I just returned from what was supposed to be a 10 day vacation in this “luxury villa” at The Liming!!! We left after 3 days (only because we couldn’t fly out any sooner)! The place is completely DILAPIDATED, MOLD-RIDDEN, and MOUSE-INFESTED? Beware! The photos advertising this place throughout the internet, were probably taken over 20 years ago! The fact that there was a dead mouse laying in the middle of the living room when we arrived, was clearly the first sign of things to come! The furniture is old, stained and worn. Doors and woodwork throughout the house….old and cracking. Paint is peeling through the place. The faucets/shower fixtures in the bathrooms are corroded, escutcheons are missing. Mold is evident on the exterior of the property as well as all around the pool decking. Electrical outlets on the walls are loose and crooked. The stainless on the stove/hood and throughout the kitchen is discolored from moisture and heat (the kitchen isn’t air-conditioned. There was an air-conditioner present but non-functional). When we opened the dishwasher the day after arrival, the stench could’ve knocked you over! It was clearly non-functional and the mold growing inside it was incredible (hence the foul-odor!). The windows throughout the house were filthy. The dining room chairs were so stained and dirty, we were compelled to cover them with beach towels before we even sat down. We found mouse droppings behind the TV unit and inside the electrical outlet (that was not covered) in the “media room” (which explained the dead mouse on arrival). The place was clearly infested. We were told (only upon arrival) that the house ran on collected rain water, that the water coming out of the faucets was not safe to drink, and that only the ice-maker was “filtered”. The water coming out of the faucets was literally yellow/brown! We had to shower in brackish water for 3 days! They advertise that a private BBQ chef can come and prepare a meal for you and your guests at $150pp, but the BBQ pit is not even finished (construction)? The entire place is an un-sanitary, health-hazard!! The resort’s restaurant is a complete other story. The food is lack-luster. The first night we were there, we ordered fish. The odor of it when it was brought to the table was off-putting enough. You couldn’t even get the fish to pull away from its bones. It was simply inedible. The next morning we went down for breakfast and I ordered a fruit plate. It had 4 pieces of fruit on it!! So I then requested an additional croissant only to be told that they were “all out”. We went to breakfast at 8:30a! The next day we ordered fries at lunch, only to be told they were “all out of fries”. The third day we wanted an omelet with cheese and were told they were “all out” of cheese!! To top this off, there were a group of feral cats that appeared every day at the restaurant….that proceeded to jump onto the tables (after guests departed) to eat whatever was left on their plates!! This was by far the worst vacation I have ever experienced. What you see on-line is not at all what you get! We were a group of 5 that traveled from the US and France to get here. We were grateful that the hotel refunded our unused nights, but they still charged us $5000US (daylight robbery for the accommodations provided) for the 3 nights we had to stay there!!! Not to mention the cost to re-arrange everyone’s flights to get out of that place and back to a safe/clean/sanitary environment. Simply unbelievable! Read less

My husband and I recently traveled to Bequia and stayed at the Liming Resort. The travel to get there was extensive but well worth it. Upon arrival we got upgraded and enjoyed the beach, the people, and the food. Staff was friendly and attentive! The resort had a beautiful view and was very relaxing, it had beach games and vast amounts of privacy whether you lounge by the beach or the private pool. Angel, the resort dog, was sweet and friendly. It was a perfect getaway to a hidden gem! We will be back. Read less

This was our second visit to The Liming staying in the one bed villa and what a contrast. Sadly, for a luxury hotel it fell very short and felt neglected. Just to mention a few of the issues which need addressing, the cleanliness of the rooms. The entrance door to the villa was very dirty, the shower floor and shower wall tile was mouldy and dirty, the shelf below the bathroom window had a previous occupants hair along with dust , the bathroom window had what looked like a piece of carpet secured with duck tape. Surely a roller blind would appropriately screen for the privacy needed. The toilet brush handle was missing, although when mentioned was replaced with a plastic one. Some of the walls including the entrance wall to the shower were dirty. The skirt around the bed had fallen below its knees and could not be pulled up. The closet doors around the hand pull were dirty. The towels were hard and off white. The sheets were off white and greyish, thin and worn. The interior doors went from white to yellow. The living room rug was worn and stained. The blade of the ceiling fan was very dusty. Turndown service was inconsistent. All in all with some attention this could’ve been a truly amazing experience again, It is a beautiful location, the restaurant service staff was great but the condition of the Villa was disappointing and it felt like some of the staff had adopted ‘ the art of doing nothing’.

We stayed at the Liming for nine nights. On entering the Liming into the main reception/restaurant area, which definitely has that architectural wow factor, we felt that this was going to be a really special place to stay. Our room was beautiful, the bed was very comfortable, the attention to detail was perfect and the Elemis toiletries were an additional lovely touch. The room was spotlessly clean and the housekeeping team were amazing! The Manager ensures he is accessible to all guests and visitors and the whole team of staff at the Liming are truly wonderful. The food is fabulous and the ambience is relaxing but not pretentious …a balance which isn’t always easy to create. We swam in the sea, having the beach practically to ourselves, we walked miles and enjoyed visiting Paget farm….getting to know a few locals. It was really easy to taxi into town and try different restaurants. This is our third visit to the Island of Bequia and our first to the Liming, it definitely won’t be our last. Thank you to the whole Liming team, we had a fabulous stay. Read less
