Hotels near Pinneys beach, Nevis

Occasionally you find a hotel that gives you a nice homely feeling in a beautiful destination. Nevis and the Mount Nevis hotel are that combination. I had an ocean view room and the view is stunning. The rooms are extremely homely - I could have quite easily stayed there for a few months! Equipped with kitchenette, lovely furniture, very comfortable beds and a nice patio area. The hotel is quiet and peaceful which is perfect for Nevis. The food was also excellent and the restaurant is on a terrace with a great view. I particularly recommend their fish dishes. It’s not perfect - there are a few things I’d changes but these are relatively minor. The sunbeds aren’t that comfortable. They have a bar underneath which digs into your back. I am also used to getting bottled water replaced daily if it is not recommended to drink the tap water. They give you water on arrival but not after that. Also, it’s a pity they don’t do breakfast included - the a la carte breakfast menu is quite expensive. Nearly $20 for a small bowl of oats and an orange juice. That said, the staff were lovely, particularly Christina who was very helpful. Nevis was beautiful and the Mount Nevis hotel is a great choice if you’re going there.

I am very disappointed with this resort. It’s a shame it doesn’t deliver to the level it should. We were traveling a bit off-season (mid-October): fewer people, less hassle, and more quiet. However, only one restaurant was open during our stay; they did not mention it anywhere. Ok, I don’t mind dining at one place during my stay. However, the food in the restaurant was waaaaay below average. No buffet, a la carte only. To give you a simple example: kids REFUSED to eat french fries because of how rubbery the french fries were. Everything we tried was embarrassingly bad (only the breakfast was ok). We did not expect black caviar or a molecular cuisine experience, but they charged extraordinary prices for something that was poorly made. Do not expect anyone at the beach or pool to make a beach chair for you; we set up the umbrellas and chairs ourselves. Their morning starts around 8:30/9 am, and no one is around earlier. There was also no food and drink service available for us at the beach. The drinks and dirty towels left at the pool the evening before were still there the next morning at 9 am. The seaweed was cleaned very casually, so assume the beach will always have it, which wasn’t a big deal for us, the ocean was still beautiful. The service is slow. The average wait time to get your food is 45-50 minutes. There is a kids' club (3+). The babysitting is $60+$20 in fees (not tips) per hour. It’s more of a free play, and the organized activities are mostly only on paper; they take kids outside per your request, but not to the pool/beach area. Make sure you specify no TV if you get babysitting services; otherwise, you’ll end up paying almost $80 per hour for your kids to watch TV. Overall, I would love to return to St Kitts and Nevis, but definitely not to this hotel. I hope they will fix their food and beverage situation and add at least a Breakfast buffet for customers’ convenience.
