We have never visited anywhere that was in such contrast to the reviews we read beforehand. Rawlins is a beautiful place, there is no question, but the hotel itself - the rooms, the food, the service - were less than you would expect from a Holiday Inn. It is not somewhere that we would return to or recomend. The food... more

This is truly paradise! The Rawlins Plantation property can only be compared to the Garden of Eden. The gardens are breathtaking and the rooms are clean and beautiful. Everyday you have fresh flowers in your room! The food at this place is OUT OF THIS WORLD!! It all starts with drinks on the veranda overlooking the Caribbean with St. Estasia... more

Rawlins Plantation is right at the top of the Island up a track through the sugar cane. Situated on higher ground, the hotel has spectacular views of the sea and is permanently cooled by the breeze. We stayed in Almond Tree; a cottage with a 15ft by 12ft living room, similar sized bedroom, a bathroom and walk-in dressing room which... more

Hi my name is Blondelle, I just got married recently and we spent our first honeymoon night at Rawlins Plantation. If I had my way, I would have stayed forever. However, it was really romantic. My husband and I stayed in the Honeymoon suite, better known as "The Mill." Its an old sugar mill that was refurbished into a honeymoon... more

Just returned from a week at Rawlins Plantation. It was wonderful!It offered pure relaxation and pampering in a naturally beautiful setting. This is a small and intimate resort with only 10 rooms - each in individual and unique cottages. We stayed in "Lemongrass" which offers spectacular ocean views of St. Eustatia and blazing sunsets through coconut trees. The grounds are... more

I stayed for five days and was sorry to leave - athough for the sake of my waistline, I'm glad I did! The food was so delicious - the lunchtime buffet was lovely, and a four-course meal every night... everything was beautifully cooked, and so fresh. Zai was a wonderful hostess and made you feel so welcome. The gardens are... more

We have just returned from a dream vacation in S.t Cristopher (S.t Kitts) and on Nevis Island. We have sampled 5 days of pure bliss att Rawlins plantation. This is an old sugar plantation at the northernmost tip of S.t Kitts. It is quite a long drive from the airport but the present owner, miss Zai, continues to follow the... more

We stayed at Rawlins for a week in December 2004. This is a small property with cottages scattered around the grounds of an old sugar plantation. The cottages are each unique and each interesting; we stayed in Mountainside, which was perfect for us. The grounds are lovely--well maintained and beautifully planted without the ChemLawn feel one often gets at larger... more

What do you get when you combine one of the most beautiful and peaceful places anywhere, well appointed rooms, excellent service, gracious hosts, and amazing food? You get Rawlins, the perfect antidote to the "real world." My wife and I just returned from our second week-long visit to Rawlins, and it was a good as our first visit last year.... more
