This is a neat little museum with lots of royal family memorabilia. The stamp collection is no longer there (was moved elsewhere for safety after hurricane). There is also a lovely garden area you can tour. The museum is an easy walk from the Port of Tortola. Admission currently is $5. The museum is across the street from a park. I very much enjoyed our visit.

Tortola sign photo op! We saw butterflies and chickens too! Small walking park on the water with bathrooms
George Collins — Google review
Since we had to wait a while for our excursion, we decided to explore a bit and go check out this park. However I apart from the Tortola sign, the park seems a abandoned and not well kept. There is construction going on nearby, so the access to the park is awful, and the park itself doesn't have any interest. That's a shame...

Like the park, especially for an early morning jog or just to relax and watch the morning sun or sunset

The Queen Elizabeth II Park has a light green scenery, and it seems to have a very unique and highly decorated sign filled with the traditional history and arts of the British Virgin Islands, the park itself is close to shore and it has a few trees in the main park. There are only a few shelters that can prevent persons from being wet in the rain, and that is where they can like take pictures of themselves. (specifically like selfies) The next part of the park has it's own playground. I have never been to that area, but it seems to look charming and filled with enough joy to make kids under 7 years old have fun without any consequences. These are my pictures with myself and my classmates and teachers. I will rate this park an 8.4/10

Very nice park area with reasonably maintained bathrooms, a great playground area and a picturesque view of your cruise ship and the boats in Road Harbour. Covered areas to get some shade and lots of room to run for those with energy to burn! About a 15-20 minute 1 km walk westward along Waterfront Drive at the pace of an 6 year old!

Cyril B. Romney Tortola Pier Park is a serene park renowned for its picturesque bay views and proximity to local boutiques and eateries. It offers an ideal location for families with numerous stores and souvenir shops available on the island, although it can get quite crowded during peak tourist season when cruise ships are docked. The park features an ATM, while the surrounding area boasts several friendly locals who are always ready to offer assistance or recommendations.
This island is really amazing!! You must visit it. You won't regret it. 200 % recommended.

Good place for a quick look around. At the end there was a road with taxi vans. Prices ranged from 8 to 16 per person each way, depending where you wanted to go. Our driver never came back to get us at the appointed time. Luckily another van was there for some other people. So we made it back to the cruise ship.

The J.R. O'Neal Botanic Gardens, situated in the heart of Road Town on Tortola Island, is a picturesque oasis that boasts a diverse collection of tropical flora. It includes a greenhouse dedicated to orchids and features an alluring lily pond surrounded by scenic pergolas. The garden pathways wind through a mini rainforest with several ponds and waterfalls accentuated by exotic indigenous plants.
We visited this Botanical Garden from a stop from our cruise line. The garden is situated a few blocks in land from the sea port. It was beautifully kept, serene and very peaceful. It was nice just to sit down and enjoy the calmness among the trees and greenery. There was also live chickens near the back of the park.

This was a relatively short walk from the cruise port (maybe 20 minutes). Admission was $3 per adult when we went. It was a nice place to walk around and enjoy the beautiful plants. NOTE: The walking directions Google Maps provided at the time I was planning this trip indicated a different route than what you actually have to take. When I looked at the walking route from the port, it indicated I should continue past the police station on Pickenin Road. The entrance is actually on Station Avenue (left turn before you pass the police station). There is a sign at the corner of Pickenin and Station Avenue (see photos) to point you in the right direction.

A delightful small garden and a quiet oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Road Town. The gardens are well maintained with good paths. We saw many exotic species endemic to the British Virgin Islands as well as from elsewhere. Well worth a visit and we would definitely like to go back one day.

