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! |

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 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. |

The garden rooms were large and comfortable with big terraces. Watch the 0700 Dollar Van with the boom box for a wake up call each morning, though! Steps up to the rooms could present a problem for elderly or disabled guests. |

As a frequent Fort Recovery guest for years, we were encouraged to try out Bequia Beachfront Villas as they own both properties. We booked three weeks in total, and decided to take one week for Bequia. We booked our airfare through Pamelah from Tortola to St. Vincent, and took the ferry to Bequia. We were greeted by Gideon the taxi driver. We also rented a jeep from him for three days to tour the island. When we got to the villa, we were thrilled by the location right on the beach. We literally couldn't control our joy! It brought tears to our eyes to be sitting on the beach for seven straight days. The accommodations were airy, nicely decorated and very spacious. We had a fully equipped kitchen, so we bought local fish on the beach and cooked most dinners ourselves. Driving through the island, we were so excited as there were as many beaches on Bequia as Tortola. Each day we went to a different beach. We were so happy, and certainly recommend it to other guests. Although we ended up with another week on Tortola, leaving Bequia was sad. We hope to go back again some day soon. |

| Bequia Beachfront Villas are the best! Visited: June 2007 |

Bequia Beachfront Villas are the best you can get. We had the four-bedroom, four-bathroom house. It was the utmost in luxury. It had a living room, kitchen, dining room and outdoor decks on the long stretch of Friendship Bay Beach. It was, without a doubt, state-of-the-art in every way. We enjoyed the house, the service, and the panoramic views. It was also a treat watching the fisherman pull up with their boats full of fresh fish. We took advantage of that on one of our "at home dinner nights". |

I have no reservations about recommending The Old Fort. We have spent two vacations here with our families, and it was just perfect. The place was surrounded by beautiful gardens. This, together with the old buildings, made for a great atmosphere. Also our kids just loved it. The management and staff were very helpful, and had no problems in arranging whatever we were interested in. We even chartered our own boat and managed to visit the Tobago Keys, which were beautiful islands with endless coral reefs. We hope that we can visit Bequia and The Old Fort again in the near future. |

I have stayed at other hotels. When I stayed here, I never wanted to stay at any other place on the island. The staff is wonderful, and the accommodations are very nice and clean. Some even come with kitchens. I also like the fact that it is close to downtown, and you can walk anywhere. |

| The Sugarapple gives a five-star welcome. Visited: February 2007 |

We recently spent ten nights at the Sugarapple Inn, and loved it. In short: they had the friendliest manager and guests on the island, beautifully planted grounds, a private kitchen, comfortable beds, excellent value, and a pool. The Sugarapple was really lovely, from the bright and relaxing rooms with full kitchens, to the wonderful pool area. We spent a number of days just hanging at the pool and toasting banana bread in our kitchen. Bequia had five or six beaches that you would go to, so in less than a week we had seen all the beaches and didn't feel the need to tear ourselves away from the lovely pool. Often, we would be the only people at the pool, so it felt like the best of both worlds: like renting a private house, but with Cilla to help with arrangements and reservations. We travel a lot and are frequently disappointed by the beds, even in the fanciest places. The beds at the Sugarapple (we stayed in two of the eight rooms) were very good. We slept very well. However, bring earplugs if you don't want to wake up at 5:00 am every day to the rooster crowing! The breeze at night was so strong I slept under a blanket. You won't miss the AC. The mosquito nets worked pretty well, but we heard a tip from a fellow guest that we would recommend: bring clothes pins to seal the gap in the net. A nice touch at the Sugarapple was the American DVD player. If we had known, we might have brought a couple dvds as some nights we didn't feel like going into town. I would also recommend bringing salt/pepper and sugar if you want to do any sort of food prep. Those items were expensive on the island and you'll want them. If you are a coffee person, bring plenty of coffee. I ran out halfway through the trip and it was $13 USD to buy a can of Illy. The Sugarapple also had a beautiful deck area with swinging seats, deck chairs, tables and a grill. We saw other people using it, and would definitely try and do that the next time. We would definitely return, and would recommend the Sugarapple without reservation to independent travelers. It is not a resort, so if that is what you are looking for then Bequia is probably not the right island for you. |

I had a fabulous stay in Bequia, and the best part it was my stay at Sugarapple Inn. The room was exquisite with a breathtaking view of the lush beautiful island. I will definitely return to Bequia and to the Sugarapple Inn for its tranquility and beauty. |

My family and I stayed nine nights here during the Christmas break. We were impressed by many elements of the inn. The gardens that suround the inn explode in glorious bloom around you. The rooms are large and spacious, and the kitchens are well equipped. We cooked a few nights in our kitchen, and barbequed on the communal deck. Also, it's nice to have a pool on the property. I love to wake up in the morning, put on my suit and head to the pool with a good book. Now that I am back in cold New York, my memories of the Sugarapple keep me warm and looking to return. We will certainly return to Bequia and the Sugarapple. |

