It was ok but I was the only person there and frankly I was made to feel like an inconvenience. The view is great and the film worth watching if only to understand what the islanders still face....

I would recommend visiting the MVO, you must watch the video about the volcano, gives you an idea of what Montserrat and Plymouth was like before the eruption and is well worth the little money it costs to watch the DVD.
