The National Museum, St. George's Anglican Church, the Circus area and Independence Square all give glimpses to the city's past. But most travelers do not come to Basseterre for history; they come for the beaches, resorts and marinas, offering ample snorkeling, windsurfing, diving, sunbathing and golfing opportunities.

Carambola Beach Club

Enjoy lunch or dinner in our beautiful hacienda style restaurant, outdoors on our spacious terrace or on the golden sand of South Friar's Bay as your gaze at the Caribbean Sea. Savor one of our delicious cocktails or a bottle of wine from our collection.

St Kitts is not one of the best islands to snorkel, but South Friars Bay is one of the best spots. The beach club is quite luxurious and has man made break water where corals are starting to form and fish are accumulating. We even saw a turtle and some rays here. There is a calm lagoon and beach which is great for children. It’s a very quiet spot which you can reach easily by taxi from frigate bay

My wife and I, and another couple, spent a week here, and we all had dinner here every night -- why? There's no better restaurant in St. Kitts. We all skipped the meal plan at Ottley's only because four courses each dinner was simply too much for us -- we all wound up ordering an appetizer and a main at most, with some desserts being exceptions.Hello Andrew K-Thank you for posting your thoughts. Serving plentiful (not huge), great and interesting food has always been of significant importance to us. So happy that you and your friends enjoyed.Hope to see you again.

Rock Lobster

Reviewed By Pat M

Our family visited this restaurant a week ago while staying at our timeshare at the Marriott. We always try to arrange our dinners ahead of time and secure a reservation just to make sure no surprises. After doing some research about the restaurants in st. Kitts, we choose this restaurant as one we would like to visit. We contacted the concierge to make a reservation but after waiting all day to get through, apparently the “phone” lines were down but we decided to take a chance and show up. When we walked in, we were asked if we had a reservation and we told them that the Marriott had tried all day but could not get through. There were about 3 other tables occupied outside and no one inside but we were made to feel like we were not wanted. We were seated and the service was ok but the servers seemed like we were an imposition. The food was average and we definitely did not enjoy our experience there. Would not recommend it at all.

This place is amazing, set on a private property and a member only club. The place is gorgeous with coral pillars and a high pavilion of wood to dine inside of. When we went it was around 7:30p and the place was barely crowded. Lobster tail was amazing. My friends pork chop was overcooked and they gladly replaced it with a lobster. Service was excellent. Top notch place and very romantic.

Sprat Net

Sprat net is wonderful restaurant located approximately 20 minutes north of Basseterre in Old Road Village. It is right on the water and is open for dinner. The owners are fishermen who go out in the morning and then serve their daily catch in the evening

Reviewed By sck1

A local dive master recommended this place and it was enjoyed. A bit on the hectic side-you ordered at a counter(line up) then payed across the room at the bar, then found a table space, inside the shed which was smokey to outside which we got. It took a while to get the food since they came around and asked who we were-6 times. When the food arrived we enjoyed it. We had ribs and local lobster( nothing like cold water type) and potato,squash,and bread and Jonnycake roll. The food was pretty good but the atmosphere was very good if you like that type of casual local flavor-we did. They had a band and the locals were there by the hundreds. aside for the students at the Vet school we might been the only "outsiders" The live lobsters were kept in a boat like tank so they were very fresh. I would recommend but get there by 6:30 because it got crowded and the parking is crazy.

A bit off the beaten path, but only 1/4 miles from the cruise ship port. Good local cuisine and authentic Caribbean food. Very casual, screened-porch setting. This establishment is a local Hotspot for lunch and is totally worth checking out.

It was unfortunate that we didn't find this spot sooner! If you enjoy authentic Caribbean food as a native of the Caribbean, you will not be disappointed. The food selection is vast and the prices are very reasonable. It's equivalent to dinner for American meal. I ate the fried snapper and my husband enjoyed the oxtail. And the service was prompt. The server was nice to explain the parking to avoid us getting a ticket! We will be back on our next trip to St. Kitts!Hello tsmar2008, .Sorry you didn't find us before, .Looking forward to your future visits. Jas Ken Elfredos team

Serendipity

Reviewed By Scott C

Our host, Pauline Horton was gracious and delightful; she owns Serendipity along with her husband Alexander James. This amazing restaurant is located in the Fortlands near downtown Basseterre. The fantastic view of the harbor is exceeded by the excellent food, the outstanding service, delicious beverages and the totality of its al fresco dining experience. Serendipity came highly recommended to us by the Island’s own Omoro Hodge, a recommendation confirmed by the many patrons who came to enjoy Serendipity’s welcoming atmosphere and exquisite culinary creations while we were there. For visitors like us to leaders and residents of the Island, Serendipity belongs on everyone’s list of places to visit on St. Kitts.

Fantastic location ( right on the water front with a pier you can eat/chill on), cool restaurant design, REALLY attentive service, great food - visited twice with our daughters and everyone agreed it was one of the best places we ate. Recommend the evenings they have live music ( we went on a Thursday for this), also they hold a monthly full moon party which we did not try out but would if we return to St Kitts

Marshalls

Reviewed By kathymJ6476LY

We made reservations thru Nicola at the Marriott who recommended Marshalls. It was a stormy night (Tropical Storm) but we ventured out anyway. Alvin with Alvin taxi and tours picked us up, brought us to the restaurant and upon our arrival 2 gentlemen came running our with umbrellas for the ladies. We were seated next to a large window and the view was beautiful - tropical foliage all lit up with the glistening water drops. The food was delicious and the service second to none. It was a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. When we finished, they called Alvin who was there in minutes to pick us up. Fabulous experience

We arrived in downtown Basseterre and searched for a restaurant with a great view, and we found this somewhat hidden gem!! Timo Bar and Kitchen is on the second floor and has literally the best view of the Carribean but you must first walk through a casino to get to the stairs!! It is very close to the cruise ship dock. The food was delicious, service great and the view spectacular!!! We definitely will return here! We loved it!Thank you very much. Will be our pleasure to host you again.
