Anyone stayed here? We are thinking of a BVItrip next March(we have stayed at Biras Creek before)....but this looks more intriguing and private. Thanks, LindaP

I really like the look of Peter Island (have never been there). If you have a dozen rich friends, rent out Necker Island (or go during one of their "celebration weeks" where you can rent just one room).
I am quite intrigued by Biras Creek and would appreciate any scoop.
Merci en avance.

IV Biras Creek was a fun place, cute rooms with outdoor showers. They give you bikes ,which you need to get to the beach,,,they were kind of old(as in "wicked witch"-type bikes) but it was a fun ride to the beach!!!The food was good, they always served stilton cheese and port after dinner( one old guy when we were there really downed that port!!!yuk).
The beach is really nice, but more in a cove. The BEST thing was the use of the little boats(sorry, Im not familiar with boat-dingy terms, so I dont know the type).....butthey would pack a picnic lunch for you, and off we went to a bunch of little seculded spots on the other islands.(Necker was off the list!).
The "sandbox" was a little bar on on of the islands, and you sat in Adirondack chairs with a beer in the sand, awesome.
Another good thing was the ability to walk to Bitter End Yacht Club and buy your own supplies, beer, etc a lot less than at the resort. So, it was a great experience, we actually met(this was 5 yrs ago) another couple from Georgia, that we still see......met them last yr in Anguilla for a few days on our way to SBs.
But, we thought we would try a dfferent experience,.....so we are leaning towards Peter Island. Hope this info helps. LindaP

Merci. It definitely helps. We want to take our kids somewhere a little different and have several thoughts in mind with biras being one of them. Thanks.

I have never heard a bad word about Peter Island and all the reviews I've heard came from people who I know well and trust their opinions implicitly....

It would be pretty hard for Peter Island to be a bad time - low density, beautiful beaches, great service.
Gee, I could sign up for such Hardship Duty.

We stayed there in Nov. 2003 to celebrate my wife's birthday. Unfortunately, it was during the worst extended rainstorm I've ever had the misfortune to experience. We had 16 inches of rain in 3 days, 21 for the week. The previous record for the entire month of November was 11 inches. Here's the only time we saw any sun:
I was diving on the Rhone and this was the surface interval. So most of the time I was underwater seeing things like this:
That said, it's a beautiful, classy place with great food and service. Beautiful beaches (some very private), water sports like sailing and snorkeling, music in the evenings, great view of the Sir Francis Drake channel. Bring a jacket/dress for dinner. I'd like to go back but not in the fall. I think the climate is changing for the worse.

I loved Mustique, and hope to go back on another trip. In the meantime.....there's SBs in April, and again over Thanksgiving week, life is good right now, enjoy it while we can !!!!!! LindaP

We're seriously considering going back to Peter Island (as well as a few other islands) in July on the theory that you should get back on that horse after it throws you or you'll be fearful all your life. Now if we run into a hurricane then ...
