. We tried the breakfast buffet which was terrible...it was the worse meal of our entire trip. We had burgers/hot dogs by the pool bar and they were just that...burgers/hot dogs. We did have dinner one night and the food was excellent. As for the bartenders...they were great. If you sit and chat with them they are very polite and will treat you right.We stayed in a beach front cabana and the rooms were small. However, for 2 people, the rooms were sufficient. Our room was always clean and the staff did a wonderful job each day. We don't go to the Caribbean to stay in the room all day. We go to the Caribbean to experience the beautiful islands and the wonderful food and culture. Again, rent a car and get out and experience the people and the different restaurants that Tortala has to offer. If pampering is what you expect, please choose another hotel. If a beautiful beach with sufficient accomodations for a good price is what you seek...by all means stay here. We will be back for another stay.
Great time
I am here on business and I need internet access and phone access. They only have WiFi that only works in the lobby. The charge is 10/hr 20/day. Way, Way out of line. Also, I had to use the phone and found a 5 minute call was 22.95. Way, Way, Way, Way out of line. When I came I was told the only room available was */night with 17% tax, making it almost */night. I am here with a co-worker and our company has been using this hotel for almost 4 weeks as we conduct business here. We have given them a good amount of business. My company will not be using this hotel in the future. Also, I would not recommend this facility unless you really like throwing money away. I have been in the Caribbean on this project for 4 weeks now. I have had some great hotels that were a bit expensive, but worth it. This one is not, no way. Avoid this place if you can.
Be prepared!
This hotel is extremely beat up. The rooms are furnished with gargage sale caliber furnishings and the bed led my husband and I to wake up each morning with 15 new bug bites and zero sleep. The appearance of the hotel fits the attitudes of the employees. There are no smiling faces here to welcome you and improve your vacation. Unlike the rest of the carribean, the day you leave Long Bay Resort will be a happy day. You will find your self smiling at thinking of returning home. Not expected from a carribean vacation!!!
Beautiful island
We had the beachfront (expensive) room ,I had requested 2 Queen beds. When we arrived in the room, it was a king bed. I called immediately and she said she would check for me. I had to call her back and she said none were available but she could move us the next day and would call in the morning. Didn't happen. The room was shabby and not well-maintained. Ants all over and shabby furnishings. The pool bartender and cook was rude and inattentive to the point of surliness to everyone. For the price, not worth it!
