While many resorts have now pushed back their dates for reopening to late 2018, it looks the Cooper Island Beach Club has led the way as far as getting back in business. The resort opened right on schedule on April 1st, 2018. Judging by the photo below they had a full restaurant on opening day!
Previously on their Facebook page they said, “Happy New Year Everyone! We’ve been pretty quiet on here but we’ve been busy putting things back together for our opening on the 1st of April 2018. Whilst the effects of the hurricanes were devastating we were lucky compared to most. We lost many of our decks, boardwalks and docks, some of our buildings, and sustained heavy damage to our inverter room for our solar but things are on the mend! Our onsite team are working hard to get things back on track and the good news is the microbrewery survived so we’ll have plenty of homemade beer for our guests. We still have a lot of work ahead but we’d like to thank everyone who has shown us support over the last few months and we look forward to seeing you all this season.”

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.
