This is the 27th year we have come to the Caribbean for a two week winter break but the first one to Bequia. Rather than judge Bequia Beach in isolation, I do so in comparison to others over all those years. So how does Bequia and The Bequia Beach Hotel (BBH) compare with various hotels on Barbados, Antigua and elsewhere in the Grenadines? In a word, poorly in parts. Firstly the journey: An excellent BA flight from LHR arrived slightly early. The new BA business suites in the Boing 787 Dreamliner are almost as good as the Qatar Airlines ones although the food selection was not quite as good. The meet and greet service at Barbados was excellent as we were whisked past the rush hour queues and our luggage brought from the BA flight to the connecting one within a few minutes. We were helped with the paperwork and began boarding very quickly. Unfortunately, we had already been told that the BBH Private aircraft was unavailable so we all crammed on to the hot and noisy SVG Twin Otter for the short flight to Bequia. We had actually chosen this hotel because of its better connecting flight but all our protestations went unanswered. Arrival and customs at Bequia was straightforward and we were soon on our way to the hotel in a taxi (a converted pick-up truck). The roads immediately made us feel at home, or at least the number of potholes did! Reception at BBH was quick and efficient and we were given a brief tour of the grounds before being shown to our room where ALL our bags were waiting for us. The good points about BBH were the location, the grounds and the staff. The worse bits were the food and the restaurant service which were simply not in the same league as others we have stayed at despite the expensive price. Sat right on the Atlantic beach, we could almost jump from our room to the sand and sea and we had a great view of Mustique to wake up to each morning. Despite the 32 degrees throughout most days, the Atlantic breeze made it very pleasant. In the reasonably large room, the air conditioning worked well but the room was gloomy and very dated and the soft furnishings dull and dirty, well past their sell by date. The bathroom was a decent size too but the shower hose was broken and there was a crack in the shower tray. The former was mended on request. The large grounds were lovely with lots of tropical trees and flowers and well kept too, although having a gardener strimming the lawns every day became a bit tedious. A lawn mower would be a good investment. The two swimming pools were also very good and kept immaculately clean by constant attention. We mainly used the large freshwater pool which was never busy and there were always plenty of sunbeds available and an excellent young lady (sorry, didn't get your name) who kept us supplied with iced water and drinks. The hotel provided a complimentary daily shuttle to and from its own Jack's Bar on the Caribbean side of the island. As elsewhere in the Caribbean, this side

We had a wonderful time at Bequia Beach Hotel for a few reasons. The staff, especially Rima, is absolutely amazing. When we had an issue with our luggage, Rima stepped in and organized a fix that made what could be a terrible start to the trip, a non issue. The staff at the kids club helped our children explore the property and learn about the different fruits and trees growing on the property. Definitely one of the most unique kids clubs the kids have ever been too. Kiara was super friendly and an ever present smile. The food is a 5/5 at all of the associated restaurants, including Jacks, which isn’t attached but is related to the resort. We truly enjoyed our trip, just wish we had more time! We can’t wait to go back.
