Necker island is located close to beef island in the bvi.We flew from London to Antigua and after a brief stop, onto beef island where we were picked up by speedboat and transferred to Necker.This was probably one of the best holidays we have ever had and the main reason for this was the staff.Nothing was too much trouble and if you wanted anything different you only had to ask.There were a few themed nights such as casino night,Pirate night (bbq on the beach in pirate outfits) and disco night.all great fun.The chef had previously worked for raymond blanc at Le Manoir and the food was seriously outstanding.A personal favourite was the lunchtime the chef appeared out of thin air pushing a canoe of sushi in the swimming pool,which seemed even more surreal as Richard Branson joined us as we stood in the shallow end of the pool drinking champagne and eating sushi.All the staff without exception were tuned into what the guests needs were,without ever being pushy.For example if we wanted to go para gliding(all water sports are free) they would suggest the afternoon for paragliding and perhaps snorkeling of a morning when the weather was calmer.The only area that could have been improved was the room, which was rather small with no air con,which allowed a few mozzies into the room.However you are not in the room for very long so this is a minor point.If you truely want the best vacation in a beautiful location with amazing staff, excellent food and fantastic memories ,you will be very hard pressed to find anywhere better than Necker island.
