“Great time at Timothy Bay”

Timothy Beach Resort

May 5, 2008
6/6 found this review helpful

I decided to visit St. Kitts because I heard it wasn't touristy. That was obvious when researching hotels -- the choice of beachfront accommodations is very limited compared to other islands. Timothy was the best for me since I would be staying for only a 4 day long weekend: the beach was right there with snorkeling, nightlife was right along the beach, the hotel has a restaurant and the beach bar/grills allowed more dining options. Note: I am a young 51 year old African-American female and travel a lot alone.
On arrival, the receptionist was professionally welcoming, however it took a lot of effort on her part to get a staff member to help take my luggage to my room. The hotel is set into Timothy Hill and there are steps and steep ramps leading to the rooms. While waiting, she arranged a catamaran tour to Nevis for the following day on the Spirit of St. Kitts.
My very spacious ocean view room (C23) was located near the far end of the property had a large balcony with table and chairs. It was clean and the king size bed was comfortable. Two side chairs, a desk/dressing table with chair, eterge with tv and mini refrigerator completed the furniture. The refrigerator was old but functional. As other reviewers have stated, the A/C is a problem in that the fan speed or coolness can't be regulated -- it's either full blast (very cold) or nothing at all. Often I opened the windows and sliders to take advantage of the trade winds instead. Cable reception was not that clear, but there were numerous US channels including HBO.
The bathroom was adequate. The caulking could be redone but it was generally clean; hot water and towels were good. I'm finicky so always carry my own toiletries, but if you don't you'll only have soap here.
The restaurant was pretty good, but the dinner menu could have been more extensive for my taste. The beach bar had a 2 for 1 happy hour and great sunset views. I didn't even know where the pool was until my last day (above the beach bar); when in the Caribbean I'm mainly interested in the sea.
Right down the path was Mr. X's Shiggidy Shack, the beginning of bar/grill row. It was fun to stroll down and see what each venue had to offer. Friday is the big party night; Saturday Ziggy's was the hottest spot. People were friendly and fun loving.
The sailing catamaran tour was great -- staff wonderful and attentive to a single lady. The food was decent on Nevis and the snorkeling stop was adequate for novice snorkelers (not enough variety to be exceptional to me).
On my last morning, I finally saw a Vervet monkey crossing the road and got a quick photo. One of the housekeepers mentioned if I got some fruit, I would be able to lure lots of monkeys out of a tree at the end of the property. I went back to the restaurant, was offered a banana by a waitress and I broke it into pieces. One by one, monkeys came to the outer branches of the tree, and a couple bold souls came over to pick up the banana pieces. I ended up getting great pictures of these small primates.
All in all, I had a wonderful time. The hotel could make a few improvements, but I will stay there again just the way it is. I met someone who took me over to take a look at the massive Marriott, and I would not stay there even if it were free. Timothy Beach is just right for a St. Kittian experience.

“Amazing Wedding Week”

Timothy Beach Resort

May 4, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

My husband and I decided to go away for our wedding. St Kitts was our spot, and Timothy Beach was the hotel we stayed at! We did ALL of our wedding thru e mail with Joyce, Laurel, and Virgil. All were great to deal with and made it SO EASY planning our wedding over e mail!! Once we got there Joyce had set up a taxi service for us, Uncle Millie was his name and he also was Wonderful to work with!! We used him the entire week, he took us everywhere we wanted to go, he even watched us get married!! we made sure that he was back in plenty of time to pick us up. Our wedding day was so perfect, there was no stress around THANKS to the staff at Timothy Beach!! The resturant was yummy and the staff was very accomdating. The bartenders where full of fun also! The rooms where perfect!! we would so reccomend ocean view over mountain view, the ocean view you can see the cruise ships coming and going! The ocean is so beautifull, also you can see the golf course too!! Over all our time spent at Timothy Beach we give it 5 stars!!! I couldnt have asked for better people to work with!! Everybody that went this us also enjoyed the staff at Timothy Beach

