road and a marina (not the beach). Accommodations are rented with either water or
garden views. All rooms, with double or king-size beds, are designed with balconies

massively expanded to 250 seats and air-conditioned. The chefs serve Caribbean

Fort Burt Hotel
This is a small but special property, where guests get to know
fellow guests. The staff at this inn devote much of their energy to the property's popu-
lar pub and restaurant,
The Pub
(p. 209), which is run by the New England Culinary
Institute, but they also rent some very pleasant rooms. The hotel was built in 1960
on the ruins of a 17th-century Dutch fort, and is covered with flowering vines.
Accommodations are set at a higher elevation than any others in Road Town, offering
panoramic views from private terraces to the waterfront below. Simple, sun-flooded,
and cozy, the rooms have a colonial charm and a feeling of relaxed warmth. The suite
rentals are a bit expensive, but often have private pools. The regular doubles are spa-
cious enough and have been refurbished. There's a pool on the grounds, and guests
can walk to Garden Bay Beach or Smuggler's Cove Beach in just 3 minutes. The
hotel's major competitor is
Fort Recovery Beachfront Villas
(p. 202), which is also
built around the ruins of a sugar mill.
