Fabulous, utterly idyllic.

Tropical Hideaway is so good, we’d actually rather keep it a secret!! The property and facilities made our stay magical and owners/hosts Julie & Martin were a joy. We could not have asked for more, from the exceptional welcome pack (a fridge full of food and drink, snacks plus all the utensils, shampoo, conditioner and mossie stuff you could need) to our accommodation in Palm Cottage which was wonderful.

A living landscape painting

The view from the infinity pool and from the cottages over the Admiralty Bay is really breathtaking. You could stay there all day and just watch the changing colours of the ocean, the sky, the ever-changing formation of illuminated clouds over the horizon when the sun slowly settles, or follow the silent movement of sailing boats, ferries and the occasional cruise ship in the bay. You will even welcome the very rare tropical rain shower (five minutes in three days in my case) as it just increases the chance to enjoy the possibly most beautiful rainbow you’ve ever seen, spanning all over the whole Admiralty Bay. That alone would make the Tropical Hideaway such a great and exceptional place to stay. To me, that’s almost enough for a great holiday location, but there’s more to make it even better: The cottages are very clean, comfortable and beautifully furnished and designed, and they are embedded into a lush tropical garden that surrounds the Tropical Hideaway. The kitchen and its equipment is well-thought. The onsite store with all kinds of food, wine and other beverages is simply a great idea and makes self-supply so much easier. The breakfast on the terrace over the pool and the bay is fantastic. And Martin, Julie and their whole team are very welcoming and hospitable hosts. Thank you for three great days at the Tropical Hideaway!

a slice of Eden. truly fantastic

I cannot say enough about how beautiful the vacation was. The Tropical Hideaway is meticulously constructed and maintained. The staff is friendly and very responsive. The location is beautiful with stunning views no matter where you look. Beautiful gardens on site, well-appointed accommodations and a stunning island. Well worth the trip!

Outstanding!

I just returned from my forth visit to Bequia and another fabulous stay at Tropical Hideaway. I cannot emphasize enough the high level of personal service that the owners, Martin and Julie, provide. They, and their delightful staff, go above and beyond any expectations that you may have.

I would advise any potential visitors to thoroughly explore the website, it contains a wealth of useful information. The pictures, while beautiful, are not photoshopped, nor do they do justice to the amazing pool, accommodations, and scenery.

I have traveled extensively throughout the Caribbean and cannot imagine a better value for the money and I am already planning my next trip to Tropical Hideaway.

Stayed: September 2018, travelled solo

Doesn’t get any better than this

Our expectations were already high during the 3000 miles of flights and rolling ferry boat ride. The taxi ride up to Tropical Hideaway, located just below the crest of the island, increased our excitement. Turning Into the driveway, it was soon evident that our hopes had been fulfilled.
Our little villa was private and luxurious, the staff and hosts Martin and Julie wonderful. The view over the infinity pool is as near infinite as you can get, short of a ride on a space ship.
We’ve been to most of the Caribbean islands over 40+ years. This was as good as it gets.
That must be why Tropical Hideaway has a 5.0 rating on Tripadvisor.

Stayed April 2018

Breathtakingly Beautiful

I “discovered” Tropical Hideaway by chance after browsing through the Internet. After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor, I was hooked and decided to book my accommodation straight away. On my travels over the years, I have visited many stunning locations in this world and Tropical Hideaway did not disappoint. What a fantastic find it turned out to be. The property has absolutely stunning views of Admiralty Bay, it has been built and maintained to a very high standard, the infinity pool – with its pebble stones, is simply out of this world, the rooms are exquisitely appointed and the staff are very warm and welcoming. The owners, Julie and Martin, have clearly invested a considerable amount of time, energy and resource into making Tropical Hideaway a dream destination for those choosing to discover the gems of St Vincent and the Grenadines. Bequia is one of them and offers lovely beaches, lush tropical forests, breathtaking views and trips to nearby islands including the mainland (St Vincent). The island experience is one that is laid back, non-commercial and friendly, which is sure to be appreciated by those seeking relaxation and simplicity.

Date of arrival   December 17

A truly amazing place

Julie and Martin have created a unique little paradise. From the moment we arrived it felt like we were visiting with friends. Their hospitality is second to none and the view from just about anywhere at Tropical Hideaway is to die for. We loved the new “shop” they had created. Choice is excellent and the prices are more than fair. For breakfast try the vegetable open face omelet.

