Not hundreds of apartments in a hotel, not a beach by the hotel gate. Rather, a cozy place, like an Italian villa, with different layers, and only 82 rooms (large, well equipped). Personal attention to the guests, nice breakfast, closer to downtown, and a shuttle bus to take to the beaches. Great option, for the ones that value smaller and... More

Stayed here for a week over Easter. Found the hotel adequate and the island disappointing. The hotel overlooks the harbour and is a short walk into town. Unfortunately the walk is along a beach strewn with garbage with stray dogs roaming around on the one side and dilapidated buildings with the inevitable locals lying on the sidewalk and hanging out...

On behalf of the team at Ocean Terrace Inn we are all very sorry to read your review and to learn that you found St Kitts a disappointment. The walk into town, which I do myself once or twice a week is quite an adventure and I was pleased to see now that the St Kitts Ministry of Works has... More

Room was clean and well maintained by the housekeeping. Free wifi works fine. The pool areas are really nice and peaceful. The breakfast is quite basic, I... More

Great setting tumbling down a hillside overlooking Basseterre Harbour/Bay with diving pelicans to entertain you as you relax on your balcony. Staff are welcoming and friendly and management keen to learn what you think and how the hotel could be improved. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a suite so we had our own lounge/ diner and kitchenette,... More

My wife and I have been to OTI six times in the last ten years. We have loved it every time. Ocean Terrace Inn gives you that old British aura that still lingers on St. Kitts.
