We stayed at The Hideout from November 10 - 15 in the Harmony hut. Overall, it was a great vacation. The hut was extremely clean (thank you, Pauline!) and spacious. Each room had its own thermostat, which was great, as we all like different temperatures.

The living room area had a table and chairs, as well as a sofa and two arm chairs. In addition, the adjoining kitchen had bar stools. Plenty of seating if you are there with a large group in multiple huts. TVs have satellite and all the channels you would want.

Bedrooms are awesome! The most comfortable beds and high quality linen. Each bedroom had its own bathroom with walk-in shower. The bedrooms also have a large walk-in closet.

Kitchen is very nice. Full fridge, range top, microwave, pots, pans, glasses, and silverware. There is also a Keurig that is restocked daily.

The views from the Harmony hut were incredible. The whole side of the place consists of glass doors, so you get great views of the ocean. This view is really best at Harmony and two of the other huts.

The deck does have table, chairs, lounge chairs, and a plunge pool. It truly is just a plunge pool though.... very small.

The lower level of the hut has a big seating area and that is also where they replace your beach towels everyday. There is a walkway to the beach where there are reserved beach chair and umbrellas waiting for you.

The other nice thing is that you can call the front desk whenever you want a taxi. It is best to do that because the price will be lower than if you call a taxi on your own.

As for the beach and ocean....keep in mind that I'm used to staying on St John. I was surprised at all of the boats in White Bay. You can be swimming in the ocean and a boat will pull up to the beach right next to you. That was frustrating at times, but not the fault of Hendo's.....White Bay just doesn't seem to regulate the boats.

All in all, great vacation and I would highly recommend.

Just finished a 9 day start in Harmony Villa (beachfront 2 bedroom). It was absolutely blissful! Service at the Hideout was impeccable. From meeting us at the ferry dock and whisking us away to our own version of Heaven in the lush and secluded Hideout, to the amazing welcome drinks (I WILL figure out the recipe), to checking on us daily and arranging transportation whenever we needed it, service was impeccable! Regie, Pauline, and the rest of the staff were so pleasant and enthusiastic. We can’t wait to return and are already planning next year’s trip!

Of note: Room service from Hendo’s is offered, and at the same prices as if you were sitting in the restaurant- no room service upcharge!

Housekeeping services are offered daily

Guest services staff can arrange taxis, massages, etc-just give them a call!

Provisioning is available from multiple places and can be sent over via ferry. It’s a great way to save money, but be sure to budget to meals at all of the wonderful restaurants on JVD, especially Hendo’s and the Tipsy Shark!

White Bay is one of our favorite Caribbean beaches with its’ soft white sand and crystal clear water. Hendo’s is also one of our favorite places. There are seven villas on the property and we had the privilege of staying in three of them during our three week trip this past October 2024.
Reading the other reviews, we agree with all of them, so we are not repeating them here. All the staff are wonderful and engaging, and really work hard to make your vacation a stress free and relaxing one. For example, my wife was ill the last few days of the trip and the Chef prepared a special chicken noodle soup for her. Usually, when we go on vacation or a business trip, we cannot wait to get back to our own bed. Well, Hendo’s Villa’s changed that! The beds are heavenly plush with crisp white sheets, comforter and wonderful pillows, guaranteeing a restful nights sleep, along with the air conditioned room! The Villa’s large screen TV had a ton of channels, we were even able to watch the baseball playoff games. We loved the room service too, as some nights we just wanted to stay in the beautiful room. The beach is only a few steps away and you have exclusive use of the beach chairs and umbrellas for villa guests. A big thank you to all the staff and we will be going back asap!

Hendo's is a classy, comfortable, resort with beautiful views. The staff is friendly and courteous and go out of their way to pamper you. Service and accommodations are top notch. The villas have all you need including dishes, dishwashing liquid, bug spray, hand sanitizer, beach towels, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, coffee, tea, water, and provided a complementary beach bag as a gift. The deck is spacious with comfortable lounge chairs and a table and chairs as well. The inside decor is pleasing and the beds and furniture are comfortable. Fresh towels and a cooler with ice is provided each day. The staff are ready with a delicious welcome drink, as well as happy to make taxi and restaurant reservations for you. Reggie made sure we had all we had what we needed and met us at the ferry dock and took care of all reservations. If you want a laid back vacation in a high-end, private resort, Hendo's is the place to be.

Ahhhh Paradise! Our 2BR oceanfront villa was perfectly laid out. While providing privacy in each luxurious bedroom & ensuite bathroom, the center living area gave us a gorgeous area to mingle. The outdoor seating area and plunge pool were so private & relaxing! and that VIEW...unbelievable!!! The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you need! It was so nice to have provided for us: a welcome basket of goodies & snacks, bottled water, full sized dish detergent, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion AND beach towels. They literally thought of everything & I will say IF you need anything, the wonderful staff will take good care of you!
Thank you Nadia, Pauline, Saman, Regie, and so many more friendly faces that made our stay unforgettable! Can't wait to come back!