“Incredible Property!”

My wife and I discovered Bequia while surfing the web when we saw a banner ad showing the beautiful infinity pool at Tropical Hideaway. After doing some research we decided to visit and stay in the Palm Cottage at Tropical Hideaway because of the privacy and beautiful harbor views… and are we glad we did! Tropical Hideaway is truly a hidden gem and Bequia is the Caribbean of 50 years ago. Non-commercial and uncrowded we found a tropical island paradise with a relaxed pace of life one could come to get used to… island time!

Our hosts Martin and Julie (who spent 10 years building this incredible place) provided an “over-the-top” experience for us. Photos don’t even begin to capture how magical this property is. They are completely committed to serving their guests, having thought of every creature comfort we needed from food and beverages upon arrival after a long day of travel, to providing us with pool and beach towels, full-size shampoo and conditioner, and elegant silk robes in the closet for us to use. They were always available for a chat and happy to provide advice on places to go and things to do. Tropical Hideaway also has a convenient onsite store that provides an extensive meat/fish/seafood selection, dry goods, wine and spirits… all at local market prices. You can even buy a bottle of Martin’s delicious Rum Punch!

We spent a week on the island and have only just begun our discovery. We will definitely be back and will certainly stay at Tropical Hideaway on our next visit. Thank you Martin and Julie for your hospitality and creating such awesome memories for us! Hope to see you again soon!

“Paradise in Paradise”

Studying on St Vincent is a gruelling affair and getting away to Tropical Hideaway in the break was a truly remarkable experience. Thank you Julie and Martin for all the small details and a completely luxurious stay.

“Nowhere better”

Having travelled to Bequia annually for the last 20 years I thought I’d found some of the most gorgeous properties on the island already, but nothing prepares one for the spectacular views to be found from Tropical Hideaway’s unmatched hillside location on the rather exclusive Bequia Estate.

Palm Cottage stands alone to the side of the main house within lush tropical planting so is totally private while still enjoying the same outlook.
The self-contained unit comprised of an extremely comfortable large double bed, ample hanging space, a sitting area & small but fully stocked kitchenette (including coffee, tea & fresh milk in the fridge), & an immaculate shower room (stocked with full sized shower products).. The movie choice on the ultra modern TV was beyond compare but with the natural beauty to be seen from the lovely balcony, it was completely irrelevant.
The pool… Wow! Huge, infinity edged, glorious, with a swim up bar & coral stone terrace. Must be the best by far on the island.

The hosts, Martin & Julie, couldn’t have been more charming or helpful & while available if necessary to help book taxis or tables for dinner, were not a constant hovering presence as is often the case with room rentals.
As is probably obvious by now, I can’t recommend this fantastic property highly enough.

Liked best:Impossible to choose but probably the view
Liked least:Leaving

“Our stay at the Palm Cottage was beyond expectations!”

It’s with hesitation we share our experience because we want Tropical Hideaway to stay a secret! The attention to detail and the workmanship that make up this special location make no sense if you consider the Return On Investment, until you realize this was intended as a private family compound that the family so graciously now shares with guests fortunate enough to find their way to this special spot. The views and location of this property are fantastic! We loved everything about it, and were made to feel very welcome.

We are from Florida and almost exclusively look for more tropical locations than we can experience in the U.S. The landscaping is well thought out and will only become more lush with time. The buildings are very high quality, beautifully designed, very well thought out with nice attention to detail wherever you look: my wife is an architect and I am an engineer and we both appreciate quality thoughtful execution that you find at Tropical Hideaway. The pool is both incredible and extremely favorably situated for evening cocktails and watching sunset. It is even better than the photos posted. The view is mesmerizing! It was difficult to not want to experience that location all day long, and each evening and not pursue other adventures. We stayed at Palm Cottage which was first class, private, had fantastic harbor views, is very roomy and offered everything needed. Having the small kitchen was great! The large covered balcony was a perfect place to relax, have breakfast (or any meal!) and enjoy the stunning views while humming birds fly about, and seeing double rainbows in the sky.

