One of my favorite haunts is Julie's Guest House in Bequia, which is just south of the 'mainland' of St. Vincent, one hour by ferry. Julie (a man), runs a wonderful local hotel, that caters to travellers. OK, so maybe it's a one star, but....for about $60 a day you get a hotel room, breakfast and dinner. Tip: The air-con rooms are in another building, and costs a bit more. At Julie's it's still the old Caribbean, where everyone says good day, please and thank you - a lot. There are mosquito nets in the rooms ( bring some deet, anyway). There is a small bar, serving up some of the best rum punches on the planet. And---it's a place to meet other travellers, you'll love it. Totally, OFF the beaten track! (784) 458-3530 or (784) 457-3497
