Beautiful oceanview, friendly & helpful staff!
Needs upgrading of facilities e.g a proper lobby/frontdesk to conduct business. Also proper closets are needed. A proper footwash tap is needed from the beach/sand to room. A basin of water is not hygienic!
Sebastians is ideally situated, as the name suggests, on the beach. Its very informal which is great to enjoy a relaxed vacation.
Staff are friendly and helpful, food offering is good.
A few of the facilities werent perhaps as good as they could be, our shower was difficult to control, the room safe didnt work but those are minor fixable things and didnt detract from our over all enjoyment of our holiday.
Nice place for a short visit. We had a garden room. Beautiful part of the island but it may need s as little update. Best rum on the island

The restaurant on property was great! Drinks and food multiple times always good and the service was great. The store across the street had any essentials and snacks as well as a good selection of alcoholic beverages.
Right on the beach as stated. Lots of surfers enjoyed the waves nearby. Restaurant food was quite good. Island time of course with a smile always returned.
This hotel is great for someone wanting to stay VERY close to the water. The road traffic at this location is relatively light and the area is quieter than most on Tortola. However, our room (#6) was right next to the restaurant/bar and was a beachside room. The waves were crashing right outside our balcony door and on Thursday and Saturday nights the bar had a bingo/karaoke event that we "experienced" quite fully from inside our room. Anyone with small children will want a room away from the bar. Overall, we were quite satisfied.
We enjoyed our stay at SOB. Our room was comfortable and kept nice and clean by the staff. Room 12 has a balcony with an amazing view....fun to watch the surfers.
The photos of your facility were taken years ago. You have restored the hotel, but you are no longer "on the beach", you are on the "small boulders that have replaced the sand" and the boulders come right up to the restaurant retaining walls. Its about 20 feet from the wall to the water. There are no tables on the beach because there is only boulders to the water. Not at all easy to get to the water in front of the hotel. You have to walk (quite far) or drive to a sandy beach. The roads are very narrow and in very bad shape. The economy rooms are very small with very poor A/C with no views and way in the back of the facility. Sea view rooms cost much more. My advice is to visit Tortola is to pick an upscale hotel with a good restaurant and sandy beach and stay there. (West end, north shore area) Renting a car is very expensive when including insurance (recommended) and you are liable for dented wheels(many potholes) and cleaning/removing sand. Driving around the island is a mistake as there are minimal road signs and other than finding a sandy beach, not much to see. We spent our time at Long Bay Beach(walk-able)and Cane Garden Bay Beach(better to drive or taxi). Both excellent sandy beaches. Restaurants in these areas have good food but expensive, not many/any opportunities to reduce food costs. We chartered sailboats many times in the BVI and had excellent vacations, this was the first hotel only/no boat stay (too old) and nowhere as good as being on the water.

Beautiful setting. Food was very good at restaurant.
Pretty remote place but liked it
The property had a nice, casual on site restaurant and was very convenient to two other higher end restaurants. Staff was helpful and friendly. Garden rooms were quite small but had a comfortable bed and the necessary amenities. Good value for the price.
Can’t beat the location, the staff was so friendly. We did have a few mishaps, maid service went in despite our do not disturb and stripped our room but never replaced the sheets/towels, staff was happy to fix. We dealt with the a/c going absolutely haywire the last night scaring us and spraying me with ice resulting in no ac or fan the rest of the night.

Although Expedia indicated that the hotel was 10miles from the airport it was a 45 minute drive so it is not a hotel if you are taking a connecting flight.
