Fodor's Expert Review Frangipani Hotel
Belmont Walkway, VC0400, St. Vincent and the Grenadines
The venerable Frangipani, once a sea captain's home and also the birthplace of the late James "Son" Mitchell, former prime minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, is especially known for its welcoming waterfront bar and restaurant. Luxurious garden and deluxe hillside units, built of local stone and hardwoods, rise on a gentle hillside filled with fragrant frangipani trees. These rooms have tile floors, louvered windows and doors, canopy beds, spacious private baths, and verandahs with spectacular sunset views of the harbor. Two deluxe hillside rooms have air-conditioning. Five rooms in the historic house (less than half the price of the garden rooms) have painted-wood walls and floors, grass rugs, and plain furniture; they share a bayfront terrace at the front and a cold-water bath at the end of the hall (Room 3 is closest to the bath).
PROS
- great waterfront location and views from hillside rooms
- lively bar and restaurant at night
- room service breakfast upon request
CONS
- steep hillside not easy for those with mobility issues
- no air-conditioning in most rooms
- five economy rooms—with a cold-water shared bath—are really basic
