Best Hotels with Airport Shuttle Service in St. Vincent & The Grenadines

If you're looking for a tranquil beachfront getaway, you can't go wrong with the Bequia Beach Hotel, according to recent guests. Tucked away on Bequia, the second-largest island in the Grenadines, the property is surrounded by tropical gardens and its own private shoreline. Make the most of the hotel's beachfront perch with its complimentary nonmotorized water sports equipment, which includes kayaks, surfboards and snorkeling gear. Or, park yourself in a lounge chair by one of the property's two outdoor pools. Aside from the hotel's unbeatable location, its rooms also received a hefty amount of praise from past lodgers. Reviewers described rooms as spacious and well-equipped, with large bathrooms, furnished balconies or terraces and air conditioning. You'll also be able to admire the view from the hotel's main restaurant, Bagatelle, which offers beachside verandas to dine in while enjoying the eatery's Caribbean-influenced dishes. If you prefer Italian, consider dining at Blue Tropic. The dining venue sits on a hill and offers views of the hotel and the beach. Other available amenities include a fitness center and a spa. Plus, all rates cover in-room Wi-Fi access and bottled water, round-trip airport transfers (for stays lasting at least five nights), a weekly yoga class and daily breakfast. All-inclusive packages are available as well. But remember, the property closes annually from early September to mid-October.

Palm Island Resort occupies a private island just off Union Island's eastern coast. Those staying in one of Palm Island's 43 guest rooms have access to five pristine beaches, numerous hiking and biking trails, a tennis court and a soothing spa. Guests bemoan the amount of effort it takes to get here, but say that the spacious island-themed guest rooms – complete with private terraces and spectacular views – and upscale amenities are worth the trek. If you start to get cabin fever on this small, secluded islet, the resort offers off-shore excursions to the nearby Tobago Cays. And after a long day on the water, retreat to the Royal Palm Restaurant and satiate your appetite with a serving of homemade clam chowder or pan-seared fish – two favorites among recent guests.

Occupying a small island just off of St. Vincent's southern coast, Young Island Resort offers guests a feeling of seclusion with its chain of 29 private cottages. In fact, the resort recently began offering its first all-inclusive experience – which includes the cost of the room and meals, as well as round-trip ferry service to St. Vincent and access to water sports equipment. Guests appreciate the resort's quiet atmosphere and praise the cottages' appearance, which feature private patios, open-air showers and crisp, white decor. For a moment of relaxation, book a treatment at Spa Kalina; or, if you feel like socializing, tag along on a boat excursion to nearby Bequia or Mustique, or join other visitors for dinner at the on-site restaurant (just note that attire is business casual).
