We waited for 20+ minutes to order a drink at the bar. The poor man there was running the entire place alone, while 4 other workers sat and watched. Everyone was frustrated, waiting for bills, etc. We ordered one drink and left after waiting nearly 30 minutes just to get it.

The most helpful accommodating and informative staff. The best facilities....a great pool, beach, beach bar snd shops all on your doorstep. Very well organised with boat services....things get fixed quickly. Downside..... Laundry service is not quick but you can use machines to do yourself in the evening.

We blindly found and fell in love with Nanny Cay. After getting off the cruise ship, we were looking for somewhere that was far less populated...and we found it. If you are looking for a beautiful beach that is quiet and secluded...this is the place. If you are looking for lots of activities such as wave runners, kayaks, or other... More

There is a bar with food, toilets and showers, a pool and a cab only costs $6 per person from the cruise port. Everything is great but you can't go bear foot. There are so many rocks so you will need water shoes. Other Han that it is enjoyable with mild waters and a great place to be!

We stumbled upon this place by accident. They have a small, but clean beach area, a well stocked and lively bar, and a pool that you can pay $10 to use that looked very good. (I didn't use the pool, just the beach.) The connected restaurant offers excellent food at very reasonable prices. It's also a huge marina too on... More

When we bareboat charter we usually feel rushed to get our boat out of the marina and to a more secluded anchorage on Peter or Norman Island. However, unlike other more industrial-feeling marinas on Tortola, Nanny Cay made us feel like our vacation had started as soon as we arrived. There is a nice beach outside the marina and an... More

Modern, up-dated resort and marina. Although a beautiful, expensive, well appointed marina, I was disappointed to discover no septic/holding tank dumping station for boats. The marinas water has been fouled over the few years it has been developed from waste. If you can ignore that the shops are fun, great marina services, a modest public restaurant near the shops, great... More
