Guavaberry Springbay is a series of small one and 2 bedroom houses nestled among the boulders on Spring Bay in Virgin Gorda. The houses have full kitchens and bbq's on the porch. Nicely furnished with a nice bathroom. Some have bedrooms with a/c and we are big a/c people but we didn't need to use it. The evening breezes thru the louvered windows were enough to cool the place off nicely.
The beach is a few minute walk and the best snorkeling is right there..it's a short snorkel from there to the famous Baths on the next beach.
I saw a gorgeous sea turtle float right past me as I snorkelled by.
It is very relaxing...no TV and no phones in the room (both are available at the front office). It is very quiet.....if you ask the question what is there to do here? then it's not for you. It's for chilling and doing nothing but sand and sea. We went out on a 50 foot catamaran and went sailing and snorkeling. At night we walked about 20 minutes to the Rock Cafe for drinks and to hear a guy play piano and sing. But that's about all the entertainment there is unless you go to one of the bigger hotels.
If you want peace and quiet and beauty....it's the place to go. A ferry ride away from St Thomas.

The "treehouse bungalow" was private, clean, cozy and tucked away amongst the boulders which gave it a romantic haven feel.
We sat on top of the boulder at night which was connected by a walkway to our deck, and watched the sunsets, the stars and the distant sailboats on the water. Romantic and laid back.
Loved the private beach (Spring Bay) down the road which was part of Guavaberry- some of the best snorkeling, trees for shade. and lots of enormous boulders flanking the smooth, white sand stretch of multi-tinted blue water. The beach was never crowded although the Baths (down the street) attracted a big crowd mid morning after the cruise ship drop off. We stayed clear of the Baths mid day.
I would not stay here with young kids or teenagers that liked a lot of action or if I liked alot of night life or great restaurants. If you like chillin on the beach, collecting shells, seeing amazing coral and tropical fish, body surfing, enjoying nice breezes, appreciating very helpful, friendly staff, and having no schedule- This one's for you. I wish I was back there right now!

We stayed in one of the treehouse places. It was dirty, a bit run down, and kind of like staying in the trees. We had to tippy toe to see the ocean. Not enough breeze to accomodate our hot needs. A good 10 minute walk to get to their beach. When complimentary beach items were gone, that was it. First come first serve for the snorkel and fins. We are travelers and found several other places on the island that had comparable prices right on the beach. Know that you are getting an inexpensive deal and a hike to the beach.

I'm reluctant to write this review because I'd rather keep this sweet, low key, lovely place to myself. But thought I'd spread the word to anyone who is looking for a restful, affordable spot on a gorgeous beach, on one of the few Caribbean Islands that has not been overrun with fancy chain hotels and shopping malls.

This is a relatively simple place with hexagonal cottages built into the amazing rock formations that are a part of the landscape of Virgin Gorda. Whoever designed these cottages understood the meaning of the term feng shui; everything, including the large porches, were placed to take maximum advantage of the fabulous views and the tradewinds. Cottages are not fancy but they're comfortable, though I would want to choose one with air conditioning in the late Spring and Summer (which many have).

The hotel has a semi-private beach that is actually nicer than the famous "Baths" beach next store, and emptier. There is also a well-stocked food store on the premises run on the honor system -- a nice touch by the management, who do a quietly efficient job of making guests feel comfortable.

I've stayed at far more luxurious places with more amenities and diversions, but the sweetness and simplicity of Guavaberry Spring Bay and the colors of the surrounding landscapes made for a far more restorative trip. I'd go back tomorrow.
