The Vue Pointe Hotel was opened in December of 1961. It was designed and built by Michael “Gen” Osborne assisted by his son Cedric R. Osborne, the present Managing Director. The hotel is located on a 5-acre bluff over looking Old Road Bay Beach and the Belham Valley. From the hotel, there are spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea, the Soufriere Hills Volcano, and the surrounding mountains. 

Prior to the devastation of Hurricane Hugo in September of 1989, the hotel offered 28 spacious cottages and 12 motel style rooms. During Hugo, the hotel was severely damaged. The roofs over the Main Building and Bar, the Conference Centre, seven cottages and four rooms were all destroyed. By 1994, we had rebuilt all but four rooms.  

In July of 1995, Montserrat was surprised by the eruption of our Soufriere Hills Volcano. Since that time we have relocated several times. Many inhabitants have lost their homes and valuable agricultural land and many have had to rebuild in the northern third of the island.  Eventually over 7,000 Montserratians migrated to other countries to seek employment, housing and education for their children. 

The Vue Pointe Hotel was closed for the first time in August of 1997 due to the escalation of volcanic activity. We employed 67 staff at that time and have sadly seen almost all of them migrate due to social and economic hardship. 

In September of 1998, the Government of Montserrat, on consultation with the Montserrat Volcano Observatory, deemed Old Towne to be once again safe for occupation. By December 2000, we had completely renovated 14 cottages and fitted some of them with fully equipped kitchenettes.  

In October of 2002 the scientists decided that once again, Old Towne may be in danger and we had to close the Vue Pointe and evacuate. We were allowed to reoccupy the hotel in August of 2003 after a major dome collapse of the volcano, which occurred on the 12th July 2003. Since that time, we have been refurbishing the hotel to be able to once again, welcome overnight guests.

Facilities at the Vue Pointe Hotel include a fresh water swimming pool, shuffle board, tennis court, paperback library, the Sea Wolf Diving School,  the Jumping Jack Beach bar and Carol's Corner Gift Shop.

Our restaurant in the Main Building is open and is offering breakfast, lunch and dinner daily.  

Our Michael “Gen” Osborne Conference Centre can accommodate over 150 persons in four air conditioned meeting rooms, where business mixes nicely with pleasure.

Taxi tours and rental jeeps can be arranged by request.

We are very grateful to our Caribbean staff who have weathered the last few years with us. They are here to ensure that your stay is pleasant and your requests are met.
