Located among the beautiful and unscathed Grenadine islands, the Old Fort sits atop Mount Pleasant on Bequia, the most charismatic of them all. I wanted a private, quiet, romantic, non standard, warm, totally relaxing, fun but very interesting place to visit on our very special 11-11-11 vacation. My research brought me to the Old Fort as fitting the entire expectation... More

After visiting over 40 islands in the Caribbean, Bequia offers the "true Caribbean experience." This is not your average getaway with an ocean view. It is a crafted space, filled with character at every corner. I had the pleasure of staying for three weeks and enjoyed every bit of space I could explore. If you have a choice of islands... More

Bequia is one of very few unspoiled islands in the Caribbean. The Old Fort sits atop a hill overlooking the beautiful Caribbean and you are able to see several of the other Grenadine islands from the fort. If you are traveling with kids, it might not be the "hot spot entertaining spot" you are looking for. There are no TV's,... More

Our 8 night stay at the Old Fort was just perfect. The property is truly one of a kind with historic buildings, a beautiful pool, breathtaking views, and even a pair of friendly resident donkeys. We were able to fully relax and take in all that Bequia has to offer stressed out people in need of a vacation! Can't wait... More

The Schaedle family have loving restored a fort on Bequia that gives you shelter from reality. We stayed a week to escape the hustle and bustle of the grind of life in the US and were richly rewarded for our choice. The staff at the Old Fort exceeded our expectations and the accommodations were first rate and a true experience... More

From the time we got off the ferry in Bequia our holiday was perfect. We were met by Otmar who was the creator of this wonderful place and who has now passed the torch on to his son Quirion.Between the two of them they have provided an oasis of charm and privacy that is unsurpassed on the island. The Old... More

The old fort is a place like no other I've ever been to. The setting is atop a hill with almost 360 views of the ocean from the tower room where we stayed. The breezes were delightful and I even had to ask for a blanket. Other rooms have air conditioning if you want, but we liked the rustic top... More

Just returned from my fourth visit to The Old Fort since I chanced upon it late in 2006. I was stunned by the place then and thought it must surely be the most beautiful, relaxing and romantic place to stay in the whole Caribbean. Amazingly, it's gone on getting just that bit better each time I've been back.. This time... More

We had a chance to stay at the Old Fort in January '06 and we were in absolute heaven! The rooms are very well appointed with lovely furnishings and unique artwork from the West Indies and around the world. The Old Fort is a place like non other with its beautiful stone walls, secluded setting, constant tropical breezes (never saw... More

My wife and I stayed in the tower room for the better part of two weeks. We found Ian and Fiona exceptional hosts to not just us, but everyone that passed through the Fort during out stay. The staff was skilled and attentive and responsive to Fiona's direction. Our room was maintained, even while we sailed for several days. We... More
