The Best!
This was our second visit to the hotel and it won't be our last. We were welcomed back like old friends. From the moment you make the reservation to the moment you leave is absolutely fantastic.
Rima and her team make you feel so welcome and nothing is too much trouble.
We stayed in a cottage, which is in a great spot for everything. Both pools are gorgeous and there is an abundance of sunbeds, towels, floaties etc.
The food is outstanding, lots of choice and perfectly cooked. We bought the all inclusive package and thought it was well worth it, especially as you can use it at Jack's Bar on the other side of the Island.
Our room was serviced twice a day to a very high standard, lots of bottled water and fresh milk in your fridge.
It was lovely to chat to Bengt

Worth the extra hopper plane flight
My new favourite place, amazing location, food and accommodation, relaxing from the moment you arrive with everything considered and your every need met. The painkiller cocktail was a favourite and the breakfast, lunch and dinner menus were amazing…thank you Bequia Beach Hotel

Fourth trip and as classy as ever
We both lead frenetic working lives and visiting Bequia - and in particular the Bequia Beach Hotel - is like coming home.
Top quality accommodation, with wonderful rooms, huge comfortable beds, quality bed linen and super bathrooms. The pool area, beach sunbeds and beautiful gardens are immaculate. There is a pétanque court ( surprisingly competitive) table tennis, giant chess and a small but well equipped gym and spa. The food and beverages are excellent, and there is a hotel shuttle to nearby Princess Margaret beach with the renowned Jacks beach bar ( linked to the hotel ). But, it’s the staff and the ambience that makes this place so special.
Nothing is too much trouble; Rima is the beating heart of the hotel and will sort anything you need from restaurant recommendations to day trips to Mustique or the must-see Tobago Quays. She will even deal with the “ vagaries” of local transport by ferry or air. The owners are nearly always at the hotel, hosting guest cocktail parties; their love of BBH shines through. It has also been wonderful to see how they have developed junior staff over the years.
The place is SO good we are reluctant to share it - we have already booked our return for next year.

Absolute must visit for laid back Caribbean bliss
Bequia Beach Hotel is a wonderful place. It has the perfect laid-back and welcoming atmosphere mixed with incredible standards and staff. Led from the front by the legendary Mr Bengt!
It is a great spot for families and couples alike.
Jack’s Beach Bar is not to be missed: the most beautiful beach with the perfect beach bar and restaurant to while away the day,

The Caribbean the way it use to be.
Exquisite property with wonderful staff and amazing beach views. Unspoiled Caribbean Island. Tranquil with friendly locals. Easy to get to via Bequia Air from Barbados. First Class all the way! We will definitely be returning.

Fantastic hotel in paradise
This hotel is a gem in an incredible location! Hotel clearly prioritizes customer service. Welcome reception was so lovely after a long travel day. Rooms are very well-kept and well appointed. The general manager is constantly wandering the grounds to ensure quality control and to get feedback from guests. Breakfasts were wonderful. Beach was a tad wavy but lovely to be on the beachfront. Short drive to other incredible beaches. But all in all, a fantastic and memorable stay. We will return!

Bequia Beach met and exceeded our expectations!
“what a wonderful place! a beautiful well-kept hotel in the midst of a huge lush garden. the atmosphere is very relaxing, elegant, but informal. one evening a week is "owners evening" when You get the chance to mingle with the other guests and the owner, who obviously takes great joy in caring for his guests assuring they have a great stay.
you can easily spend lots of time just enjoying the pools and the gardens . the staff is really sweet, in a discrete and low-key way. one day at the pool
we also spent time exploring the island (we walked everywhere, but there are cheap efficient taxis for everyone who doesn't like walking hilly terrain in the sun), and we used the hotels great concierge service (run by an extremely pleasant and efficient woman
we will definitely come back to bequia beach hotel. it's like staying in a paradise not many people have discovered yet. a charming little gem on a charming little island.”

A truly relaxing, ‘get away from it all’ holiday
We returned in less than a year to this unique luxury location with its own beach, away from the crowds and yet close enough to enjoy the local restaurants and other beaches (if needed!). Having the choice of two beaches on either the quieter Atlantic (outside our room) or Caribbean side at Jacks bar (5 mins shuttle away and owned by hotel) of this small island makes Bequia Beach Hotel a uniquely attractive stat. Big thanks to a great reception team who looked after all our needs both inside and outside the hotel grounds, with friendly bar and restaurant staff most of whom are on first name terms and quietly anticipated our needs without fuss and formality. We love it here and will return again, as it seems many other guests do too. Special thanks to Rima, Deli, Hope, Kelsey, Sheena and team, including egg chef Ali, and particularly Anne Marie who kept our beachside room immaculate despite our sandy feet! 17 days of bliss . . .

