PORT ROYAL

Close? There was a new venue just mentioned, it looks good…. Take a view - Make a booking - Then post a review on CC - https://www.thbeachclub.com Other venues are available, but involve a $20/50 cab ride away, but worth it. On the same (St James) beach as Treehouse are some basic bar/bed/umbrella places with facilities. With regard to prices, there are $10/20 basic venues on St James, but on the island are venues with no upper limits. But one pays the money and makes the choice.

OMG!….. The video makes the place, ambience, food, beach etc., look worse than one experienced (once only)…. So glad one takes Cap Maison when selecting an AI. Thank you for posting……

To assist… Good luck Silver Moon - https://silvermoonbarbados.com Elegance - https://www.elegancebarbados.com Calypso - https://calypsocruisesbarbados.com

Acknowledge the invitation on Antigua to post on this thread for Tortola. One has stated many times that the beach experience is to be found on Brewer,’s. With regard to tours, could you state interests, wish to see, etc., because then one, plus CC, can assist. There is so much to see/do, so it’s best to prioritise one’s bucket. Also, one invites @blue_water to join (and follow) these exchanges, as they appear to have a finger on the pulse of all that’s good and currently happening in BVI

One is very kind….. What goes around….

Not only will one have a great tour, you’ll also find Lawrence is a very generous host when is comes to “refreshments” provided during the tour. Enjoy…. A gratuity to the guide will be unexpected and greatly appreciated.

US Dollars are most acceptable………. Cash is king

Plywood update Thank you so much for this valuable update…. Will now make others aware of the poor state of Plywood, so they make the right and informed choice.

This is a set of diverse and complex requests. Therefore, one suggest a cut/copies to the contact us page of the SJ Tourism Office Link - https://cupeles.com/contact/ Where exchanges can be promptly made for each current and subsequent questions. Know one will be successful

Take a cab - About $70/80 per cab each way plus tip. Never visited, never tasted any of their expressions. Without a good tasting, no interest in a visit. There should be reviews on TripAdvisor. If considering a Distillery visit and wanting a scenic visit and a clean/sanitised tour, then Depaz or Clement on Martinique (both good Rhum). But for a real experience with steam driven leviathans, with Rhum made and bottled by hand, then La Favourite is a must. Their Rhums are superb, especially La Filbuste. La Favourite tastings are noted because all Rhum is there, with the shop prices equal to and sometimes lower than Duty Free at Port. Port Retailers are there to make a profit.

There’s Trigo (a good rum), but a cab ride outside SJ, but not sure if they do tours. Best to contact direct for availability and price. This distillery has tours and tastings - https://sanjuanartisandistillers.com But never tried any of their expressions.

Is the request for recommendations for a Rum Bar? One’s preference is The Mezzanine, which has a diverse selection at all price points. They have a happy hour (?) for 4 hours from 4 pm. Their Tapas and small plates food is good. Great OSJ atmosphere. But there are many Bars all over OSJ… No doubt CC will give alternatives for consideration.

It is globally acknowledged that seaweed occurs because of adverse weather conditions and tidal surges out at sea. Weather and tides in the Caribbean cannot be precisely predicted, nothing today, seaweed tomorrow. Best to book one’s beach day in advance, then just go with the flow and enjoy.

For a private tour, work on $500/600.00 for the vehicle, which can accommodate six.

A screenshot from Website….

Taxi there to Cul-de-Sac (pier on Orient Beach) and back…. Outward driver will be happy to be time booked for the return from the pier at Cul-de-Sac to port. If not wishing to be time banded, there will be plenty of taxis available (waiting) at Cul-de-Sac for the drive back to port.

No water taxi.. Take a Cab… The Cab controller’s kiosk is inside the covered cruise terminal. The fares are government controlled and published at the kiosk. Work on about $20 per cab each way plus tip. Outward driver will be pleased to be booked for one’s timed return and will arrive early to put one’s mind at rest. Don’t forget Ponchos

Plenty of street food places and shacks in/around the town. Also, Rum Shops.

Just phoned a Bajan friend, he said SM is a beautiful 60ft dream machine….Hence XL = Extra Large

Think it’s sailing on a larger yacht, with more space/comfort. With regard eats, the food is always the same high quality, with XL having a slightly larger choice of premium drinks - All drinks are premium across all sailings.
