Preserving Nature - Eco Friendly
Fort Recovery has always been a place where you will see a palm tree growing through buildings, and through porches. We have remained very environmentally conscious with everything from preserving as many palm tress as possible, to keeping our small, private sandy beach as natural, and free 
of man-made alteration as we can. We believe that Tortola is as beautiful, exotic and unique today because the island itself is also conscious of these things. If you are looking for a place that still has lush rainforests, natural beaches, tropical exotic flora and wildlife, and a little bit of culture in some respects the same as it was a century ago, then Tortola is your island. This being said Tortola is not by any means technologically lacking. You will of course indulge in all of the comforts of home here at Fort Recovery such as air conditioned rooms, cable television, fully equipped kitchens and wireless internet access for only five ($5 U.S.) per day.
The island itself has multiple supermarkets, general stores, pharmacies, hospitals and all other necessities. 
Tortola and the Turtle that
came to stay...
Think of Tortola as 
your home unspoiled by modern society (pollutants, over-construction, over-population, food/store chains, etc) right in the beautiful and exotic Caribbean with a lovely cultural charm and pleasantness. Fort Recovery in fact has a Martello Tower designed Dutch Fort, for which the hotel's name is derived. The Fort is completely in tact and stands strong as if built yesterday. Upon the creation of Fort Recovery in 1969, a large number of cannonballs as well as a few pieces of eight were found on top of the Fort. History of the Fort and evidence found would indicate The Fort was used as means of defending the area against the British Naval ships that passed down the Sir Francis Drake Channel. This was inferred by historians the Dutch were protecting a large, fresh-water supply on the property and possibly other resources. At Fort Recovery we vigilantly protect all of our delicate ecosystems where everything is left unspoiled, but we admit to spoiling our guests!
In February of 2004, Fort Recovery had a truly remarkable surprise, when a female Turtle came to shore to lay her eggs on our beach's sand.
See below some of her footprints and babies crawling on our dock!
| February 4th, 2004 Mrs. Turtle came to Fort Recovery Beach and laid an unknown quantity of eggs. They are hopefully going to hatch between March 21 and April 10th. ----> | On December 4th, 2004 Mrs. Turtle's first hatchlings came to life. See below one of her babies about to jump into the Caribbean sea off of our dock to begin its new life! |
