Over the years (since 2000) I and a Barbados based cousin have done a lot of research in St Vincent.
The registry is in the heart of Kingstown at the Court House. 
I have always found them to be very helpful and pleasant to deal with (as all Vincentians are).  This is not just lip service.

The research rooms are small and crowded.  This was a problem in the past as it was hot, humid and steamy, but the rooms are now air conditioned and much more pleasant.  They close for lunch and so one is forced to leave and find somewhere to eat or just sit and watch the world go by - not a bad idea.  Gives one a chance to revise notes and plan for the afternoon if you return to the index books.

When I started in 2000, a certificate cost EC$5.  It has now gone up to EC$15, but for the extra money you get a really fancy certificate.
