basil's bar - mustique印象

It has the reputation of having the strongest rum punches in the Caribbean. After 2 I can confirm that.

Visited Mustique on a day cruise from St Vincent and after our tour of the island (absolutely stunning) stopped off at Basil's for a late afternoon cocktail before we headed back to St Vincent.For those of you thinking that it will be somewhere fancy, think again. It's basically a large chilled out bar area made from bamboo but with the most amazing views, attentive staff and good (strong) reasonably priced (around £5-£6) cocktails. Also liked some of the artwork of Basil and the bar that is hung up inside.It has been voted one of the best bars in the world and the setting and location are simply stunning so it is easy to see why. Had to also get the obligatory photo of us standing besides the Basil's Bar - Mustique sign outside!I would definitely go back to Basil's Bar if I return to Mustique.

Meal here only average, food simple and well cooked but a bit pricey for what we got, waiters very attentive, good cocktails, decor all a bit shabby. As has been said it's an institution and a must see but some competition might improve things. Five star location though.

We have just returned from a Caribbean cruise. One of the highlights of our trip was going to Basil's Bar in Mustique for the day. It was a very special birthday for me and I will never forget the experience. Mustique is the most beautiful place. We went by catamaran from Bequia which was a very interesting trip. The sea was a bit choppy but worth it in the end. We had a tour of the island with a local person and then lunch in Basil's Bar complete with a delicious rum punch. It was the best fish I had ever tasted and the views over the ocean were wonderful. Was the highlight of our trip and I will cherish the memory for ever.

Yes, it's expensive and not always good (although when I went it was fine). But it's a bucket list item. If you are lucky enough and wealthy enough to visit here, then you've ticked off one of the must do places in the Caribbean. If you go with someone you love, on a starry night, it doesn't get much more romantic. Enjoy!

Having just experienced a rather rough boat crossing from St Vincent, we were able to view the whole island on our approach. I have to admit I was a little surprised when Basil's Bar was pointed out to us by the captain! We were expecting something a little more than a dilapidated and somewhat glorified shack overhanging the stunning waters. That said, you cannot visit the island without experiencing the bar that has had so many amazing people within it.We ate our lunch there which was ok, nothing to write home about but the setting was a great compensation. For what we had, which was really only basic food, it was, as expected, not exactly cheap. Nevertheless, it was an aspect of my dream visit to the island and an experience that had to be fulfilled. All in all, Mustique is an amazing island and Basil's is most definitely legendary part of this stunning place.

We loved the Brittania Bay, but we're disappointed by Basil's. While the setting is superb, right on the water. The food was the worst we had on our two weeks sailing trip from Martinique to Grenada! The service wasn't better either. The waiter kept forgetting the orders or brought the wrong stuff. You can make a better lobster on your boat grill of you buy it fresh from a fisherman.... The ice cream was a mega disappointment. The worst vanilla ever. If they wouldn't have the location, they would be bust!

I have been to few bars with a view like this - Caribbean waters in different shades of blue and turquoise, the colorful fish market with all the fishing boats, green and yellow coconut palms, yachts in the harbor -- I didn't want to leave. The bar itself had beautiful carved beams and was open on 3 sides to allow you to look at all the pretty. The service was slow but friendly, the drinks were small and pricey but good, and the boutique was way overpriced but also quite friendly. As I understand it, the island of Mustique caters to the wealthy, and basically admits and tolerates day-trippers. I am pretty sure the servers at Basil's can tell the island's wealthy clients from the day-tripping yachties (of which I was only barely a pretender as a passenger on a weeklong charter), so I didn't have high expectations of hanging out with Mick Jagger or being treated like a high roller. But I agree it would have been nice (and I would have bought more drinks) if the service had been quicker.

My husband and I really liked the drinks and view at Basils. They have live music and a very attentive staff. You don't want to miss this place. Basil himself is a delight to meet with.

Great cocktails and lovely outlook. Mustique is like a fantasy island. It is like stepping into another world. A real one off.
