Long Bay Beach Resort and Villas, Tortola

My husband & I just came back Aug. 21,2007. It was absolutely great! It was off season and we were treated like guests should be. Hotel staff was very accommodating. Our villa up on the cliff was nice with a beautiful view, but we asked for one down on the water after a few days, and they switched us. We went all inclusive. Food was excellent. Buffet breakfast was not available, but anything you wanted they would make you. Lunch, dinner and drinks were great. It is a very relaxing vacation. Only two nights of entertainment. The beach is beautiful - no coral if you walk to the left. Be sure to take a walk to Smuggler's Cove. Try to do tours to other islands. Ferry is available to all nearby. We've been to many Carribean Islands, and we truly enjoyed this one. We definitely rate this a ten!

Long Bay Resort was JUST what my husband and I were looking for in a honeymoon destination -- low-pressure, minimal activity, and no worries whatsoever. We were in a "cabana on the beach," and my only issue was that you could hear everything in the adjacent room -- we'd hoped the separate area would allow us a little leeway. It was a little sparse, but we didn't spend a lot of time in there. We were pleased with the service, and they were VERY good about waiting 'til we were out of the room (except for the once...). We opted for the all-inclusive food option, which we made full use of. The food was wonderful, the drinks were great and top-shelf, and it was so nice not having to think about the charge. There's not much to do, which was good for us. The massage was the only thing we paid for, and was generally overrated (the girl at the desk told me that a couple cost the same as one -- apparently so on a per-person basis), but I'd have left the resort wondering. We left the resort once on foot (we weren't that excited about other beaches b/c the one right there was so gorgeous) and there is NOTHING going on nearby. The steep hills wreaked havoc on my calves for several days, though, as a reminder. 4 nights was almost the perfect amount of inactive paradise for us, though. It was a lot of $$$, but I would do it all over again only a *little* longer.
