Nanny Cay Resort & Marina

Tortola


Despite the 'resort' title, Nanny Cay is used more by boaters and business people than holidaymakers. The 40-room hotel has serviceable chambers with kitchenettes and balconies, as well as two restaurants, a marina, a beach, a dive shop and a mini-market – all good, since the property is isolated 3 miles west of Road Town. Hurricane repairs were ongoing at research time.
