Golden Rock Inn

Gentle trade winds and dramatic Caribbean vistas set the stage for a visit to Golden Rock Inn. A former sugar estate dating back to the early 1800's, the property has been thoughtfully restored through the eyes of New York artists Helen and Brice Marden. Set on 100 acres stretching up the slopes of Nevis Peak, this boutique property has eleven guest rooms and private cottages, including the unique Sugar Mill Suite. Surrounded by lush tropical gardens designed by the owners with Miami landscape architect Raymond Jungles, the inn is an escape embraced with birds' songs and the rustling of bamboo. Guest rooms have either king or twin beds, which can be joined together to create a king. The unique Sugar Mill Suite has an oversized king bed upstairs, with full bath, and 2 twins downstairs with full bath. This accomodation is suitable for 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children.

We had dinner here and it was great. Spiny lobster and rack of lamb. Food was amazing and service was great as well. On a different day, we stopped here to tour and the grounds are amazing. Even if you don't eat, you have to stop by to see this. Just great little areas to read, drink, relax, etc.

Pricey but excellent service

Reviewed By C3948PGchristopherb

The room price is beyond pricey for what you get. However, the expertise is priceless. I received the best massage from Mohanie. The Dune restaurant food was good. The staff is wonderful and really made our anniversary special. They have a private beach for you to enjoy with beach service. Mango was not opened and I heard it had good local food

I have never looked at Oualie when we were scheduled originally to visit St Kitts & Nevis back in April 2020 but things changed since then... our original hotel at Nisbet Plantation shut down... so when I came across an amazing deal for Oualie decided to give it a shot despite some of the comments here on TripAdivsor about the TLC needed - I couldn't emphasize how glad I am, we are! (my wife was very hesitant based on the reviews here as well) that we stayed at Oualie! I love travelling and always look forward to a new place and I have to admit; it's been a while since I was sad leaving a place... definitely enjoyed our time at Oualie over those 5 days here and here is the reasons why: Location: the resort is directly on the Oualie Beach! It's not as pretty as Pinneys Beach but it's still a wonderful beach and here you have it all to yourself as barely anybody visits it and if something you end up seeing people on the far end of the bay where the ferry terminal is (which I think is also an added bonus since you can literally walk to that terminal without a taxi). You face west so perfect for sunsets and views of St Kitts. We arrived on the Sea Bridge (car ferry) which was a super easy under 5 minutes drive - if you fly into NEV airport then you would drive under 5 minutes from the opposite direction - arrival simply can get any easier :) Nevis is overall small and you drive in one bigger circle so nothing is really far though the west side of the island is definitely where you want to be - sunsets, calmer waters, short drive to Charlestown and many south/southwest points of interest for restaurants and attractions. Room: we had the King Premier room - on the way from the lobby I did notice many buildings needing some TLC (ironically during our stay some of them were getting some paint job and it was a night and day difference, such a simple thing!) and I started doubting myself for a second but then we made it to the room - big bed, comfy, traditional Caribbean furniture in perfectly fine shape, Netflix, WiFi (was spotty even though each room has its own router, so we ended up connecting tot he room directly above us without an issue) , huge shower and bathroom - nothing luxurious but perfectly fine and in good shape. The patio with a screened/netted views amazing in the evenings for lazy sunset and mornings to see the monkeys roaming around - a couple got to us super closer twice, super cool experience! Those big sunbeds on the patio = you can sleep in them, I feel asleep on evening :) There is a small fridge in the room for cooling down beer/drinks, maybe some food leftovers but no microwave in the unit we had. The safe was there but dead and looked like broken too - didn't bother me to be honest but removing it completely would probably leave a better impression :) all plus were USA type of outlets so no converters needed Hotel Grounds: it's basically a series of single level and double level houses spread along the coast line - all ocean view (it appeared to me), with patios, there is an excellent restaurant and bar on the spot, some nice vegetation and beach chairs for the ocean front, couple hammocks, some picnic tables - the vegetation is very cozy and the big trees provide plenty of needed shade in the afternoon - during our April stay it was extremely windy so it was lovely to sit on under those trees and listen to the ocean waves and leaves/branches on the trees moved by the wind - soooooooo relaxing! Donkeys visit from time to time, so do monkeys! Tones of fun :) Beach: Check my separate review on the Oualie Beach for pictures and details - donkeys, green monkeys, birds, palm trees, turtles in the water! It's a full package so don't judge the book by its cover as you will miss out on the best what this beach has to offer vs Pinneys - they are just 2 different worlds. Also, here at Oualie you have it at your finger tips vs. Pinney you need to drive - mornings and evenings on this beach = so peaceful, so relaxing! There is plenty of sea grass (not to confuse with the sea weed which wasn't an issue at all during our stay while the entire East Coasts of both St Kitts and Nevis were invaded by it during that same time) which the turtles feed on - so one time I bumped into a turtle in the water, very unexpected and joyful moment for certain! The water can be very pretty from time to time when closer but most of the time this is not the picturesque type of beach - it's the good old fun type of one :) more for the joyful soul than the eye! If it's not what you desire from a beach Pinneys is a super easy 10 minute drive along the coast heading south. Food & Restaurants: those Johnny Cakes!!!! that salt fish! The breakfasts at Oualie were amazing!!! Homemade cooking, with a view, wonderful service, and soooooo reasonably priced! What an exceptional value! We had also a wonderful dinner here and their Nevisian Rum Punch is outstanding too! So dont waste your time in the morning and stick around for every breakfast - trust me been there done that and we regretted we "wasted one breakfast outside". For lunch and dinner there are some great options on Nevis so do give them a shot as well - Drift by the NEV airport, Sunshines on Pinneys, Bananas in Hamilton Estate, The Golden Rock & Montpelier in the south - all wonderful experiences. Things to do: Nevis is "much slower" than St Kitts, and there isn't that much here to do and although at first I thought maybe 3 nights would be to much I loved the fact we stayed 4 and I could have spent even more, in particular because I enjoyed just relaxing at Oualie so much! So that is your first thing I would recommend - relax, enjoy, unwind - Oualie is a perfect place for that. If you do however like doing things then take a driver to the NEw River Estate (some ruins), visit the plantation/mill houses with their restaurants (lunch+sighseeting combo) at the Golden Rock & Montpelier, check out the Nevis Botanical Gardens, spend some time on Pinneys and get KillerBee or two from Sunshine's :) check out Mark's Clifton Rum Estate tour and his L&L shop - it's definitely not as big list as on St Kitts but plenty still to do if you just dont want to be at the resort all day! I have reviewed all spots we visited here so hopefuly you can use some of that info to plan your end - I definitely did benefit from reading other people's info while planning Nevis in particular as there is not that much info out there on it for some strange reason. Overall: Oualie was a wonderful place, truly wonderful people and a wonderful memory for life - I actually get pretty touched when I think of it... we visited during my birthday week and this was something in the making for 2 years, never ever in my life I envisioned and anticipated that I would love Nevis so much and it's not a maybe, but actually for certain due to Oualie Beach Resort - it by no means was not the fanciest and luxurious place I have stayed in but it was one of the best times I had ever and that will always remain a special place in my heart - thank you from the bottom of that happy heart! :)

