We just returned from our second trip to the Golden Lemon, ( See earlier review from Burke 2003) and we could not disagree more with the Canadian reviewer's comments . We researched that first trip extensively from several sources and the story of the Inn appealed to us. We were not expecting or looking for a Four Seasons or Aman-... more

We have recently returned from a one week stay at the Golden Lemon. For those who have never been before, don't go. For those who have been there in the past, it would be a very sad experience to return now. The inn has apparently been sold and was basically empty. It was a shadow of what must have been... more

Twenty-five years our we were married at The Golden Lemon. We just returned from celebrating our silver anniversary there. Both my husband and I were a little concerned that things wouldn't be as we remembered them. Boy, were we surprised ! Arthur and his staff were as terrific as we had remembered. Think they remembered us as well. The Beach... more

The Golden Lemon never disappoints us not matter how often we return. No hassle when we call the property and make reservations. The staff is friendly, polite and anticipate our every need without imposing on our privacy. Our own private villa with plunge pool...pure heaven for a couple of overworked people needing to destress. What can we say about the... more

I've just returned from a week at the Golden Lemon -- my third visit in four years. Having stayed on more than a dozen islands in the Caribbean over the past 20 years, I consider the Golden Lemon by far the best spot for a beautiful, classic island getaway -- and it is hands-down the best value as well. On... more

The Golden lemon was the most disappointing 'hotel' I have ever had the misfortune to stay at. It is a collection of rundown cottages ('villas') on a dirty beach with a nice tropical garden and pool and a lovely rundown greathouse. Our beachfront 'villa' was surrounded by a high wall which i discovered later was for security and to avoid... more

We revisited The Golden Lemon Christmas 2005. The first time was on our honeymoon in 1993. The reason we are writing our review one year later is because we were thinking of a long weekend somewhere and the place that keeps comming to mind is The Golden Lemon. Our first visit was wonderful but our second visit was so much... more

Thomas and I visited Arthur and Martin in January 2006. It was a great spot. We met some wonderful interesting people. The service was top and everyone went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Delicious food! We enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of the wind and waves just outside our room. We recommend a rental as... more

My husband and I just returned from a week’s stay at The Golden Lemon. We’ve been there in the past but found the place has kept its high standards. We had an absolutely wonderful time and felt very safe. The management and staff went out of their way to do anything for us. For value, we took the all inclusive... more

We stayed at the Golden Lemon for a few days for our Honeymoon. We would not reccomend it though. In the first week we stayed at The Montpelier on Nevis and that was the most amazing place that we had ever been. The Golden Lemon didn't compare. We had read the bad reviews before we went and also some good... more
