Best place to eat in St Vincent!!! By a mile

This place has the best food in St Vincent. Fresh bread baked by them everything is so reach of flavours. And the fruit punch really tastes like fruits and not chemicals. Stuff is also lovely, there a non stop little boat to take you to the island. Perfect to stop by if you travelling to and from Bequia. You can stay overnight or just a day pass.

A magical relaxing holiday in Paradise.

From the moment we arrived in St.Vincent and were in the taxi to Young Island we immediately fell in love with the local houses, beautiful countryside and endless sea views, not to mention the friendly people. Pulling up to catch the complementary ferry across the water you get your first glimpse of YI and wow is all we could say. We were met on the jetty and as our bags disappeared we were handed a welcome cocktail. The manager, Bianca even welcomes everyone too. A lovely gesture. We were taken to our bungalow....through a gate with a small private garden, terrace with sun longers and a table and chairs, there are steps down to the sea too. Inside was a large bed, dressing table, large fridge, coffee maker and ice bucket. Adequate wardrobe with a safe. The bathroom was basic with an outside shower which was much better than I expected. There is a wall hairdryer but this was not very good. Air con and ceiling fan. Wi fi. Added bonus was all plug sockets were uk, 3 pins, so no need for any adapters. The pool area was lovely. The bar was lovely but had no air con, the restaurant was all outside on beautiful tables and the beach was simply stunning. There were paddle boards and kayaks for use. The whole resort was spotless. The staff very friendly. Reception were happy to arrange a St.Vincent island tour and transfers etc. The choices for breakfast were plentiful and you must try the breads! The choices for dinner were good but we found the food was too much and very rich, lighter salads and maybe pasta would be a good addition especially with the heat when you don't feel too hungry. The bar had a great selection, and gave cold water bottles out when requested. The Friday cocktail evening was lovely with small local snacks with Bianca and her lovely staff hosting. The ferry taking us back and forth to the main land was available at any time of the day and we were even treated to ride all the way around YI one night. The bars opposite are good and full of locals. The one bar that plays loud music can be an issue as sound travels straight across. The music played till 10.30 most nights but on Friday it was on until 5.30am! Maybe ear plugs should be provided as it should not stop you enjoying this magical island. There are just a few signs left of Storm Beryl with the new floating beach bar, new ferry and some works going on to repair steps, rooves and a few bungalows which took the brunt, but well done for everything they have achieved in a short space of time. There were only a handful of guests staying while we were there, as the season is just starting, but we appreciated the tranquility. The resort is quirky and personal, not 5☆ but makes you feel so relaxed. Maybe it needs updating but we wouldn't want it to loose any of its charm. We were sad to leave and hope to return one day.

Loved it! Unplug and leave refreshed.

Love it! Stayed 8 days on a business trip. This is a small, intimate resort island. SVG is where the first Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed and it is not over run yet with tourism. SVG is a friendly country that enjoys a good feta (Party). This is a proud Third World country. Do not come here if you expect a Four Seasons resort. If you do visit with that expectation, don’t leave a negative review that you weren’t treated like the colonial Queen because you failed to do your due diligence, as a few reviewers have. The staff here is friendly but they are modest and humble; not intrusive to interrupt your conversations or quiet time, which I appreciate. If you need someone constantly in at your shadow asking what more they can do for you, don’t come here. If you need something, speak up and they do their best to accommodate. If you want to feel unplugged (while still having Wi-Fi) like syncing up with diff cultures, foods, and are looking for a quite getaway, this may be right. This resort is romantic and beautiful, the rooms are cozy & lovely, service is good, the restaurant isn’t close to a Michelin star but the food is consistently tasty, and meals on the beach in fresh, unpolluted air are beautiful.. The menu isn't as vast as some from large developed cities are used to, but this is a remote tropical island - they do very well with local options. Try all their fresh baked breads! The open concept bar on the beach is also beautiful. Almost every cottage is directly on the shoreline. Turn down service includes making your bed up, straightening up your room/bathroom, and turning on the AC unit. Our beds were comfortable, not too hard or soft. It’s outdoor showers only but they are private and the climate is consistently warm, and so invigorating. There is often loud music from across the water on weekends. I’m a light sleeper, I wore earplugs and slept soundly every night. If you want to leave the resort and go to the mainland, it’s an easy 4 to 5 minute boat ride on a small covered ferry that runs most hours. The ferry was complementary and we tipped the driver. The water was the perfect temp for swimming-not too cold or warm. Mosquitoes are a nuisance in most warm climates so bring bug spray. If I remember correctly, it takes approx 30 minutes to get from the airport to the resort due to reduced speed limits and ferry. Carnaval is big here too if you enjoy that. Read less

In Love With St Vincent.

Jun 10, 2024 Anita Gisla D Bristol, United Kingdom

Best holiday! My husband and I spent eight night on YIR and I can honestly say it was one (if not) my best holiday so far. I fell in love with St Vincent again. It was an "old fashion" way to holiday - no TV, quiet location, great service(do keep it up YIR). If good service is your thing - book YIR - if you need constant activity, YIR is not for you. The food, although not a lot to choose from- what was available was delicious. Apart from the loud music from a bar across the bay(one night) it was a very relaxing holiday. Thanks YIR. Read less

St Vincent’s Gem

Jun 5, 2024 Mrs B Stafford, United Kingdom

As I sit awaiting my flight home, I can honestly say leaving Young Island is like leaving family which leaves a longing for your return. My husband and I were able to spend 11 glorious nights on Young Island this visit and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. We stayed in cottage 9 and appreciated its close proximity to the beach, pool as well as the restaurant and bar! Listening to the waves crashing outside our cottage was a definite delight for us. The bed was so very comfortable and enjoyed each night’s sleep (and afternoon naps)! We always enjoy the experience of the outside shower! The cottage had everything we could want or need. The food whether at breakfast, lunch or dinner was exquisite and the staff were just always so friendly - they have truly captured our hearts! We appreciated greatly the hard work of all the staff. The ladies who cleaned our room each day are all so lovely and exceptional at what they do. Hermus, Charles and Lennox all deserve a mention who busily look after transporting guests to and from Young Island and found them all to be a such a pleasure and good laugh! Of course I cannot fail to mention the resort’s long standing General Manager Bianca Porter who always makes us feel so very welcome and goes that extra mile to ensure our stay provides all that we could need. Thank you. We certainly will ensure our return very soon! Read less
