Escape the world to Anegada, and check out a wonderful guesthouse cum inn called Neptunes Treasure
A beachfront vacation in the British Virgin Islands is many peoples idea of paradise. To be more specific a beachfront guesthouse on Anegada called Neptunes Treasure could be the answer to your prayers when it comes to choosing a BVI Vacation that isnt going to be too expensive.
Neptunes Treasure Guesthouse is beachfront on the south west of Anegada, and is family owned. It has a restaurant and bar and only nine rooms so it is small and intimate. The rooms are best described as basic but very clean, in fact spotless would be a better description, simply furnished, and best of all no in room television, which means when you come to Neptunes Treasure you can escape from everything thats happening in the world outside. There is no air conditioning, but it really isnt necessary because of the cooling breezes. Theres a valid point of view that says living in air conditioning is sterile, and you get far closer to the local feel with a ceiling fan.
One of the best reasons for choosing Neptunes Treasure is the restaurant which serves the best food on Anegada. In fact you wont want to eat anywhere else after just one meal here, and if you like seafood then you will love the menus. Value for money is an often used description of Neptunes Treasure, and restaurant is very much part of that with lobster dishes described by some as the best lobster in the Caribbean.
In terms of getting to Anegada and Neptunes Treasure, there is a ferry running from Roadtown Tortola on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays leaving at 7.30 am, stopping at Virgin Gorda and arriving at 8.30am, with the return trip at 4.30pm. The only other alternative is to charter a small plane, but why miss out on one of the great ferry trips anywhere, with a totally laid back Caribbean feel to it. You will realise very quickly why Anegada is still so natural and laid back because it requires that little bit of effort which most folk wont make.
What you do with your time at Neptunes Treasure is totally up to you. The owners will make you feel very much like one of the family, so can immediately relax into a hammock with a supply of good books, and admire the view from your porch towards Tortola and Virgin Gorda. Being beachfront you can remove your shoes and walk barefoot on the best beaches in the British Virgin Islands if not all of the Caribbean. You will find all the local people you meet are friendly and very happy to stop and chat. As a point of interest, the BVI is probably the safest place in the Caribbean with very little crime.
Of course you wont just walk the beaches, but swim, and even snorkel in the crystal clear warm sea, but the hammock option remains high on the list of non activities!!
To summarise, for value for money you wont get a better beachfront vacation in the BVI than Neptunes Treasure. Its an inn or a good old fashioned owner managed guesthouse with a quite superb restaurant, and far from the madding crowd.
