HOTEL AMENITIES

HOTEL FEATURES

What to expect: With an emphasis on sailing and water sports, Bitter End draws active families seeking a tranquil holiday free of television, air-conditioning, and automobiles. The resort is set on 75 acres of steep, green hillside and one mile of ocean shoreline. The main section resembles a Caribbean seaside village, with multicolored buildings, gingerbread trim, and corrugated red-steel roofs.

Amenity highlights: In addition to its complimentary watercraft fleet, the resort offers a mile-long, gently curved oceanfront featuring three beaches, each furnished with cushioned, weathered-teak lounge chairs. One beach, protected from Atlantic Ocean breezes, has calm water ideal for swimming. Another beach offers windsurfing and snorkeling. The resort's swimming pool is bordered by a sundeck with canopy shades.

Insider tip: Guests using complimentary 11-foot Boston Whaler outboards are supplied a map displaying suggested destinations 10-45 minutes away. These include snorkeling, swimming, hiking, and seashell-gathering spots on nearby reefs, islands, and Virgin Gorda bays.