My husband and I celebrated a special birthday with a 10 day stay at this property in February 2023 and it was fabulous! The Hideout is the 'Ritz' of JVD with beautiful accommodations and wonderful, friendly service. Upon arrival we were greeted with cocktails and a thoughtful gift basket. Our Bali inspired bungalow was beachfront, and the view was amazing! The space itself was open concept with a large, comfortable king bed, kitchenette, sitting area with a large screen TV. The bathroom has a large walk-in shower for two, plenty of storage space for your travel items/clothes. Outside space is so convenient and comfortable offering very nice lounge furniture, table and chairs and even a dipping pool for cooling off right on your deck. Below the bungalow is a nice outdoor sitting area. The property was sparkling clean, and we enjoyed the daily maid service. The staff were always eager to assist us, always friendly and respected our privacy. Book it today if they have availability! You won't be disappointed. We will be back! Thank you, Nadia and staff, for a wonderful stay in Paradise!!

This was such a magical experience. The staff is incredible. The connected restaurant, Hendo’s, also went above and beyond for us at every turn. Everyone we met was committed to making our experience top tier. I am so sad to leave. The water was incredible, and the chair set up was just private enough, without being completely removed from the fun times next door at Hendo’s and the Soggy Dollar. DONT worry though, once you’re inside your villa, you can’t hear a thing outside, unless you fully open the doors and close your screens to sleep to the sounds of the ocean. If you have had enough of the beach simply come back to your villa and jump in the plunge pool and enjoy the jets, cool water, and sun on your face. We woke up very early every day and had the beach to ourselves until around 11 or Noon when the charters arrive & they leave by 3ish… still there is plenty of signage to make sure the hideout chairs, umbrellas, and tables remain private so the charter visitors respect the resort’s beachfront. I have to give a special shout out to the incredible friends and new family we made at hideout/hendos; Lydia, Reggie, Sam, Jocelle, Frank, Dwayne, Jane, Shannon, Nicolette, Jovian, Ghee… to name a few. They immediately took note of our favorite foods and drinks and went above and beyond for us. Not to mention, they were always friendly and happy to care for us. We are so grateful. Please do not miss the opportunity to come here. We are already wondering why we ever went anywhere else.

Visited in early June as first timers to BVI. Jocelle provided exceptional information and service prior to our visit through email, assuring us with details and directions. She went above and beyond by helping us move our reservation from January to June. After a very long travel journey, we were met at our ferry and transferred to the hotel by Reggie. He provided an expert tour of our room and the resort, helping us to settle in and relax. We found the resort more luxurious in person than online. All of the staff were helpful, kind and knowledgeable. We quickly learned that the resort is in the perfect location for all the local restaurants, bars and site seeing. We watching many families arriving by catamaran to enjoy what was within walking distance for us. We took a taxi to Foxy’s restaurant to experience the famous bbq, but Hendo’s, Soggy Dollar, Ivan’s, Coco’s were all easily accessible with a drink desired or in hand.

Hendo's Hideout is a magical place. Each time I visit, I feel more at home and less like wanting to leave. The management and staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and catered to. We enjoyed massages under the suites, room service, and more at one of the most relaxing properties I've ever visited. This was my second time staying this year, and I will certainly be back!

The Hideout is nothing short of magical! My husband and I spent a week in one of the beachfront 1-bedroom villas, Gratitude. The villa was gorgeous! It was spacious and well appointed, the bathroom was HUGE and the living area extremely comfortable. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck next to the plunge pool, watching the boats come into White Bay. The view is stunning! The location is impossible to beat, as there are multiple bars and restaurants within steps of the property. Nadia and Todd were excellent hosts and happy to help with anything we needed. The Villa was cleaned and restocked with coffee and clean towels each day while we were out, something no other property offers on Jost Van Dyke. We have been visiting this gem of an island for 17 years and this was easily our favorite stay - between the luxurious villa and the kind and helpful staff, it was an absolute dream vacation. Thank you! -Beth and Matt

Which airport is closest? Are small dogs allowed? Do you offer all inclusive packages?
Answer from Nadia D F
Road Town, Tortola
Hi Steve, Both airports are about 40 min away from Jost Van Dyke. The difference is it's a bit more costly to fly straight into the BVI as opposed to flying to the USVI and then getting a Ferry or Water taxi over to the BVI. At present pets are not allowed. We do not currently have any all inclusive packages.
