The Old Fort, Boutique Hotel & Estate

Our group stayed at Old Fort over the New Year's holiday. Like the other reviews state, the views are spectacular - the ocean by day and shooting stars at night. The property is rustic and very unique, and well suited for those who enjoy nature and open air living. The pool is stunning, and one of the best my group has experienced. Our favorite part of the property was the private chef, which they recommended, Chef Tim. Please ask for him when you stay here! We took taxis to get down to the beach (we loved Curtice taxi, who made our trip special), and it was very easy. Bequia is a special place, and we will be returning.

Finding long term accommodation and one that is dog friendly is a challenge on Bequia, so we were very grateful Quirin gave us the opportunity to stay at the Sugar House. Quirin is a very gracious host, and when he's on island, very responsive and helpful. The Sugar House is a lovely stone structure perfect for 2 to 4 people. It's equipped with most things you would need for daily living; wifi, dishwasher, bed linens, washing machine, freezer, refrigerator, oven, etc. There was no bbq, toaster, TV nor microwave however. (We had our own microwave and TV.) Old Fort is located on a quiet, residential area of Bequia, great for walks. A vehicle is necessary however as beaches, shopping and restaurants are too far to walk to. There is no A/C. During the winter months the temperatures are very pleasant so it's not needed. Summers are very hot however, and as such the temps could get very uncomfortable especially at night. The pool is available if no other guests (from the main house) are using it. It's a lovely spot with beautiful views and sunsets. We enjoyed our stay.

In March, our family of 11 stayed at the Old Fort in Bequia for a week long vacation. What a unique property! We loved the open concept house, the cobbled walls, and the spectacular views from throughout the house. We were also blown away by the master bedroom in the tower that was easily one of the nicest rooms I’ve ever stayed in. We spent a lot of time by the pool, which was the perfect place to relax and take in the ocean views. The house also had tables and seating areas scattered throughout, so there was never a shortage of places to lounge. The kitchen came fully equipped, making family dinners an easy task. And while the house felt secluded on a beautiful property, the bars, restaurants, and beaches were just a short drive away. The host was responsive, attentive, and ensured that his groundskeeper was available for anything we needed. Bequia is a small island but given the location of the property, we were happy that we rented a car. We also frequently walked into town, which was a beautiful walk that took about ~40 minutes. The Old Fort is such a unique property well suited for large groups. I would highly recommend staying here!

My husband and I were so excited to be invited by our dear friend for a getaway to Bequia Island. We had never visited that part of the world before. Well what an incredible place! The entire experience was just amazing! Our friendpicked us up from the Fairy and we drove up to The Old Fort where we were to spend the next week in paradise. The views are just absolutely incredible- the beautiful warm breezes , and the entire Fort just was like something out a movie. We enjoyed the quiet private estate so much - hiking- pool afternoons - romantic dinning on the patio of amazing local lobster tails- star gazing and the best sleeping with beautiful warm gentle air. The little details and historic charm of The Fort are just so special. Our host Quirin was so kind to take us around this beautiful Island and show us some of the local spots. I cannot say enough about this beautiful place- we are already planning our next visit. Thank You Beautiful Bequia See you again soon 🌴 Mindy & Peter

The views were amazing - the property rustic and very unique. The people of the town of Bequia were so accommodating. The owner is attentive and readily available. A trip back in time for sure. Getting taxi is the only way to see island for sure!
