A fantastic hidden gem. The Ocean Suites are tastefully furnished with stunning Caribbean Antiques and splashes of sophisticated colour- but still with all the modern luxuries of AC, free wireless and luxury spacious bathrooms. Although still awaiting a main pool and reception area- the hotel is small and family run, intimate and cosy. Great food, great service! Definitely going back! |

I contacted Richmond Vale Hiking Center on the north leeward side of the island to do a hike up the volcano. They were extremely friendly, and the price was reasonable. I would highly recommend them for their services, as I wouldn't want to hike up there alone. I know they do other hikes in the area as well, like to Trinity Falls. They do hikes with horses as well. I didn't sleep there, but they have very low-cost rooms that is good on a backpacker's budget. |

This is a very comfortable stay while on the island for Vincy Mas. It's in a nice neighborhood, and very close to airport (as well as the town). It offers a great view from the balcony and dining area. Bequia can be seen from the balconies, too. There is also a beach within walking distance. The staff is very warm and welcoming. I am looking forward to my next stay here! Thanks to Michael for providing a great time here. |

Petit St. Vincent was without a doubt, the most incredible vacation my wife and I have ever taken. The island staff was there to greet us after our long flight with drinks and a car to take us to our cottage. The rooms were very nice and cozy, although no air conditioning in August was a bit warm. We loved the fact that you could have all the privacy you could want or interaction at the restaurant and bar. There are plenty of activities, other than relaxation, such as snorkeling, tennis, kayaking, sailing and hiking. The main attraction for us was the day trip on the Windward Schooner. The only negative was that there was no air conditioning, but fans were provided. Also, there was lots of coral and rock just off the beach. They provided water shoes upon arrival, and some cottages had less coral on their beach access than others. We can't wait to go back. |

The Richview Guesthouse possesses a clean, warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff is dedicated and willing to go the extra mile to make sure the guests are comfortable. Michael is the consumate host. I don't know how he does it, but he makes sure all of his guests are transported to and from their various destination, and their needs are taken care of. I highly recommend the Richview as your choice of accommodation. |

It was alright - apart from the fact it was right next door was a prison, and if you walked by, you could hear people screaming. Also, there was a huge street party going on, and a dark alley right outside our window. As we looked outside, we got a great view of homeless people, and random folks coming through yelling and urinating in the street. There was also a man slamming his door late at night. When we looked outside, he was standing there in a towel. It was not what I wanted to see just before I went to sleep. The architecture was great. The rooms were pleasant and simple. Also, the breakfast was good. However, there was not a lot of food per person. There was no room service, either. Finally, the smell of the streets outside permeated most of the inside of the hotel. Otherwise, it was quite pleasant. |

I spent a wonderful weekend at the Richview in St. Vincent. Everything went perfect. After my arrival, I was picked up by car by the owner, Michael. He was a very friendly and polite guy. And the drive to the guesthouse from the airport was just five minutes away. Everything was comfortable. My room was clean and very spacious. The staff was very friendly, and Michael was really helpful. Because I was by myself, Michael offered to show me the capital of St. Vincent, Kingstown (and the rest of the island). He gave me a lot of background information, too. Unfortunately, I had to leave the very next day so Michael brought me back to the airport. I would definitely choose my next stay to be on this unique island and at Richview. I could also recommend this guesthouse without any doubt. I hope to see Michael and his crew again very shortly. |

My husband and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary at Richview Apartment Hotel. It was a breathtaking experience for us. We enjoyed our entire stay. It is a memory which will stay with us forever. We arrived Friday night, and Michael (the owner) was there to pick us up at the airport in his Safari-looking jeep. Our first impression of Michael was that he was very warm, kind and friendly. He took us to our room - which was very spacious and homey. The overall view of the building was all about its unique, yet colonial style. In the morning, we enjoyed the view out on the balcony of our room. The Grenadine Island, known as Bequia Island, could be seen through an immense mass of water. It was a very beautiful sight. There was a beach down the street from Richview, and the airport was about three minutes away. As we sat outside, we saw several aircrafts landing. After having a Caribbean Style breakfast, Michael took us down to the capital Kingstown. The shopping was fairly good, and the people are very friendly. Richview was located between the airport and Kingstown. It was very convenient. After speaking with the friendly staff at the hotel, Michael dropped us at the port where we took the ferry to go to Bequia Island. It took us one hour to get to Bequia Island. The beaches had white sand, and the water was very appealing. Michael also took us sightseeing to Fort Charlotte and the lighthouse. He also took us to the country side of St. Vincent, and to the Montreal Gardens. When we left, Michael even dropped us off at the airport - even though our flight was 6:00 am. That's one nice quality about Michael, he was always willing to assist in any way he could. His staff was quite accommodating. When we returned home to Trinidad, we certainly missed the staff at Richview, and hope to see them again. May God bless Michael and his staff at Richview. |

We liked the look of Rich View Guest House. After contacting the staff, seeing the photographs and looking at the very reasonable prices, we decided to stay here for our honeymoon. We arrived from Trinidad on a LIAT flight, which was very efficient. Michael, the owner of Richview, was there to meet us, and he drove us to the guest house. Our first sight of Richview was delightful. It was grand and modern-looking, with a touch of old colonial design. After settling in our room, Michael kindly arranged hire of a jeep (essential with some of the roads in St. Vincent being rather steep and bumpy!). We'd recommend Forrest's Car Hire. They also do a taxi service. Our room was comfortable and modern, and the views out to sea were breathtaking. From our own private and spacious balcony, we could see the Island of Bequia (the closest of the Grenadine Islands). We also had a delicious freshly prepared breakfast each morning, and we used the laundry service, again priced very reasonably. Also available for hire was Internet connection - complete with computer! Richview was located between the airport and the principal town of Kings Town. The guest house was also centrally located for traveling around St. Vincent. To get from the northeast to the northwest of the island, there was only one main road, which ran around the coast like a "horseshoe". Richview was located a short drive away from the main road, just about half way around the main road. There were also some beautiful beaches close by. We really could not find any fault with our stay (apart from the fact that we wish we could have stayed longer!). Michael and his staff were very courteous and helpful, and by the time we left, we felt like "one of the family", rather than guests. We happily recommend Richview as a place to stay when in St. Vincent. We both hope to return again! A big thank you goes out to Michael and his staff. God bless you, and we hope to make a return visit! |