We spent Christmas at the Sugarapple Inn, and thoroghly enjoyed it. The room was very clean, well appointed, and spacious. We were able to prepare our Christmas dinner here. Some dishes were prepared in the kitchen, while some were grilled on the deck. What a treat to have dinner outside in December! The office staff (Cilla) was very helpful in gettting us oriented. She provided us with a cell phone that was pre-programmed with numbers for taxis and restaurants. Getting around was a breeze (easy)! This was our first visit to St. Vincent and to Bequia, and it was a long trip to get here - over 15 hours door-to-door. But, after ten minutes of sitting on the deck the first night, it was all worth it. The beauty of the graden and the tranquility is beyond the pictures. The worst part of the trip was having to leave. We'll be back! |

We decided to have a family vacation, and The Old Fort Villa on Bequia turned out to be the perfect choice. We enjoyed the property, and the people were extremely friendly and gave their utmost effort in making our holiday a great experience. We hope to visit Bequia and The Old Fort again in the near future. |

As you reach The Old Fort, prepare to have your breath taken away. Once you breathe again, you’ll be in love! This must be the most romantic villa in the Caribbean – although the term “villa” really doesn’t do The Old Fort justice. This isn’t just a villa, it’s a very comfortable, welcoming home. The Schaedle family will do everything to make it yours from the moment you walk in. The Old Fort boasts characterful, comfortable bedrooms; great places to relax and dine – outside and in; a lovely pool with amazing views out to Mustique…all this and donkeys too! What more could anyone possibly want? We just can’t wait to get back! Getting to Bequia may sound a bit complicated, but don’t be put off: it’s really not difficult. The journey’s a great part of the experience, anyway. We flew north to St. Vincent, from Trinidad, and were just captivated by the Grenadines, floating in the clearest, bluest ocean we’d ever seen. From St. Vincent’s airport, a friendly taxi driver soon got us to Kingstown. He checked ferry times and suggested breakfast at Cobblestones restaurant. It was good advice! Don’t rush to the ferry; amble, soak up island life - chill and connect. Soon the Bequia Express ties up and discharges passengers with efficient chaos. Climb aboard for the one hour crossing – and relax! Bequia’s silhouette crystallizes into an intricate, green paradise, as Admiralty Bay embraces the returning ferry. Port Elizabeth grows from hillside specks and soon you’ll see its streets merging seamlessly with the tree-lined, restaurant-fronted beach. Then you start to meet the people and the love affair becomes irresistible! |

The beach hut was fantastic. The house was spectacular, and Zoe was a credit to the house. We will be bringing back friends and grandparents. (I took a peek at the lovely cottage which was the former home to the British PM Antony Eden. They will love it!) |

This was certainly the most efficiently run hotel we have found in the Caribbean. From the moment we arrived, we were charmed - while we were checking in, our bags were whisked away to our apartment. The checking in process was quick, efficient, informative and friendly, offering us information on the island, the bus service, taxis, etc. Our spacious apartment was spotless and had wonderful views across the valley and Friendship Bay. We also had a well equipped kitchen supplied with tea, coffee, and cold drinks, and a large bathroom. The apartment was comfortable, bright and cheery. The attention to detail was superb - including portable beach chairs and a coolbag for days out, and a gas barbecue on the communal terrace. The pool and grounds were well kept and ideal for chilling out. The staff was cheerful, helpful and welcoming (as was everyone on this delightful little island). Our only regret was that we were only here for four days. We can't wait to go back again for a longer stay. |

This is a quiet place on a beautiful small island. It is one step further to travel from New York, but so much nicer for taking that extra step. The Inn is just as it appears in these pictures, lost in time and space. We fell in love with the island and Sugarapple Inn. It's also a great walk to everything. We learned to slow down. We'll be back! |

We've just returned from our third stay in three years at the Sugarapple. On our first trip, there was no pool; and Lionel, the owner, was there, getting organized. We had a wonderful stay, then continued on to St. Vincent, Union, Grenada and finally Barbados. Afterward, we wondered if Bequia had been all that great. Last year, we went to St. Lucia for Christmas and New Year's. We liked it for a couple of days, but began to wonder about the place -- especially the safety. We went over to Bequia for ten days, and fell in love again. By now, Lionel had put in a womderful saltwater pool. This year, the Sugarapple was even better than before. Although, we were bothered a couple of nights by a barking dog. It was no big deal, though. If you're looking for the Holiday Inn, don't go to the Sugarapple. If you are looking for peace, relaxation, beautiful scenery, friendly staff and locals (and great food at the nearby restaurants like Fernando's, Coco's, and the Porthole), Bequia is the ticket. |

Sugarapple Inn was off the beaten path and absolutely charming. We had the pleasure of staying in room number one with expansive beautiful views of Friendship Bay. The town was within a 20-minute scenic walk or a five-minute colorful bus ride with the locals. It was also a ten-minute romantic beach walk to nearest hotel/restaurant with good food and a nice little beach for swimming. We encountered good people, it was a nice place and we had a great experience. We also enjoyed the luxury of BBQ-ing local fish at the inn. We highly recommend it, and will return to the Sugarapple! |
