The hotel

The simplicity of Bequia Plantation Hotel is part of its beguiling beauty. An unpretentious space, the owners know the location’s all you could ever need – right on the wanderlust-satisfying sands of Admiralty Bay, whose glittering waters are graced by yachts, and just a stroll along Admiralty Walkway from Port Elizabeth. Its acres of tropical gardens are punctuated with towering coconut palms, charming cottages, a bay-view restaurant with an authentic brick pizza oven, and the hotel’s bijou but beautiful swimming pool – there for those odd occasions you’d rather not take your dips off one of Bequia’s beaches. Whether you stay in the main house or pick one of the suites or villas which nestle in the gardens, among the fruit trees, and even on the soft sands of Admiralty Bay, you’ll experience a chic blend of contemporary and Caribbean styling.

Bequia Plantation Hotel when searched on Google claims to be a 5 star hotel. This hotel certainly does not operate one. I booked the orchard suite which claims a beach view but it should state partial beach view since the view is blocked by 2 trees. The restaurant is right next to the beach/chairs area. They have a wood burning oven going so the entire time you are smelling the smoke coming from the chimney. At first, I thought they were burning garbage but then I realized the smoke was coming from the kitchen. It's so bad the wind does not help. What's actually worst here in this hotel is the service. I constantly had to flag a server at their restaurant. We literally had to get our own coffee because they never came around to ask if we needed anything. The first day my husband had to go to the bar to get his own drinks because again noone came around. They attach a 10% service charge automatically to your bill so I'm assuming that's why the service is poor since they know either way if they are providing a good or bad service they are getting their tip. When I went to restaurant to order lunch I was told by the server inside to order with the beach server. Since she never came around I had to look for her. When I asked her if i can place an order with her she responded I could either with her or go to the restaurant. But why would I order at the restaurant if I'm at the beach?! I then ordered a drink for myself and my daughter. The server comes back and said she forgot to tell the bartender it's for a child so it has alcohol. Good thing I asked if it was complimentary because it was not. So instead of giving me the drink for free, they tossed it because I didn't want to pay for a drink they made a mistake on. On top of everything, the first day the key cards didn't work. Also, they had plumbing issues so we didn't have water to shower or flush the toilet. Everything is old here. The beach chairs are uncomfortable and falling apart. I spoke to the hotel's assistant manager to inquire if this hotel is an actual five star hotel because I just really couldn't believe it. I was told it was not that it's actually a 4.5 star. I told the asst manager that they are falsely advertising on Google that it is 5 star. If I have to rate this place it is 3 star meanwhile they charge like a 5 star hotel! I highly recommend not wasting your money here. Read less

A lack of investment, poor quality and lower standards means that this once fine hotel is no longer the premium hotel it used to be. Whilst management have tried to be innovative, breakfast often times runs out of food leaving customers annoyed and exasperated. The hotel beach area with sun beds is dirty and tired looking. The towels are an odd collection of frayed and stained towels likely coming from towels thrown away by others. The sunbeds are old and uncomfortable. The rooms are tired and in need of a desperate upgrade. The staff are good and offer a good service however inconsistency in some of the services leads me to believe that there is little staff training. The location is still good but this alone cannot make up for the lack of investment and quality. All in all a disappointing stay and although I have returned year after year I am saddened to say that I will not be returning in the future as there are far better hotels available. Read less

The best located hotel in Bequia! It's a 10-15 minute walk from the ferry terminal. Located on the beach of Belmont Walkway and walkable to the Princess Margaret beach. Close to many restaurants and bars. The staff is friendly and helpful. The villa we stayed in was so close to the beach that you can hear the ocean.

We stayed at the Plantation Hotel in a beachfront villa which as great - spacious, comfortable, great beds and peaceful. The location is perfect - right on a small white stretch of beach on the Belmont Walkway and handy for Princess Margaret Beach around the corner - as well as close to the small town of Port Elizabeth. Staff were friendly and hard working. The hotel is a beautiful place. But, the restaurant was a problem for us. The food on the evening menu is well cooked and pleasant enough but it is a very limited menu and less imaginative than say The Fig Tree, Jack's Bar or Mac's Kitchen - all of which are nearby. The biggest issue with the restaurant though, is the wild beach dogs which are allowed to roam freely around the open restaurant which is by the beach. These dogs are flea ridden and dirty and are constantly under your table and/or begging for food. At breakfast one morning we counted 6 of these animals in the restaurant. They seem to be breeding around the hotel vegetable garden as we saw several very young puppies around that part of the hotel gardens over the course of 8 days. The staff make some attempts to get rid of the dogs but seem resigned to the fact that they are there. As did the owner when I spoke to her upon checking out. She seemed to consider this a fault of her staff - rather than a hotel management and operational matter. Frankly, we found these animals disgusting and only ever ate breakfast at the hotel restaurant. Other meals were taken at good (cheaper) places nearby Other restaurants and bars along the Belmont Walkway had no tolerance of these dogs and kept them out by various means. Staff at these places were very much aware of the number of dogs in the Plantation House restaurant We would need to be sure this problem with wild dogs has been successfully addressed before we would stay again. That is the only issue with this wonderful place to stay, hopefully it can be resolved. Read less
