Rosewood Little Dix Bay

“Our new favorite resort in the Caribbean”

The wonderful experience, can’t wait to return! Service was amazing. Food was great and the location is incredible. Highly recommend going to the spa at sunset

“Serene luxury treatment is a must”

The facility is serene and beautiful. The staff and service were superb. The location of my massage overlooked the ocean and delivered the relaxing experience I was seeking.

“Must stay”

Great visit. We were external guests and visited 4 separate times (3 for breakfast and 2 for lunch) along with just exploring the property. Staff made us feel welcome and property is well maintained.

Arrival & First Impressions The arrival process is incredibly seamless. Upon arrival, we cleared immigration and customs and met our concierge as soon as we exited the airport. We hopped into a van for a quick ride to the dock on Tortola, where we were treated to drinks at the Loose Mongoose while waiting for our boat to fuel up. The 15-minute boat ride to Little Dix Bay was a fantastic way to start the trip and orient ourselves to the resort's location. Upon pulling up to the dock, we were warmly welcomed, given a quick tour, and introduced to our butler, who escorted us to our room. Accommodations & Room Amenities We stayed in an ocean-view cottage on the second floor. Initially concerned about the room size, we were thrilled to find it more than spacious enough, complete with an ample balcony and spectacular views. I tend to look for things to criticize, but my complaints here are incredibly minor and didn't negatively impact our stay: the rooms do not have televisions, and the toilet is not located in a separate water closet. Surprisingly, the lack of a TV wasn't an issue; we just used our laptop to watch movies in the evenings. Note on the Air Conditioning: We have stayed at multiple resorts throughout the Caribbean and were shocked at how well the AC worked here. We like it very cold, and this is the first time the AC was, at times, too cold! Resort Grounds & Cleanliness The grounds are essentially immaculate. In terms of the overall look and feel, there was really nothing I could fault. The landscaping, the upkeep of the common areas, and the cleanliness of the rooms were all somewhere close to perfect. Dining: On & Off Property * On-Property: Over our six nights, we ate at the Pavilion, Sugar Mill, and ordered from the beach. Overall, the food was very good, albeit a bit expensive. I do not eat seafood, and while the menus are definitely fish-heavy, I was easily able to find something I enjoyed at every meal. * Off-Property: We tried Sugarcane, Hog Heaven, Rock Cafe, and Coco Maya. All were great, but the standouts were Coco Maya (for the great food and ambiance) and Hog Heaven (for the amazing views of Necker Island, Moskito Island, and the surrounding area). The Beach Experience * Beach Service: The beach staff sets up your chairs every day with towels, water, and ice. Each palapa has its own call button to request a server, making ordering incredibly easy. The staff is attentive, though depending on your location on the beach, it can take 15 to 20 minutes to receive a drink. As is typical for a luxury property, drinks are quite pricey. * Beach Drops: We took advantage of a beach drop one afternoon, and the process was very easy. The resort's add-on food options didn't really appeal to us, so we skipped the food and brought a few of our own beverages to supplement the complimentary cooler and water provided by the resort. Pro-Tip: Rent a Car I highly recommend renting a car. It’s great to be able to go off-property, explore Virgin Gorda, grab different food options, and run to the grocery store. Driving on the island is pretty simple with one caveat: avoid the hills at night. The roads are very winding and steep, which can be challenging if you aren't accustomed to driving on the left side of the road. Although Rosewood is quite expensive, the quality of the service, food, and accommodations are truly first-rate. Highly recommended.