Patti Perkins — Google review
Very nice, small 4 acre botanical garden. It is still recovering from Hurricane Irma as of December 2022, so there is some damage still evident. The small space is filled with lush, reasonably well maintained tropical vegetation which could use some signage to aid in identification (thank goodness for Google Lens). It was a delightful, short interlude while on a cruise stop. The garden is about 2 km from the cruise terminal, taking 20 minutes to walk. Some streets along the walk lacked sidewalks, so there was some, unavoidable exposure to traffic traveling on the left side of the road. Google maps sent us to the wrong (uphill) side of the park where there is no entrance. Admission cost $3 for non residents.
George Hesselbacher — Google review
Great place to visit! The labels on the plants are not all there but well worth the price to walk around and look at the pretty things. If you're visiting from the cruise port it's about a mile walk, mostly flat and mostly on side walks.
Jill Shaul — Google review
This is a lovely garden in the center of Road Town. Dozens and dozens of beautiful flowers and trees. Many were identified by signage, but unfortunately most were not. There were plenty of benches and also a number of large shady trellises to get out of the sun for a bit. Chickens and roosters wandered around, but a pleasant surprise was seeing maybe 20 turtles in, and around, a pond of lily pads.

Hotel
Fort Burt Hotel is a cozy hotel that offers comfortable rooms and suites, some of which feature balconies with breathtaking views of the sea or mountains. The hotel also boasts an outdoor pool, a restaurant/bar, and free WiFi for its guests to enjoy. Located just over a mile from Cruise Ship Pier and 1.5 miles from JR ONeal Botanical Garden, the hotel provides easy access to nearby attractions.
We're here for 5 days. Last night was our first night, and I enjoyed my sleep. The hotel and rooms are a little dated, but they add character, in my opinion. I love that on the balcony, you can overlook the water. I woke up and got a glimpse of the sunrise. It was so peaceful while observing the still boats. There's lots to see and eat around you. We drove to a restaurant last night but could have easily walked there. I would definitely recommend this hotel. I even went into the shower without shoes because, visually, it looked clean. We even was able to park right outside our rooms area. Please note that this hotel is on a hill. I am a mess when we enter and exit, but my husband is such a skillful driver. Give them a try!!! (RENTAL COMPANY INSIDE MARIA IN CASE YOU HAVE ONE BOOKED.) ...... Updated my reviews to add the parking lot area located adjacent to the main checkin area. The pool was wonderful. We did see a lot of roaches playing on the wall but it doesn't ruin our stay so far.

I repeat do not come here!!!

At the moment this is a no frills 2, maybe 3 star hotel. The hurricanes seem to have done quite a lot of damage, so many of the rooms are still in need of repair. Our room was clean and pretty large. There was a balcony that overlooked the marina which was nice. Check-in took about 30 mins.. television and WiFi worked in my room but not in my parents. There is small breakfast available. No room service. One major issue we had was that the air conditioners were filthy. They had mildew inside the fins. This really needs to be taken care off immediately.

Expensive but no substance. Asked not to be disturbed by housekeeping on a morning but they knocked and continued banging regardless. On another day, requested a clean but this was ignored. Several times inquired about local transport but only ever offered a Taxi (If I'd have wanted a taxi, I'd have used this word - I used the word bus). Overall, I've paid less for more luxury and service elsewhere so wouldn't recommend.

Great service, nice location, but on a steep hill if you plan to walk. Great views of the bay and a convenient supermarket is nearby, as well as The Circle Cafe, which has great food. Other than that, the rooms are really old, the hotel itself needs a serious face-lift and looks like it's been neglected for years.

We stayed for two nights after our boat trip this past week. Amazing that the hotel is up and running after seeing the damage to the area. Anyone complaining about the helps attitude should be ashamed. If they knew that the lady running the kitchen by herself had to walk 45 minutes each way and buy and carry the food cooked in the kitchen perhaps they would understand the situation better. The same lady also lost all her belongings including her bed. She is sleeping on her floor. You can bet she would love to stay in that room some are complaining about. We will definitely stay there again in the future. Views are spectacular.