Our Favourite Place
This was the third time my husband and I stayed at this lovely hotel and it was without doubt just as brilliant as the previous occasions. This really is home away from home for us and provides complete relaxation as soon as we arrive; the hotel has a way of slowing your pace down to the Caribbean way. If you are looking for nightlife, perhaps this is not the place for you, this hotel and the island are all about relaxation. Bequia is probably one of a small handful of islands that still retains that true Caribbean feel.
We have now stayed in 3 types of rooms and they are all very nicely decorated, have lovely bathrooms as well as a large balcony with comfortable loungers.
The food is great with the main restaurant overlooking beautiful Friendship Bay - nothing like sitting with your morning coffee, listening to the sound of the waves.
All the staff are friendly and extremely helpful and really make this hotel a special place. I cannot praise Rima (Guest Relationship Manager) enough. Not only is she knowledgeable and always there to help with any arrangements, she handled with resourcefulness, quick actions and such a caring attitude during a medical emergency I suffered whilst there.
We are now counting the days to our next visit - oh yes, we have booked again!

INCREDIBLE HOLIDAY
SO MUCH BETTER THAN WE EXPECTED ONCE WE ARRIVED, I am truly shocked how incredible and magical this place is, definitely will be returning! Such friendly kind staff, the manager of the hotel and all the staff are just fantastic they couldn't do enough for us, absolutely outstanding, this holiday was a dream come true, what an outstanding resort, we also booked a trip on the star of the sea, I will remember this day for the rest of my life, absolutely amazing! We got a introduction by the captain himself and the staff on the yacht were so polite, friendly, professional and just fantastic, especially Chelsea, she went above and beyond to make sure we were all very well looked after, the whole experience of this trip was incredible and I wish I had booked for longer than a week, there's so much to do, AMAZING

Bequia beach hotel review
Where do I even begin? The resort is the most beautiful resort I've ever seen with three swimming pools inc a sea salt pool. Amazing restaurants and bar serving all the cocktails one could imagine including a new one I found called a mudslide trust me order one and thank me later. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful they even cleaned the room twice in one day. Very trust worthy as we forgot on many occasions our valuables out and came back to see they have been left exactly where we left them. The rooms where amazing we got the one with the private pool outside (family room) omg what fun that was. The beach is literally at your door step with crystal blue water and white sands exactly like the postcards. The hotel manager Rima helped us out with everything from pcr tests to check in ferry rides and so much more including a chartered yacht excursion on "The Star of the sea" which was the most magical day we had from diving of the boat an amazing bbq with drinks included to snorkeling in the coral reefs of Tobago cays with sea turtles giant starfish stingrays pufferfish etc... all this with captain Nigel at the helm laughing and speaking to everyone on board making us all feel welcomed and answering everyone's questions so if you go don't be shy ?? our only regret is we only booked a week and it went way to quick I could've had a few more amazing breakfasts and delicious dinners there if only had booked a 10 day stay. Definitely will next time. I'd give them 100 stars if I could.

Great return visit
A second stay at this lovely hotel in beautiful unspoilt Bequia. This hotel has one of the best beaches we’ve seen in a Caribbean hotel. There may be waves at times but they’re great fun for a bit of bodysurfing & the water is so clear. A warm welcome from staff & a gorgeous seaview suite, definitely worth the extra money. We stayed again for a few days (after a two week villa stay) in a garden room, which are also lovely with a view of the garden. The new infinity pool is a great addition. The food at Bagatelle is delicious, the lobster night is great fun with Clear Eyes providing an opportunity to dance in the sand under the stars. A steel band gave great lazy Sunday vibes. Service at Bagatelle was sometimes lacking due to staffing post-Covid but we love the laidback Caribbean vibe this hotel has. Great staff in reception who book taxis & days out, arranged Covid testing & are always happy to help with a smile. Free transport to Jack’s beach bar for a day at Princess Margaret beach, lunch, dinner & cocktails. It’s not the 5 star swanky luxury you get in some Caribbean hotels but I wouldn’t stay anywhere else on Bequia.

