We recently stayed for 14 nights at this lovely hotel in an idyllic setting on a beautiful island
A haven of peace and tranquillity in extensive and very well kept grounds with a lovely swimming pool
We chose a Beachfront Suite and were delighted with the spacious accommodation and terrace
We chose B & B which is our preferred option as it gave more freedom to explore other dining options in Port Elizabeth and other parts of the island ( if needs be ) but in the main we dined at the hotel mainly at the Bagatelle beachfront restaurant but also on three occasions ( for contrasting cuisine and a change of scene ) at the Blue Tropic Italian Restaurant in a cosy peaceful setting on the hillside within the Hotel grounds
We very much appreciated the wonderful “Jean” at the egg station at breakfast at the Bagatelle whose omelettes were absolutely lovely and a “ must “ each day
All members of the team on reception/ guest relations were very helpful indeed - nothing was too much trouble
The service throughout the hotel was excellent and in many cases it was exceptional
A special mention to Kareem , Isola , Emmanuel , Candy , Jean and Colin who went out of their way to be especially helpful
The thatched parasols on the beach were a nice touch but there were not nearly enough of them
Would we recommend the hotel “ Yes “ - would we return “Yes “
A big thank you to all the wonderful staff for making our holiday so enjoyable

Bequia Beach Hotel and Bequia itself is time well spent. I am still kicking myself that I did not stay longer. It was paradise found and now I long for more. The owner Bengt, who frequents the hotel, mingles and connects with guests and his friendly and professional staff make this a phenomenal experience. The attention to detail is seen in the stylish, eclectic-Caribbean décor, beautifully manicured property and right down to the fact that every sheet and napkin is hand ironed on the property. Shay who works on the beach/water sport recreation was all smiles, helpful and did not judge my stand up paddles board skills (or lack of), Donna from housekeeping found sunscreen and après lotion for me when I ran out! And the front desk staff is the sweetest and so helpful.
I enjoyed the sunset cruise on the hotel owned superyacht “Star of the Sea” and the bartender Peter (who also tends bar at the hotel), immediately remembered my friends and my drink. It was the dot on the ‘i’ in impeccable service.
The hotel itself, the staff and small beautiful, but vibrant island make this a location that I plan to return to with friends. Sooner than later. I feel I found a gem in the Caribbean that no one knows about, which is partly why I nearly hesitate to share and write a review. However, the undeniably above and beyond service I got to experience by Bequia Beach Hotel deserves a big shout out and for more good people to experience and visit Bequia.

Tips:
-Explore the island and all the views.
-Jack’s Beach Bar, walk or take hotel shuttle over to the hotel beach bar on opposite side of island.
-Take part in the morning yoga sessions that are held outside on a platform by the beach. I don’t do yoga on the regular, but really enjoyed it.

Other:
-Superb, spotless bathroom and rooms
-Island taxis are all charming pickup trucks that you hop in the back of. Makes this island even more fun and adventures.
-WIFI is excellent, although I recommend turning off all distractions and exploring and getting to know new friends on Bequia.
-British outlets

The hotel is mainly for older clients, there is not much for children to do. The beach is on the atlantic side so was too rough for swimming when we were there. However the pool was excellent with good bar service. There is a shuttle service to another beach on the Caribbean side which had good swimming, good loungers and a restaurant and bar.
We booked a classic room but were unaware that it was up the hillside 81 steps (no lift). The brochure just shows it adjacent to a pool which most people might assume is at ground level. We declined the room in view of the steps and they found us a ground floor room instead.
The main restaurant has a good variety of choice and good service with a nice ambience. Once a week they have a lobster night. The lobsters were excellent but only one chef with one barbecue was on duty for several hundred customers. This meant queuing for 20-30 minutes!
All prices were in USD which is not very convenient for British clients.
Overall 4* not 5*.
