This is really beatiful hotel. Our room was modern and clean with a lovely patio and views across the water to Mustique. Beachside bar and restaurant served good food but struggled a bit as everyone seemed to come to dinner at the same time. There's a spectacular beach which is good for swimming. This is a quality hotel - perfect for relaxing and being pampered. Lovely staff.

Enjoyed the privacy and space of this small hotel in a wonderful setting - much more of a guest house really but all the better for it though rarher expensive (over priced)) given its somewhat basic ameninenties but then that is probably why no-one else was there which made it all the more enjoyable and our own home from home.

We have had a wonderful holiday on Bequia and would never stay anywhere else but the Plantation Hotel. Lewis and Emma were always on hand to help with any questions or advice and were so professional, courteous, friendly and made us feel very welcome and valued. This was the case with all the staff who always had a warm smile and a greeting.

We stayed for just one night on our way to Bequia. We liked the hotel a lot: nice staff, beautifully maintained, lovely gardens. I can't imagine there is anywhere better in Kingstown.i

Spring House is more like staying in a luxurious private home than a hotel, high on a hill overlooking the bright turquoise Caribbean sea. The owners have thought of everything you could want for entertainment if you should get bored of sunbathing on the sun-beds or lazing around reading in big comfy chairs or the hammock; a great little swimming pool, a pool table, ping-pong, board games of all descriptions etc. All the rooms have lovely big comfy beds and excellent bathrooms.

The hotel is right by the water, so is a beautiful place to watch the sunset and to watch the world go by. My room was really nice and had everything I could need - the 4 poster bed was so comfy! Everyone there was really friendly and couldn't do enough to make sure you enjoy your stay.

I often day dream about my stay at this hotel, it felt like home away from home. The rooms were clean, comfortable and house keeping came everyday with a tidy and fresh towels. The staff were accommodating, the restaurant food was nice. It’s about 16 mins walk to a supermarket and other restaurants along the board walk.

This is a very traditional lovely Caribbean hotel. Great food, friendly staff, comfortable room with balcony overlooking pool and sea. The sea is accessible and shallow. I swam twice a day! Value for money all round.
There are several other bars and restaurants nearby. Young Island is just opposite, worth a visit.
Kingstown is about 20 mins by taxi or boogy bus (much cheaper).

The breakfast was excellent, the room was very comfortable.
Although not by the sea the view was lovely looking over Brighton Bay.
The nearby beach (Brighton beach ) is a 10 minute walk through woodland or 25minutes along the road.
There is a menu available for an evening meal - need to liaise with the owner.