The wait staff were horrible and served the food cold. When I complained about my food being cold they gave me an attitude because I did not want my food cold. The other hotel staff were just as rude and seemed like they were bothered to do their job. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Worst choice that I made to stay hotel wise.

I simply can't say enough about this place!!! It was spectacular!!! We stayed in one of the rooms with a private pool. I was worried about the condition that the pool might be in, but as soon as we got there all my worries were put to rest!! The pool was very clean and looked right out over the harbour. Unbelievable views while in the pool!!! The staff was excellent!! Whatever we needed we got right away. They were attentive and very courtious. They helped us with where to go, and not go. The owner actually came by the room and asked if everything was acceptable and thanked us for staying with him.... That just doesn't happen anymore!! I highly recommend this hotel and the extra cost for the pool room IS WORTH IT!!!! We will be back as soon as possible.

The garlic herb cheese bread comes highly recommended. While the food may take some time to be served, the stunning sunset view makes it worth the wait. The menu includes dishes like jerk pork tenderloin and beef churrasco, as well as delightful desserts like passion fruit cheesecake.

We didn’t have a reservation but the place was only 25% full. No problem right? Nope!

The food however was quite good and the salads were excellent, hence a 3 rating. Fantastic views!

Best dinner spot on the island. Make sure to get here 30min or so before sunset because you will have a perfect view of it over the horizon. The food was also excellent we had everything from fish to lamb & chicken to pasta and it was all delicious. The garlic herb cheese bread is a must get! The only thing to note is the food does take a while to come out so keep that in mind, don't come too hungry.

Excellent food. Service was amazing. Just walked in for dinner on a Friday night and had to wait for a bit before being seated. But a drink at the bar and dinner was worth the 15 minute wait. Got the scallops appetizer and the red snapper (pictured) Both were phenomenal! The key lime martini was great for a dessert as well (pictured)

Pretty solid upscale food. The flavors, compositions, and presentation were top notch. The beef tenderloin could be juicier, even though I ordered it rare. The sticky toffee pudding was okay, a bit dry as well. The staff was friendly and attentive earlier in the evening, but as other tables started arriving, the service became pretty slow and eventually they literally forgot to come collect payment after bringing me my check. That isn't surprising on the islands, but a bit surprising for a restaurant in this price range.

We had a lovely evening at the Dove earlier this week. Service and food were both fantastic, with a good-sized and thoughtful wine list. We tried a few apps, entrees, and desserts and each one was delicious and well-presented. Everyone we came in contact with was lovely, particularly Tomas, who helped guide us through the food and wine menus. We also had lunch there a different day and had a similar experience, though it wasn’t as much a fine-dining experience. Couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough if you find yourself in Road Town for lunch or dinner.

If this restaurant ever sets a maximum number on parties, we’re definitely the reason why lol we brought 26 yacht crew in for dinner to celebrate birthdays, and the staff was so accommodating and kind. Ben, the restaurant manager, was so calm and provided extra tables and chairs when our party unexpectedly grew. They had another large group in at the same time, but they managed orders and kept the drinks flowing. At the end of the night they didn’t rush us out, and they were so helpful for the cakes that we brought in to celebrate with our giant party. They were able to maintain the restroom and the restaurants cleanliness and handle our large group with ease. We enjoyed our time so much and enjoyed the fact that we could bring our group to a nice place and feel like we had a fancy dinner, but still be able to socialize and mingle. I’m sure we were in their way a little and definitely super loud, but they were just truly amazing and kept great attitudes the whole time. Even if you’re just going for a date night, the atmosphere, and the staff make it a really fun place to be.

4. Great little spot in Tortola- warm and intimate vibe. The menu is not huge, but has a lot of classic dishes- salmon, chicken, beef, etc. Our waiter Rahim was super nice and thoughtful. The drinks were creative, unfortunately, they were out of some of the syrups and liqueurs. They brought an amuse-bouche before the apps- and some bread with olive oil and vinegar. The tomato soup was okay (very tomato sauce-like) the mains were beautifully presented and the portions were large. The waiter was thoughtful about accommodations and brought a dish with just sides as requested. The chicken was a favourite!

