Fodor's Expert Review Bequia Beach Hotel

With an ideal location on pretty Friendship Bay, this sparkling boutique property is a great choice for a relaxing beach getaway or family vacation given the kids’ club. The hotel has 14 luxury beachfront suites that are also near the main pool. Large "classic rooms," some family suites that accommodate four, and a penthouse suite with a Jacuzzi and the ultimate sea view are set back on the hillside and surround a second pool. All rooms have unique, stunning decor evoking a 1930s-style adventure-travel vibe (period wicker furnishings, antique travel posters, leather trunks, four-poster beds). Nearby, six gingerbread-style, self-catering cottages, painted in Caribbean colors, offer either one or two bedrooms; three have a kitchenette and private plunge pool. A four-bedroom Presidential villa has a private infinity pool. The Blue Tropic Restaurant, open in the high season, features Italian cuisine in a cozy, romantic setting; there's also a casual beach bar.
