Rosewood Apartment Hotel

The location is excellently placed and staff very accommodating.

my stay was too short

The view, location to the beach.

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment in St Vincent. The space was lovely - perfect for three) and absolutely spotless, and the view from the balcony was simply gorgeous - such a highlight of our trip. Debbie was a truly fantastic host. She was always available to offer help and recommendations, and went above and beyond to assist us when we had trouble accessing cash with our UK bank cards. Her kindness and support made a real difference to our stay. Highly recommend to anyone visiting St Vincent - we would happily stay again.

A coffee machine would have been a convenient extra addition, as we struggled to find good coffee close by.

Can travellers still remember LIAT? Everybody in the Caribbean knows what these characters stand for and joked when I recalled a flight from Barbados to Grenada years ago, already delayed, during which an announcement was made 'The pilots are now tired and we fly to (the more distant) Trinidad': Leaves Island Any Time, Luggage in Another Terminal. LIAT was out of service for a while, but it came back, and now many seem to apologise to the company because Inter-Caribbean Airways, which filled the vacuum for a while, seems to be even more unreliable. After two re-bookings before my trip started in the UK and no communication until I turned to the CEO, I was not sure whether I (and my luggage) would ever leave St Vincent and arrive where I wanted to be. I stayed in contact with the host of Rosewood, Mrs Debbie, who always responded promptly, assured me that I could stay longer if the flight were cancelled again, organised a taxi from and to the airport at late/early times, welcomed me late, and was always very understanding, supportive, and kind. The apartment is located in one of the best suburbs of Kingstown (about 15min from the centre), safe (there is a security guard), spacious, and spotlessly clean. You have everything you need, including a very good shower. It is a very steep 100 m ascent to the property, but this little effort is worth it: the view from the first-floor balcony is to die for. Just sitting there and watch sunrise and sunset is wonderful. Thank you for everything, Mrs. Debbie. A scale of 10 is not enough.

There is nothing I did not like -- except that I should have stayed a little longer. Do take the speedboat to Bequia and use Frasers Taxis for a trip to Dark Fells - great exploration of the island, highly recommended. Also, be aware that the next supermarket is about 25 minutes walking distance. Not a major issue for me and there are taxi-minibuses (though almost none on Sundays), but if you have mobility problems, rent a car.