Best pizza on Nevis

We ate at their restaurant, the Yachtsman’s Club. Maybe the best pizza I’ve had in a long time. Great attentive service. It is a beautiful resort. Lots of gardens and a beautiful meandering pool in the center. Beautiful beach. Luxury resort. $$$$$

The Hermitage Plantation Inn

The Hermitage is a small plantation inn with an excellent reputation for its charm and warm, West Indian hospitality. The guest rooms are like gingerbread cottages and are styled after the old Planter’s house with a tradition of elegant West Indian style, antiques, mahogany four poster canopy beds, and private verandahs, with swaying hammocks, in an orchard like setting of mango trees and tropical plants. The Hermitage offers tranquility and serenity in its peaceful environment.

Wonderful Experience

Reviewed By ninaaS1538WQ

This is the second time I have been back to The Hermitage in three years and would have been back sooner if not for Covid restrictions. It is my favorite place to stay on my favorite Island in the Caribbean. It is a uniquely authentic Caribbean experience located in the cool hills of Gingerland. I actually came here and fell in love with it for the first time 30 years ago. The history, decor, animals, and the well- manicured grounds are simply lovely. The food is fresh and well-prepared using meats, produce and herbs grown on the property. The breakfasts -included in the room price -are swoon- worthy! Fresh juices, homemade yogurt, homemade syrup, scrumptious made from scratch pumpkin pancakes, coconut French toast as well as eggs prepared to your liking are so delicious they are enjoyed by guests and locals alike. The best part of the Hermitage is the staff. Each and every staff member makes an extra effort to make one feel warm and welcomed. The lovely Lupinacci family ( owners) are never to busy for the hundreds of questions from their guests and visitors. Cardiler at the reception desk is the consummate "go-to" concierge and knows the inside scoop for the entire island! For me, its like coming home. It's one of the few places in the world I will keep returning to.
