In the Spotlight: Bitter End Yacht Club, Virgin Gorda
The Bitter End Yacht Club, snuggled into a steep hill on the scenic North Sound, is a relaxed, family-friendly resort. The tech-free rooms (no TVs or Wi-Fi here) feature stunning views from the balconies, and the sliding doors allows breezes to sweep through; some rooms do not have air-conditioning but most guests find they don't miss it. Rooms are simple but feel up-to-date with bright comforters, sleek bathrooms, and comfy lounge chairs. The white-sand beaches at the hotel may be narrow, but they are still the highlight here, offering plenty of water sports. Families will likely enjoy the calm waters, the small kids' club, and the outdoor movie theater, while couples can enjoy the gorgeous views and the solid restaurant options. Those looking for a more luxurious stay may want to consider the Biras Creek Resort, but the Bitter End is a great choice for those looking for a more laid-back option with an authentic island vibe.
