Concierge "Guana is the closest you'll get to a private island without a five-figures-a-day tab: Think a maximum of 36 guests spread over seven beaches."
Fodor's "Here's a good resort if you want to stroll the hillsides, snorkel around the reefs, swim at its seven beaches, and still enjoy some degree of comfort." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A mere 30 guests share 850 acres at this remote retreat off Tortola’s north coast. There are seven lovely beaches scattered around the island."
Star Service "Guests seeking a private island resort who don't want to shell out for Richard Branson's Necker Island might want to consider this private 850-acre island close off the north shore of Tortola." Full review

Also worth requesting is Harbour House, which sits atop the hill, and is available with one or two bedrooms.

Fodor's "Sailing's the thing at this busy hotel and marina in the nautically inclined North Sound, and the use of everything from small sailboats to kayaks to windsurfers is included in the price." Full review
