2-Star Hotels in Tortola, British Virgin Islands

The Tides is a 3 story condominium building on the beach at Little Apple Bay comprising High Tide (www.vrbo.com/3274934), Spring Tide (www.vrbo.com/3713149), and Apple Tide (www.vrbo.com/3712956).This listing is for Spring Tide on the middle floor.Each condo is 2 bed/2bath with a full kitchen, and a large outside terrace with gas bbq/grill and has outside seating and a large dining table. High Tide is the top floor. Spring Tide is the middle floor. Both have large terraces with an outside sitting area and a large dining table.Apple Tide is on the ground floor - it has the same (slightly larger) terrace as High Tide & Spring Tide, but also has a private (but not secluded) raised beach area and a sun deck right above the sea. The quoted rate is for two person occupancy, and there is a modest surcharge for a third and fourth person. Given that the condos are often rented by two persons this seemed a better way to deal with the rate because VRBO does not allow both a two person, and a four person rate to be quoted.You will be delighted by the stunning sea views from the terraces - which are less than 10 feet from the water. You can see out to Jost Van Dyke and along the North Shore of Tortola, and watch the surfers and the sea life. The location is perfect for surfers as the Apple Bay reef provides good surfing - in particular from November to April when the northern swells roll in. All year round swimming is beautiful at Smugglers Cove, and, depending on the sea conditions, you can swim with the surfers at Little Apple Bay and Apple Bay. Surf board hire can be arranged with www.bviwatertoys.com who are in Sopers Hole. The coast line is relatively flat - ideal for walking and discovering Long Bay, Smugglers Cove and the North Shore. There are several restaurants and bars within 15 minutes walking distance. Try Sebastian’s (2 mins), Tropical Fusion (15 mins walk over a short but steepish hill), Long Bay Hotel (15 mins walk over the same short but steepish hill) and the two restaurants at the Sugar Mill (10 mins along the flat coast). A little further past the Sugar Mill and with fabulous views is D'Coal Pot. The restaurants in Cane Garden Bay, West End, and Road Town are all relatively short drives/taxis away.You may want to rent a car for at least some of your stay so you can explore the rest of Tortola - small/medium jeeps are ideal and readily available .There is dedicated on-site parking for each condo. Don't forget your driving licence and a credit card (credit cards are preferred for car rental - debits cards are taken virtually everywhere else).

Cane Garden Bay (best avoided on days when there is a cruise ship in Road Town) is a 15 minute drive away. If you do go to Cane Garden bay when a cruise ship is in then head to the quieter end of the beach and Indigo Beach House (closed Mondays ). Bananakeet Cafe and Stoutts lookout 8 mins away on the way to Cane Garden Bay, are beautiful spots to have a cocktail and watch the sun go down.

There are day sailing and motorboat trips, deep sea fishing trips, and scuba/snorkel dive trips available.Fishing on island isn’t straightforward and requires a permit. https://www.laststopsports.com/Fishing_License_Permit_Tortola_BVI.htm will help you with that .

You can easily get a taxi to the apartments, or meet one of the local rental car firms based in West End who will take you to their office nearby , sort out the paperwork and you can drive the 10 minute easy journey to The Tides.If you arrive at Road Town Port or Beef Island Airport you can get a taxi, or arrange with a rental car company to meet you at the port/airport and pick your car up. Depending on which rental company and length of rental you may need to pay a pick up and drop off fee at the airport.We suggest pre- booking your departure ferry to St Thomas (if you leave via that route) as the ferries seem to have become quite busyRemember, we drive on the left hand side in the BVI.The south shore from Beef Island to West End is pretty flat - pretty much the only flat road in the BVI. You need to go over Zion Hill to get to The Tides on the north shore. The rest of the north shore roads are much more hilly with some good bends and steep hills but concrete or tarmac surfaces.Several of the beaches, including Smugglers Cove, have hard packed gravel access roads so a 4 wheel drive car will make your driving more enjoyable - the height off the road is often more important that the 4 wheel drive.Both Road Town Port and Beef Island Airport have taxi stands. Hotels and restaurants will call you a taxi. Be mindful that in this part of the world the taxi fare is often per person and can be quite expensive, and they take cash not credit/debit cards. If you like a particular taxi driver, take his card and he will almost certainly be happy to pick you up again. The taxi drivers often tell great stories about the BVI - your task is to distinguish between the truth and the entertaining fiction.West End based Car Rental Jerrys Car Rental (jerryscarrentalbvi.com )Denzil Clyne Jeep Rentals (dcrentalbvi.com )Sopers Hole Car Rental ( sopersholecarrentals.com)Road Town based car rentalEsme's Car Rentals (esmerentals9@gmail.com) - directly opposite the port.Aaron's Car Rental - a ten minute walk from the port, but they will pick you up at the portMaria's by the Sea Car Rental - a five minute walk, but they will also pick up you up at the port.
