Firefly Estate Bequia

My fella and I were fortunate to stay at Firefly for the Christmas Holiday and through New Years, about two weeks, although it took about a day and a half to get there from Jackson, Wyoming. Really one of the best experiences I have had, and I would recommend it to anyone. It is quiet, serene and far enough away from the party scene, but close enough you can take a 10 minute taxi ride and be in the thick of it. The beach is close by, 5 minute walk, it is truly wild, no chairs or people, and really a delight to experience. We used Gunno’s Taxi Service, the entire time, and he did an excellent job taking us where we needed to go, and even picked us up early a couple of days when we went sailing, and when we had an early start for a hike up to Mt Peggy. The hospitality was very good, Liz was wonderful and very attentive to everything, and the dogs were a delight! Jack and Duke and little Hazel and Hope. We were given a complimentary drink (rum punch) upon arrival, and room service as we had come in on the later ferry from St Vincent. The room was absolutely beautiful, very spacious, clean, amazing closet and bathroom amenities, hair dryer and flat iron are provided. Great WiFi, fast and easy. The double shower is amazing, the water is hot, the hair care products and shower gel smelled divine. There was a small refrigerator in the room which was perfect for us, you can shop in town for groceries, beer, just a place to keep your snacks! The housekeeper, Judith, does a superior job EVERY DAY they make up your room, it’s perfect every day, you come back from your daily adventure and just hang out on the large lounge on the balcony, read a book, etc. The pool is also a treat, comfortable and clean, there is shade, a couple of cabanas and towels are provided in the room and at the pool in the two little cabanas. The restaurant provides a VERY LARGE breakfast every day, (get the honey lemongrass tea) and Eddie provides the very best of service both for breakfast and dinner (have the Lion Fish) and Liz did a special dinner for us the last night we were there of fresh caught yellowfin tuna carpaccio and ceviche, but all the food was excellent. Eddie was able to prepare some yogurt, granola, and honey for our early morning excursions and leave them in our fridge! Try to buy some salt at the Grenadine salt shop on the property, and if they have any left, the salt scrub, it’s absolutely amazing and smells like the ocean. Liz was a wonderful hostess, we can’t wait to come back. We didn’t want to leave!

Highly recommend! Firefly Estate Bequia is such a calming and magical place. The grounds are clean, well maintained and surrounded by beautiful trees. The room was spotless, large, and had a welcoming aroma. We were definitely impressed by the room fixtures. We can tell that special care goes into cleaning and maintaining the rooms and property. The balcony is also considerably spacious with exceptional views. We were assisted by staff member Judith, who greeted us on late arrival and was extremely accommodating. Will definitely return.

If you are tired of the beach and have been overwhelmed by the museums a tour of the Firefly Estate provides an alternative. A stroll around the grounds led by a knowledgeable guide gives a unique insight into the flora and fauna of the island. You can follow up the morning tour with a tasty lunch to round off a delightful excursion.

We first stayed at The Firefly 5 years ago on our first visit to Bequia. We had a wonderful experience then, so each year we return to Bequia, whilst we no longer stay there, we make it a must to visit for either lunch or dinner. It still retains its peaceful ambience and there is no better place to sip your rum punch than on their beautiful terrace overlooking the plantation gardens. This year we played 9 holes on their quirky cross country course, which was great fun and gives you a chance to enjoy their lovely garden. Lunch, as always was very well done with lots of imaginative options. I believe they offer a day ticket for US$ 45 which includes a tour of the plantation, use of the golf course and swimming pool and a 2-course lunch. It’s in the diary for next year already.

Amazing hotel in every way. Delicious food, extraordinary views, perfect rooms. Comfortable beds. And a quick one, it's very easy to get to. 5 minutes in a taxi from taxi rank by the main Dock. There's even a free pitch and put 9 hole golf course!!

Sent email requesting dinner reservations for one of two nights. Automatic acknowledgement saying they will be back to me as soon as possible. Nothing happened. Very poor and hardly gives one confidence in anything they might do.
