thats unusual. We are here again for my wife’s birthday and they left us a huge choco cake in our room with a bottle of red wine. That’s on top of an upgrade to Nevis Suite.
we’ve only eaten breakfast and the Saturday night buffet. So far the food has been great. All you can eat lobster for $65 is a steal for someone who can eat a lot of rock lobster.
don’t really eat lunch. Just snacks from stores we picked up
rest of the time we eat at spice mill.
We did the chefs table dinner last year and it was fantastic and we will do it again this year. Not only is the food great but it’s a great value for what you get. A private dinner in the kitchen.

LOL, now I’m even more frustrated. Not only did we not get any of that, they charged us $50/night for an upgrade to a junior suite. Now I feel like I have a kick me sign on my back this stay. I said something to the front desk this morning and they apologized and said they would send some cake to the room, but that was before I knew about the Nevis upgrade and bottle of wine. Oh well, grin and bear it. Also, I haven’t seen any offers for private dining. Normally we would jump at something like that but haven’t seen if it’s even being offered. Our dinner the other night in the great house got overwhelmed by a graduation party from the local veterinary school. The positives are the wonderful staff and the grounds are beautiful & tranquil in the off season!
also we are repeats. Last year we got upgraded to the executive suite with a pool, but just Nevis this time.
I would gladly give you our bottle of wine. Local rum is so good, no time to drink the wine.

I’m here right now exactly a year since last time.
one big change is that breakfast is all al a cart. No buffet. Not sure if this is a off season thing or not.
low season
hotel about 25% full
weather is fantastic
pool is warm
rent car from thrifty. It’s the only car rental located AT the airport. also very nice guys won’t try to sell you insurance you don’t need.
you do not have to buy the $25 driving permit if you bring your international drivers permit from AAA.

I have a stay coming up in January and was just curious what kind of car you ended up with. I have a reservation with both Hertz and Thrifty but would prefer to go with Thrifty since they are on airport. Also what was the pick up process like, if you don't mind. Thanks.
when you get out of the terminal, make a right and go into the departure building. And go all the way to the right and it’s a last little office room.
i paid about $50 a day.
also you can get a free car in Nevis when you rent from thrifty. Just give them notice on when you will be in Nevis.

I got a 2019 Toyota compact hatchback. Very easy rental process. No hard sell on any up charge.

I’m just back from Park Hyatt St. Kitts and had a fantastic stay at this resort. Here are some of my photos and a few things I loved most:
- Spectacular and unobstructed views of the sparkling Caribbean Sea and island neighbor of Nevis. The focal point is beautiful Nevis Peak: lush, vividly green, and rising 3,232 feet from sea level. Morning sunrises are beautiful and worth getting up early for.
- The food was consistently excellent and I loved the focus on local ingredients and freshly caught seafood, island-inspired menus, gorgeous preparation and presentation, and eclectic international twist.
- I loved the beachy contemporary interiors. The spacious rooms and suites have white shiplap walls, rain-showers with fabulous blue ombre subway tiles, soaking tubs, and private outdoor terraces with sea views.
- There’s so much to do when visiting PH St Kitts: Miraval Spa for a wide assortment of treatments, yoga and fitness, ocean activities and non-motorized water sports, two fabulous pools for swimming and lounging, rum tasting, rainforest and volcano hikes, ATV tours, zip lining, day trips to Nevis, golf, boat charters, and more.
- The Island Fort kids’ club is complimentary for kids between the ages of 3 - 12.
- Don’t miss SALT Plage for incredible sunsets and cocktails. It’s about 10 minutes from the resort by taxi.
This resort is perfect for couples and honeymooners during the quieter months, and a great choice for families during the holidays and Spring Break :-)

Family of 5 considering this property for spring break. I know it's peak season but what is the best bang for buck for a 4N stay? I am ok paying cash (plus hyatt points, ideally) for an entry level suite as long as resort credits, breakfasts, 4N free and other ancillary benefits are there. What is the best recommendation as to how to book? Cannot book a suite online with C&P - cash only. Is it because it's peak season? Feedback welcome.

I'd suggest finding a Prive agent to see if they have any deals or options for a suite. Are you globalist? TSU should apply and you can just book the cheapest room available.

It's a one time $100 resort credit and yes, Prive rates include breakfast for two daily, the 1 category confirmed upgrade and welcome amenity.

Hmm, even the exec suite? I guess sofa beds aren't a thing with these suites!
