Gingerbread Suites

A traditional Caribbean place offering 6 rooms all to a high local standard. Ideally situated within easy walking distance of town and the restaurants, it is also convenient for beaches. Offering views of the harbour, there is always water activity to see. The rooms, all of which have a sea facing balcony, are serviced every day and have a kitchen, a spacious shower area and large bedroom. The small garden is well maintained and all the staff are delightful, with nothing too much trouble.

This hotel has so many great attributes. Start with location. Port Elizabeth is the heart of Bequia. It is small and quaint. And this hotel is right in the middle of it all. It is a short walking distance to the ferries that take you to the other islands in the Grenadines. No problem for roll-away luggage on the narrow Belmont Walkway along the harbor. The ATM and bank, Knight's Landing grocery store (the largest in Port Elizabeth), Princess Margaret Beach, and most of the best restaurants are within a few minutes' walk along the harbor walkway. Another attribute. The view. The views from the hotel are outstanding. We booked the Admiralty Suite online directly with the hotel and not only got the best pricing as compared to the usual hotel booking sites, but we were also assured that we booked the specified suite that we wanted. If we were to book again with this hotel, we would definitely book the Admiralty Suite directly with the hotel. It is on the first floor, and we think it had the best views given the placement of the trees on the property. Another attribute. The service. The service was excellent. Haissam, the head manager, ensured that we had everything that we needed or requested, from citronella coils and bug sprays, to blankets, to fixing our safe box. He was especially helpful in recommending restaurants. Although the Whalebone and Frangipani were good, Jack's Bar and the Plantation were better. But the best by far was Mac's, just steps away. We found their pizza to be so good that we had it nearly every day at one meal or another. Two final attributes. The massage services and the scuba diving. Massage services are available just above Jacks Bar. The 90-minute service was outstanding. There are two dive shops just steps away from the hotel. We chose the one closest to the hotel, Dive Bequia. Although more expensive, the shop, boat, and staff were excellent. The other shop, Dive Adventures were just a minute further away. Both had docks nearly in front of the hotel. It was fun getting up in the morning and walking just two minutes to the dock and the shop for a 900 am dive and then going back to the hotel for a snack afterwards before the next 1100 am dive.

I don’t usually write reviews but when it’s needed I can’t help it!… I visited Gingerbread Suites with my two boys and our stay was one of a kind!.. The staff that checked us in (Sharon) was very helpful, informative and her face is like it was built for her bright and welcoming smile. She took us to our room which was very clean and amazingly beautiful and made sure we were comfy and settled with everything we needed. Unfortunately our time there was during the hurricane Beryl and it’s the first one my sons ever witnessed, we were SCARED!!!…Which brings me to the next person we met!.. the manager of the hotel (Haysam) “I hope I spelt his name right”… he put a lot of effort into his guest. His passion and drive to keep us comfortable and safe during the hurricane was unbelievable!!.. He ran around in the pouring rain, knocking on our doors shouting…“are you ok”…I really couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw him climbing on the roof top to fix whatever was broken up there, he offered us food, extra water, charged our phones when the electricity got disconnected and did whatever it took to make sure we were ok and his reassurance made us feel safe!.. For the entire time he was literally going nonstop in soaking wet clothes, bare feet and he was driven and very motivated to keep us comfortable and safe. What a lovely memory of Gingerbread Suite!! It’s a pitty I didn’t get to meet more of the staff as my stay was just for two nights (during the hurricane). I had a brief chat with the security and he was very friendly yet stern!.. I think I’m gonna steal him when I get my dream house on the lovely island of Bequia😁. To the manager and staff of Gingerbread Suite, thank you for accommodating my boys and I. We look forward to another stay at your lovely Suite when there isn’t a hurricane. 😊

Fabulous week spent here in a cute room with four poster bed - we were upstairs so had a great view out onto the water. Great location for restaurants and town. Water and motorised taxis were plentiful. Great little kitchen if you fancied doing any meals - we didnt as so many nice places to eat out at. Wonderful, helpful staff. Highly recommended

Deuxième séjour à Gingerbread pour notre plus grand plaisir. Emplacement parfait, très grande chambre, une vraie salle de bains et une cuisine fonctionnelle . Belle terrasse meublée de nombreux fauteuils très confortables. Petit jardin tres bien entretenu . L’établissement est parfaitement géré par un couple très sympathique. Hate d’y retourner .
