MAYA COVE An elegant but intimate cove |
||||||||
|
Along the Sir Francis Drake Channel side of Tortola's
coast and close to the Airport, Maya Cove is a protected enclave behind its reef and Buck
Island.
Hodges Creek Marina. This marina, in Maya Cove, also called Hodges Creek, has all yachtsman services, studio apartments, the Calamaya and Fat Hog Bob's restaurants, a supermarket, Blue Water Divers, Sunsail Yacht Charters (see Tortola Rates and Boat Specs here), Sun/Stardust Yacht Charters and Freedom Yacht Charters. Dining. The architecture fuses ancient Roman temple designs expressed in muted West Indian colors. A member of that eclectic family of Italian restaurants including the Brandywine and Capriccio di Mare, Calamaya might be called a West Indian and Italian seafood restaurant. Lunch features lobster and pasta pizza, a Cubana Grilled Sandwich with shrimp, ham, pineapple and cheese, flying fish sandwiches, and beef wraps. Dinner starts with a unique Island Fruit Fritters appetiser and finishes with Banana Ravioli for desert. Entrees include New York Strip Steak in a tamarind barbecue sauce, jerk chicken and pastas like Black Fettuccine of Lobster in a Tomato and Cream Sauce. The West Indian Roast Pork comes from a suckling pig roasted on a spit visible through a display window to the kitchen. Pelican's Cafe (495-1515), open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, has hearty fare and a casual ambiance right on the waterfront at Tropic Island Marina. Fat Hog Bob's (495-1010), open for lunch and dinner, is famous for its baby back ribs--marinated in Guinness and grilled so tender in the chef's secret sauce--the best in the BVI! Home of the "Hogwacker" drink! Try the Texas-style porterhouse steak or fresh game fish. Dine inside or out on the covered balcony over Hodge's Creek. For lunch, have one of Fat Bob's big tasty sandwiches and chill out in a hammock. Or hang out with the locals and yachties at the bar and watch sports on the big screen TV. Lodging. |
