Bequia Plantation Hotel

Rented beach chairs and ate at their oceanfront restaurant a few times (we did not stay at the Plantation). Small beach area- but enjoyable swim in the ocean- very calm. Great food and service at the restaurant. We walked over to Princess Margaret Beach a few times for more space to swim, but ate at the Plantation restaurant on the way back. The food was very good here, sometimes items were not available (didn't have the conch salad), but customer service here at all times was prompt and professional. Our dining experiences here were very good. Great ocean and island views.

We spent four nights at Bequia Plantation Hotel, and while our stay began with a few bumps, we ultimately left feeling deeply relaxed and convinced this is a truly special place. First and foremost, the property itself deserves major recognition. This is an absolute AAA location. Set right in Bequia, it is walkable to town, an easy and fun cab ride to everything else, and perfectly positioned near Admiralty Bay and local restaurants. The setting is tranquil and beautiful. You have sand literally behind the pool, lush tropical landscaping, and charming cottage style plantation rooms that surround you in a historic, colonial atmosphere. The entire property feels thoughtfully maintained and quietly elegant, with all the modern amenities you would want, while still preserving a beautifully authentic tropical character. Once we settled in, the service really came together and reinforced how much this place cares about the guest experience. We arrived pretty swamped and travel weary, and the management team listened, responded, and handled things with professionalism and genuine care. Chris and Janelle in particular deserve recognition for turning an imperfect start into a stay that felt personal and restorative. The restaurant team was excellent. Food was consistently very good, and it was delivered with warmth and smiles even when they were clearly busy. The bar staff were always speedy and friendly, which added to the relaxed, vacation feel of the property. Housekeeping was impeccable throughout our stay. The room was made up perfectly every day, always on time, always discreet, with lovely turndown service each evening. It added a real sense of calm and understated luxury. By the end of our stay, we felt completely at ease. This is a hotel with a rare combination of location, character, and people who genuinely want guests to leave happy. We would absolutely recommend Bequia Plantation Hotel and hope this review helps bring them the attention and business they deserve.

We recently stayed at the Bequia Plantation Hotel, which is set on a stunning, lush green property. We loved that all the suites are located on the ground floor, and our ocean-facing room offered a lovely view. The hotel provides free use of water sports equipment, such as paddle boats, which was a nice amenity. The staff was very helpful and always accommodating. The hotel's location is ideal for exploring. You can take a short, pleasant walk along the beach to reach the town center and the ferry to the mainland. A practical tip for fellow travelers from the US: St. Vincent uses a different electrical currency, so remember to bring a power converter. Regarding dining, we found the on-site restaurant to be quite expensive with a limited menu. For more variety, we recommend exploring the many other restaurants that are within walking distance in the town center.

We absolutely loved this hotel, our room was in the main house overlooking the the bay, a stunning view and a beautiful sunset every evening. The room had a 4 poster bed, which was very comfortable, the room was immaculate and cleaned thoroughly every day. We loved the restaurant, breakfast was very good, always cooked fresh. Evening meals were also very good but the service was sometimes a bit slow, but this was not a problem to us.|The staff , from reception to the bar & restaurant were excellent, friendly and so helpful, Lenore the head barman makes the best mud slides and was always served with a smile, I mustn’t forget lovely Janice, and Heidi both looked after us really well. |If you want to wander into town or eat at other restaurants on the island, there is a walkway from the hotel with just one or two steps here and there but easily managed .|Bequia is a beautiful island and it is good to remember that it isn’t commercialised and therefore service may be a lot slower than you are use to, but the people are warm and friendly and we will definitely come back

You are less than 10 minutes from restaurants in Port Elizabeth and only five minutes from Princess Margaret Beach which leads to Lower Bay. Property is well kept, rooms are comfortable, and we found the service to be very good. We'd definitely stay here again if we went back to Bequia.

1. LOCATION 5 stars|2. ACCOMMODATION 4 stars - clean; only melamine dishes so microwave was useless; no coffee/basics in room; shower drainage issues|3. RESTAURANT 2 stars - overpriced, extremely slow and disorganized, mediocre food|4. SERVICE 2 star - The check-in staff were uninterested and seemed like we were bothering them by trying to check in. We prepaid and they tried to tell us we didn't. Overall the service was very slow and lackadaisical throughout the stay. We've stayed on many Caribbean islands and very much enjoy a slower pace... this was not a slower pace, this was completely disorganized and lacking any effort. Holiday Inn has 5 star service in comparison to the service here |5. INCIDENT - There are friendly communal dogs and cats around the island. One morning during breakfast a random guy stabbed a dog on the beach near the hotel restaurant. We and other guests spent a few hours trying to help the injured dog - called the police, the local vet, crawled under a deck to provide food and water. A staff member made sure to let us know that it happened on the beach and not their responsibility, and that they could do nothing about it. Several guests of the property spent hours to help the injured dog (on hotel property), without any apparent interest or assistance from hotel staff. One staff member made sure to tell me that I should not have used the hotel ice bucket to give the bleeding dog water. Apparently the ice bucket was too important to take outside.

TERRIBLE! The worst experience we have ever had in the Caribbean. Extremely poor service at breakfast but made the mistake of going back for lunch since few other places were open. Still very poor service, you can tell the staff could care less about being there much less care about serving the customers. Waited 2 hours for a pizza, while everyone else around us was being served their food. Finally we asked one of the very few waitstaff we could find if they forgot our order, she replied “probably”. No apologies at all! She offered to take the pizza off our bill…. Avoid this place when in Bequia!!!

TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE Experience! Restaurant- Do not go if at all possible! For breakfast we waited over 30 mins just for someone to take our order. After the order was taken no one came back until the food was brought out. Lunch was worse, waited 2 hours after ordering one 9” pizza. When we got tired of waiting we asked one of the very few waitstaff we could find if they forgot our order, she said “probably”. No apologies or any sort of emotion at all from the staff. Non attentive, uncaring, zero personality or customer service. Absolutely the worst service in all the Caribbean by far!! If this is how the restaurant is then I am glad we didn not stay at the hotel!
