“Another great stay”

Reviewed 21 April 2013

This was our 4th stay at Sweet Retreat. We have retired to St.Vincent (main island) and we like to visit Bequia every so often; to relax, enjoy the beach and just to take a break. So the Sweet Retreat has basically become our home away from home when visiting Bequia for more than a day. I can't think of any... More

“Speechless”

Reviewed 5 April 2013

So...I'm ashamed to say that I'm just now writing this review after staying with Robert and Shelby at the Sweet Retreat last June, but it was such a memorable experience which must be shared if only in brief. First, R&S started preparing for our arrival months before we actually arrived by getting all of our travel itinerary, activities on our... More

“Fabulous time!”

Reviewed 18 February 2013

We have just returned from a fabulous six-night stay on Bequia. We loved The Sweet Retreat. It is exactly as advertised on its web site and Facebook page. So you can trust that what you read there is just what you will get. But I have to say that we have never stayed at a hotel - boutique or high-end... More

“Wow!”

Reviewed 13 February 2013

Had a lovely stay and was not ready to leave. Shelby and Robert were wonderful hosts. I was disappointed that I could not find space on a trip to the Tobago Cays. Robert came to the rescue and arranged a boat trip (with a packed lunch) to Isle de Quatre for some of their guests. We had the beach there... More

“Great location, great owners, great fun.”

Reviewed 17 January 2013 via mobile

Bequia is a special place, unspoiled in our sanitised world. Sweet Retreat gives the visitor a wonderful window of comfort from which to enjoy the bounty of Bequia. Rob and Shelby add the finishing touches that make the difference between a good stay and a great one. Thank you to them both.

“Amazing place in an amazing setting”

Reviewed 27 November 2012

Top quality establishment. Fantastic location with the best beach on the island and some pretty good snorkelling thrown in, down in the bay. A steep walk back up the hill but worth it for the mega view. High quality food and service at the restaurant. Robert was amazingly helpful, friendly and entertaining. Rooms although no air-con were a decent size,... More

My wife and I just returned home from Bequia after spending 4 nights at the Bequia Sweet Retreat for our honeymoon. First we were speechless. Then WOW, was the first word that came to mind when thinking of the Sweet Retreat. And then a flood of other positive adjectives came to the surface. THE VIEWS: WHOA – you see the... More

Reviewed 13 October 2012

I stayed at the Sweet Retreat last month with my boyfriend for a week and I have to say that it exceeded all of our expectations. The island and the hotel itself are somewhere that we will most certainly consider visiting again. The main highlights of this trip had to be the attentiveness of Robert and Shelby and the wonderful... More

“Lowlight of our Vacation”

Reviewed 6 September 2012

We recently did a 3 island trip in-which everything was wonderful except for The Sweet Retreat. First the positive. The Sweet Retreat is located on the Lower Bay which is a wonderful quiet beach with beautiful water and sand. The location of the B&B was great. However the rooms and the service were quite awful. When booking I mentioned that... More

“Great Stay”

Reviewed 1 July 2012

We stayed in early April as part of a 6 island hopping holiday from St Lucia down to Grenada. Sweet Retreat was great for us and Robert and Shelby who took over, extended and run this 'boutique' hotel do a terrific job. The food is excellent, we especially enjoyed sitting out on the terrace relaxing with a rum cocktail and... More
