Cooper Island Beach Club

Cooper Island Beach Club Review

Diving is the focus at this small resort, but folks who want to simply swim, snorkel, or relax can also feel right at home. The rooms are comfortable, with attractive wood furniture, tile floors, and lovely sea views. Unless you go on a diving excursion, once you're here, you're here to enjoy the camaraderie of your fellow guests and the yachties who moor just off the beach. The resort provides a complimentary ferry from Road Harbour Marina in Road Town, but it operates on a limited schedule; other times you must use an expensive water taxi service. The restaurant ($$-$$$) serves up delightful food for lunch and dinner, and some dishes include items grown right on the property. There's also an emphasis on sustainable tourism, with the resort producing about 75% of its power with solar panels on the restaurant roof. But leave your electric hair dryers and shavers at home—the system can't handle them (iPod chargers are OK). The resort has Wi-Fi only in public areas.
