Bequia Beach Hotel

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.

I don’t often write reviews but BBH is special and therefore deserves a review. Staying here is like staying with family. The staff are outstanding - a special shout out for Desron, Annelle, Serena, Kevin and Roger. The service is exceptional and attention to detail excellent. We stayed in an oceanfront suite - definitely worth it for the views. Bagatelle restaurant was really good for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is a boutique resort for both couples and families. We had a personal tour of the new villas that have been built - wow! We stayed one week in Barbados and then took the Bequiair flight transfer. I would do it the other way around next time if booking a twin-centre trip and start at BBH. Only because any flight delays mean you are stuck at the airport with a long wait, or in our case a cancelled flight and then the stress of finding overnight accommodation. Don’t hesitate to book here - we will be back! Read less

We stayed here for 10 nights at the end of March in a first floor room ( room 34) . We had a great time. This hotel was perfect for what we wanted- peace and rest.

We stayed here for 10 nights at the end of March in a first floor room ( room 34) . We had a great time. This hotel was perfect for what we wanted- peace and rest. The room was large, well kitted out and had a big balcony. The view was lovely across the gardens to the sea. The aircon was effective and the bathroom had a great shower and 2 sinks. The grounds of the hotel a very well kept, as is the beach area. There were loads of loungers round the pools and along the beach front and we managed to find plenty of shade. You could walk along the beach to the hotel’s small beach bar (Sand bar) and the main restaurant for dinner and breakfast is directly on the water with a sea breeze. The staff were very friendly and hard working. We chose the half board option and enjoyed a good breakfast and then a 3 course evening meal at either the bagatelle main restaurant, the smaller blue tropic restaurant or over at Jack’s beach bar at princess Margaret bay ( a taxi ride away) which is also owned by BBH. The food was generally good with a lot of fish and seafood which we enjoyed. As Friendship bay is on the south east side of the island the beach did get some bigger waves a few of the days we were there but we still swam most days. This stretch of beach is very peaceful and the view is gorgeous across to Mustique. The hotel offers a daily shuttle ( taking 5/10mins) across to the Princess Margaret beach where guests can get a lounger etc at Jacks’s bar. This is a very calm waters beach but it get’s busier. You can walk from there into the town along a boardwalk. If you want a relaxing and quiet stay in a very low key and friendly Caribbean island choose Bequia and this hotel. Read less

Quite an amazing place with an unbelievable attention to detail. The rooms are beautiful and well positioned and the complex is easy to get round.

Quite an amazing place with an unbelievable attention to detail. The rooms are beautiful and well positioned and the complex is easy to get round. Arriving by their private jet and being collected by the owners son gives you a feeling of importance. One gripe, and it's an important one, is the lack of any cohesion in the dining area. They need someone in charge to ensure that there is sufficient food, crockery and cutlery and that tables are cleared and reset promptly. This shouldn't be happening at such an expensive hotel; it has been mentioned by others over at least the past twelve months and, whilst acknowledged, has not improved. Going to dine should be a relaxed experience rather than it being approached with a feeling of uncertainty in relation to what you may encounter. Read less

Absolutely wonderful stay from start to finish. Easy travelling through Barbados, where we were seamlessly guided through to transit and our waiting BBH plane. The room was beautiful and kept immaculately by the lovely housemaids. This is a piece of retro Caribbean, not glitzy and flashy but classy and laid back. The beach, the pools and the fabulous gardens are all kept in fantastic shape and there is so much space, never crowded. There are numerous restaurant options and all of the hotel venues are great in different ways. We loved having lunches and dinners by the sea at Bagatelle, the Italian restaurant is fabulous and several times had a really great lady playing guitar and singing. Jack’s is lively and fun with great food and the Sandbar is a brilliant addition to stroll to during the day. Across all those areas and the whole hotel the staff are standout fantastic - efficient, charming and great fun. We’re already booked to go back and after 20+ trips to these islands would not dream of going anywhere but BBH in the future! Read less

I really wanted to give this property full points because it was supposed to be the highlight at the end of my trip.

I really wanted to give this property full points because it was supposed to be the highlight at the end of my trip. Unfortunately, it does neither live up to the 5 stars nor to the price, especially compared to other properties in this price range on other tropical islands like St. Lucia or Mauritius. The biggest disappointment for me was breakfast. Service, attitude of staff, selection, presentation and quality of food was way below par. Order the Eggs Florentine from the kitchen - that's the only dish ok in taste and presentation. I really liked my room and its view (room 2). I had two Hot Stone massages which were amazing. The beach was a disappointment for me and it clearly doesn't live up to the expactations you have after you have seen photos online. Communication before arrival was a bit difficult and I would expext the taxi from and to the ferry for free at this price point (for everyone, not only when you are staying there for 3 nights+). All in all it was an OK stay, but I wanted it to be amazing. Read less
