Great Food and Great People!
Pros:

We ate here twice. The food and service were fantastic. Definitely try the chicken roti! We also had the pleasure of enjoying the live music on Christmas night, and really appreciated the Christmas goody bags!

Beach day pass not needed here!
Pros:

Such a great experience at this laid-back out of the way beach Hotel in the West End of Tortola at Little Apple Bay. When I contacted them to inquire about a day pass while we were visiting from our cruise ship, the staff told us that we were welcome to come and enjoy the facilities, bring a beach towel, and perhaps visit their restaurant or bar. That’s exactly what we did, and we had an absolutely great day. The bar was comfortable, and affordable. Afterwards, we lounged on the beach chairs under an umbrella. The surf is wild, and we saw no swimmers, but many talented surfers. The beach immediately at the hotel is rocky, but Sandy Beach is nearby. The staff was lovely. They offered beachfront rooms, a few feet from the waves. Altogether a lovely experience. The taxi ride is $12 a person if you’re in a group, and $35 for a private ride. The hotel staff will call the taxi for you if you’d like. Perfect day in Tortola!

Good experience but expected more for a 3+ rated hotel.
Pros:

Location great, staff accommodating, & room was clean & comfy for the most part except for ants by the sliding glass door & a few at the bathroom sink.Housekeeping was alerted. Room needs a refresh /updating along with bath towels. No toiletries provided. Nardis Bar & Restaurant had good food & drinks.

Pros:

Stayed in an oceanfront room 4 nites. which was clean except for ants by the sliding glass door & a few around the bathroom sink. Did alert housekeeping. Room & bathroom need a refresh/update. No toiletries & towels are worn & need replacement. On the bright side the restaurant food was good & staff was accommodating. Need to order bottled water vs tap. Was a pleasant stay for using room to start our day island & beach hopping.

Pros:

I recently spent eight nights at Sebastian on the beach and it was the most peaceful experience. The proximity to the beach was great. The sea water was magnificent. The staff at Sebastian are the kindest and most friendly people I have met and I thank you, and continue to exhibited those qualities. I must mention Rhonda, Angelica, Dahlia, and Catanya who assisted me with all my transport needs and my restaurant experiences. You all helped in making my experience in Tortola BVI unforgettable. All the best to you all, and I look forward to visiting again. Karen.

I do not recommend
Pros:

First off, I do have to say that the staff was amazing, if it was not for them, I would have given it a 1 star. $200 for a tiny room you can barely move about in, the walls are thin, no pool or other worthwhile amenities. I would recommend searching for something nicer, the rooms look nothing like the picture.
The Grill across the street has good food, dinner I had good service, breakfast was terrible.

Good stay poor service
Pros:

Oh Boy!
Let me tell you guys about Sebastian on the Beach we stayed for couple days my husband, a friend and myself. First, we was greeted well when we arrived at the front desk by I think her name is Anglica, she was very pleasant and welcoming and did give some advice. The hotel staff on a whole were always pleasant. The rooms were clean and comfortable. For that rate we couldn't complain. We were so happy to know that there was a restaurant on site that serve breakfast lunch and dinner so we wouldn't really need to go else where. We went for dinner the night ( I think that karaoke was taking place). The server was not attentive she brought water and drinks and she took forever to come back to take our food order. The food was good at least, but the service was very poor. It was clear that all the server was interested in was receiving tips because we asked about the service charge (we know about service charge and how it is shared) and she insisted that it goes to the managers.
We went for breakfast the next day and why were we greeted with a loud and what appears to be very untidy young lady in slippers on her feet. For me I think servers should look presentable from head to toe. It shouldn't matter if it is a beach bar, or a top scale restaurant. Again the server was not attentive to our needs and the restaurant was not at all full (breakfast was good). The managers really need to have their servers trained in customer service and appearances.
Sebastian on the Beach is a beautiful place in a nice view and quiet environment. I would recommend the hotel but I am not sure about the restaurant, at lease if they don't change or train their staff.

Sebastian on the Beach Poor attitude
Pros:

It was a shame because we stayed for four days, first time around and accepted it as average and nothing to write home about. We then went off for a couple weeks visiting and staying at different islands including Puerto Rico and in the last minute before heading back home, to book a few more days at Sebastians as it was ok (we were limited on availability to stay) but we were reminded once again just how rude the staff at Sebastian on the Beach can be, particularly in the restaurant (we actually tolerated it the first time around knowing we were soon to be off) after our consequential stays in various places, being reminded of great service and hospitality , but once back at the SOB we experienced yet again just plain rudeness and a laziness from people to serve in the restaurant, we waited for 45 minutes in an uncrowded restaurant ! We decided after the first night that we would not eat for the remaining five days at SOB and instead eat at the Sugar Mill Hotel where we were greeted well and enjoyed fine cuisine and service. I think the result of the surly behaviour has cost their business dearly, probably about £1500+ from lost revenue. We will not be visiting this hotel again.

Great stay at Sebastian’s
Pros:

We were in room 2. It was steps away from the ocean. The room was clean, the AC was cool and quiet, and we enjoyed the staff and the food at the restaurant.
