Bequia Beach Hotel

My wife and I stayed in the hotel for 9 nights in January. The hotel is very well run and both the owners and senior management are very hands on, along with a great group of friendly staff. The hotel is in a great quiet position and sat on a lovely beach with the livelier Port Elizabeth only a $10 taxi trip away in an open back pick up truck serviced by Gideon Taxi service who were also very reliable and very nice guys. The hotel also own a great beach bar/restaurant on Princess Margaret Beach called "Jacks" and a free return taxi trip is offered each day and why not catch a local boat taxi to a floating bar in the bay run by two local lads ! Bequia Beach Hotel is probably the best hotel on the island with two very good restaurants and was a great option to our local holiday spot of Barbados. I am sure you will not be disappointed !!

We were there last week of December, very busy time, but the structure is so well done that you never have the sensation of a busy place; the staff is very reactive and supportive; beautiful beach; very good breakfast; the spa has a very high level of services. Very beautiful place, I would have no doubt to come back.

The hotel is tucked a few minutes’ drive away from the “hustle” of Port Elizabeth with a beautiful beach front location at Friendship Bay. The staff are attentive and friendly, and not one person provided anything but excellent service to me while I was there. From the welcome drink and throughout my stay, they made me feel like nothing was a problem, anything I required could be arranged, and all would be well. My luggage was delayed and they actively followed up with the airline and collected it from the Bequia airport for me, even assisting me with obtaining one or two essentials to tide me over until my luggage eventually arrived. I stayed in a Classic room and it was sufficiently spacious, with a mini fridge and tea/coffee station, and turndown service was offered in the evening. The couple of times I ordered room service it came very quickly. There was no TV in my room (nor in any room, I think), but there was WiFi around the property and a reading room where guests can take and leave books. The property is well maintained and the grounds are beautifully manicured. There are several lounge chairs with umbrellas and side tables already in place beachside where one can easily spend several hours relaxing, sipping a cocktail and enjoying the steady sea breezes. In terms of cons: - Unless you are sitting in one of the aforementioned lounge chairs enjoying the sea breeze, you likely will be a target for some of the many mosquitoes that call Bequia home. The hotel does provide repellent and mosquito nets, though. - The rooms are scattered throughout the property, including on the hillside, and there are no elevators. Walking up and down steps to get to my room was not an issue for me but, if someone has mobility issues, that should be mentioned at time of booking to ensure that a suitable room is allocated. - Because of the layout and the climate, there is a chance of getting wet in the event of rain. However, the hotel has several umbrellas available for the use of guests, including in the room. Overall, I had a lovely stay and have no problem recommending Bequia Beach Hotel to others.