Realize this island has little to no night life, no traffic lights or stop signs, one bank, etc. This is not for those looking for golf courses, night life or shopping malls and how fortunate we are this still exists…it’s like the real Caribbean was, and almost a little time machine like. It’s exactly what we appreciate: authenticity. I assume those familiar with the island for decades lament the way it used to be, but the rest of us still get to enjoy natural beauty, friendly locals and Prince Margaret Beach has to be one of the best anywhere, and I’ve been to a lot. It’s not as easy to get to as other locations and thankfully it is so. We unfortunately missed the owners, Martin and Julie as they were traveling when we visited for our 25th Anniversary. Hopefully we will get to meet them next trip. Their daughter Corrie was very hospitable and did all she could to help us enjoy our stay. If you are looking for a real island experience and want to do it at a special location, we unhesitatingly recommend Tropical Hideaway. But I hope everyone doesn’t go there!!!

Liked best: Fabulous architecture with incredible views
Liked least: To get the view, you’re up in the hills. You can’t walk everywhere unless you are hikers! Taxi service is easy however, and reasonable.

“Paradise Found”

The chilled rum punch on arrival was very welcome as were the fresh flowers in Palm Cottage, my home for ten days or so. Palm Cottage one of 5 self catering cottages at Tropical Hideaway with extensive views over Admiralty bay the wonderfully sheltered harbour where Port Elizabeth the Capital of Bequia can be found.

Palm Cottage was wonderfully appointed with fan and air conditioning. Fully equipped kitchen including two coffee makers, a cafetiere/french press and an Italian coffee maker.

A welcome pack of chilled drinks and essential foodstuffs had thoughtfully been provided. An extensive booklet with food shop and restaurant listings was very helpful together with taxi numbers and all manner of helpful information.

The heated swimming pool (heated.. evidently a rarity on Bequia) was lovely and very nearly the largest on the island, but certainly the deepest. The pool also has a magnificent view and has an ice maker and glasses etc so one can enjoy sit-up cocktails. The owner Julie and Martin worked very hard to ensure a good time was had by all and nothing was too much trouble. Even to the late check out so I could have the morning on the beach.

I shall be back

“Best place to stay in Bequia”

My wife and I stayed 8 nights in Palm Cottage. This was our first stay at Tropical Hideaway, but we have stayed on Bequia a number of times. Palm Cottage was great and Tropical Hideaway is, without doubt, the best place to stay on Bequia. The infinity pool and view of the harbor are fabulous. The hosts, Martin and Julie are very friendly and accommodating. They have a wealth of local knowledge.

If it were possible to give them a 10 out of 5 we would. The view is beautiful, and the room is amazing. Martin and Julie are very nice people and we would stay again.

“Beyond expectations!”

I really cannot say enough about our stay at the Tropical Hideaway. From the moment Julie picked us up a the airport to the moment Martin dropped us off everything was better than our expectations. Martin and Julie are absolutely delightful and warm, and really helped us enjoy our time on Bequia. The room was fantastic, and all of our needs had been anticipated. Our unit was stocked with a supply of food and beverages, and there was a vase of flowers. Staff was also helpful and respectful. But, the best part for us was getting visited by the owner’s three Bengal cats! They visited us at the pool (an amazing pool!) and came to see us in our room! Very sweet to have charming pets while on vacation. 🙂 And, Martin’s rum punch is a winner, which he shared freely! Thank you for a perfect vacation! We recommend the Tropical Hideaway without hesitation and we plan to visit again!

“The best and beyond expectations”

This is most probably the best holiday we have ever had (and we do travel a lot). Not only the island itself is so perfect that we would quite happily move there tomorrow but Tropical Hideaway was beyond our expectations (which were quite high).

What makes it so special? The location, idyllic view and facilities – yes, but even more importantly the owners. Martin and Julie make it special. We arrived as guests and left as friends. Tropical Hideaway is THE place to stay and we cannot wait to go back!

