Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 274 reviews
Royal St. Kitts Hotel, a family-run business formerly known as Jack Tar Village for over 20 years, is back with a new look, feel, and focus on Kittitian Culture. Here, you'll rediscover your playful side and learn what it means to "lime", a Kittitian term for hanging out and just getting away from it all. Our Kittitian-focused philosophy, which aims to deliver an authentic island experience, is infused into every aspect of our services and facilities. It's no wonder then that Royal St. Kitts Hotel won the Most Creative Business Award at the St. Kitts Tourism Authority's 2008-09 Tourism Awards.
Wholesome hidden gem
Reviewed By Jet617615Lovely hotel where the service really makes the experience - everybody is lovely and willing to help out. 10 mins walk from Timothy beach which is pleasant and lots of places to eat in the vicinity. Pool looks small but is warmed by the sun and can be fun especially as it’s usually empty. Splash food is good and includes fresh pizza. Stayed in a 2 bed apartment with a kitchenette and sofa / tvs within - lovely views from balcony over the hills. Would stay again for sure.

Nice Visit - Don't Need to Go Back
Reviewed By Cheaky44This was our first trip to St. Kitts and we stayed at the Marriott Resort & Royal Beach Casino on points. I booked our 5 night stay in an O/V room and we used SNA’s to upgrade to a 1-bedroom suite. We arrived at St. Kitts Airport, deplaned outside and walked over to the area where there were 2 arrival gates and 2 baggage claim areas. Bags came out in a timely manner, went through immigration and walked outside to catch a taxi. The taxi was $23 USD and took no more than 10-15 minutes to get to the hotel. Upon arrival we were greeted by Tony who took our bags and waited while we checked in. Joshua was behind the desk and went over our Elite options for our stay, gave us 2 bottles of water, room keys and we were on our way. There were 2 elevators for the right wing and 2 for the left wing of rooms; 1 of the elevators was out of service due to renovations on our side. We stayed on the 5th floor (top floor) and walked into a somewhat recently renovated suite. Our room was over-looking the main pool and we had a great view of the ocean and mountains to the side. The room itself had a full living room, small dining room with a small fridge and 1.5 bathrooms that were good size. There was also 2 sets of sliding glass doors to the balcony which had 4 rattan chairs and 2 small tables. The AC was set to 66 degrees when we walked in and we thought we wouldn’t keep it that cool while we were there but we actually did. It ran almost constantly the entire time and kept most of the humidity out. The construction that was going on while we were there wasn’t a big deal in our opinion and you didn’t really hear anything. The bed was super comfortable and we never had a back-ache the entire trip. Housekeeping came daily and did a great job so we tipped her daily. The fridge came in very handy to keep juice/milk cold but didn’t use it for much else. Ice makers on every other floor and provided full buckets of ice – they were never empty. Nobody approached us to attend a timeshare which we were happy about. The hotel itself is very long and runs parallel with the beach. The timeshare units (MVC) were spaced around all 3 of the pools and situated between the hotel and the beach. There was a “stage” in the pool-deck area but they never had anything going on. Every night we came back after dinner, it was completely quiet outside – absolutely NOTHING going on and no music to be heard anywhere outside. One night there was a singer in the lobby bar area but you couldn’t hear her outside. The beach area was terrible and probably the worst beach we’ve ever been on. I don’t know about you, but we really enjoy walking on the beach for about an hour after breakfast before we camp out at the pool. Well, not here. When you are standing on the beach facing the water, you cannot go past the chairs on the right side because you hit rocks and a solid fence. If you go to the left side, you can walk about 6 minutes to the end of their property line before you run into so much seaweed that you are afraid to walk through the mass/in addition to the terrible smell coming from it. The seaweed in the water seems to change/shift each day but again, there’s so much of it you cannot walk into the water, at least that’s what it was like when we were there. You look at the water and it looks black because of how much seaweed is in there. We watched the guys try cleaning most of it up and hauling it away in 8 wheel-barrels but it was all back the next morning. Huge disappointment for us. The resort did have about 75 palapa like/wood & metal parasol covers on the beach that each had 4 sun loungers around them spaced nicely apart from one another but we only saw about 10 of them being used at most. We stayed on the beach instead of the pool area because there was a gorgeous breeze. When we went up to the pool deck on the first day, there was almost no breeze which made it almost unbearable for us to be up there not to mention the old and worn sun loungers that seen better days. Even walking across the deck you ended up sweating like crazy! COVID test were scheduled for us and we received an email the day before indicating what time they booked our appointment. Each test is $70 USD per person and put on our room bill, our appointment was at 9:30 am and we received our results at 6:30 pm the same day. Everyone was friendly at the hotel and we enjoyed ourselves. It was hot and humid every day and only drizzled 1 time. We felt very safe walking outside of the resort to dinner each night. Never went into the casino so I can’t speak on that. The resort is definitely in need of an over-haul as it’s tired and worn. I know they are trying to update things but IMO they should close it down and do a complete reno job and then re-open. There’s just too much to do to the place to bring it into 2022 but then again, it’s all a matter of opinion and what’s important to each person. Food: The resort was maybe 25% full – very few people there and was under some construction but it didn’t bother us. You could tell that the restaurant ARWEE in the lobby was recently renovated as was Café Calypso and the Calypso Restaurant – modern and fresh looking. We ate dinner our first night at ARWEE and loved the teriyaki salmon and the mango wings were good – not great but good and 3 Tito’s for $31 USD. We had pizza from the pizza shack and thought it was very