Top Hotels Near Bubbly Pool in Jost Van Dyke from AU$137

"The rooms are lovely; each with views of the beautiful Cane Garden Bay. The hotel is situated on one end of the post card worthy beach with crystal clear water. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Indeed, I have been all over the West Indies and have never encountered more uniformly friendly residents than in this chain of aptly named Virgin Islands. Tortola is retro-Caribbean, and I mean that in the most positive sense. There was only one cruise ship in port for a day the week we stayed, and we avoided the hordes by driving to Smugglers Cove, an even more impossibly beautiful and remote beach, accessible only with 4 wheel drive-so no tourist vans could reach it. This is not for everyone. If your idea of a Caribbean getaway tends towards mass tourism destinations such as Aruba, the DR, or the Dutch side of St Maarten, then Tortola probably wouldn’t be your cup of tea. Oh, and since the BVI are obviously British, they do drive on the left side, which can be quite the adventure on the winding hilltop roads."

"I arrived on Tortola with my three teenage children (husband couldn't come) just as Hurricane Erin looked like it was headed directly for the island. It was quite an adventure! Jonathan, the host, felt immediately like family and his primary concern was for our safety and floated the possibility that he would move us to a space that wasn't so high up in the mountains and exposed to the elements. We didn't end up having to do that, but it was nice to know that was an option in case it was needed. Jonathan was calm but also let us know that this could be treacherous. Jonathan & co came and boarded up all the windows and doors and we spent 2 days in the house like that. Sounds not so great, but my kids and I made the best of it cooking, watching movies coloring and playing cards. Once the storm passed and the clouds cleared we could finally see how special the house and the location were. All the reviews say the same thing, but the views are simply stunning and the infinite pool was exquisite. We spent hours in that pool. We enjoyed the local restaurants and just driving around the island in our Jeep was an adventure in itself. We took a day trip to Virgin Gorda and the Baths-should not be missed, and also chartered a boat to take us to the best snorkling spots in the area. Swimming with sea turles was a highlight. The local, private beach was our favoriWe have stayed in MANY beautiful VRBO homes, but we all agreed that Jonathan's house was at the top of that list. "

"Wonderful staff, concierge, and owners, who made us feel so at home, welcomed and cared for from the beginning until our departure! Photos cannot capture the spatial depth of beauty of Gestalt Villa! We hosted several meals for our extended family, 12 persons in all, and there was space for all at table and social spaces and pool made the a joy! Some of our family spent the week on a Moorings bareboat 4200, and being so close to Sopers Hole in the West End of Tortola made the shared experience of sailing and having a villa such a joy! Every request was responded to promptly. Wonderful in every way! "
