Fodor's Expert Review Fort Recovery Bequia Beachfront Villa Hotel

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Perfectly situated at the western end of mile-long (1½-km-long) Friendship Bay beach, these self-catering suites are an excellent alternative for families and small groups. The condo-style units range in size from one to four bedrooms; each has enormous living spaces with high ceilings, a large porch with panoramic beachfront views, comfortable furniture, and extensive artwork. You'll feel like a guest in someone's private beach house. Kitchens have full-size, modern appliances, as well as every tool, dish, and utensil that you could possibly need. The living rooms have plenty of comfortable seating, large areas for dining, and shelves full of books, games, and magazines. Plan on renting a car to get around the island and do errands, as the property is fairly isolated.
