Bequia, St Vincent and the Grenadines

Virgin rating

The hotel

Your unspoilt slice of paradise, Bequia is rustic yet refined, and remote yet reachable. Just a quick flight from Barbados it couldn’t be further from their tourist trappings – and Bequia Beach Hotel is the very epitome of its untouched beauty. Hidden away in tropical gardens of almond trees, mangos, limes, and papaya, cradling two stunning pools  - one of which being a brand new saltwater infinity pool - it’s not content with just sitting along the glorious sands of Friendship Beach, there's also nearby Princess Margaret Beach, where you can sit above cashmere sands at Jack’s Beach Bar, gazing out at distant boats. A complete one-off, the hotel’s filled with the owner’s travel mementoes, has unparalleled views of distant Grenadine islands, and brings you unforgettable dining by the beach at Bagatelle.

Fantastic experience from the moment we stepped onto the private transfer plane and were transported to the hotel. Beautiful grounds with stunning rooms and facilities. The views over the sea and the forest are spectacular and the staff are amongst the friendliest and most efficient I've ever see. The food is first calls and Jacks Bar is not to be missed - there's even a free shuttle to take you there but if you fancy a walk it's only 20 minutes - nothing too challenging and all safe to walk. I really can't rate this highly enough. It does take a bit of co-ordination to get there but if you contact the hotel directly they'll advise you how to stitch it all together - it all revolves around flight timings as the transfer plane can't land after sunset. We opted to have an overnight in Barbados then flew out the next afternoon which worked out well. Thanks to all the staff for a brilliant stay! I'd advise you to do a bit of research into the dining options - we had a bit of confusion over ours which was sorted out but the reality is that there's not that many places apart from the hotel (including Jacks Bar which is part of it) and Port Elizabeth for food. You'll probably end up eating in the hotel at least a few times as it's so good! So if you don't want to travel to eat and drink then the AI might just be worth it - by the time we'd totted it all up it worked out about even but it depends how much you want to indulge! Lovely hotel on a great little island! Read less

My only gripe was that the food service could sometimes be very slow which is a shame as otherwise this would have been a five star review. However, it certainly has not put me off wanting to return.

We had a great stay in 2019 but our recent stay was very disappointing. Lack of entertainment, ( unlike 2019), poor overall service, disappointing food particularly breakfast.( lack of fruit choice)..

The location and situation of the hotel and accommodation right beside the beach and sea at Friendship Bay is stunningly beautiful. The Reception and staff service is generally good and very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 night stay with 7 other friends. The cuisine was good but the dinner offering should be of a higher standard. The staff were always kind and helpful but the service was generally slow and rather disorganised. They also need dedicated bar staff at “The Bagatelle” bar who can serve drinks and mix cocktails etc quickly. The provision of drinks was far too slow particularly before dinner. We liked “Jack’s Bar” (part of the hotel) at Princess Margaret Beach, where the all round service was excellent. Read less

Thoroughly enjoyed the Palm Villa experience. Friendly staff all around. The beach views from the restaurant are great! Dinner with the sound of crashing waves. Property is well-maintained. Looking forward to our next visit!