We had the most amazing meal of the week tonight at Dove. Every single thing we ordered we would go back and order again and again The cocktails are really some of the very best I’ve ever had. We had several kinds. The Haka, The Peaky Blinders, and my personal favorite the Japanese Garden. For dinner we had the soup, the ahi tuna appetizer, The duck breast and the salmon. The duck breast was the best I’ve ever tasted. The atmosphere is a delight. It’s perfect for sitting with friends and taking your time to eat a long and amazing meal. The staff is second to none in terms of talent, attention to detail, and kindness. They made the evening perfect for us. it’s an 5 star dining experience.

Nestled in the serene Carrot Bay, D'CoalPot BVI Restaurant Bar & Grill stands out with its vibrant orange and turquoise exterior.

This beloved spot is cherished by both tourists and locals for its delectable Caribbean cuisine, particularly fresh local fish. The restaurant operates from late afternoon until evening on weekdays and opens earlier on weekends.
MJ and Patrick, both servers as well as bartenders, are wonderful! Food is excellent. Local Indian dish Fish Roti! Roti is a meat, potato and curry sauce in a chickpea flour wrap. Like a burrito. It's a wonderful local dish and customer can choose the meat such as beef, fish, chicken. The restaurant also serves fresh caught lobster, wahoo... Had the wahoo two nights ago. Blackened and perfectly prepared. Great salad and rum raisin cheesecake is amazing! Service is outstanding. Beautiful sunset!

I visited this restaurant to have dinner on my 60th birthday - February 25. I used WhatsApp to make my reservations and make my meal selection. I specifically asked that my reservation be confirmed. When I arrived at the restaurant yesterday I was told that they had no reservation for me. Anyway we went ahead and made our order. I ordered garlic mussels and coconut shrimp for appetizers. The wait time wasn't bad. My husband and I had time to enjoy the surroundings and chat a bit. The setting at the restaurant was homely and cozy just perfect for my celebration. We were even able to enjoy the sunset. The garlic mussels were great. It's the first time I had these. The coconut shrimp were super delicious😋. There were served with a mango salsa which I think wasn't necessary. For the main course we ordered black Angus NY steak and conch in lemon butter sauce. The steak was served with vegetables and fried plantains and the conch - vegetables, mashed potatoes and fried plantains. The steak was very very tasty 😋😋👍👍

We make sure to have a few meals at D'Coal Pot on every visit to Tortola. They are now right at the water's edge in Carrot Bay. The setting could not be better. Great sunsets. The sound of the surf on rocks right next to you. One meal must always be roti. On the last visit, the seafood one slightly edged out the conch. The jerk chicken was grilled and seasoned tastily. The curry crusted grouper is a family favorite. Well priced wine list. If you want something non-alcoholic, though, try the sorrel. Theirs was excellent.

Italian restaurant
Capriccio di Mare is an Italian restaurant that offers a delightful menu comprising of spaghetti olio aglio, mix salad and bruschetta. The pasta was expertly prepared and had a delectable flavor. The establishment goes the extra mile by providing generous amounts of Parmesan cheese and chili flakes on each table, which is an uncommon yet pleasant gesture. Both the mix salad and bruschetta were served in substantial portions at a reasonable price point.
We ordered spaghetti olio aglio, mix salad and bruschetta. Spaghetti was cooked just right and the taste just perfect. Very generous on Parmesan cheese and chilli flakes on the table. Very unusual but nice little gesture. Mix salad and bruschetta also served big portions. Reasonable price. The lady who served us was very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is clean and airy. Food was served in good timing too. I highly recommended this place.