My best friend and I ran away from our families for a short vacation. We decided to spend two days in Bequia, and we stayed at the Frangipani. We were delightfully suprised, but you must stay in the room at the top that have the air conditioning. I didn't think the other accommodations were as good. The room was beautiful, and the AC was great. The terrace was wonderful. There were no mosquitoes in the room, but in the restaurant and bar had plenty. The barbeque was overpriced, but you are on vacation, and most things are. You must have the Key Lime pie. It was the best in the world. |

My family and I stayed here while attending a wedding in Bequia. I would have easily given it a four-star rating, except for the mosquitoes. They were numerous, the nets had so many holes. The children were covered with bites. Also, my kids were afraid fo dogs, and there were a few on the property. They did not belong to anyone at the property. Cilla was the best host, and did her best to get rid of the dogs, which kept the children from going to the pool. |

I was trying to decide on somewhere in the Caribbean that was strategic for a honeymoon. I decided to give St. Vincent a try and, naturally, I had to find a place that was ideal. I needed somewhere that was not too expensive, had a great ocean view, was quiet, employed friendly staff, and was in close proximity to the airport. I was also looking for a clean facility, with Internet access, A/C, good food, and other creature comforts. After doing a thorough search and weighing my options, I realized that Richview Guesthouse met all the criteria. After visiting here, I was not disappointed at all. Hats off to Michael and Laverne, the managers. |

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience at Richview. It was a clean, comfortable, and relaxing home away from home. The owner, Michael, and all his staff were wonderful, making sure that we enjoyed our first trip to St. Vincent. We will definitely go back again, and recommend it to anybody visiting SVG. Thanks Michael! |

The view from the hotel room was absolutely wonderful. The staff was friendly and willing to help with everything. The rooms were big and clean, the food was good, and there was a beautiful quiet beach nearby where you can swim in blue warm water. It was paradise. The staff and the hotel manager, with their personal approach, make you feel good being here. |

I celebrated my 70th birthday with my family here. We had a total of 11 people - ranging from 2 to 70. The accommodations were great, and the staff was wonderful. The house manager, Arlene Connell, was most accommodating. My only complaint was the food. However, it didn't seem like there was any great food on island. Except for that, I would most highly recommend Spring House. |

if you are going to be a successful site with accurate information, al least make it formal! there are many gramatical errors as well as spelling. please correct. you should also have at least SOME pictures of restaurants available due to the nature that some children need photos for reports. WhereToStay.com reply: Thanks for you comments. By allowing our readers to post information, it does open us up to having some errors on the site until our editors have a chance to review them. BTW, I think you meant "at least" and you misspelled grammatical. |

We stayed here in November 2007 for three nights, and what a delight. The food was exceptional, and the staff was very attentive and so friendly. We had a sea view room with spectacular views over Young Island and the sea. However, the rooms were in need of updating. They were clean, comfortable and had everything we needed, though. It was a great base to explore from and we are looking forward to coming back again. |

I have just returned from a cruise, and one of our stops was St. Vincent. We decided to relax, and we were advised we could go to Beach Comber to use the pool and facilities. The hotel looked very pleasant. The pool was small, and there were only a couple of sun beds. Most people in the restaurant area were from the cruse ship, and they were complaining about the service. The staff was extremely slow, and did not put themselves out to calm customers who were complaining about waiting up to an hour for food. It really was a joke. They did not write down who ordered what, so as the food came out, they gave the food out on memory - which was not always right. It was a nice hotel, but they need to sort the staff and food service issues out. In the end, people were ordering their taxis to go back to the ship. |

When we had the nerve to even try and complain about our stay, the owners/management of this place were bloody rude and threatened to try and strand us on the island. The Firefly Mustique claims a "relaxed and friendly house party atmosphere"! We booked with them on the understanding that our holiday would be perfect - and at just under $1,000 per day, we expected perfection. The hotel staff had been instructed to call guests by their names, presumably to personalize the service. This backfired, it might have been welcoming if they had not called each of us by the other's surname. They had an email with our correct names for the local air ticket, so there was no excuse for this. They would often only say 'hello' to the male half of a couple even if both of us were there, as if somehow the man was more important. This was particularly insulting and old fashioned. We had gone to celebrate an anniversary, and had told them we wanted privacy that day. At eleven o'clock they were banging on the door and calling to us. Later, they claimed that we had been rude to them over this intrusion into our privacy. We expected a casual, relaxed, and friendly atmosphere. This was not the case. For most of the day, the bar was dead quiet with the occasional couple playing the sort of board games you might have resorted to during a power cut. However, at about 7:00 pm most nights, loud cries of " whoop , whoop " , " yeaahh" and shrieking girly laughter could be heard from some distance away. It sounded like they were having the sort of drinking games usually associated with students or sports clubs - good for bar profits but hardly sophisticated. We expected in such a place that nothing would be too much trouble, yet when we asked for a small problem to be solved (i.e. for some apparently clean, but stinking bed linen to be changed), this was met with resentment and bad feeling. On departure, the owners were unnecessarily verbally abusive and rude, which completely staggered and upset us. Unfortunately, that will be our lasting memory of this idyllic getaway. |
