Firefly Estate Bequia

We had a wonderful week at The Firefly Estate Bequia. Our rooms were large and absolutely beautiful. They were very well appointed with a separate bathroom, double shower room, changing area and bedroom with large, super-comfortable, four poster bed. They were immaculately turned down every day whilst we were out exploring Bequia. The Firefly is not a flashy place. It is a very welcoming and relaxing hidden gem, up on the hill, a little bit away from the bustle of the harbour but within a very easy shuttle ride. The views are gorgeous. Jungle, plantation, lawns, palm trees and the sea twinkling a short walk away. The pool is down several steps so this is a hotel for people with good mobility. The water is an absolutely lovely temparature and we could watch humming birds feeding from the flowers around us. Breakfast is in a nicely decorated open sided area where you can look out through jungle plants to the view beyond and be entertained by little birds hopping through the leaves and the geckos above you. Liz the owner checked in on us very gently a couple of times to make sure everything was going OK and the staff were friendly and relaxed. Overall, the relaxed and gentle vibe of the place suited us perfectly and we would definitely recommend. Bequia itself has a similarly relaxed vibe and the most amazing crystal blue sea and clean beaches. A wonderful trip.

We did the garden tour followed by lunch. The garden was fascinating seeing and tasting tropical fruits. Lunch was delicious. A short hike up from Port Elizabeth or take a taxi. A lovely day out.

This review is for the restaurant only. We did not stay at the hotel. Went here with my wife and sister in law for lunch. Started off with the conch cevich which was excellent flavor but tough conch. We shared beef and vegetable samosas which were also pretty good. Sister in law had the Mahi Mahi with a salad that was very tasty. I had the BBQ ribs that I just wish that there were more of them. Excellent service, great food (except conch)nice atmosphere rainforest like views. Would recommend.
