We stayed at the Bird Rock 1/13/12-1/23/12 on our annual "small hotel/dive gettaway on an island in January" trip. The Bird Rock met all of our expectations.
We avoid the big hotels and busy night life whenever we can so finding the Bird Rock was a great pleasure. The hotel warned us that is was out of the way in case we were looking for something else. I thought that was a nice touch-trying in insure that we knew what we were getting.
In contrast to many St. Kitts hotels, the Bird Rock's rooms face the water. Most have a porch which is perfect for morning coffee and evening sunsets, which we used every day to enjoy both the sun and the free drink which came with our day of diving. This is a very nice setting.
The staff and management were the best we have experienced in our 20 year of this kind of island travel. Friendly. Helpful. No sign of distraction from their jobs ever. Management helped to arrange a scooter rental for a bit less than average priciing.
The hotel is not new, but it is servicable. There is pealing paint and broken fixtures in places, but everything works. Our room was quite large and the furniture was not new, but the bed was comfortable and that was about all we used the room for. We had a problem with our shower which was fixed within an hour.
We used the swimming pool every day. It was clean and inviting always.
We bought the breakfast package and found a full and diverse menu of well prepared food which was severed by staff who learned who you were and by the third day knwo what you wanted and prepared for our arrival. We had only one dinner at the hotel chosing rather to use our scooter to explore the island and its restaurants. Good burger from the beach bar. AND the beer is cold!!
If you are looking for lux and spiffy go elsewhere. if you want to be welcomed and served by folks who are glad you are there, give Greg and his staff a try.

My husband and I stayed at the hotel from February 29 to March 6 2012. We wanted a beach (and we got a small one), a diving shop, a kitchenette in our room and a clean place to stay: we got it all. The place was very quiet and exactly what we hoped for. The staff was courteous and friendly. If you need something, just ask, they'll do their best to help.
The pool, the rooms, lawns and beach are clean. Don't expect the beauty and luxury of a 5 star hotel, but a rustique style you will find across the island.
We rented a car for a few days and drove around the island - 3 days was more then enough to go ALL around the island and laze around other beaches.
I would NOT recommend the Golden Lemon - it is far from the airport and the surroundings look broken down.
Do stop for a coffee at the Rawlins Plantation Inn - it was a wonderful surprise to be served a spicy cake with our coffe in a podom. If you can afford it, it's a beautiful place to stay surrounded by luxious tropical vegetation. It's at least a 45 minute drive from the airport and a car is needed to go to the beach.
If you want a long chair and umbrella at the Carambola, you have to pay! Finally, it was a great deal! 10$ US for a long chair and 10$ US for an umbrella. You could get served on the beach and the staff was not bothersome. We'd go back there anytime, it was worth it. My only problem was the bathroom lady...did she want a tip? She seemed skepticle to let me use a bathroom one day? Hmm.
Finally, Bird Rock Beach Hotel was a great choice for our budget and we would go back with the kids next time too.

My Brother and I spent a week at the Bird Rock Beach in March.
It's off the beaten track, but close enough to walk to the local super markets (15 mins) and Basseterre (30 mins). A taxi from the aiport cost $14USD and takes about 10 mins.
The room was large with a balcony overlooking the sea + the island of Nevis. This is a place to come to if you want to seriously chill out. Dive, snorkel and shoot the breeze. If you're after bustling night-life, well I guess Basseterre is only 10 mins ($10USD) by taxi.
The staff are really friendly. We we here for a diving break (Dive St.Kitts are awesome) and on a B&B basis. This was great.
For lunch, head down to Rockies for beers and food in the sun. All very chilled out.
The snorkelling off the beach here is not to be missed. Every time I was out I was bumping into Hawksbill turtles and just loads of marine life.
I would definitely come back.
If you want fast paced holidays and loads of things to do (post 9pm) then go some place else.

had a great vacation with Birdrock as our 'homebase'. We WALKED to town, WALKED over the hill to Frigate Bay (did take a taxi back after a meal & a few rum punches). Walked to the bakery down the road, enjoyed the patios & pool overlooking the ocean. It didn't break the bank, and all that was necessary we found at Birdrock. Someone wanting to be waited on hand & foot needed to PAY for that kind of service elsewhere.
Food was great, staff were all cordial, and helpful. Room was clean.
