Golden Rock Nevis

We visited the Golden Rock Inn as a three generation group and enjoyed every minute! The staff were amazing and detail-oriented, from seamlessly arranging our transportation from St Kitts airport to the resort, to arranging a day trip to Charlestown, the artisan village and a Caribbean-side beach. We stayed in the Sugar Mill, which was perfectly located within an easy walk of both the pool and dining area and had good access to the many walking trails throughout the beautiful grounds. The mill was comfortable and tastefully decorated, with views of Mount Nevis and the Atlantic Ocean, along with a private patio surrounded by lush foliage from which we saw so many birds and lizards, but sadly no monkeys (we did see two at the end of the driveway one day). Grounds: we were fortunate enough to go on a garden tour with Alvin, a knowledgeable staff member who shared a detailed history of the property and identified numerous plants, including lemongrass, a cinnamon tree, the calabash, cotton trees, agave, a cocoa tree, many different palms and a mango tree. The pool was clean and refreshing, surrounded by a stone patio as well as a covered area for relaxing on the lounge chairs. The views from here were incredible, with the Atlantic Ocean visible through the trees. One note if visiting with older guests is that some of the stone paths were quite dark at night so we needed to use our phones for extra visibility. Food and drink: All meals were excellent but if you are a vegetarian who stays for more than a few days, dinner options will become limited. Drinks were terrific, including complimentary rum punches on arrival. Staff were friendly and attentive and all meals were served promptly. We even got to eat lunch under the dome the day we arrived, which was fantastic. When our trip ended we were sorry to leave and hope to visit again!

My daughter has already given glowing reviews. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The garden pool was secluded, nestled in the jungle but with a clearing that looked off to the sea. I am a gardener and loved the myriad of trees, vines, plantings, etc. The food was delicious, but too much for us. We quickly learned to order less. Our only disappointment was not seeing the Green Vervet monkeys. We were able to see a glimpse of two one day as we were leaving in a taxi. The staff had set up our land/water taxi arrangements from St. Kitts airport to the Golden Rock Inn making it all so easy. A vacation we recommendto all.