Had lunch here. Ordered their special of the day mushroom risotto, it comes with pink color, the risotto over cook, too soft like porridge, 3 slides pieces of mushroom, taste not good at all. Coffee with milk in Italian restaurant, is instant coffee instead of proper brew coffee or coffee bean. Disappointed... Will not go again .

Such a great experience all around. Food was DELICIOUS and authentic. The homemade desserts were also to die for. The service was the best of all the islands - very attentive and polite service. We would 10000% come back!

Wonderfully authentic Italian food and desserts are enhanced by the Vinyard atmosphere and owner's affectionate welcome for those who appreciate the Good Stuff. We especially enjoyed the $20 pizza and bottomless mimosa special while we waited for the Saturday ferry.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this charming small Italian restaurant in Road Town, Tortola, and I can't sing its praises enough! From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The food was simply exquisite, bursting with authentic Italian flavors and made with the freshest ingredients. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, and it's clear that the chefs here are truly passionate about their craft. But what truly set this restaurant apart was the impeccable service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt welcomed and well taken care of. I had the pleasure of spending some time at the bar, where I met Alicia and Lilly, two phenomenal bartenders who not only make the best drinks in town but also create a friendly and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner for two or a lively evening with friends, this restaurant has it all. I can't recommend it highly enough and can't wait to return for another unforgettable dining experience. Grazie mille to the entire team for a truly magical evening!

This is a welcoming, calm, restaurant in the busy waterfront of Roadtown. A good place for charter crews to either prepare for sailing, or wind down after their boat adventure. The food is very good, service is excellent. Enjoy!

One of the better restaurants we visited while on Tortola. Very gluten-free friendly. In fact, my wife loved the gluten-free pizza (which is homemade by the owner's wife) so much, we at here three times during our week-long stay on the island.

The lasagna came with some lettuce for a basic salad. Portion was decent, but there wasn't much flavor. Hubby had tuna; his sides were spaghetti and steamed veggies. Nice sized portion of tuna, which he said was good. He also liked the spaghetti in red sauce. We ordered cheesy garlic bread, which was a surprise when it arrived. It was a small pizza with minced garlic and melted cheese. Basically flatbread. It was ok, but nothing special. The painkillers were excellent. Service was good.

Great little Bar at front with Happy Hour Cocktails $5 daily 17:30-18:30. Not only have a great menu selection for offer but if you prefer another well-known Cocktail then bartender is willing to make and also include within the Happy Hour pricing. Personally, I do find a 15% compulsory fee a bit steep to apply to final check/bill but as the drinks were well made, can forgive. Will return and do recommend.

OMG this is one of the best meals I've had in my entire life seriously! I've eaten at 5star restaurants many times but this was authentic. The owners are actually Italian. The food is imported from Italy per the owner. Wife makes all the desserts in house. Sasha was our server. She was so attentive and pleasant during our entire stay. The bartender was amazing and made great drinks. We ordered the cheesy bread, Capri salad, meatballs for appetizers. Nothing disappointing. For our entrees we ordered the grouper piccata, a 14-in pizza, chicken marsala spaghetti and meatballs and the chicken schnitzel. When I tell you the garlic, olive oil sauce was amazing... It was so good! Fresh garlic and olive oil with a few pepper flakes within the pomodori offered with the grouper piccata...heaven. light and flavorful with fresh capers. The grouper filet spanned the dinner plate. Amazing 😍. Everything was fresh. Service was great. No long wait times. Dessert was also rewarding with many options. The creme brulee was just fantastic with fresh lemon zest..creamy and satisfying. All in all, a wonderful restaurant with five star service.

Food and drinks were decent for the price. Contrary to some reviews, we experienced pretty bad service. It took about 20 min after we were seated to be seen by our server. That was the only time she interacted with us the whole time over an hour and a half. Had to flag her down to get our check in order to leave.

This is an amazing place to come if you are on a cruise ship as it is very close to the port. The atmosphere is very chill and the workers seem to really care about their place and food, which is important to me.

