Rosewood Little DIX Bay

We really enjoyed our stay at Rosewood. The room was very comfortable. There are no TV’s in the room but that wasn’t a problem. Each room is assigned a butler and they take care of any need you have like ….. a golf cart ride to breakfast, more water in the room, restaurant reservations on property or off property, arranging a rental jeep, arranging transportation to off property restaurants, and more. The butler service really made our stay more enjoyable. The staff is great and will help in any way. The beach has plenty of chairs and the beach service is great. There are 3 restaurants and each has good food. Overall this is one of the best resorts we have ever stayed at.

As a couple who has traveled to many hotels (all tiers) and enjoys splurging on nice resorts for special occasions, my husband and I didn’t think twice about booking Little Dix Bay as it gets pretty solid reviews and has a high return rate. I’ll start with the positives of the resort, because there are quite a few. The location itself doesn’t get prettier — it’s lush and tranquil, with turquoise water for miles. There are plenty of paths to walk, the gym is well equipped, as well as well kept tennis and pickleball courts. The staff is extremely friendly and the rooms are a great size with great bedding and pillows. Where this resort falls flat is that your experience is entirely dependent upon the fellow guests at the property during your stay. The rooms are on top of one another and situated condo style. We were in a bottom room and unfortunately the guests above us made so much noise (through no fault of their own, just trying to move around) and the guests in the room attached to ours had a child that did not sleep, that nothing about being in the room felt peaceful. It was no use trying to switch as the initial room they had put us in wasn’t what we had booked, so we were already on our second room. We had two different meal experiences where kids were running and screaming through the restaurant, as well as climbing over rock walls, while diners just kind of sat there horrified. This has nothing to do with kids being present at the resort, but it’s hardly the type of dinner atmosphere you expect when you’re eating a $300+ meal. On the subject of dining, the food is not five star, nor is there much variety and each night half the menu items were “unavailable” anyway, but five star prices are attached and service leaves much to be desired. After the second meal with unruly guests, we stopped eating at the resort and took a cab each night to eat elsewhere. During our stay we learned that the resort was booked at capacity and it became increasingly obvious that the staff is ill-equipped to handle a full load (simple things like forgetting to bring coffee orders, feelings of overwhelm from butler, no beach service or severely delayed (45 min or more), etc.) which makes it impossible to rate this hotel at the 5-star ranking it boasts. The BVI are absolutely gorgeous and worth visiting, but for the money you’ll pay to visit Little Dix Bay, you could charter a private boat for a week and see/do so much more with a much better experience.

The property is spectacular, the beach is quiet and protected by the reef. The gym, tennis and pickleball are excellent. I would only fault the beach service and restaurants. The food is mediocre, and the service needs much improvement. At the beach they have these buttons to hail the beach staff…they never show up. Even when you finally manage to grab someone, they promise your order or request, to no avail. The ball constantly drops. Even at the restaurant, I asked for salt and finally got tired of asking and got up to get it from the kitchen. Many times the staff just don’t understand and look at you with a blank stare. I expect a highly trained and experienced staff at a Rosewood

I liked the dialog with the masseuse. She was very knowledgeable and helpful to ensure both my experience and my wife’s was perfect.

My husband and I were here for our honeymoon and it exceeded all expectations. Our butlers, RJ and Naru were SO attentive, kind, and on top of things. The housekeepers went above and beyond to ensure our room was tidy, homey, and special. And the food is worth every penny. We could not have been happier with out entire experience and stay. From the sea turtles, water sports, sunscreen everywhere, private beach drops, snorkeling trips, food, breakfast, butlers, free beachside icecream, and everything in between, this is a place that really knows what vacation should feel like.

The spa was absolutely lovely. The space was incredible and perched above the resort. My massage was really great and so was my masseuse. Would definitely recommend!
