Beaches - Biras Creek Resort in The British Virgin Islands

Biras Creek Resort in The British Virgin Islands.

I have wanted to stay at Biras Creek for what seems like forever, well at least since I read about it in a travel magazine, possibly twenty years ago.
Now I’ve had the chance to stay at Biras Creek, I’m not disappointed. It was everything I’d hoped it would be. It’s not often a resort lives up to the brochure!!
Firstly, and most importantly Biras Creek looked just like all the pictures in the brochure and website.

Although the resort was full we never saw nor heard our neighbors because each suite was in a duplex and was very secluded, with fantastic views. The bedroom was air-conditioned, and there was two complimentary robes and a selection of drinks in our refrigerator. Outside we found two bicycles for getting around the resort.

We both thought that the meals were excellent.
Breakfast started at 8:00 am, lunch at 1:00 pm and dinner at 7:00 pm.
We took the buffet lunch on the beach most of the time, and dinner featured a menu that changed daily with several appetizer and entrée choices. The best part of the evening apart from the food, were the fantastic sunsets at the bar before dinner.

We meant to relax, a good book, and a glass of beer was all we really wanted, but if you choose to be energetic, the resort had numerous activities available. You were able to talk to a member of staff in the restaurant each morning, to help you with tours, diving or reserve a Boston Whaler dinghy to run about the North Sound.
There were lots of nice secluded beaches, and several had good snorkeling. If you wanted, then the staff will pack a lunch to take with you if you let them know the night before. You can even take a beginners diving course in the pool, and then go out and do a proper dive over a reef..

If you like walking, there are hiking trails, one of which ends up at the Bitter End Yacht Club, where you can quench your thirst.

For those who like watersports on the beach there were several rafts, hobie cats, sunfish, windsurfers and kayaks, and best of all an instructor to help you.
Whether you stayed on the beach, or went hiking, nowhere was crowded, and it was always hard to believe the Resort was full when we were there.
If you needed civilization there was also a shuttle boat that can take you to main road to meet a taxi or pick up a rental car.

When it was time to go we were sad to leave, and would definitely return.
