If you have access to a water taxi, make the trip over to Peter Island for a meal, it’s absolutely worth it. Management has done an incredible job bringing this place back to life. The food was outstanding, which honestly surprised me since finding truly good food in the BVI can be a bit of a treasure hunt. Even the drinks were thoughtfully crafted, which shows real attention to detail and management that genuinely cares. Just the par levels were off because often they were out of items, which seems to happen only in BVI lol. After experiencing some pretty disappointing meals elsewhere in the BVI, it was refreshing to find a place that takes such pride in what they serve.

“AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE at Peter Island Resort”

If I could give them 10 stars I would....we just returned from Spring Break at Peter Island with another family. The resort is AMAZING- beautiful, clean, relaxing, spacious.

If I could give them 10 stars I would....we just returned from Spring Break at Peter Island with another family. The resort is AMAZING- beautiful, clean, relaxing, spacious. The pictures don't even do it justice. The service was a 10/10. Everyone operates on island time in the BVIs, but they went above and beyond to make all of our wishes a reality. They even offered to set up a TV in the conference center for my husband to watch March Madness. Everyone on the island knows each other and works together to make your experience enjoyable. Vera, Chanel, Mama Jean, Stacy, Rock, Ron, Ramon....they were all wonderful! Our experience at the spa was second to none. The massage I had was among the top 5 massages in my 45 years. I really cannot say enough good things about this magical place. We don't often return to resorts, but this one will be on repeat for years to come.

“My Favorite Private Island Resort - Peter Island is hard to beat with 5+ star service”

I had been to Peter Island maybe 15+ years ago when our kids were young and it was FANTASTIC. I was super sad when the resort was decimated by two hurricanes. It just reopened after being rebuilt this past fall and I'm happy to report that it's BACK and better than ever. First a shout out to ALL th… more

I had been to Peter Island maybe 15+ years ago when our kids were young and it was FANTASTIC. I was super sad when the resort was decimated by two hurricanes. It just reopened after being rebuilt this past fall and I'm happy to report that it's BACK and better than ever. First a shout out to ALL the incredible staff (from chefs Albert and Milton who heard that we wanted sushi and made us a super sushi meal for our last night totally off menu) who went above and beyond at every level - every manager, staff member, cart driver was friendly and eager to help. Any time there was a minor snafu, they were happy to take feedback and make it right which we all appreciated. Nicolette was fantastic at breakfast and Annie for dinner was very helpful at the Pelican. The Spa is BEYOND - my friend and I had the best massage I've ever had from Gaetane (also a facial - OMG- I think it changed my life) - I'd come back just to see her again and get another massage and the spa which is gorgeous and has a dedicated weight room and next door a dedicated aerobic equipment room overlooking a beautiful cliff. We used the gym EVERY DAY so thank you for that - great to keep in shape. Speaking of keeping in shape, my friends and I hiked the 5 mile VERY uphill sunset loop every single day - even at 10pm the first night we got here in the pitch black since they provide rechargeable flashlights. if you are an athlete, don't miss at as it was sublime at night and except for the goats, you have nothing to fear. We loved the sunset champagne and cheese -we used the free champagne from when we arrived which was also NOT crap champagne but Veuve Cliquot yellow label, a nice gesture. We loved that the mini bar is FREE - I hate being nickel and dimed - -you can have as much water/soda/beer, etc... and potato chips. One suggestion would be to provide a few healthy snacks like nuts or whatever besides chips. Speaking of health, I would DITCH all the Fiji plastic water bottles and provide guests with a Peter Island Water bottle - I felt terrible going through dozens of plastic bottles to stay hydrated. Final request - I'd focus more on light and healthy food (sushi, smoothies, light breakfast options, light dinner options, more veggie forward, more grains, more "bowls" like quinoa/veggie) -the last thing I really want on an island is a STEAK restaurant even though it was very good and one of our group did have the A5 Wagyu steak which was excellent. Beaches are all gorgeous, I loved our Beach front room with hot tub (we used it every night) - rooms 302/303 were right on the beach and fantastic - AC works great, fan as well, and when I asked for down pillows, they brought me some. Loved the nice touches like a turn down treat every night on the pillow. We took advantage of White bay beach, the other beach down the shore from deadman's - you can't go wrong. In sum, we had the best time during our 6 day stay. The two pools, beach store, snorkeling equipment, service and food are all exceptional. I don't usually like to go back to the same place, but I would definitely come back to Peter Island. Kudos to the hard working staff and managers for making our stay so special.

“Pros and cons after re-opening”

My wife and I stayed at Peter Island a couple times prior to Hurricane Irma and then again just recently as they reopened. The new Peter Island has several pros and cons.

My wife and I stayed at Peter Island a couple times prior to Hurricane Irma and then again just recently as they reopened. The new Peter Island has several pros and cons. Pros: - The island is still remote and pretty peaceful. - The new accomodations are quite nice. - Beds were comfortable - A/C cooled well (see cons below) - The staff are all exceptionally friendly! - Ferry shuttle service from Tortola is nice and efficient Cons: - The beachfront junior suite has 1 thermostat that controls 2 A/C units, one in the main room and a second unit in the bathroom. The problem with this is that when the temperature in the main room is comfortable it is rather cold in the bathroom. We had to turn the A/C off completely when we showered. Not the end of the world but a bit of a nuisance. - The main beach is still pretty but it is eveident it still has a bit of a seaweed problem. Barriers out in the water run across the length of the beach which are not attractive but I am sure help the situation. - My biggest issue is that there is no beach bar on the main beach (Deadmans). The only beach service is right in front of the pool and Drake's restaurant. There is also no outside bar at Drake's so if you are on the beach anywhere else you have to walk to the pool area and hope you can flag someone down to order a drink. I think this is a major problem, especially when you are paying premium rates to stay here. - When you want to order a golf cart pickup, room service or anything else you dial "0" but numerous times we did and found no one answering. - We were told beach towels would be placed in our room each day but we received none. This entailed us having to walk the entire length of the beach each morning to get towels located near the pool. - Beach lounge chairs were comfortable but they are extremely heavy so moving them to get shade was difficult at best. - A minor detail but bath towels are small and not good.
