The yatching crowd throngs the hotel bar, a few steps from the surf's edge at Bequia's Admirality Bay. Which is why you'll want a garden room, up the hillside and behind the gray-shingled main building that was originally a sea captain's home. Not only will you find some sanctuary when the Thursday-night barbecue and steel band jump-up gets going, but your balcony just happend to be the best place to watch the boats make their way through the harbor, and the sun set behind the palms. Your quarters are surprisingly large, with stone walls and exposed-beam ceilings, a dressing area, and a ceiling fan that can take over when the almost constant breeze blowing through your louvered doors subsides. After listening to tales of the sea over a Tamarind Teaser or a Hairoun (the local brew), slip off to the open-air restaurant for some fresh lobster and Frangipani's famous lime pie. With that mega-calorie finish, maybe you'd better head over to that jump-up after all. Doubles from $55, garden rooms from $150, December through April; 784-458-3255 or frangipanibequia.com. |
