About the host

Host profile image
We heartily welcome all guests to this special place and promise to do our very best in making your vacation with us as extraordinary as possible. I grew up on Bequia and as a little child helped my parents rebuild the old ruins which were once a part of the ancient plantation hundreds of years ago. When I was seventeen I left the island to live in Europe where I worked for various renowned hotels such as the Amsterdam Hilton and the Kempinski Four Seasons. I also took the time whilst in Europe to complete my degree which I did in International Hospitality Management and International Marketing Management at London Metropolitan University. Should you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to let me know anytime. We are here to accommodate you to the best of our ability and will do our utmost for you to feel comfortable!

Why they chose this property

The Old Fort Estate is the only fully restored plantation in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and one of only a select few in the world. Unfortunately most of them are now derelict and have been abandoned. The property's history together with the way it is laid out majestically, set on what is arguably the grandest estate on the island makes it very special. The acreage which stretches down several hillsides to the Atlantic Ocean beneath. The fact that Christmas Eve 2018 marked my parents 40th year of arriving on the island gives us a knowledge of the area which is unparalleled. This translates into a superior type of service which we can offer due to the many connections we have made over the years. There are numerous other reasons why you should stay at this property, such as the majestic views which are arguably the best on the island, the various spacious bedrooms and areas around the property. The way the property has been rebuilt in unique fashion, the various additional services such as the option of chartering our own 40 foot powerboat; not to forget of course the fact that Bequia is one of the most beautiful unspoiled islands to be at in the entire Caribbean.

What makes this property unique

There are many benefits such as the undisturbed environment giving you extreme harmony with nature. The very beautiful views overlooking the estate grounds and ocean with its various hikes and two unspoiled beaches which are only a short distance away. The large openly laid out property with its majestic suites set in various areas of the property making it very private even if one is there with friends and family. The fact we are so adaptable to any of our guest's requirements. The majestic gardens containing numerous species of palms and flowers. The history of the building and various surrounding areas of which a group of archaeologists have again excavated an entire new section within the estate's grounds. The fact that Bequia is such a great island to visit! What about the option of excursions and boat trips to other islands, sailing anyone, eco tours, hiking & fishing, the benefits you would get really go on and on. But most importantly guests get to feel the true local vibe of the island and become a part of history when staying with us.
