Cane Garden Bay is the most lovely of all the bays on Tortola. It's shoreline has black, smooth stones strewed around. The water is crystal clear & the snorkleling is good. More

Cane Garden Bay evokes nothing but wonderful memories. During the day you can go to the beach, with the sea so clear you can see your toes (no matter how tall you are). Relax in the sun, sip a tropical cocktail, go for a kayak ride or hike your way to the rainforest. Don't miss happy hour and the spectacular... More

It was a bit trashy and the hotels looked a bit run down. More

We went here on a recommendation and were glad we did. This was a very calm beach, the chairs and umbrellas were inexpensive, and you shared the beach with sealife (we saw a sting ray within 10 feet of us while swimming.) The down side was the staff trying to sell us beer at 9 AM. It is about a... More

Was the busiest beach on the island when we were there which meant about 20 people. Nice change of pace with a couple of places to eat and drink. Not great for snorkeling if that's what you're looking for. More

Post card perect. But when cruise ships are in Road Town it becomes a wall to wall zoo with cruise ship tourists. Myetts is great for food and music at the bar and the best happy hour on Tortola. The food is fabulous and all the price are reasonable for drinks and food. Myetts rooms are very nice except for... More

We stopped for breakfast and some shopping while cruising the BVI's. Friends of ours got married here three years ago and it was their anniversary. Great food and beautiful beach. More

Simply my favorite place on Earth. I always stay up on Johnny Hill. I love Myett's & Quito's for lunch/dinner/happy hour/you name it! Always fun. Things may have changed in CGB over the years, perhaps for the worse, but I still love it there. There used to be zero crime there. It's kind of sad to see some bad elements... More
