The Infinity Pool is a stunning feature of the property and with the environmentally friendly solar heating, the pool can be enjoyed at all times of the year. Typically our daytime pool temperatures are around 33 deg C in summer and 29 deg C in Winter. That’s an amazing 94 deg F falling to a very inviting 84 deg F in winter. The extra 3 degrees C created by our solar heating can make an enormous difference to your enjoyment of the pool. There is a swim up, sunken pool bar, complete with fridge, ice-maker, blender and sink, a preparation and serving area and a generous supply of acrylic beverage glasses. Underwater coral seats are conveniently positioned around the submerged bar and this is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of your own personal wine or indulge in your favourite drink or snack.

The pool deck is tiled using natural stone coral and provides a safe, non slip and cool surface to walk on. Sun loungers, parasols, sunbathing mats and various chairs provide ample seating and relaxation areas around the pool. The pool and pool deck are West facing and receive the sun for most of the day. A cooling Caribbean breeze is usually present and the Gazebo and large parasols provide areas of shade for the hottest part of the day.
As the evening sun slowly sets and you look out over the Caribbean Sea, you cannot fail to be impressed. Sunsets from here can be amazing with the elusive ’Green Flash’ often being seen. The setting is simply perfect and with underwater pool lights and discreet Led lighting enhancing the evening ambiance, the special moment can continue long after the sun has set.
Over two hundred 5 star reviews on various well known review sites are testament to the attention to detail and location this ‘Tropical Hideaway’ has and reflect our genuine intention that guests arrive as guests and leave as friends.

Summary: Our stay at Tropical Hideaway was amazing. We booked it after our reservation on Union Island was destroyed by Beryl and were blown away by the whole experience. Martin and Julie live on site and provide all the extra touches you don't expect with a VRBO property. They even have a "store" on the property where you can get supplies rather than having to go to town to shop. We were in Palm Cottage. It has a kitchen and fabulous balcony overlooking the bay. The views from the property are stunning in every direction. We could have just moved in. The infinity pool is spectacular and there is such a great breeze we never had to turn on the AC. We cannot say enough about the property and the hospitality. Thankfully Bequia and Tropical Hideaway were spared during hurricane Beryl. Thank you Martin and Julie, we will be back!

Summary: We loved the stunning view from Palm Cottage nestled in the mountain-side 500 feet above Admiralty Bay. Its veranda is my favorite place on Earth to work remote surrounded by sunshine, warm breezes, quiet, nature, and a view of 300 sailboats moored in the bay. Martin and Julie have perfected every detail of the property, accommodations, recommendations, hospitality, and service after 3 decades of literally building the resort from scratch. Their story is part of the attraction and we were fascinated. They connected us to locals who shared authentic Bequia culture, history, food, snorkeling spots, and a boat tour of a unique eco-community we had an interest in. They even loaned us a wonderful book on local history that we read. Their local staff were extremely friendly and helpful and appear to take pride in their island, the resort, the services provided. We walked to 4 world-class pristine beaches and 4 fabulous restaurants from the resort on nature trails and roads using a taxi most nights to return after dark. After eating a delicious breakfast at the resort the first day, we decided to eat breakfast there everyday. We got wine, snacks and extras at the on site store. The vibe at the resort and everywhere on the island was relaxed, friendly, casual, calm, and unpretentious. We always felt safe. This was a romantic third honeymoon for us and will we be back because there is so much more to see and do such as excursions to explore the other Grenadine islands.

Summary: We had an absolutely amazing experience at Tropical Hideaway. Martin and Julie were wonderful hosts--warm and friendly, welcoming, and thoughtful in every possible way. The property is even more beautiful than the pictures. Palm Cottage where we stayed was immaculate, very comfortable, and had everything we needed. The views were stunning, and the pool was just gorgeous--a pleasure to swim in and watch the sun set over the bay. Bequia is a relaxed, friendly, and unspoiled Caribbean island, which we loved. One of our best vacations ever. We will be returning!!

Summary: Julie and Martin certainly know how to make you feel welcome! As one of the guests said if James Bond was to do self catering he would do it here! Stunning property and lovely accomodating staff. A must for the discerning holiday maker.

Summary: My wife and I have been regular guests at Tropical Hideaway since 2013. Bequia is by far and away our favorite Caribbean island. And Tropical Hideaway is the absolute best value for our money we have ever found in our extensive Caribbean travel. We go back again and again simply because the owners, Martin and Jule, set the bar so high we know we would be disappointed if we went anywhere else. For us, the real beauty of Bequia is that very few outside the yachting community have ever heard of it. It is a small island that is somewhat difficult to get to for land crabs like us, which effectively eliminates the hordes of tourists who regularly deplane in St. Lucia and Barbados. Those are your two main gateways. To get to Bequia, you have to take SVG Air from those two islands. And for couples like ourselves, that adds another $1,000 to the total trip cost. But the cost is beyond well worth it! Bequia has no casinos, no large hotel chains, no zip lines, no jet skis, no rowdy nightlife, no corporate junk food chains...in essence it is the Caribbean as it was 30-50 years ago. You can take sailing day trips, you can scuba dive, you can snorkel...basically you can have a "real" Caribbean experience and meet local people who are genuinely glad to have you there. The small shops and local bars/restaurants are very inviting and friendly. As for Tropical Hideaway, it is breathtakingly beautiful. Basically a small luxury boutique hotel (without the usual $1,000+ a night charge), the landscaping is lush and vibrant with color. It sits atop Bequia Estates with wonderful views of Port Elizabeth and Princess Margret Beach below. And the infinity pool is THE finest we have ever found in all our years of Caribbean travel. Relaxing with a few of Martin's rum punches (the best on the island) and just enjoying the view from the edge of the pool can and does (for us) consume a large portion of our stays. We've stayed in the Penthouse, the Pool House, and this time we spent part of our stay in the lovely Palm Cottage. Hibiscus Cottage in down the hill below the pool and is the most private. It is basically a duplicate of Palm. We prefer to be close to the pool and eliminate the walk down and up. But lots of people we've met there prefer the added privacy. Everything...from the island, to Tropical Hideaway, to the owners are just beyond fabulous. If you go, you will hate leaving. And you will long to return. This we promise you.

Summary: Wow! What an incredible place! We had the most magical, relaxing, incredible time. Martin and Julie are excellent hosts and treated us like family. The Palm Cottage was private and spacious with excellent views and just a short walk from the pool. I would highly recommend staying there. The pool is the best one I've ever been in. Every night we watched the sunset from the pool. There is something so relaxing and peaceful about being there. You leave feeling refreshed. If you have the chance to stay here, don't hesitate to do so. You'll love it!

Summary: Outstanding in every detail. The property has a brilliant position, overlooking the harbour and catching the gentle winds. The sunsets over the infinity pool were amazing. Palm Cottage was brilliant for the two of us, with its own private terrace with views over a diffent aspect of the harbour. Would recommend without hesitation and we will most certainly return. For people thinking about booking their website is amazingly comprehensive and is very accurate and helpful.

Summary: Tropical Hideaway is the perfect place to relax and recharge the batteries. Bequia is uncommercialised with a good selection of sensibly priced restaurants. The views from Palm Cottage are sensational and Princess Margaret beach is excellent for swimming and snorkelling.
