First let me say that I just finished my 21st visit to Nevis, and I write the Nevis1.com website. With that in mind, I can honestly say that Oualie is TRULY the finest mid-range resort on Nevis. I have stayed there at leat 8 times, and never had a problem. OK, the rooms are not 4 seasons, but they also don't cost $600.00 a night.

My Grandmother who has been to Nevis even more times than me, and to over 125 countries, loves this place. Oualie has been written up in travel magazines more times than I can count, and has always won awards. BTW they just won another.

The owner's, The Yearwoods have bent over backwards to help people out. For example several years ago, my credit card would not work at a local ATM, so they GAVE me a $ 100.00 credit to eat with, and said " when you get home just send us a check". Now I maybe old, 45, but you just don't find this kind of service anymore, let alone trust.

I beseech thee, nay emplore thee, to check out other reviews on Oualie Beach. One bad review does not make for a complete picture.

The rooms are clean, the staff wonderful, and the food well above par.

Cheers, Tragic Magic, webmaster of too many Nevis sites to mention.

Thanks again to the people of Nevis :)

PS I have also been written up in numerous travel magazines for my knowledge of Nevis.

We spent 5 nights at the Oualie Beach Resort in February. Overall we enjoyed our stay and recommend the hotel. Oualie is a bunch of cottages located directly on Oualie beach. Nothing fancy, but it is a nice relaxing place.

We had the premium room which featured the large bathroom. The premium rooms are further from the water than the older basic rooms, but we were still steps from the beach.

We only ate breakfast at the restaurant. The food was good, a little pricey, and the service slow.

Nevis is a very upscale little island that is really a nice place to get away from it all. It is not a good place to party, snorkel, or partake in activities.

My trip to Nevis was a wonderful experience, it started off a little bumpy as not receiving my luggage when my husband and I arrived. I must admitt I was very groggy when I checked in, tired from the long flight and to add my missing luggage. My first night at the hotel did not go too well as I got bitten all over and could not sleep, probably my mind was on my luggage why I didn't let my self relax but after that first night everything went so well. The hotel staff is very friendly and always eager to assist you with what ever question or query you may have and they never are hisitant to answer you not to mention nakida she was so pleasant to us always greated us with a smile, what my husband and I liked is that she didn't treat us as a "Tourist" she treated us as one of her kind and that made us feel so welcomed. We felt so sad when we had to leave but we most definitely will be back. The rooms were exceptional, the food, fantastic chef jason does a great job. We are sure to visit the oualie beach hotel again

This was our second trip to Nevis. Nevis is a beautiful, serene island. BUT Nevis is not particularly easy to get to. You must fly thru San Juan and then take a prop plane to the island... so when you arrive, you really are tired, overheated and uncomfortable. On our first nite the air conditioning was not working. There is a large fan over the bed so the nite was quite bearable...with a trade wind blowing. The much vaunted chef, Jason, arrived after we did that night, so our first meal...very expensive... was a great disappointment. Service, with exception of Tim, not so great. We quite frankly never gave the restaurant a second chance. There are too many other great places to eat on the island. Not a good way to start a vacation. But it did get better. The room was a premier with a very comfortable king size bed. The screened-in porch was a delight and the view, especially of the sunset, was glorious. Bathroom is gigantic with two sinks...towels new, crispy clean and plentiful. We had a small fridge in room. Ants only a problem if you drop food/drink on the floor. The housekeeping was wonderful. We had a delightful maid who was sweet, cheerful and welcoming. She was a wealth of information on the island and made us feel so welcome. This is not always the case on Nevis. Many young women are very reserved and can be borderline rude. It may be the culture. They may not like Americans. We tried to be as courteous as we could and friendly...but it can be a little off putting.
Places to eat. Gallipot is my absolute fav. Try the chicken korma. Sunshine's ribs were good...but it's a beach place...appeals to a younger crowd . Coconut's was wonderful as well...like being in a giant beach hut. Food and ambience exquisite.Nesbit Plantation for lunch with a great steel band.The food on Nevis, is by and large, what you might expect in a good gourmet restaurant with prices to match. There are not too many places that are inexpensive.
Oualie Beach and Nevis as a whole, attracts a quiet, and well traveled crowd..at least that was our experience. The beach at Oualie is not the most beautiful, but adequate.(Pinney Beach is the stunner) Plenty of comfortable beach chairs. Watch out for the red ants...at least I THINK that's what they were. Keep your shoes on and your feet on the beach chair. I am still itching from their nasty, painful bites.
Nevis is not an island for boozing & carousing. It is very environmentally conscious, drug free,quiet and serene. It's a place for snorkling, catching up on your reading and relaxing. If you want a carnival atmosphere, Nevis is not for you.
