We enjoyed our honeymoon here.Visited: September 2008
Posted by keron
I was trying to decide on somewhere in the Caribbean that was strategic for a honeymoon. I decided to give St. Vincent a try and, naturally, I had to find a place that was ideal.
I needed somewhere that was not too expensive, had a great ocean view, was quiet, employed friendly staff, and was in close proximity to the airport. I was also looking for a clean facility, with Internet access, A/C, good food, and other creature comforts.
After doing a thorough search and weighing my options, I realized that Richview Guesthouse met all the criteria. After visiting here, I was not disappointed at all. Hats off to Michael and Laverne, the managers.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience at Richview. It was a clean, comfortable, and relaxing home away from home.
The owner, Michael, and all his staff were wonderful, making sure that we enjoyed our first trip to St. Vincent.
We will definitely go back again, and recommend it to anybody visiting SVG. Thanks Michael!

Villa Lodge, St. Vincent & the Grenadines traveler review
Villa Lodge was a nice place to be.Visited: September 2008
Posted by huijzendveld
The view from the hotel room was absolutely wonderful.
The staff was friendly and willing to help with everything. The rooms were big and clean, the food was good, and there was a beautiful quiet beach nearby where you can swim in blue warm water.
It was paradise. The staff and the hotel manager, with their personal approach, make you feel good being here.

if you are going to be a successful site with accurate information, al least make it formal! there are many gramatical errors as well as spelling. please correct. you should also have at least SOME pictures of restaurants available due to the nature that some children need photos for reports.
WhereToStay.com reply: Thanks for you comments. By allowing our readers to post information, it does open us up to having some errors on the site until our editors have a chance to review them. BTW, I think you meant "at least" and you misspelled grammatical.

This is a very special place!Visited: November 2007
Posted by dragon24
We stayed here in November 2007 for three nights, and what a delight.
The food was exceptional, and the staff was very attentive and so friendly.
We had a sea view room with spectacular views over Young Island and the sea. However, the rooms were in need of updating. They were clean, comfortable and had everything we needed, though.
It was a great base to explore from and we are looking forward to coming back again.

We stopped by here during a cruise.Visited: December 2007
Posted by samanthagardier
I have just returned from a cruise, and one of our stops was St. Vincent. We decided to relax, and we were advised we could go to Beach Comber to use the pool and facilities.
The hotel looked very pleasant. The pool was small, and there were only a couple of sun beds. Most people in the restaurant area were from the cruse ship, and they were complaining about the service.
The staff was extremely slow, and did not put themselves out to calm customers who were complaining about waiting up to an hour for food. It really was a joke. They did not write down who ordered what, so as the food came out, they gave the food out on memory - which was not always right.
It was a nice hotel, but they need to sort the staff and food service issues out. In the end, people were ordering their taxis to go back to the ship.

Don't waste your money, and don't complain!Visited: June 2007

When we had the nerve to even try and complain about our stay, the owners/management of this place were bloody rude and threatened to try and strand us on the island. The Firefly Mustique claims a "relaxed and friendly house party atmosphere"!
We booked with them on the understanding that our holiday would be perfect - and at just under $1,000 per day, we expected perfection.
The hotel staff had been instructed to call guests by their names, presumably to personalize the service. This backfired, it might have been welcoming if they had not called each of us by the other's surname. They had an email with our correct names for the local air ticket, so there was no excuse for this.
They would often only say 'hello' to the male half of a couple even if both of us were there, as if somehow the man was more important. This was particularly insulting and old fashioned.
We had gone to celebrate an anniversary, and had told them we wanted privacy that day. At eleven o'clock they were banging on the door and calling to us. Later, they claimed that we had been rude to them over this intrusion into our privacy.
We expected a casual, relaxed, and friendly atmosphere. This was not the case. For most of the day, the bar was dead quiet with the occasional couple playing the sort of board games you might have resorted to during a power cut.
However, at about 7:00 pm most nights, loud cries of " whoop , whoop " , " yeaahh" and shrieking girly laughter could be heard from some distance away. It sounded like they were having the sort of drinking games usually associated with students or sports clubs - good for bar profits but hardly sophisticated.
We expected in such a place that nothing would be too much trouble, yet when we asked for a small problem to be solved (i.e. for some apparently clean, but stinking bed linen to be changed), this was met with resentment and bad feeling.
On departure, the owners were unnecessarily verbally abusive and rude, which completely staggered and upset us. Unfortunately, that will be our lasting memory of this idyllic getaway.

