We stayed here for 5 nights and cannot wait to return.Its so unique we loved the super relaxed vibe,super stylish pool villa,beautiful beach couldn’t fault anything.Arron the GM runs this place to perfection.Gary the chef is amazing,so accommodating if you wanted something cooked different to on the menu.We didn’t leave for 5 days the food and place was so perfect.We can’t wait to come back.Highly recommend and Bequia is wonderful such a special place.

I just returned from what was supposed to be a 10 day vacation in this “luxury villa” at The Liming!!! We left after 3 days (only because we couldn’t fly out any sooner)! The place is completely DILAPIDATED, MOLD-RIDDEN, and MOUSE-INFESTED? Beware! The photos advertising this place throughout the internet, were probably taken over 20 years ago! The fact that there was a dead mouse laying in the middle of the living room when we arrived, was clearly the first sign of things to come! The furniture is old, stained and worn. Doors and woodwork throughout the house….old and cracking. Paint is peeling through the place. The faucets/shower fixtures in the bathrooms are corroded, escutcheons are missing. Mold is evident on the exterior of the property as well as all around the pool decking. Electrical outlets on the walls are loose and crooked. The stainless on the stove/hood and throughout the kitchen is discolored from moisture and heat (the kitchen isn’t air-conditioned. There was an air-conditioner present but non-functional). When we opened the dishwasher the day after arrival, the stench could’ve knocked you over! It was clearly non-functional and the mold growing inside it was incredible (hence the foul-odor!). The windows throughout the house were filthy. The dining room chairs were so stained and dirty, we were compelled to cover them with beach towels before we even sat down. We found mouse droppings behind the TV unit and inside the electrical outlet (that was not covered) in the “media room” (which explained the dead mouse on arrival). The place was clearly infested. We were told (only upon arrival) that the house ran on collected rain water, that the water coming out of the faucets was not safe to drink, and that only the ice-maker was “filtered”. The water coming out of the faucets was literally yellow/brown! We had to shower in brackish water for 3 days! They advertise that a private BBQ chef can come and prepare a meal for you and your guests at $150pp, but the BBQ pit is not even finished (construction)? The entire place is an un-sanitary, health-hazard!! The resort’s restaurant is a complete other story. The food is lack-luster. The first night we were there, we ordered fish. The odor of it when it was brought to the table was off-putting enough. You couldn’t even get the fish to pull away from its bones. It was simply inedible. The next morning we went down for breakfast and I ordered a fruit plate. It had 4 pieces of fruit on it!! So I then requested an additional croissant only to be told that they were “all out”. We went to breakfast at 8:30a! The next day we ordered fries at lunch, only to be told they were “all out of fries”. The third day we wanted an omelet with cheese and were told they were “all out” of cheese!! To top this off, there were a group of feral cats that appeared every day at the restaurant….that proceeded to jump onto the tables (after guests departed) to eat whatever was left on their plates!! Th

This was our second visit to The Liming staying in the one bed villa and what a contrast. Sadly, for a luxury hotel it fell very short and felt neglected. Just to mention a few of the issues which need addressing, the cleanliness of the rooms. The entrance door to the villa was very dirty, the shower floor and shower wall tile was mouldy and dirty, the shelf below the bathroom window had a previous occupants hair along with dust , the bathroom window had what looked like a piece of carpet secured with duck tape. Surely a roller blind would appropriately screen for the privacy needed. The toilet brush handle was missing, although when mentioned was replaced with a plastic one. Some of the walls including the entrance wall to the shower were dirty. The skirt around the bed had fallen below its knees and could not be pulled up. The closet doors around the hand pull were dirty. The towels were hard and off white. The sheets were off white and greyish, thin and worn. The interior doors went from white to yellow. The living room rug was worn and stained. The blade of the ceiling fan was very dusty. Turndown service was inconsistent. All in all with some attention this could’ve been a truly amazing experience again, It is a beautiful location, the restaurant service staff was great but the condition of the Villa was disappointing and it felt like some of the staff had adopted ‘ the art of doing nothing’.

We stayed at the Liming for nine nights. On entering the Liming into the main reception/restaurant area, which definitely has that architectural wow factor, we felt that this was going to be a really special place to stay. Our room was beautiful, the bed was very comfortable, the attention to detail was perfect and the Elemis toiletries were an additional lovely touch. The room was spotlessly clean and the housekeeping team were amazing! The Manager ensures he is accessible to all guests and visitors and the whole team of staff at the Liming are truly wonderful. The food is fabulous and the ambience is relaxing but not pretentious …a balance which isn’t always easy to create. We swam in the sea, having the beach practically to ourselves, we walked miles and enjoyed visiting Paget farm….getting to know a few locals. It was really easy to taxi into town and try different restaurants. This is our third visit to the Island of Bequia and our first to the Liming, it definitely won’t be our last. Thank you to the whole Liming team, we had a fabulous stay.

We went for on a day pass, and had a wonderful day. $75 per person with free drinks and 3 course lunch. Stunning views, great for sunset dinner. Great for swimming and water sports. Very deserted which we loved, only one other couple on the beach and in the restaurant. 2 downsides, the toilets were not clean and one of two was blocked all day. and the road to the hotel is in dreadful condition. Would highly recommend a day there but would not recommend a stay. Atmosphere lacking and a bit soul less

Very relaxing place. Manager and staff super friendly and helpful - they were even able to relocate us to a villa more suited to our needs which was very much appreciated. The beach on which the property is located is idyllic and very quiet. The only negative is that the Liming is quite secluded which limits the dining options when staying for an extended time. Taxis are available though if required.
