Sebastian's On The Beach

“Beach day pass not needed here!”

Such a great experience at this laid-back out of the way beach Hotel in the West End of Tortola at Little Apple Bay. When I contacted them to inquire about a day pass while we were visiting from our cruise ship, the staff told us that we were welcome to come and enjoy the facilities, bring a beach towel, and perhaps visit their restaurant or bar. That’s exactly what we did, and we had an absolutely great day. The bar was comfortable, and affordable. Afterwards, we lounged on the beach chairs under an umbrella. The surf is wild, and we saw no swimmers, but many talented surfers. The beach immediately at the hotel is rocky, but Sandy Beach is nearby. The staff was lovely. They offered beachfront rooms, a few feet from the waves. Altogether a lovely experience. The taxi ride is $12 a person if you’re in a group, and $35 for a private ride. The hotel staff will call the taxi for you if you’d like. Perfect day in Tortola!

“Cute boutique hotel - clean rooms,but some amenities lacking.”

The hotel staff is absolutely lovely. The rooms have all you need and you can select to skip maid service, if you want. They walk you to your room, show you how to operate the lights, ac and tv. Plenty of hot water in the showers and coffee in the room. Walk over to the lobby to get fresh beach… lisää

The hotel staff is absolutely lovely. The rooms have all you need and you can select to skip maid service, if you want. They walk you to your room, show you how to operate the lights, ac and tv. Plenty of hot water in the showers and coffee in the room. Walk over to the lobby to get fresh beach towels daily. You will see surfers outside from dawn to dusk. Theyre incredible to watch! The colors of the water are unimaginable. Smuggler’s Cove is a 1.5 mile walk. Only walk this if you are decently in shape. The locals call them “hills”…do not be fooled that they are the same gently rolling hills of the plains in the U.S. No no-they are steep, walk on your tippy toes to ascend and pray your shoes have traction for the descend. You will work up a sweat and be rewarded with a splash at a gorgeous beach. Smuggler’s has 2 beach bars: Nigel’s and Patricia’s. Nothing but great drinks and food - remember —> cash! Some things I wish we knew: •The restaurant (Nardie’s) has music. Every. Night. Until 10pm. Two nights a week there is bingo. If your room is remotely close to the restaurant, the volume of the tv will not go high enough to drown out the noise. Same as mornings when staff arrives to start their day. •The pictures on the website are outdated. There is zero white pristine sand. It is rocks. Big. Rocks. Do they have lounge chairs, sitting in sand, up on a retaining wall? Yes. But if you’re hoping to walk out the door and into the ocean, this isn’t it. Stay at Rhymer’s or Long Bay. •The gift shop is also not as pictured. There are hats, shirts, a drink cooler & some basic groceries. If you need anything more significant, you’ll need to head to Road Town & stop at Bobby’s Market. You can also find souvenir shopping across the street from Bobby’s at Banana’s Bar & Grill. There are 2 shops. •The hotel shop has a minimum $10 for any card tx’s. •If you don’t rent a car, plan to spend $20-$30 one way on a taxi. •If you didn’t come with cash - get it at Red Hook Ferry before you come to Tortola! All beach bars & taxis are cash only!
