St. Kitts and Nevis is unspoiled now, but the cruise ships have found it, so go quickly. We went in the low season, September 2009, so some restaurants and activities were closed, but we still went horseback riding, snorkling, and took a catamaran cruise. Don't miss the ferry between St. Kitts and Nevis. It is a hoot!

A beautiful island. Very scenic and historic. The cleanest Caribbean Island I've been to, with very friendly people. Beautiful, clear blue water. The beaches are golden/black volcanic sand that get EXTREMELY HOT (my feet have blisters to prove this). A little disappointing, not the typical white sand with turquoise water that you think of on a Caribbean island. More of a disappointment was the food. Expensive food, small portions that did not taste that great. I do not mind paying for good food, but it was not good food. The resort's food (Marriott) was very expensive. The Marriott was very nice, well equipped rooms, large beach with spectacular views, but the pools were horrible. I had to empty out the strainers because they were overflowing with leaves. They did say that the North and South pools were getting renovated in October. I would not go back to St. Kitts, but I am glad that we did go because we did have a good time and it is a beautiful island.

09/07/09 Family just returned home from Carnival Victory cruise. Last stop was St. Kitts. BEAUTIFUL. Would love to return ASAP. Our tour guide, Thenford Grey, was the nicest gentleman anywhere! Booked him online instead of at excursion desk. Saved a few $$. He took us on a tour that ended at Cockleshell Bay which had its own restaurant and bathrooms. Swimming and watching pelicans dive into water was great. Bay overlooked Nevis. Drove through new developments which look nice and expensive with Tom Fazio golf course under construction.
Can't wait to return.

Spent our honeymoon in St. Kitts. Beautiful island, not too commercialized, nice people. We scuba dived, snorkeled, rented a car and toured the island on our own, and sailed a hobie cat. Places we recommend, Reggae Beach, Kate Spencer's Art Gallery, Batik Factory, Shipwreck's for fish tacos, and don't miss the strip at South Frigate Beach. You might be shocked at the ramshakle appearance of the restuarants, but these places have the best food and best prices on the island. By far Cathy's has the best food, plus the Rainbow Bar and Shiggity Shack are wonderful, too. Go see the Fire Dancer on Thursday and then Friday night all the locals hang out all night. We stayed at the Marriott and it was first class. Great pools, restaurants, and some fun activities, too.
