We vacationed on Nevis, mid-Nov. to Dec. 23, and required an overnight hotel on St. Kitts due to an early morning departure from SKB on Dec. 24. We couldn't have been happier with management of reservation handling, competitive price, facilities and location. In many respects, we should have planned on two nights as there are numerous attractions within walking distance. Our "brunch" in the Waterfalls Restaurant, on-site, was well above average. Our room was spacious and clean. The grounds and pools were very attractive. The only caveate would be that there are many stairs that would challenge anyone with mobility issues. A short taxi ride to the airport at 6 a.m. was not a highlight but handled flawlessly by the the front desk. Cheers. Richard.

I travel a lot and experience many different hotels. So I try to be fair and objective when referring or criticizing hotels.

Business required, yep, required a trip to St Kitt's. It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it. Since my plans were last minute, the only decent place to stay was OTI. So I was concerned reading some of the commentary on Tripadvisor. First recommendation, measure negative remarks about any hotel by how picky the reviewer is. YOU know what I mean. If we're talking about dirt in the corner of a room, the reviewer has too much time on their hands and not really looking at the big picture.

I would recommend OTI without hesitation but with some qualifications. First, their service is great. In the last year, new management has been focusing heavily on providing a great experience for the guest. Every staff member greeted me with a genuine smile and showed sincere interest. I will overlook other weaknesses if I am getting exceptional service. Is the property older and needing some updates? Yes. Is the price of the stay a good value? Absolutely! Since OTI is not in the heart of the more frequented touristy areas, they seem to bend over backward to accommodate guest interests.

While the property and management are committed to making updates, OTI is a charming setting and is a great alternate to the big, predicable hotel resorts. It's certainly a better reflection of St Kitt's history and culture, but that's what this traveler prefers. I would steer you to OTI or Ottley's before the Marriott, if I may be so forward.

Watch for Ocean Terrace Inn to be an emerging treasure in a developing St Kitt's tourist market.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Close to several wonderful restaurants. The rooms were clean, the views were perfect. Close to downtown Bassaterre made experiencing the island fun and easy. There is an awesome grill on the pool area that is very reasonably priced.
My only complaint would be the wifi access was shotty for the last half of the visit.

I attended a reception at the hotel and the service was very poor. The choice of drink was red or white wine or punch so I chose the punch. I got a small glass of punch that after one sip it was finished. Asked the server for another glass and she said no you can only have one with attitude,she didn't even said let her find out if another glass can be served. My collegue asked for a glass because she did't have any drink and it took about 45mins for her to get it after we had to ask another server. The food was terrible tasteless and am a caribean person so I know how good food taste and i also work in the restaurant business thats why I knew that the second glass of punch not wine could have been served. Please improve on your customer service and remind your servers that caribean people deserve the same service as tourist because we pay our money as well.
