This was my third trip to Tranquilityand I'll be back next winter. I usually stay for three to four weeks, so I've gotten to know Lucelle very well, and she has gotten to know me very well. For my needs her place is perfect. It's on the beach and I snorkel every day off the beach down the hill. This year I saw a Spotted Eagle Ray which was quite a sight, but there are many species of fish by the rock outcroppings nearby. Young Pt. Island is within range too, but there is a current there on either side of the island that you need fins to feel comfortable in. My vacations consist mostly of hiking and snorkeling, but I am also very interested in the people. Lucelle invited me to a funeral of one of her many relatives, and to a political convention of the ULP. She was willing to take me to some Petroglyphs after the convention naerby that are over 2000 years old. She is interested in exploring her island too, and she is willing to drive her guests to places that would cost a lot by taxi. You can take the dollar buses as well, and they are very quick, but they don't go everywhere, and not wishing to impose, I was always telling Lucelle, "I'll take the dollar bus", you don't have to drive me, and she would always counter, "But I have to go there anyways" or "it will cost you a fortune to get there" or "I want to visit my relatives who I haven't seen in a long time who live there". She has thousands of relatives, or at least that is how it seemed. I usually spend one week on Bequia, which is a favorite destination of European tourists, but St Vincent is is relatively tourist free. I wouldn't recommend renting a car on St Vincent and you can really walk everywhere on Bequia. St Vincent is a very folded up volcanic island. You are always either going up a steep hill, or down a steep hill. Tranquility is just outside of the largest city on St Vincent. The accomodation is spartan, but my bed was comfortable, the stove worked, the air conditioning was great at night, and the view from my deck, particularly the sunsets were spectacular. I saw the infamous Green Flash one night as the sun set. They will do your laundry for you, for a reasonable fee, and Lucelle takes a great interest in every guest she has, and will probably cook a traditional St. Vincent meal for you at some point if you stay long enough. I keep coming back every winter. There is an extra cost in getting there since there is as yet no international airport, but the experience being there is well worth the extra cost, especially if you can afford to spend more than two weeks of the year away from the winter where I live in Ontario. I have done Cuba, Barbados, Florida, and maybe there are a lot of winter paradises that I would enjoy, but after those experiences I seriously doubt I would ever find a place that suited my needs as much as St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and I would always stay at Tranquility for most of my trip there.

Mrs. Providence is wonderful and the best host of any guest house/apartment hotel I've come across.
The apt accommodations are simple yet quite sufficient. (all rooms do have balconies and separate entrances) Things to note: wifi, electric converter and surge strip (plug multiple devices), fridge and stove, table and sofa, hot water. screened windows to keep out mosquitoes, dvd player, fan, tv (2 local stations). no restaurant, yes parking. Definite hidden gem, at least for what we needed. Make no beans this is not a big name fancy dont know my name hotel. It's still great. yep it is.

local bus to town is $1 ECD 10min without traffic. you can get to anywhere on the island from the town bus terminal. leeward and east stands. [rush hour traffic morning 7a is THE worst -dont plan to get to airport or island ferry (to bequia 30m-1h ride to other island) at 8 or 9am otherwise leave VERY EARLY] Current airport drive usually 5-10min.
we learned the bus system easily and got around just fine. 1$EC here $5EC there, i.e. georgetown,

TRANQUILITY BEACH HOTEL is our St Vincent place to stay FOR SURE! pleasant, safe comfortable and quiet AND on the beach!!

I try not to post about places that i would like to keep to myself. this place is a gem among the jewel of an island. As stated by previous posters this is a basic facility but what it has to offer supersedes it physical presence. calm overcomes you as you look out over the sea and listen to the crash of the waves. the abundance of stars at night are a plus for me. trhis is hill country and you will have to trek over some steep ones so this is not for the faint at heart. i found that after a few days it gets easier and good for you. i just liked the place. i did not get to met ms lucille as she was in the states but hope to when i return in feb.

We chartered a boat from Barefoot and spent several days here prior to the rest of the crew arriving. This place is basic, clean, comfortable, pleasant, friendly with a great view and on one of the best swimming beaches on the island. Be aware that this island is not known for great beaches. It is quite poor, the infrastructure and amenities are 3rd world, and basic things you take for granted at home are unknown. It is beautiful and the people were uniformly and genuinely, friendly, helpful and warm. Especially Lucelle, the proprietor of this inn, who made us feel like we were visiting an old friend! Really great experience.
