No Frames Frames
Famous for its quintessential
Caribbean character, the North
Beach Coast of Tortola has particularly fine resorts and charming inns.
Sebastian's on the Beach.
A wonderful, casual resort with breathtaking views, Sebastian's
On The Beach (495-4212 email) has
what some call a European ambiance. The reasonably priced rooms have elegant beach decor,
with Italian tiled bathrooms, rattan furniture and white ceramic tiled floors.
Louvered windows and doors
catch island breezes. And the overall cleanliness is often
complimented-upon. The small refrigerators are very handy. Some of the rooms are right
on the beach and their balconies and terraces have sitting areas overhanging
the ocean. Guests mingle in a personal atmosphere.