Such an incredible stay!
Having not stayed at Bequia Beach Hotel in 5 years, it was simply incredible to be able to return to the hotel and the island.
Arriving by Bequia Air was great fun and incredibly convenient, in what could otherwise have been a very hectic transfer through Barbados airport, we were met before immigration by Bequia Air and escorted through the fast track system.
It’s the small touches at the hotel which really made our stay, from a welcome cocktail on arrival while you check in, to complimentary fruit smoothies by the pool, the ever helpful staff are always on hand with a smile.
We walked along Friendship Bay, the beautiful beach that the hotel sits on, every day, and it was just wonderful how peaceful it was. The hotel blends in with its surrounding environment, and with the steel band on Sunday, it really is the perfect place to relax.
We spent most days by the salt water infinity pool that overlooks the ocean, though there is another pool and of course, sunbeds on the beach to use. While we looked at going to the gym, we instead got side-tracked into the spa next door for a massage.
We explored other places on the island, the Limings, Frangipani, and Jacks (which is linked to the hotel) and faces the other side of the island so is a great place for sunset drinks; as well as a fun little floating bar which sits just offshore.
Food at the hotel was exactly what you would want from a Caribbean island, while there is an Italian restaurant in the hotel, we chose to eat most nights down by the beach. There is an all you can eat lobster night and on a different evening a BBQ night, with some of the best ribs and jerk chicken I have ever had.
The hotel invites a friendly atmosphere, the owner happily comes around and says hello to make sure everything is going well, the staff are fabulous and the ladies at the front desk are just superb. I cannot wait to return again!

Quiet & Beautiful Caribbean
We stayed at the resort the week of May 8-15. We had the experience of a lifetime.
The staff was amazing!! They took special care to get to know us throughout our stay, and in knowing what excursions we might be doing every day. The accommodations were five star. The vibe on the resort (and the island) was Euro-Caribbean - sophisticated yet laid back. We felt safe, and the people were incredibly friendly. The resort was able to organize our scuba dives, as well as an adventure to Tobago Cay, which was amazing.

Sublime Relaxation
This is our third visit to the Bequia Beach. We never thought we would come back to the same hotel more than once, but when you’ve found a hotel that hits every button, improves gently on each visit (sea water infinity pool, I’m talking about you) but still feels like coming home, why keep looking? When we left the hotel in March 2020, the staff stood on the front steps waving us goodbye with a horrible portent of what was about to happen. Two years later, to the day, we walked back through the beautiful entranceway, with the same staff saying hello and it was (almost) as if the last two hideous years had melted away.
One of the hotels positive attributes is that it is a bit of an adventure to get to. One international flight plus one tiny plane (all handled with huge efficiency by the transfer team and Bequia Air) means you’re in transit for long enough to feel you’ve really escaped. And when you arrive, the sound of the sea from your bedroom (beachfront villas are worth every penny), the deeply comfortable bed, the properly powerful shower and you’re on island time before the first mojito.
Bequia, and the Bequia Beach Hotel, is not an uber-sophisticated Caribbean fashionista paradise. The sea can be brisk, the winds are strong (it’s a sailing paradise), the menu in the Bagatelle restaurant for dinner is simple, fresh and delicious, the rooms do not have massive flat screen televisions (why would you need one with those views?!). But it is true to itself, it offers the kindest staff, the warmest welcome, the deepest relaxation, the most glorious setting, a compete escape from a world turned upside down. Thank you Mr Bengt and everyone at the Bequia Beach. We can’t wait for our fourth visit.

A truly magical place.
The Bequia Beach Hotel is one of those truly magical hotel experiences that transcends the sum of its parts. At once luxurious and authentic, sophisticated and relaxed, this is a place that imagines a bygone era and truly encapsulates the art of travel. This is a five star hotel in the most genuine sense — eschewing opulence and exclusivity in favour of exceptional service and a true appreciation for the culture and natural world in which it sits. From the architecture and decor to the fabulously maintained gardens and grounds, to the postcard-perfect beach, this is the Caribbean as one dreams of it. The food and beverage offering is world class, locally sourced and delicious—don't miss lobster night. The treatments at the spa are exceptional and the environment completely serene. Every single member of the BBH team is incredibly friendly, courteous and professional. The COVID precautions were seamless, unobtrusive and discrete, with the safety of staff and guests taken very seriously. A special thank you to Rima for taking such wonderful care of us every step of the way, and to Candy for her charisma and good humour. Bequia Beach Hotel exceeded our every expectation, and we will without doubt be back very soon

Truly a magical place!
Our stay at Bequia Beach hotel was perfect. It was beautiful, serene, down to earth and luxurious all in one. We felt like a part of the family by the time we left. We were touched by each and every one of the staff, as they took amazing care of us! The food was delicious, highlighted by the incredible breakfasts of fresh local fruits and fresh pressed juices! They even made us homemade gluten-free bread. The location was ideal, close to town and just over the hill from Jack's Beach Bar set on another gorgeous beach. Cannot recommend this resort enough, we will be back!
