It is a very nice property. Unfortunately there was only one sheet and the air was very cold, so I had bad nights, and turning up the temperature was risking mosquito bites. The mosquito net is not appropriate for the size of the bed. The bed needs a good adjustment and it makes a hard sound every time you move or sit down. We understand that the water pressure may be low, but bathing took longer than usual, however it was warm which contrasted with the cold air in that room. Apart from everything, it was very nice, comfortable, with a nice view, we always had little birds by the window and a chicken that walks around the back of the hotel. Christine (I think that is her name), is at the reception, as a waitress, attentive to details, was very kind and helped us find a solution to a problem that we had.

The Frangipani hotel is the most beautiful hotel just on the outskirts of town. The staff are incredibly friendly and very helpful. My room had the best view across the bay, and was always kept clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend!

In short, don't stay here if you want to get any sleep or value service in any way, I think this place is an actual scam. The hotel has/operates a bar on premise that stays open very late and blasts music, making it impossible for anyone at the "hotel" to sleep until they finally turn off the music (we're talking 1am ). If you see Google saying the bar "closes" at 10pm, that's not accurate, it stays open much later. I have no idea how this hotel has very many guests given this, basically everyone has to stay up until the bar shuts down/the DJ gets tired, it's literally at the hotel. I feel like the hotel was a complete scam, and have never seen a setup like this before, there's zero sound insulation. Service otherwise was virtually nonexistent, they didn't seem happy to have me check-in, and ghosted me at the front desk for ten minutes with no explanation, then suddenly came back to check me in.

We like the location close to the great beaches and nearby restaurants, had a cool bar and dining set up over looking the waters, didnt try their food or drinks no comment there. Stayed one night for over $600ec and was placed in one room without a AC or working fan some lights didnt work no 120v outlet made a complaint to get upgrade to a sloghtly better building across the way all was fine until we had to go to the bathroom that had a large investation of millipeded and 2 small gieko, couldnt do another night, they can keep the over priced change, the manager didnt have any courtesy to even address us at any point, theres way too much nicer place in bequia to stay. THIS is My honest experience

I like the seaview from room window I liked the balcony and view I made a booking with Expedia for two nights at the rate of $50 USD per night. Expedia do not take the money but Frangipani was supposed to. My cards are all working for bookings everywhere else. Frangipani rejected payments several times. I wrote many emails to say I would be turning up and will pay upon arrival. When I turned up Sabrina the owner/manager, said she was no way going to let me have the website price that is shown on my reservation. She claimed the price was for one night, but clearly as you will see, it says two. Then she said it was a special offer for locals only. Local independence day. Another load of codswallop. I had seen these advertised prices for so many weeks, long before I even arrived in the country. She could see I had lots of bags and that I would have little choice. So,then she cancelled my booking and told me to make another booking. Then she contacted Expedia immediately so when I looked the prices had more than doubled. I asked why she changed the prices as I knew she did because she ran away from the counter for so long. She did not deny. She said she contacted Expedia and asked them to remove the offer ASAP. And they did. She cancelled my reserved booking, and did not honour this out of decency. She said 'there is no way I am giving you a room at $50 per night'. It did not matter that this was advertised at this price. Totally unfair and false advertising

Bequia is very unique in itself. Some things just fit in a person's lifestyle and Bequia is and has been in the past the place for me. I am not a FIVE STAR traveler but not because I am cheep, most of my life has been 5 STAR. Once you have been to Bequia you just feel it. It is not the Frangipani it is the whole Island. I stayed in a private home on the north east windward side for a month first. 4.2 km walk in to Port Elizabeth, who does that, I did. I had no intention when I first went down walking. I did 13.2 kms one day. Good for me and my health I would say. Unfortunately Bequia will change, newer resorts and the Cruise Boats are somewhat taking over when they come in but good for the local people I would think, extra Income. Bequia has one serious problem and that is "LITTER" every where and designated garden areas are full of "LITTER" and weeds, commercial buildings near the waterfront need maintenance and paint, wooden pallets covering opening on the sidewalk. First impressions count and this is terrible. All it requires is locals volunteering to clean up their area in your personal space. You have to be there to understand. We have had this same concern and the area I live in which is a famous tourist area in Ontario. They need Education on this and heavy fines. We need the same here. I don't mean to be the mouthy tourist who sits on the outside wining. It is a very inexpensive fix and extremely important. You just have to walk around. Bequia is the best

Rustic historical hotel right on bay

I stayed in one of the basic rooms with a shared bath. After a week living on a boat, it was perfectly lovely and clean. The hotel has been operating since the 1800’s which is pretty cool.
