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
i
Also worth requesting is Harbour House, which sits atop the hill, and is available with one or two bedrooms.
Jetsetter "Privately-owned castaway resort with private terraces, miles of nature trails, and a gourmet restaurant." Full review

DK Eyewitness "Bright colors complement white walls at this hotel, minutes by foot from Road Town’s shopping, restaurants, and nightlife. The beach is a 15-minute drive away."
Fodor's "Sitting near the water in busy Road Town, Maria's Hotel by the Sea is perfect for budget travelers who want to be near shops and restaurants but who don't need many frills." Full review
Frommer's "This 38-room inn in central Road Town is a favorite of folks doing business in Tortola; it’s close to the ferry and has little balconies that open right onto the harbor" Full review
Lonely Planet "Maria’s is on the harbor (no beach)... If you like watching the coming and going of charter yachts from a seaside pool and sundeck, this expansive three-story operation with 40 units may be for you." Full review
