Sadewa Villa - Bequia

My wife and i spent a week on Bequia at Sadewa Villa. From start to finish it was a fabulous experience. Communication with both the booking and property managers was flawless. We reached out several times for info from Jason and his responses were both accurate and quick. The house is in a wonderful location with both ocean and mountain views that you never tire of. The drive from Port Elizabeth is a (hilly!)10 minutes or less experience. There are local restaurants and beaches within a couple minutes drive but at the same time its very private and peaceful. The house has some damage, probably sustained during hurricane Beryl and shower pressure struggles at times but nothing that could detract from our experience. We are planning on visiting again with a larger family group since the house caters for up to 14. Bequia was exactly what we needed to step back from our busy lives and spend a brief week on island time. 100% recommend.

All the privacy you could ask for. View of the Atlantic was beautiful. Kitchen well appointed and home nicely decorated. Now, it’s time for the owner to do some maintenance. 1 a/c until (in media room) did not work at all. Another a/c unit it the other wing dripped water inside and made a mess. Quite a few light switches did not work. There is a trick to the washing machine that was not told to us until late in the day before we left and with no dryer, our clothes wouldn’t have dried. Not that we would have used all 7 bedrooms, but only had access to 4 plus a “nursery”. If you are going to advertise 7 bedrooms and 6 baths, then all should be accessible. No extra towels as the linen closet was locked and NO way to wash the towels. Don’t take this the wrong way, very nice house but everything should be in working order and maybe the housekeeper should have shown us the trick to the washing machine. And lastly, check out is 9 am and the housekeeper showed up at 8:30 which made us feel rushed

This Villa is gorgeous! We loved the location and the rooms were beautiful and spacious. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning to stay again.

Wonderful property lovely rooms and pool area Well equipped kitchen very spacious to spread out

Mixed feelings - the villa was obviously built and furnished to high standards however the awkward layout (the kitchen and living area are in two separate buildings) and lack of recent proper maintenance means that the facilities aren't as you'd hope and expect. For instance, there is no access to the beautiful balcony you see in the photos as both sets of doors are too weather damaged to open (a real problem as it appears to be the only outside area that catches the breeze and is relatively mosquito free), some of the outdoor furniture is seriously dilapidated and unusable, wear and damage to fittings hasn't been rectified, some doors have fungus growing on them, indoor furnishings are becoming grubby, curtains don't fit, mosquito nets are yellowing and ripped, the audio visual system wasn't working, nor was the washing machine or the water/ice dispenser mechanism on the fridge freezer. The fridge was warm and insect infested when we arrived. Not all bedrooms have air conditioning and some are being used as drying/storage areas. The car we paid to use was untaxed. On the plus side, the pool is great and well kept, the view is beautiful, all the rooms are large and airy, the bathrooms are well appointed and the kitchen is fully equipped. We were here in the low season and paid a reasonable rate. If we'd paid premium rates, we'd have been disappointed. We notified the owner of the villa's shortcomings at the beginning of our 3 week stay, however his only response was to request a review after our departure. I have photos to back up this review. Note that Kwesi S, who placed the review below, owns this property.

Sadewa villa is an amazing house with gorgeous views and full amenities. The kitchen has almost every pot,bowl and utensil you could ever need. The rooms are gorgeous and we used the pool way more than we thought we would. Pam, the housekeeper and Ramsey the driver were very prompt and helpuful. We also loved driving the rental cehicle around the island... the house is 5-10 mins away from the major attractions in Bequia. The mosquitoes were the biggest hassle. While there were mosquito nets in the bedrooms and bug spray available, I would recommend bringing a bug zapper. The WiFi connection wasn't always the best but they are working to get it fixed. Even with those minor issues it was still an amazing trip and we hope to be back soon!

Everything about this villa exudes quality. It is finished to a very high standard and the spaces are all great. The open area including the pool is a magnet and a perfect gathering spot. The kitchen is better equipped than your own. Having the A/C in some of the rooms was nice but there is such a nice breeze on the hill that it is hardly necessary. The service from booking to cleaning was all efficient and friendly. If you see a housekeeper or gardener or hotel staff from Firefly walking, offer them a lift, those are steep hills!

Our family had an amazing time during our holiday in Bequia. It's peaceful and charming without the rush you'll find on some of the more developed islands. Sadewa vill was the perfect accommodations for our family and had lots of rooms that were spread across the property. There was ample outdoor space for sunning and hanging out together, and enough comfort that we never felt crowded or cramped. The price was perfect too and much less than we would have paid at a hotel. We definitely intend to go back.

My husband and I were looking for the perfect destination to celebrate my 50th birthday and Sadewa Villa exceeded our expectations. The villa is newly renovated and beautiful. The seclusion and tranquility of the villa made us feel like we were on our own private island. We hated the fact that we had to leave. We'll definitely return, maybe with more people next time.
