Desiree Hill, owner/manager of the Heritage Inn & BananaKeet Cafe on Tortola, contacted me with the following update. She said, “We are working hard during this difficult time to rebuild our restaurant and expect the BananaKeet to be fully restored to its beautiful pre-Irma condition by May, 2018. In the interim, we have set up a temporary dining area to accommodate our guests during reconstruction.” The restaurant is now open for business weekly on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Located on Windy Hill, the BananaKeet Cafe is renown for its delicious meals and incredible sunsets. Chef Spice and the entire BananaKeet staff are looking forward to seeing everyone once again. So come on out for great food, cool drinks and the best sunsets on the island.

BVI Traveller was created in September of 2017 to help tourism in the British Virgin Islands recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Irma.
To that end, we met our goals. In the past 7 years there have been over 1.2 million visits to the website and over 3 million pages have been viewed. There are over 1,000 pages on the site featuring news posts and detailed listings on all hotels, villas, restaurants and sailing charters located in the BVI. The BVI Government and many business, hotels, villas and sailing charters have all agreed that the site “moved the needle on tourism” after Irma.
The site, however, has run its course. It has served its purpose by bringing visitors and local businesses together to rebuild the tourist industry and it is now time to shut down operations for good.
I want to thank everyone for your help and support.
