Rhymer’s Beach Hotel

Tortola


Smack on the beach and right in the center of the action, Rhymer’s was one of the area’s first inns. The big, pink concrete building with its restaurant and laundry shows serious signs of hard use, but the price and energy of the place can work for those on a budget. Rooms are mostly studios with kitchenette and patio.
