Haze Richardson developed this resort in the mid-1960s. When my husband and I visited PSV several years ago, Haze was the boss who really cared.
It was the little things at Petit St. Vincent that made the big difference.
Do you want to send a postcard home? They're in your room on the desk, stamped and ready to mail.
You forgot your beach bag? There are two, beautifully packaged, in the dressing room.
You're running out of clean clothes? There's laundry service, gratis, that returns your clothes within 24 hours - pressed, folded, beautifully wrapped, and tied with a bow.
Are you in the mood for a sweet little banana as you explore? Huge bunches are placed around the island for your munching pleasure.
Are you thirsty as you swing on a sheltered hammock at the beach? Just reach your hand out for a cup of ice water - large vacuum containers of ice water are placed at each secluded beach every morning.
Do you want some trees pruned outside your patio to improve the view? We did - and after we told Haze, it was done the next day.
Do you want privacy? Fly the red flag outside your cottage - it means "Do Not Disturb."
Do you want room service - or anything? Just pull up the yellow flag and leave a note. Room service is encouraged, and it's free.
Room service is available for all meals, in your own cottage or at any other location on the island. Most guests make use of the resort's beautiful bar and dining room for at least some of their meals, and there is a new beach restaurant for casual fare.
The food is wonderful - local lobster is always on the menu in season, September to the end of April. The service is top-notch, especially for a remote Caribbean island (there are two staff members for every guest).