good for lunch. We never ate at FIRE (steak & seafood), La Cucina (Italian) or the Sushi Bar. We did have coconut shrimp out on the beach from Bohemia which is the beach/pool bar and it was also very good. We had breakfast inside Calypso restaurant one morning and it was also very good. The regular “all-american” breakfast was $28 USD and the full-buffet was $29 USD so it didn’t really make sense to do the all-american when you could do the full breakfast and have all you wanted for $1 more. The Calypso Café had great cranberry muffins, expresso and juice. Small selection of items but everything we had was very good and not expensive. We did go across the street to Sweet & Savory a couple times for breakfast and really enjoyed it. The bacon, egg & cheese sandwich on an english muffin was very filing and full of flavor. We each had one, hubby had an expresso and I had a bottle of water for $27 USD. In the same strip mall you found a small grocery store and we picked up a half-gallon of OJ, milk, lemonade, a bag of kettle chips, a bag of cookies and a gallon of distilled water for $36. We popped in there a couple of times during our stay when we needed something. We went to the sushi place called Rituals that’s literally a 7 minute walk from the hotel and thoroughly enjoyed it. The sushi was freshly made right then and there and just melted in your mouth. Small place with indoor and outdoor seating. We planned on going back on Sunday but found out that everything is closed on Sunday nights. We went to Marshall’s at 6 pm another night for dinner without a reservation and was able to be seated right away. They seemed a little “put-off” that we didn’t have a reservation, but there were at least 20 open tables. Our server was very nice and attentive but at first seemed to push us for our orders. After she asked the third time, we politely told her we weren’t ready to order yet and she backed off. However, after we told her this, the manager came to our table and asked us how our appetizers (crab cakes and coconut shrimp) were. Slightly taken aback, we told him they were very good and he said he hoped we enjoyed our entrees as well. Just seemed a little weird to us that he would say that and stop by our table 3 times during the evening. I had the beef medallion and hubby had rack of lamb – both of which were very good. Two things that were wrong about dinner was when they asked us if we wanted regular water or sparkeling, we said regular water. What they DIDN’T tell you was they charged you $10 for a bottle of water to sit at your table. The other thing was the drinks were very weak. I had 3 cosmos and my husband had 3 martini’s – we should have been staggering when we walked out but neither of us were. I even asked to make my cosmo stronger and NOTHING changed. Disappointed to say the least. Dinner was $198 USD. We also went to Rock Lobster on Saturday night for their special. We started off with conch chowder that was excellent and some warm garlic bread. The second course was half of a lobster and half-slab of ribs for me and half of a lobster and fish for the hubby. In addition to this, they included a mound of dirty rice, small mashed-potatoes, cole-slaw, salad, small piece of corn-on-the-cob and a plantain – all of this for $100 EC which is $37 USD. There’s no way we could possibly eat that much food but everything we had was very good. On Sunday’s the only place you’ll be able to have dinner is “on the strip” as everything else is closed with the exception of a pizza place that’s on the road before you get to the strip. So, on Sunday we decided to take a cab down to Cathy’s for dinner. Taxi was $10 USD each way from hotel. The strip is literally shack after shack after shack on the beach that is comprised of bars and restaurants. We were a little hesitant to go since a friend told us she was disappointed but we were greatly surprised. There are 3 picnic tables on the beach, 4 tables on the deck and about 7 tables inside the shack to sit at. The place is run by Cathy and her husband, who’s name escapes me right now. We started with the rum punch which was super fresh, light and sweet. Unfortunately, I found out rum gives me an awful headache so I couldn’t finish my drink – but hubby did! Word to the wise, they’re strong so be careful. LOL The lobster ($60 for 2 full tails) and shrimp dinner was outstanding and I enjoyed every single bite. I’ve never had lobster that was so tender in my life – amazing. My husband had the jerk chicken and it was incredibly tasty. Albeit expensive for 2 pieces of chicken ($14 for a drumstick and thigh), it was very good. In addition to the entrée, they also served you another full plate that included plantains, mixed vegetable medley, a small salad, rice and some potato salad. Again, you cannot eat everything because there’s so much but it was soooo good. We were very happy we decided to give it a try. Overall we made it a great vacation and all of the food was excellent. Now that we've been to this resort, we have no need to go back. There are other places that we would look at first.

Pricey but excellent service
Reviewed By C3948PGchristopherbThe 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

Relaxing, Lovely, Caribbean Gem!
Reviewed By reedmangregI 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! :)

Again, you cannot eat everything because there’s so much but it was soooo good. We were very happy we decided to give it a try. Overall we made it a great vacation and all of the food was excellent. Now that we've been to this resort, we have no need to go back. There are other places that we would look at first.

Boutique family-owned and operated resort offering a casual atmosphere, friendly staff, spacious accommodations and the island's premiere dive operation. All rooms are tastefully furnished and have amazing views of the Caribbean Sea.
Quiet stay!!
Reviewed By Peggy SThis hotel was clean and the front desk staff were pleasant. The view from our balcony and the pool was spectacular. They seem to be in the middle of expanding. Our room was clean and comfortable. The 2 restaurants available have limited menus but the food is adequate. The only real issue for me was that we stayed for 4 days and the pool was never cleaned and it needed it. It was very quiet which is what we were looking for. Attached to the hotel area is a dolphin training site so you can watch the staff feed and train the dolphins during the day. This is certainly not a classy hotel but it is clean and quiet. Perfect for a rest. It also has a diving operation attached to it.
