The Liming Bequia

Bequia, St Vincent and the Grenadines

Virgin rating

The hotel

One of the last bastions of Caribbean exclusivity, the islanders of Bequia know how special it is – which is why the owners of this beach retreat only invite a handful of guests to stay at any one time. With just nine luxury villas, one chic Junior Suite, and the five bedroom mansion house to pick from, each with its own infinity pool or hot tub, it has the feel of a private and very exclusive estate. This elite edge continues at The Liming’s dining room, where seafood is fresh from the ocean and many other ingredients are island-sourced – and it’s all served on the sea-top terrace (or in your villa or suite if you fancy even more privacy).

From the moment we arrived, Shadell, Tyra, and Chef Ray embraced us with warmth, making us feel like part of the family. Shadell and Tyra’s radiant smiles set the tone for each day, filling it with positivity and joy. The service was consistently superior and timely, with every request attended to gracefully and with charm. Interim GM Pascal, from the Plantation Resort, provided exceptional executive oversight and personalized support. From arranging transportation to facilitating memorable excursions, Pascal ensured that we fully experienced the intimacy and beauty of the island. Chef Ray was a true culinary artist, accommodating any dish we desired—even those not on the resort’s menu. His flexibility and talent added a unique and delightful touch to our stay. The resort itself is the epitome of first-class luxury. True to its mantra, The Art of Doing Nothing, the ambience, beauty, and comfort of The Liming made it effortless to relax and unwind. I highly recommend The Liming and am already looking forward to our return. To the owners: your staff—Shadell, Tyra, Ray, and Pascal—is the greatest amenity of all. They deserve the highest praise and thanks for making our stay unforgettable. Read less

We loved every minute of our stay and can’t wait to return again next winter! Everything was perfect. Exactly what we both needed to relax and recharge. Friendly and welcoming staff. Awesome meals and service. We did a trip into town and had a wonderful tour around. Highly recommend the BBQ dinner on the patio of your suite under the stars!

I just returned from what was supposed to be a 10 day vacation in this “luxury villa” at The Liming!!! We left after 3 days (only because we couldn’t fly out any sooner)! The place is completely DILAPIDATED, MOLD-RIDDEN, and MOUSE-INFESTED? Beware! The photos advertising this place throughout the internet, were probably taken over 20 years ago! The fact that there was a dead mouse laying in the middle of the living room when we arrived, was clearly the first sign of things to come! The furniture is old, stained and worn. Doors and woodwork throughout the house….old and cracking. Paint is peeling through the place. The faucets/shower fixtures in the bathrooms are corroded, escutcheons are missing. Mold is evident on the exterior of the property as well as all around the pool decking. Electrical outlets on the walls are loose and crooked. The stainless on the stove/hood and throughout the kitchen is discolored from moisture and heat (the kitchen isn’t air-conditioned. There was an air-conditioner present but non-functional). When we opened the dishwasher the day after arrival, the stench could’ve knocked you over! It was clearly non-functional and the mold growing inside it was incredible (hence the foul-odor!). The windows throughout the house were filthy. The dining room chairs were so stained and dirty, we were compelled to cover them with beach towels before we even sat down. We found mouse droppings behind the TV unit and inside the electrical outlet (that was not covered) in the “media room” (which explained the dead mouse on arrival). The place was clearly infested. We were told (only upon arrival) that the house ran on collected rain water, that the water coming out of the faucets was not safe to drink, and that only the ice-maker was “filtered”. The water coming out of the faucets was literally yellow/brown! We had to shower in brackish water for 3 days! They advertise that a private BBQ chef can come and prepare a meal for you and your guests at $150pp, but the BBQ pit is not even finished (construction)? The entire place is an un-sanitary, health-hazard!! The resort’s restaurant is a complete other story. The food is lack-luster. The first night we were there, we ordered fish. The odor of it when it was brought to the table was off-putting enough. You couldn’t even get the fish to pull away from its bones. It was simply inedible. The next morning we went down for breakfast and I ordered a fruit plate. It had 4 pieces of fruit on it!! So I then requested an additional croissant only to be told that they were “all out”. We went to breakfast at 8:30a! The next day we ordered fries at lunch, only to be told they were “all out of fries”. The third day we wanted an omelet with cheese and were told they were “all out” of cheese!! To top this off, there were a group of feral cats that appeared every day at the restaurant….that proceeded to jump onto the tables (after guests departed) to eat whatever was left on their plates!! This was by far the worst vacation I have ever experienced. What you see on-line is not at all what you get! We were a group of 5 that traveled from the US and France to get here. We were grateful that the hotel refunded our unused nights, but they still charged us $5000US (daylight robbery for the accommodations provided) for the 3 nights we had to stay there!!! Not to mention the cost to re-arrange everyone’s flights to get out of that place and back to a safe/clean/sanitary environment. Simply unbelievable! Read less
