I loved this quaint yet elegant hotel. The use of a fort to provide the best vistas of Road Town, F. Drake Channel and the south islands goes back to navy and pirate strategies of protection from all angles. I love that view! Choose to return after our sailing trip and the both nights were great. The Cooking School is a great idea. I'm always up for creative fare. Am planning a night there this year too. Not sure if it is a Total Vacation hotel but for the sailor and a pre/post trip, it is my pick.

Stayed here before catching a flight home to the UK so it served a function but was not somewhere that I would choose to spend a prolonged amount of time.

When you arrive (make sure you get the taxi to take you right up the huge hill) your bags are driven to your room by a grumpy man in a car with a smashed in back window. He became much less grumpy when I gave him a tip though!

The room was clean and pleasant enough with a nice view. Our friends stayed there a week before and had a first floor room which was much much nicer than ours which was on the ground floor.

We went to the bar at cocktail hour for a drink but the barman didn't know how to make any cocktails. He seemed to improvise ok though.

The food at Fort Burt is what you go for, not a very varied menu but the food is great and beautifully presented.

Overall, not great for a long stay, but ok if you want a nice meal and a reasonable room.

It's cheap, we paid $99, but it's a terrible hotel by any measure. In a state of disrepair, unclean and indifferent. Be prepared to climb a bunch of stairs whenever you go. Thank goodness we only had to sleep there, but our 10 hours felt a lot longer.

We stayed at the Ft. Burt Hotel in March, 2004 after a Moorings bareboat charter. Our room was immaculate and had a great view. We paid about $100/night. When we wanted lunch in the restaurant, they had a buffet only. When the staff found that we just wanted sandwiches, they happily provided these at a reasonable price. The price one pays for the views at this hotel is having to climb stairs. I counted 56 to our room, but the value, view, and friendliness was worth it. We'd definitely stay there again.
