The Moorings Mariner Inn Hotel is a 40-room mid-range hotel almost exclusively patronized by travelers chartering yachts around the BVIs. It’s a decent place to stay for one or two nights, but it’s not the type of hotel that accommodates weeklong vacationers. Two on-site restaurants, a mid-size pool, and provisioning services make the Moorings a decent pre- or post-charter pick, but decor and amenities vary greatly between rooms, and many guests complain of temperature control in the showers. There really aren’t any other hotels like the Moorings on Tortola, but the nearby Fort Burt Hotel tends to have cheaper nightly rates, and is popular with travelers going on cruises.

Situated on Tortola’s northwest shore, among funky hotels and surf shacks, Sebastian’s on the Beach offers two-and-a-half-pearl, waterfront accommodations in a pleasant, but dated, package. There aren't too many amenities here: a casual a la carte restaurant and bar, a mini-market, and a small beach with lovely views of Belmont Point are the hotel's greatest assets. The 26 rooms are bright, but outdated, with free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, microwaves, and air-conditioning. Upgraded rooms feature wet bars and sea-view balconies. Unfortunately, the lack of a pool, relatively few nearby attractions, and limited usable beach space at high tide might leave some guests wanting more.

Once a Dutch fortress used to protect Road Town’s inner harbor, Fort Burt Hotel is now a budget-friendly property with 17 guest rooms. Within walking distance of Road Town shops and restaurants, and within a short drive of Tortola’s cruise ship pier, the hotel is popular with pre- and post-cruisers. Fort Burt offers everything one might need for a quick stay — clean rooms, an on-site restaurant, free Wi-Fi, and a pool — but this no-frills hotel isn’t a place for vacationers looking for a relaxing beachfront property. Those in search of something directly on the sand in this price range should check out Long Bay Beach Club.

This hotel sustained damage during Hurricane Irma in September 2017, but is currently open and operating. Travelers should note that Tortola was significantly impacted by the storm. We will update our review as soon as we have more information. Fort Recovery Beachfront Villa & Suites is a 30-room upscale hotel on Tortola’s west end. The hotel’s one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments are tastefully decorated with beachy decor. Amenities include a small pool and beachfront, a casual restaurant, and a small spa and fitness center. There isn’t much to see or do in the immediate area, and the hotel’s atmosphere tends to be quiet — a little too quiet for some. Guests looking for a similar property with a bit more to do in the surrounding neighborhood might prefer Agape Cottages in Cane Garden Bay, though it has fewer on-site amenities.
