Skyworld, or now Sky Restaurant is only a shadow of its former self. The food may be good, but the building is shabby, sort of unkept. Also a little hard to find.

The view of Tortola from the roof of Sky/Skyworld is breathtaking. The climb is worth it. We met the Scotsman, Alan. He's definitely a character. But in no way offensive or rude. Possibly brusque. I had no idea that this was also a restaurant, seemed a bit run down. We ( a tour group, a cruise ship outing) all thought... More

Went to Sky World with my husband and two children (ages 4 & 2) at 5pm for Happy Hour and dinner. It was great. The kids loved the Tempua and my husband and I got to have Indian food and Sushi. More

We took a taxi (US $12) from the cruise terminal up to Skyworld, and then to the J. R. O’Neal botanical garden. No admission charge, but they served food and drinks with a great view. The roof of Skyworld had great views of Tortola and the neighboring islands, and from there, The roads were steep, narrow, and wound around blind... More

Returned from our trip to Tortola and had some recommendations as far as eating establishments.... DO NOT go to Skyworld! We went because we heard so much about this place and had to try it out. When we arrived (at night) there were large moths flying around over the tables and landing on the tables. The host decided that, since... More

Went to Skyworld in 2000 with a group of friends before we took a Windjammer cruise. The view is spectacular, the drinks are great and the food is delicious. Went back in 2002 with my wife and it was just as we remembered it. Am going back again in June with some friends on a bareboat and we expect it... More