“Truly idyllic spot, delightful hosts thought of everything – already planned repeat visit”

We have travelled much of the Caribbean and had visited Bequia a couple of times by boat vowing to return for a land visit. Found Tropical Hideaway to be the perfect spot f
rom which to explore the island. Located high on a hillside overlooking beautiful Admiralty Bay, TH is the realization of a dream retreat developed lovingly by Martin & Julie Mansfield (aided by their three daughters). They have thought of just about everything one needs or wants on an island respite: Ease upon arrival (we were met at the airport and brought directly to our villa and given a tour), Privacy (the cottages are sighted along stone paths in beautiful gardens), luxury (nice linens, luxe toiletries), and many thoughtful extras like a welcome pack of fruit, juice, milk, tea, coffee and bubbly so you don’t have to run to the store on arrival. They also keep some stores so you can get something you might have forgotten in town & have a selection of wines for purchase. One is tempted to loll in the dramatic infinity pool, pool bar or the shaded gazebo near the pool all day, but Martin & Julie have suggestions for what to do and how to do it as well as a car for hire or they will arrange for a taxi. It is the custom on the island to work with one taxi driver throughout your stay which was a lovely way to learn more about the island and make friends with the driver and his or her family. Youngest daughter, Corrie Mansfield, was visiting from the UK and Zimbabwe while we were there and was available for some of the best massages we have ever had. We arrived as bedraggled guests in need of a vacation and left friends of the Mansfields planning our return visit. Ideal for couples. A car is useful but not essential.

“Paradise”

Our second visit to Tropical Hideaway and our second stay in Palm Cottage. A few changes. The garden is more magnificent and the rum punch tastes even better. I think Martin has the secret,I am going to go back again for the recipe.
Bequia is a beautiful,peaceful Island and to stay at the Tropical Hideaway is the icing on the cake. Thank you Julie, Martin and Corrie.

“A beautiful holiday location.”

Tropical Hideaway is everything you could want from a holiday on Bequia. The location is absolutely superb with a constant cooling breeze and fantastic views.
Palm cottage is everything anyone could want with immaculate facilities, well stocked kitchen and the most comfy bed ever!
Martin and Julie are the most kind and thoughtful of hosts who have planned Tropical Hideaway with great attention to detail with their guests comfort to the fore.
I would recommend Tropical Hideaway to anyone and hope to return in the not to distant future.

Liked best: The accommodation – its location, quality and comfort
Liked least: Nothing

“Perfect paradise”

We have just returned from a week in Palm Cottage and can not sing its praises highly enough; we had the most fabulous time there! Martin and Julie, the owner/managers, are a lovely, friendly couple who are justly proud of having built Tropical Hideaway and created a magnificent retreat there. They strike a perfect balance between being friendly (Martin mixes a wicked rum punch!) and there if you need them, or allowing guests all the privacy that the accommodation is wonderfully able to provide.

Everything in Palm Cottage and in the rest of Tropical Hideaway has been designed with immense attention to detail and Martin and Julie have considered everything that guests might need/want (including knives in the kitchen which are actually sharp – something which is often annoyingly neglected in even the most luxurious accommodation) and tiny touches which guests appreciate (e.g. kimono gowns, discounts at a local grocery store). There was no compromise on quality or aesthetics when the cottage was designed and built (e.g. the base and sides of the pool are beautifully tiled with cobbles, there are bar seats in the pool and there is a very relaxing day bed) and the accommodation is extremely well appointed (huge library of current films and radio, delicious bedlinen, highly comprehensive and informative client information book and much more).

The views of the harbour (Admiralty Bay) from the cottage and the infinity pool are breathtaking…as is the ascent! Many of the roads on Bequia are extremely steep and in some parts of the world might be regarded as “walls”, or suitable for funicular railways! The walk back up from Port Elizabeth is challenging, even for the fittest of guests, but taxis are available for only 25EC$. A mobile phone is available and it is possible to order a takeaway meal from one of the best restaurants on the island, or just a pizza, and then have it collected and delivered by a taxi driver, although the starter pack of food and drinks was very generous. It is also possible to hire a 4-wheel drive from Martin and Julie for a day or more and I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone wanting to explore the island independently.

I am almost reluctant to tick the “yes” answer to the “would you recommend this rental to a friend?” question, as I know it gets booked up very quickly and we hope we will be able to return there! Still, it is one of the best places I have ever rated as 5/5.

“Palm Cottage has a view that only gets better”

Palm Cottage has everything you could want for self catering accommodation with the addition of close proximity to the amazing infinity pool and a beautiful view of the harbour.
The kitchen is fantastically well equipped with a very generous starter pack if you book for the appropriate duration. Not only that, but you get a large screen TV with an extraordinary selection of up-to-date HD movies on demand, as well as lots of music to listen to.

