Little Dix Bay Hotel 12/28/2006
Reviewers Rating: Excellent
A driver from Little Dix Bay was waiting to pick us up at the ferry—this was very convenient. Coming into the resort I thought the grounds were really pretty and I liked seeing the boulders everywhere—it just gives the island a more exotic feel I think. Little Dix Bay was definitely the splurge of our trip. But it was SO worth it! We had visited the resort last year on a day trip and really wanted to return for a stay. We were on their summer rate which included a full breakfast. I had originally booked a Premium Oceanview Room. But I was looking at their site later and noticed that they had the Ocean Cottages for the same price, so we changed our reservation to that. These rooms are larger than the Premium Oceanview rooms, but also a little further from the beach. And when I say a little further, I mean only a few yards difference. We just had to go down a few steps, cross the lawn and we were at the beach! We were in room #109 which was towards the left side of the beach. We really liked the location. Far enough away from the pool and beach bar so we weren’t disturbed (we never even heard another guest when we were in our room), but close enough that we didn’t have to walk too far to get to the beach bar or taxi stand. It was a little bit of a walk to the watersports center, but definitely not what I would call a long walk (probably about 5 minutes). The room is large and hexagonally shaped. The bed was very comfortable and large. The room was nicely furnished in general. The free rum and coke on arrival is also a nice touch. The balcony is also large and even had a cushioned lounge chair. We had a view of the ocean and beach from the balcony. We never had any problems with the service here. In fact we thought it was great. Our room was spotless whenever we came back to it. We also enjoyed the breakfast buffet each morning that was included in our rate. My husband really enjoyed the smoothies, and I particularly liked the omelet station. They also had a wide variety of juices and breads each day and they were great. We only had dinner here once, but it was one of the best we had on Virgin Gorda. I also had pizza one night after a disappointing outside restaurant meal and it was very good. I do think that the food here is overpriced, but I expected it to be that way. And I can’t forget the strawberry daiquiris here—I got one each day and they were very good. The beach here is very pretty, and the beach service is a nice touch. We also liked how the chairs are quite comfortable with cushions. But there wasn’t much snorkeling here, so we did not spend a lot of time on this beach. Instead, we took advantage of the beach drops—which are complimentary. We found some wonderful snorkeling spots and secluded beaches on these drops. We took the ferry from Little Dix to the airport and were so glad we did this. We originally booked the North Sound Express but cancelled it. The LD ferry was much more convenient because we didn't have to do a thing. The staff took our luggage to the boat, loaded it into the taxi to the airport and even took them into the airport line.
