We had the most amazing wedding last year in Bequia and the wedding party stayed at the Old Fort for a week. Choosing to stay at the OF with our loved ones made our wedding even more special and meaningful than we could ever imagine. The week we spent at the Old Fort was and will always be one of... More

From the first moment we arrived we loved this guesthouse, high on the hill of Mount Pleasant and with breath-taking views. We would recommend it to anyone. We chose to "hedge our bets" with a 4-day stay at The Old Fort and a 5-day stay at the Bequia Beach hotel, so that we got plantation style character as well as... More

The Old Fort was delightful for our group of 20. We really enjoyed the panoramic views. The staff was polite, competent and provided for every need including gourmet meals on site. The rooms are nicely appointed with comfortable furnishings. The owner checked on us frequently, telling us about the Old Fort and the rest of the island. He arranged several... More

To stay at the Old Fort at the top of Mount Pleasant, is to experience a different side of Bequia that is unique. Its a part of Bequia that most people don't experience, and to enter the Old Fort is like going back in time and being a part of a different life style. The views across the waters on... More

This was a week to remember at the Old Fort. We were there for a wedding and it was by far the most memorable vacation I have ever had. We had the sunroom on the top floor, and the view was amazing. This place is charming and very private, there are no TVs for a restful vacation, there is WIFI... More

Located among the beautiful and unscathed Grenadine islands, the Old Fort sits atop Mount Pleasant on Bequia, the most charismatic of them all. I wanted a private, quiet, romantic, non standard, warm, totally relaxing, fun but very interesting place to visit on our very special 11-11-11 vacation. My research brought me to the Old Fort as fitting the entire expectation... More

After visiting over 40 islands in the Caribbean, Bequia offers the "true Caribbean experience." This is not your average getaway with an ocean view. It is a crafted space, filled with character at every corner. I had the pleasure of staying for three weeks and enjoyed every bit of space I could explore. If you have a choice of islands... More

Bequia is one of very few unspoiled islands in the Caribbean. The Old Fort sits atop a hill overlooking the beautiful Caribbean and you are able to see several of the other Grenadine islands from the fort. If you are traveling with kids, it might not be the "hot spot entertaining spot" you are looking for. There are no TV's,... More

Our 8 night stay at the Old Fort was just perfect. The property is truly one of a kind with historic buildings, a beautiful pool, breathtaking views, and even a pair of friendly resident donkeys. We were able to fully relax and take in all that Bequia has to offer stressed out people in need of a vacation! Can't wait... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Old Fort is the only fully restored historic plantation in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, dating back to the 18th-century when the first French settlers migrated to the West Indies. It is ideal for guests that are seeking something different to the ordinary and those who want utmost relaxation and tranquillity. We have been recommended by various international publications as the perfect place to go and unwind, with an exceptional venue that can host any type of special event such as a wedding or a large group get-together. No wonder that numerous celebrities have visited and stayed at The Old Fort throughout the 3 decades that we have been in operation!Extremely private yet only minutes away from the best beaches on the island, we are proud to offer a hard-to-find classical ambiance in a beautiful natural setting. The Old Fort has a breath-taking location on the top of a large estate that stretches from the hillside all the way down to the Atlantic Ocean. Spectacular views overlook the horizon and the numerous eastern and southern Grenadine islands. Not only can one see Bequia's close neighbour, the chic island Mustique, but on a clear day even as far as distant Grenada, which lies over 50 miles away beyond the Grenadines. The Old Fort’s property interiors have been charmingly decorated, with large spacious suites and rooms, all possessing their own character and flair. The numerous indoor and outdoor sitting areas allow one to enjoy the lush tropical gardens and views to the fullest. Several trails lead through the estate from where one can discover many wonders of nature, including local bird species, tortoises, and bright green-coloured iguanas. The Old Fort is also a superb location to enjoy stargazing at night! Seeing really is believing and our image gallery, as good as it may be, cannot justify the real feel of this unique enchanting property! ... more   less
