The runt needed human help so one of our group took him to just above the water line and we all watched as it grew stronger and was swept up by a gentle wave. The turtle hatching was an unexpected treat during our visit to the Lambert Beach Resort on Tortola's undeveloped East End. Tortola is more laid back than most Caribbean Islands. The news comes via New York Times Fax on mornings when the office staff gets around to printing it out. The Resort has a huge swimming pool, tennis courts, and a game room where there is a TV in case you just can't miss the big game.
Guest rooms are large and plain with painted wooden furniture.
There is a ceiling fan and air conditioning. On the veranda a wet bar has a small refrigerator and a sink. The bathrooms are finished with italian tile and feature a stall shower with plenty of hot water and a small basket of shampoo and other amenities. Jasmine's, the beach restaurant offers a standard breakfast,a lunch menu that includes salads and sandwiches and two daily soup specials. The dinner menu had a couple of daily specials, plus steak, pork cutlets and crispy duck with a mango and peppercorn sauce.
