We had a wonderful week at The Firefly Estate Bequia. Our rooms were large and absolutely beautiful. They were very well appointed with a separate bathroom, double shower room, changing area and bedroom with large, super-comfortable, four poster bed. They were immaculately turned down every day whilst we were out exploring Bequia. The Firefly is not a flashy place. It is a very welcoming and relaxing hidden gem, up on the hill, a little bit away from the bustle of the harbour but within a very easy shuttle ride. The views are gorgeous. Jungle, plantation, lawns, palm trees and the sea twinkling a short walk away. The pool is down several steps so this is a hotel for people with good mobility. It is an absolutely lovely temparature and we could watch humming birds feeding from the flowers around us. Breakfast is in a nicely decorated open sided dining area where you can look out through jungle plants to the view beyond and be entertained by little birds hopping through the leaves and the geckos above you. Liz the owner checked in on us very gently a couple of times to make sure everything was going OK and the staff were friendly and relaxed. Overall, the relaxed and gentle vibe of the place suited us perfectly and we would definitely recommend. Bequia itself has a similarly relaxed vibe and the most amazing crystal blue sea and clean beaches. A wonderful trip.

Firefly Estates in Bequia is an idyllic enclave in the middle of an island paradise. It offers the most elusive of luxuries: privacy and quiet. With just four gorgeous (and large) suites, each with expansive balconies and views of the beach in the distance, it has a degree of luxury that will be appreciated by discerning travellers. The king size beds have high quality linens and great pillows, the towels are fluffy and freshly laundered every day, and the housekeeping staff are marvelous. The joy of arriving back to an impeccably clean room and freshly made bed after a sandy day at the beach cannot be overestimated. The rooms do not have TV's - rather you will find lots of novels just begging to be read by the tranquil pool surrounded by swaying palms. If you book directly with the hotel breakfast is included and it was a highlight of our day - fresh fruits and coconut water, locally sourced eggs and home made toast. The hotel is on a plantation about ten minutes inland from the beach - again for us a plus as we loved the beautiful seclusion and blissful quiet of the location. We booked a driver for the whole stay and went back and forth a few times a day with zero issues, and paid one fee at the end which was super reasonable. (Gunno was our driver he is great BTW). We just celebrated our wedding anniversary at Firefly and can confirm that it is also very romantic in a way that a large traditional hotel is not. The hotel makes fabulous pina coladas with coconut from the plantation, and the lionfish is a must try if its on the menu. Cannot recommend this hotel enough.

We booked our stay at the Firefly at relatively short notice as our original plan was to visit and stay on Union Island. However, Hurricane Beryl destroyed the place we had booked last year and the rebuilding wasn’t complete in time for our visit. We were attracted to the Firefly because it’s a small boutique hotel and offers a very different experience to the beachfront accommodation, which we had stayed in, and enjoyed, during our first week on Bequia. We arrived at the Firefly very early but the hotel kindly allowed us to leave our luggage in their safe keeping and enjoy the pool and grounds until we could check in to our room. Our room was exceptionally spacious with a huge bed, complete with mosquito net, 2 sinks, 2 showers and a large terrace. Thanks to Judith for making our room look wonderful each day. The pool area is lovely and we enjoyed having the space all to ourselves on most days of our stay. The gardens are beautiful and there is also a cross country 9 hole golf course. You can also play croquet or rake a tour of the estate (see separate review). The restaurant is great and offers breakfast, lunch and dinner (again, see separate review). Big thanks to Eddy for looking after us in the restaurant and bar area! Communication from Liz before our arrival was great and we appreciated her extended kindness when our flight home was changed at short notice. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Recommended.
