Spring Hotel Bequia

Clean, tidy, varied choice of food options.

Staff were not friendly or helpful. Food quality was average.

We left before the restaraunt was open but Sophie arranged to have a delicous breakfast of fruit and yogurt packed for us the night before. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

I’ve been coming here for years and brought many friends and family here. (We’re coming with more friends and family in April again. The views are fantastic, makes the rather bumpy way up more than compensated for. The staff are as always very friendly and accommodating.

I think the pool sunloungers could really benefit from parasols. ( I’ve mentioned this a few times in my feedback) You just cannot lie on them, because the sun is shining on them all day.

We liked the first room Cyril gave us - eccentric but charming. After we'd unpacked and were resting (3 hours later after an exhausting week sailing) he told us he'd made a mistake and then moved us to a room much, much worse than a Travelodge, Thin sheets made of rayon, a kettle you had to unplug through a hole in the table in order to pour it. Cracks across the wall. A fridge that didn't shut. An air conditioner that wasn't connected to the remote. Furniture made of wire. And they accused ME of disrespect. The reason why he made the mistake was because of the extreme and rampant sexism that permeates these isles. I made the booking but he asked my husband if his name was William. (It is). He ignored me, my booking and my name because I'm a woman - hence he gave us a room for a different William.

The lack of grasping that we should perhaps be compensated for this horrible shock simply didn't permeate. I knew immediately that I wouldn't want to stay and so got him to agree immediately that should we not want to stay 3 nights, we could be refunded. The next day, half-naked by the pool, I caught him walking into the dining room just to confirm that this would be the case if we left the next day. A simple yes or no. He denied he'd agreed to this and tried (half naked) to get me to go to the office, which I refused. There was no sense at all that we might be owed and he did everything in his power to try and control and manipulate me. Because there's no concept of sexism, feedback, accountability or customer service, he simply obviously couldn't listen to me because I'm a woman. I'm quite sure that the default assumption would be that I'm racist. He wouldn't answer me and I wouldn't budge. He shouted over me and I shouted louder. He told my husband he was appalled by MY lack of respect. They don't know the meaning of the word. No one is in at this hotel and it's a study in alienation. 400 years of slavery has left everyone believing that the first sign of conflict is racism while concurrently, the leap towards the equality of the sexes has failed entirely. Also, don't go for the free breakfast. This was seriously the worst breakfast I've ever had in a hotel. Hours old scrambled (?) egg, no prepared fruit, coffee made with tepid water and not allowed to brew, long life orange juice, tasteless tomatoes and margerine that coats the roof of the mouth and can't be removed. They don't lay the tables either. We never got the refund he said he'd put through. Cyril accused us of not paying for our meals (he went and checked at the bar!). We wrote to Jason the manager. He said he'd get back to us. Nothing.

Very good

Trevligt välvårdat hotell trevlig personal

Frukosten var bedrövlig

The location is amazing and I’m sure this hotel was once a hidden gem but sadly its dazzle has long gone.

It’s more “the experience”. I have so many things that I not only didn’t like,but were quite truly Fawlty Towers’esc’ ( look it up if you don’t know what I mean!) you then have an idea.
