Bequia Beach Hotel

Very recently returned from a lovely holiday at the Bequia hotel. Probably extremely fortunate to enjoy this special time immediately prior to the dreadful situation the world is now facing. As so many reviews say, this is a lovely resort, probably made by a few particular factors. The staff who are customer facing are absolutely fantastic. It’s always difficult to name but a few, but I will highlight Candy, Shaun and Shacq behind the bar, and Samuel in the dining room. We really enjoyed the food, although the menu was rather repetitive and I was quite surprised to see exactly the same menu twice in three days . Because we like the food this wasn’t a problem for us. The wine was much better than other we had experienced on other all-inclusive packages in the Caribbean and the array of cocktails etc. was excellent. The beach which is accessed directly from the hotel is lovely, although on a couple of days the waves were quite significant. We also went over to the other side of the island on the hotel shuttle bus and visited Jack’s bar where the beach is much busy but the water is calmer. We stayed on the all-inclusive package which was quite a relief as we do like eating and drinking. Many reviews have mentioned how beautiful the ocean view rooms are I have no doubt that they are indeed great. We stayed in the garden facing rooms which were perfectly nice, but I would stress that they are up the hill mainly accessed via multiple steps and if you have any mobility problems this could be difficult. My main suggestion for the hotel would be to increase the visibility of the supervisory and management staff. I’m used to hotels where the customer services team and indeed section heads actually come round and talk to clients daily. This didn’t happen and I have to note that it did take three days to get what was a serious health and safety issue resolved never mind the inconvenience that the particular problem was causing in our room. We were a couple in our early 60s and we did meet some really charming people and had great fun. However we did feel that the main clientele attracted to the hotel was a much older age group. This was probably reflected in the quietness of the bar at night. Overall a fantastic holiday and I really hope the hotel survives this current crisis.

Delightful place to stay and relax. Very friendly, the owner even greeted us in Barbados! Lovely room and fabulous beach. WiFi rather intermittent but who cares. Breakfast good but some other meals less appealing as I am not too good with sea food. Would love to return!

We had a wonderful 6 night stay in March. The staff was extremely friendly and efficient (especially Rima, Abdul, Tatiana and Kareem), the food was delicious, our cottage (Tobago Keys #807) was very comfortable and the beach lovely. Live music (until 10:30pm) was entertaining. The free shuttle to Port Elizabeth was convenient. Only the optional excursions need to be improved (the only grumpy islander we met all week was the guide for our island tour. He also overcharged us $11. The Mustique boat excursion was enjoyable but needs to be organized better.) Overall rating: A.
