We chose to stay at Kingsville Apartments due to its proximity to Lower Bay Beach and, for us, the location was perfect. A short stroll from the beach (we could hear the sea from the apartment) as well as Keegan's Bar! We were in apartment 4 which was a one bed. We loved having our own front door, terrace and garden! Although basic and a little tired inside, it had everything we needed and the kitchen had all the essentials. The bedroom had aircon which was useful at times as well as a safety deposit box. We loved sitting out at night watching the fireflies and listening to the night sounds. By day there were butterflies and birds. We had an issue with the shower not draining and Anastasia was quick to get this resolved for us. She was also really helpful with any questions we had as well as booking a taxi for us if needed. Location wise, it is quite a walk to Port Elizabeth so be prepared for a hike (starting up 'heart attack hill'!). You can then pick up the walkway at Princess Margaret beach. We found a good compromise was to walk to the bus stop at the top and get the dollar bus (2ECU each) as it was so much cheaper than a taxi (30ECU). Overall we could not fault Kingsville and hopefully when we return to Bequia we would not hesitate to stay here again. Since returning home we have discovered that the whole lot is up for sale and just hope that new owners keep the essence of the apartments as they are laid out really well and apart from a bit of updating are perfect just as they are!

TOTAL NIGHTMARE

On arriving at Kingsville to check in, having booked through Hotels.com months in advance and my reservation was confirmed, I was told by reception on arrival that they had no reservation for me, total nightmare, the staff couldn't have cared less, I had to find alternative accommodation during one of the most busiest times on the island, I would not recommend Kingsville Apartments under any circumstances.

Ideal location for r&r on the best beach

10.0

Tucked behind the best beach on the island (Lower Bay Beach, not affected by this horrible sargassum seaweed that plagues many others) is this self catering hidden gem. It is nice and quiet for a romantic getaway or a family holiday, but close to pubs, restaurants, and more, and a short walk to amenities of 'the harbour' of Port Elizabeth. Bert and Kay are awesome, and can arrange for anything you might need or want. We will definitely be coming back.

Inaffidabile

La mia esperienza è stata drammatica: nonostante la prenotazione fosse stata confermata, al nostro arrivo l'hotel ci ha detto che non c'era alcuna prenotazione a nostro nome e che erano al completo. Potete immaginare la nostra reazione visto che eravamo nei giorni centrali di Pasqua con tutti gli hotel dell'isola pieni. Noi avevamo prenotato ad inizio Gennaio 2017. Abbiamo quindi contattato Hotel.com che per fortuna ci ha subito trovato un'alternativa accollandosi loro il delta costo. La soluzione trovate è stata sicuramente migliore: posizione bellissima, appartamento grandissimo, pulito, ben accessoriato, 2 camere da letto, a 2 minuti dalle 2 spiagge più belle (Margaret and Lower bay) con una vista spettacolare. L'appartamento si chiama Sunset cottage di Solana Boutique Apartment e la proprietaria (Solana) è veramente premurosa e gentile.

Excellent Getaway Accommodation

Stayed here for Christmas with family and was very much impressed with the accommodation. A quiet and pastoral location that provides the visitor with a chance to relax with the privilege of having beaches and groceries nearby. The rooms are elk kept. Although lower bay beach is practically outside I wouldn't recommend bathing there. I would advise going to Princess Margaret beach. One would need to access this beach from a sloping road . However this hike is worth it. Spend a morning swimming in the cool light blue waters of Princes Margaret beach and you will be refreshed. Amenities at Kingsville include wifi and given that this is a kichenette it is ideal for the economic traveller. Lovely restaurants nearby as well. I very much appreciate Kay's reception and would recommend kingsville to other fellow travellers.