A cosy place with great service. Now, in my opinion, there is a room for improvement when it comes to the food served. Either that, or I've been spoiled by some great Italian food throughout the years. Tuna was a minute overcooked for medium rare, and the chicken was average. Having said that, their pizza was better than of some of the island's competitors. Won't mention any names 😀

The food was OK here. Some good meals, some just fine. The service was almost nonexistent. They spoke about 3 words to us all night. It's cute inside though, and there's lots of fun dessert options.

Last night in the BVIs, we were searching for a charming eatery to enjoy quality time together. Our desire for pizza led us to Fantasia Giorgio's after finding our usual spot closed. Despite many other places being shuttered on Sundays, we decided to take a chance and called Giorgio, who graciously agreed to open his restaurant for our group.
My husband and I had reservations on, January 20, 2022. We arrived an hour early and we were greeted by Giorgio with a smile. Although we were early, he rushed to make us comfortable and turned on the air conditioner. We had the most delicious meal and the wine that Giorgio suggested was wonderful. If you visit Road town, Tortola, this restaurant is a must! Thank you Giorgio for the great food and spirits and the wonderful conversation! Alan and Diane Zeh

2024 Feb. our second time at Giorgio and it was just as special. Lily was there to serve us and ensure we had a lovely time. Lily chose the perfect wine for our meal. The food was delicious and the deserts were light and delicious. 2022 June - It was our last night in the BVI‘s and we were looking for a great little restaurant to spend our time together. We wanted pizza and the other restaurant we had been to in the past was closed. Many others were closed on Sunday too. But we took a chance and called and Giorgio answered and he said he would open the restaurant for our group. We were delighted and thought we were going to a little pizza place. Imagine our delight when we saw this awesome restaurant. The decor was lovely. They had a great wine list. Giorgio greeted us like we were old friends and brought us fabulous wine. The food was delicious. We had a variety of dishes but we absolutely loved the pizzas. I highly recommend you visit this restaurant when you are in Tortola.

food was good and service very attentive - but not inexpensive, then strange not to offer a wine list and only offer wine by the bottle at a $70 per bottle range.

This place was closed for New Year’s Eve…but we didn’t know that. When we showed up, the owner, who was chatting with a delivery person outside on the street, opened the restaurant just for us! The pizza was incredible and the owner was so kind and generous to take the time to take care of us on a night when I’m sure she had places to be. Five stars across the board!

How to wrap up a magical week in the BVI, discover this restaurant. This is amazing and very reminiscent of a typical restaurant in Italy. Small dining area for a quiet and intimate dinner. Excellent wines and delicious food. Lele was our server and her husband was the chef this night. Our party tried the pizza, pork, pasta, and lobster tortellini. Everything was perfect. The friendliness and warmness of everyone was so inviting and this will be a definite return when I make it back to Tortola.

What a hidden gem! We wanted a good dinner for our last night. We saw this searching for pizza earlier in the week, then a local recommended it. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked in to a quaint, intimate dining room abundant in charm. The owner is lovely, attentive, and knows his wine. The food was all well prepared and this party left incredibly satisfied.

Very good Italian restaurant on a sort of charming street. Service was on “island time” but food was delicious. It isn’t cheap but no decent food on an island will be. Great pizza and pasta.

We had dinner there last night and it was terrible experience. We Had to wait for 2 hours , and then after all our food was given to another table !!! Not recommended for services, setting was very noisy , etc Food wasn’t anything special as it said on the menu…

Went here at random with a couple friends thinking for some reason it was just a pizza joint, located in a narrow alley with limited signage. While we were a bit surprised to walk into what felt like it could be a fine dining experience, and $$$ prices ($30 pizza for example), we left wishing we had more time in BVI to come back. The chef (Lily?) was acting as waitress as well this particular night due to a call out and she was amazing. Pizzas were excellent, great dough, fresh ingredients.
