Fort Recovery Beachfront Villa Hotel and Resort

Fort Recovery is one of the most historic sites in the British Virgin Islands, dating back to about 1620, and the British-built Martello Tower, one of the first of its kind, still forms a part of the modern day Fort Recovery Beachfront Villa Hotel and Resort.

Located on the more laid back and quieter western side of Tortola, the quality of the Fort Recovery Beachfront Hotel can be illustrated by the fact that it was chosen by the Discovery Travel Channel for a special Caribbean Showcase – unique amongst Tortola’s hotels – and also awarded the accolade of ‘Best Resort’ in the Captain’s Guide Magazine.

So, what goes to help make Fort Recovery Hotel so special?

Well, firstly, there is the fact that the hotel is still in the hands of the same owners who originally developed it – giving it a warm and personal feeling far removed from many hotels swallowed up by chains.

Then, of course, there is the quality and variety of the types of accommodation available for guests.  There are 1,2,3 and 4 bedroom villas available here – and even one villa with no fewer than 8 bedrooms.  All of these villas include cable television, complimentary wireless internet, air conditioning and have individually furnished and decorated kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms.  All come with their own balcony – and with vistas that cry out for you to fetch your camera.  If you choose a beachside villa, you will have a decking area just a few feet away from the ocean.  There is, of course, a daily housekeeping service.

Fort Recovery is also renowned for the quality of the cuisine served in its own private restaurant, exclusive for guests, where the diverse and tantalizing menu will make sure that your taste buds are satisfied throughout your stay.  Breakfasts too can be a delight here – the blueberry pancakes are justifiably much sought after!

The small, private sandy beach is excellent for swimming, snorkeling, shelling, kayaking – or for just lounging on a beach chair and catching up with your reading.  It is also very child-friendly.  In addition, there’s a small reef down the shoreline, providing you with an opportunity for a beautiful view of the coral and fish in the idyllic waters.

Fort Recovery Activities

There are other activities available for the more active vacationer at this villa resort.  For example, as well as the freshwater swimming pool, there is a Fitness Center/Spa, an on-site yacht with its own captain available for charter, yoga classes at sunset out on the deck and many other activities which can be discussed with the friendly, approachable staff – many of whom have been working here for years and help transmit their love of Fort Recovery.

If you are searching for a smaller, non-chain resort, but also looking for the highest standards of personalized treatment, then the Fort Recovery Beachfront Villa Hotel and Resort exactly matches your requirements.  Children are welcome here, with special rates for those under 12 years old, and there are some rooms specially fitted for people with physical disabilities.

You will quickly come to understand exactly why the Fort Recovery Hotel has earned the plaudits that have come its way.