“Perfection is tropical hideaway”

My wife and I Arrived on the 30th of December from a cold wet UK and met up with a group of friends for two weeks in bequia.

Julia kindly picked us up from the ferry from st Vincent and drove us up to the tropical hideaway . This place is simply just amazing , awesome. The views are best on the island . Martin and Julie showed us around explaining everything that we needed, they are great hosts.

Corrie there daughter is also a perfect host and gives fantastic spa treatments . I recommend highly her massages best on the island by far.

The room is just perfect Has everything you could possibly need. The whole place is just awesome .If anyone is thinking of coming to bequia I would highly recommend that you stay here.

They have built a truely fantastic place,clue being in the name it is a “tropical hideaway”.

I look forward to returning time and time again

Thank you so much Martin , Julie , corrie so making our holiday, stay,time on the lovely bequia just fantastic.

Tropical hideaway in my opinion should be displaying a 5 star excellence sign from trip advisor on entrance as nothing on the island matches its location, it’s rooms, pool, atmosphere, it’s views and of course the owners helpfulness and kindness.

“What a find!”

It was an experience whilst staying in Palm Cottage,Tropical Hideaway, Bequia.
The accommodation was well thought out and the beds extremely comfortable. The views from the balcony were second to none.
It was a two week break and I have never felt so relaxed. Palm cottage is close to the Hideaway infinity pool and this,in itself, is worth travelling for. From the edge of the pool you look out over the bay and visiting boats,both big and small.
Palm cottage is a little way out from the hustle and bustle of the main port,but it’s position is unique . It is the perfect place to chill out.

“A Little Heaven on Earth”

Palm cottage is well appointed with the most superb view over the bay. 
The owners have provided quality fittings and furniture and,importantly, an extremely comfortable bed.
The self catering facilities cover everything that you need on a holiday and to dine on the balcony with a spectacular view is a pleasure.

“Palm Cottage and the Tropical Hideaway experience are the 8th Wonder of the World!”

Our second visit to Bequia but first to Tropical Hideaway, and though eagerly anticipated by the excellent website, nothing could have prepared us for the reality of Martin and Julie’s creation of their dream. We stayed in Palm Cottage, a luxuriously appointed, private accommodation for two with views to die for, yet very conveniently situated close to the villa’s star attraction-the infinity pool complex.
From start to finish nothing was too much trouble for Martin or Julie, -not that much had been omitted- but it was the little touches, a complimentary starter pack of essentials, offers of a lift into town, through supply of superglue for my wife’s broken (sat on) sunglasses, to impromptu rum punch drinks parties, that really made our stay more than special. I can certainly say that life doesn’t get much better than sipping a glass of Martin’s Famous while watching the sun go down from the edge of the infinity pool.
Palm Cottage itself is spotlessly clean, extremely well equipped, has the most fabulous views over Port Elizabeth and beyond, and yet while being close to the pool complex and the main house, still enjoys a unique privacy which gives an overall comfortable feeling of living in your own luxurious tree-house! The trade wind breezes, through sliding netting doors kept us comfortably cool overnight without the need for the installed aircon and (if you keep the doors shut as advised by Martin and Julie) completely mosquito-free. For eating out in the evening anti-mossie lotion is advised, but another nice touch was a complimentary bottle of ‘Off’, along with all kinds of other complimentary toiletries and sundries, tea, coffee, sugar, snacks etc.
Having previously visited the Island, we had experience of where to go, what to do, where to eat etc, but as always Martin and Julie supplied up to date, pertinent advice from personal experience, which was accurate, and from our perspective very useful-we enjoyed one of our best meals ever in the Caribbean at L’Auberge.
What more can I say? Other than thank you Julie and Martin for sharing your dream with us, and successfully turning your piece of Bequia into a five (or even six) star Paradise.

“Five stars”

The owners, Julie and Martin, met us on arrival and very thoughtfully briefed us on the cottage as well as the infinity pool and the general rhythm of the Hideaway.

There are some features of the venue that are unique. Virtually all rainwater is collected and used on site. Potable water is delivered to the cottages. Hot water is created by solar. As Beqia is on the arid side the “green” aspect of solar heated water is very environmentally friendly.

