Booking Tips
Insider advice to help you find the best accommodation.
For the Grenadines, confirm inter-island transport (like the Bequia ferry or SVG Air flights) BEFORE finalizing accommodation, as schedules can change and fill up.
For smaller guesthouses and villas, email or call directly. You may get a better rate, more accurate availability, and can ask specific questions about amenities.
A 'beachfront' claim may mean a 5-minute walk. Always check exactly how to get to the property from the airport/ferry – some require 4x4 or boat transfers at extra cost.
On smaller islands with few restaurants, opting for a hotel meal plan (like breakfast or half-board) is often a practical and good-value choice.
When to Book
Timing matters for both price and availability.
Book 6-12 months in advance, for popular villas on Bequia or luxury resorts. Christmas/New Year requires booking a year ahead.
(May-June, November) Book at least 3-4 months in advance for the best selection.
(July-October, excluding Easter) More flexibility, but still book 1-2 months ahead as many smaller properties may close for renovation.
The more specific your needs (villa with a pool, specific dates), the earlier you must book. Last-minute deals are rare.
