Frommer's Review

A former sugar plantation house has been turned into an intimate Caribbean inn, the most romantic spot on Bequia. Cooled by constantly blowing trade winds, it stands on a clifftop. Stay here more for the panoramic view, not for the beach, which is reached by going down a steep path for about 150m (500 ft.). Once you get there the ocean is too turbulent for swimming. The grounds around the inn are ideal for nature walks through meadows to seaside cliffs. The rooms are spacious and luxurious with seaview balconies, some overlooking an open-air pool and club. Our favorite is the Top Tower Room, with stone walls and vaulted ceilings.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; outdoor pool; room service; laundry service; public Internet

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