At all times during our stay at this hotel, we felt loved. The front office people were very friendly, and helped us out with many things - such as taxi arrangements, excursions and flight confirmation.
The food in the restaurant was excellent, and the waitresses were always interested in our possible needs.
We really felt loved by everyone: the staff, and the manager, who made us feel very welcome.
We love you too, guys! We can't wait to come back.

Raffles Resort Canouan Island is the nicest resort I have ever stayed at. The service, food, staff, rooms, views all make this a luxury hotel of the highest order.

This was a thrilling experience!Visited: July 2007

As a frequent Fort Recovery guest for years, we were encouraged to try out Bequia Beachfront Villas as they own both properties. We booked three weeks in total, and decided to take one week for Bequia.
We booked our airfare through Pamelah from Tortola to St. Vincent, and took the ferry to Bequia. We were greeted by Gideon the taxi driver. We also rented a jeep from him for three days to tour the island.
When we got to the villa, we were thrilled by the location right on the beach. We literally couldn't control our joy! It brought tears to our eyes to be sitting on the beach for seven straight days.
The accommodations were airy, nicely decorated and very spacious. We had a fully equipped kitchen, so we bought local fish on the beach and cooked most dinners ourselves.
Driving through the island, we were so excited as there were as many beaches on Bequia as Tortola. Each day we went to a different beach.
We were so happy, and certainly recommend it to other guests. Although we ended up with another week on Tortola, leaving Bequia was sad. We hope to go back again some day soon.

Bequia Beachfront Villas are the best!Visited: June 2007
Posted by ttpm08
Bequia Beachfront Villas are the best you can get. We had the four-bedroom, four-bathroom house. It was the utmost in
luxury.
It had a living room, kitchen, dining room and outdoor decks on the long stretch of Friendship Bay Beach. It was, without a doubt, state-of-the-art in every way.
We enjoyed the house, the service, and the panoramic views. It was also a treat watching the fisherman pull up with their boats full
of fresh fish. We took advantage of that on one of our "at home dinner nights".

We had a great family vacation here.Visited: January 2006

I have no reservations about recommending The Old Fort. We have spent two vacations here with our families, and it was just perfect. The place was surrounded by beautiful gardens. This, together with the old buildings, made for a great atmosphere.
Also our kids just loved it. The management and staff were very helpful, and had no problems in arranging whatever we were interested in. We even chartered our own boat and managed to visit the Tobago Keys, which were beautiful islands with endless coral reefs.
We hope that we can visit Bequia and The Old Fort again in the near future.

This is our "Treasure Island".Visited: February 2007
Posted by chandler
I booked a week-long holiday on Palm Island as a surprise 50th birthday present for my husband. This holiday turned out to be everything we had wished for.
The island was beautiful, and the accommodation was very comfortable. Also, the staff was very helpful and unobtrusive, but always willing to help if asked.
The food was delicious, and the cocktails and champagne flowed very freely. The minibar was always well stocked - nothing was too much trouble.
The scenery was fantastic, and the hammocks were great fun after a few too many Kir Royales.
We would thoroughly recommend this as a real "get away from it all" holiday.

We loved the hotel; the food was excellent; the service was fantastic; and the view was amazing. We loved the walk to and from the city hub - just ten minutes.
We also liked the old Colonial charm, yet with all the amentities and service was 21st century. It was lovely to have coffee on the patio overlooking the harbour.
If we could give more then five stars - we would.
