Situated on Tortola’s northwest shore, among funky hotels and surf shacks, Sebastian’s on the Beach offers two-and-a-half-pearl, waterfront accommodations in a pleasant, but dated, package. There aren't too many amenities here: a casual a la carte restaurant and bar, a mini-market, and a small beach with lovely views of Belmont Point are the hotel's greatest assets. The 26 rooms are bright, but outdated, with free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, microwaves, and air-conditioning. Upgraded rooms feature wet bars and sea-view balconies. Unfortunately, the lack of a pool, relatively few nearby attractions, and limited usable beach space at high tide might leave some guests wanting more.

The Moorings Mariner Inn Hotel is a 40-room mid-range hotel almost exclusively patronized by travelers chartering yachts around the BVIs. It’s a decent place to stay for one or two nights, but it’s not the type of hotel that accommodates weeklong vacationers. Two on-site restaurants, a mid-size pool, and provisioning services make the Moorings a decent pre- or post-charter pick, but decor and amenities vary greatly between rooms, and many guests complain of temperature control in the showers. There really aren’t any other hotels like the Moorings on Tortola, but the nearby Fort Burt Hotel tends to have cheaper nightly rates, and is popular with travelers going on cruises.

Once a Dutch fortress used to protect Road Town’s inner harbor, Fort Burt Hotel is now a budget-friendly property with 17 guest rooms. Within walking distance of Road Town shops and restaurants, and within a short drive of Tortola’s cruise ship pier, the hotel is popular with pre- and post-cruisers. Fort Burt offers everything one might need for a quick stay — clean rooms, an on-site restaurant, free Wi-Fi, and a pool — but this no-frills hotel isn’t a place for vacationers looking for a relaxing beachfront property. Those in search of something directly on the sand in this price range should check out Long Bay Beach Club.
