At Tropic Breeze, we firmly believe that to offer the best possible service to our clients, we need to have experienced the hotels and destinations we sell first hand. When Tropic Breeze Founder Jo Plummer was last in the Caribbean, she spent a few days in Bequia so that she could re-visit one of our favourite properties, Bequia Beach Hotel, and reacquaint herself with this charming island.

Our Senior Travel Specialist Trish has been lucky enough to visit St Lucia twice in the last couple of months. On her first visit, she spent her time touring around the island, visiting hotels and taking part in plenty of exciting activities. She was then invited back earlier this month to take part in the Global Piton Awards, where she picked up the prestigious Chairman’s Award for Excellence in Sales for being the top selling tour operator agent in the UK and Ireland for St Lucia. These awards were organised by the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority and included cocktails and canapes with the Prime Minister of St Lucia, as well as an award ceremony and gala dinner. Congratulations to Trish on this fantastic achievement!

The beautiful island of Bequia is the second largest of the Grenadine islands – a chain of small islands stretching around 50 miles from St Vincent in the north to Grenada in the south. The Grenadines are an ideal destination for those looking to experience something a little more off the beaten track and offer some of the best snorkelling and sailing in the Caribbean. Bequia is an authentic island hideaway. It exudes character and charm in equal measure and works well as either a standalone destination or as a twin-centre with islands such as Barbados or St Lucia.
