Reccs for inexpensive lodging in the BVI?

[ms3605]

Hi everyone,

I'm heading to the BVI in January '09 - I have a few days to kill before my boyfriend (a non-diver who has to fulfill a work commitment first) joins me, so I'm aiming to get my diving fix then.

I was thinking of heading for Virgin Gorda and using DiveBVI, but I'm currently not fixated on any specific location in the BVI.

Does anyone have any reputable but inexpensive lodging recommendations for a solo female traveler who doesn't need fancy digs? Your recommendations can talk me out of Virgin Gorda if you have a better idea.

Thanks for any pointers!

Post your inquiry on Traveltalkonline: Viewing forum: British Virgin Islands.

Should get lots of information.

Send me a PM. We can help you in finding a great spot to stay on VG.

You can muscle some pretty good deals out of local hotels at the moment - they are all really short of bookings and laying off staff, so you have some good leverage.

If you are going to Virgin Gorda, I'll defer to VGDiver. Personally if I was on vacation I'd probably stay on VG too, all else being equal. If you do decide to stay on Tortola, I'd probably check out the hotels at Hodge's Creek Marina and Nanny Cay; only because then you don't to fuss with taxis (which can be expensive) to get to a decent dive shop.

I don't know if you have made your arrangements yet, but I very highly recommend http://www.divebvi.com/ as well as the island of VG, one of our favorites in the entire Caribbean.

A couple of places to check for reasonable rates are: http://www.fischerscove.com/
and http://www.leverickbay.com/

I have a # of VG photo albums in the link below.

all the best, alashas http://honeymoon2.smugmug.com/
