What a great place to stay. The staff was fantastic, both friendly and helpful during the whole week.
Although we could have had daily room service, we've gotten used to not having this anymore, so we just kept the do not disturb sign on our door. On the other hand, if we needed anything, housekeeping provided it very quickly.
We also used their laundry room one time. Fast, efficient machines. $3.50 USD each for a washer and dryer. Lets you pack less:)
We had the one bedroom with kitchen, second floor, with our balconies facing the lagoon. The kitchen had most of what we needed except for baking trays. If you need those you can buy aluminum ones at Ram's next door. It was just a bit weird seeing so many cabinets in a kitchen pretty much empty though:) Maybe they have so many of them for people who stay long term?
One really great thing about this hotel is it's location. You are within a 20 minute's drive from all the best beaches on the island (Frigate Bay, South Friars Bay and Cockleshell Bay Beach).
You can walk to Frigate Bay Beach in under twenty minutes. We did these a few times at the end of the day to enjoy the sunset with drinks at Mr. X’s Shiggidy Shack. There are a number of other bars/restaurants along the strip as well.
We also checked out the beach at the Marriott across the street. You are allowed to go there, just not use their chairs and umbrellas. Not sure if you can rent them. But to be honest, the water is not as calm on this side of the island. We saw plenty of guests at the beach there but no one in the water:)
Note, the hotel provides beach towels. You just need to ask for them at the front desk. You can drop them off when you return and get fresh ones the next day. For the pool, you should be able to get towels at the pool itself, but just not sure how often they replenish them there.
Ideally you have a car when you visit. There is free parking at the hotel and touring around the island is a must. And if you are there for at least a week, plan for a day visiting Nevis. Leave your car at one of the two parking lots at the port in Basseterre (only $2 USD). Both are close to the ferry terminal.
We would definitely stay here again in the future.