The grounds are immaculate with very much care given to native plants as well as to the small potted plants of lettuce, arugula and basil (Martin told us we could pick some – honest!) It truly is soothing to simply take in the landscaping.

As for the cottages the sense is one of excellent design. The spaces, sense of proportion and views all work together to make the cottage unique. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, glasses and plates (that actually matched one another, some places have a motley collection of mismatched plates. Palm has all-matching plates) plus a nice-sized fridge. The bathroom is modern with a very nice shower and modern plumbing fixtures. Towels are provided and are high quality. Julie (one of the owners) went out of her way to find a couple beach towels for us to take to the beach every day which meant a lot to us. There is a nice drying rack for towels, suits, etc on the balcony. The balcony is large and unbeatable in terms of views.

The room is provided with a large screen TV on which can be viewed (for free) a zillion movies from their library (we didn’t use this option as we were on Bequia to scuba dive and hang out on the beach). The room has WiFi as does the rest of the grounds which is very convenient for keeping up with events at home. We did spend a fair amount of time enjoying the infinity pool with the other guests who all were pleasant conversationalists and, of course, interesting to meet and socialize with.

No review would be complete without a rave over Martin and Julie, the owners. Exceedingly nice people in their own right, they were extremely gracious hosts who never missed the opportunity to ask how were were doing or if we needed anything or if they could inform us on some aspect of Bequia.

We fully intend to return to this wonderful place!

“A Place you will want to return to”

From the moment we stepped on the island, our Tropical hidewaway hosts had our needs met. Delivery to their location, access to be able to get around, a wealth of ideas and information. The facilities were all top notch, clean, lovely decor, breath taking views and a wonderful pool!
We were in the Palm cottage – but any one of the rooms would have been fabulous

“In The Palm – this is the Picturesque, Private, Idle of the Tropical Hideaway”

Nestled in the tropical garden, this private cottage gave us the opportunity to unwind and and loose our selves in the beauty of the island. My very first morning I stood on the balcony taking in the site and sounds as humming birds moving between the trees just feet away. Overlooking the Bay the harbour gave new interest every day with ships and boats of all sizes.
Our cottage, catered for our every need, it has a efficient kitchen area and luxurious shower room, a multimedia system provided film and music , with Wi- Fi for all our entertainment and communications, when we returned from our days exploring. I couldn’t recommend this holiday more. We had an adventure every day at the Palm, we could decide what activity we wanted to do, as the pool became our alternative to the beach if we chose not to journey out. In the evening socialising in the pool with drinks at the bar, watching the sunset to night sky it all sounds like a dream now.

“A dream holiday.”

Before I start, would like to Thank Martin and Julie for everything they did to help us feel at home whilst at Tropical hideaway. Tropical hideaway is beautiful!! Martin
and Julie have buillt the perfect holiday hideaway. We stayed in Palm cottage, which is a lovely big self contained cottage. It has a kitchenette and a gorgeous veranda with the most breath taking views. Whilst out for dinner we met a couple who said that the pool at Tropical hideaway is the best pool in all of Bequia. I agree. We could spend hours in the pool, just looking at the view. We would definitely go back. Word to the wise, avoid walking up the hill after going to town!

“A perfect holiday.”

I wish I could have stayed forever! This private villa felt like home away in paradise. Julie and Martin (the owners) were kind and made sure we had everything we needed for our short visit to Bequia. They drove us down to the boardwalk and gave us great suggestions for dinner. The rooms were beautiful and had ammenities that you can’t find many other places in Bequia. The infinity pool was georgous; there was no need to go to the white sand beach which was a short taxi ride away. I hope to return in the near future. This is a private residence and not like a hotel.

“This is a truly spectacular tropical hideaway”

These pictures do not lie! It really is this amazing tropical hideaway high up overlooking the bay with stunning views!! What they have done here is truly amazing. It is a great value and reasonably priced We (4 adults) stayed 11 nights in the Palm Cottage and the Hibiscus Cottage. They were nestled in the tropical gardens with wonderful little walkways through the gardens They are private, self contained with kitchen dishes etc. Julie and Martin are very accommodating and personable They left us some food items and wine in the fridge. They each have a balcony to sit out on and we had a washer in our cottage (Palm Cottage) Martin has a wonderful selection of movies and music to entertain you in the evening. Would I go back?? You bet You will not be disappointed!!