“Relaxing”

Timothy Beach Resort

3/3 found this review helpful

The Timothy Beach is a traditional Caribbean beach hotel.. It is not the Marriott. The staff was friendly, restaurant service good, and location convenient.
The rooms are not fancy. They are clean, bright, and comfortable. We had an oceanview (cost an extra $10 per night, off-season) room with cable TV, good aircon, ceiling fan, and small refrigerator.
The room and whole resort was very clean and the landscaping well kept. The beach is nice, on the calm Caribbean side. The Sunset Beach Bar was friendly and attracted "walk-overs" from the Marriott. Several beach bars are a stones throw away.

“Timothy's Beach Resort-Some Problems”

3/4 found this review helpful

Timothy's was recommended by friends who stayed there twice and liked it. However we weren't so lucky there is only one surly person on all of St. Kitts and she is at the desk of TBR. We arrived having only slept 2 hours and were told that there was no reservation from Orbitz and even after showing our paperwork, we were told to come back in an hour. Then our room had an a/c with no thermostat, it was either off or on, had to get up in the night several times. The tv didn't work and had bad connection to cable and had no tv for 3 nights. Wouldn't move us to another room that they clearly had because" we hadn't paid for a better type of room". The location by the beach and the beach 'shacks' gives you: beach, cheaper food and entertainment on Thurs-
Saturday. However we could still here the music thru earplugs, so be prepared, at least it was good island music. The surly lady insulted the cab driver that came to pick us up for our first day trip and that helped us 'bond'. He was a real find, he has lived in England and worked there, has 2 Oxford educated sons and doesn't have as strong of an island accent and is easier to understand. We booked for a trip around the island and he was great, introducing us to a local restaurant that was good and cheap island food, went back 3 times! We would just call him whenever we went somewhere, you will need a taxi a few times, so here is his name and #: Gordon Carey [----]. . St Kitts is great, do the catamaran/snorkel trip to Nevis, the people here don't treat you like a tourist and do the volcano hike, you can do it!!!

6/6 found this review helpful

We have just returned from our third trip to St Kitts and each time we have stayed at TBR. The important thing to remember about TBR is that it is not a hotel in the true sense of the word. It is really a collection of apartments/condos. We were on a breakfast plan which was great as it meant breakfast was taken care of (although the choice was not huge) and meant that for the rest of the time we were free to try other restaurants. There is much to be said about St Kitts, Nevis and the many restaurants, things to do etc on the island but the purpose of posting this review is to commend TBR. The staff are fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble. The addition of The Docks bar is a real plus as it allows you to sit with a rum punch, watch the sunset and chat with other travellers and locals. What more can you wish for! It really improved our trip and gave the resort a focal point. They also have a live band and a BBQ on a Sunday. We missed the BBQ but the live band was great fun...lots of dancing! TBR is not luxurious but the rooms are spacious, clean and the ocean view is perfect. After all, how much time do you really spend in the room anyway. We have been fortunate enough to visit several Caribbean island and St Kitts is the only one we have returned to. It is not something that we would normally do, but we have stayed at TBR three times now and would go back again in a heartbeat. If you accept that the accomodation is basic, you really cannot fault the place. As you are not tied to the resort by being all-inclusive it really feels like you are living on the island rather than being a tourist on the island. For us, it is fast becoming a second home!
The Sunset Cafe is fine for breakfast but does not have a great ambience for an evening meal. However, other people that we spoke to that had eaten there said it was some of the best food they had had on the island so it's worth giving it a go if you accept it's not a romantic, candles on the table kind of place! Since our return we have e-mailed TBR to thank them and they responded with a lovely e-mail, saying they are looking forward to seeing us again! How many other places in the world would bother to do that!
It really is a lovely low-key resort...we recommend it 100%, go and enjoy yourselves!
