The Four Seasons Nevis is a terrific place to have a laid back holiday by the beach, pool and spa. The resort is also a great choice for a more active holiday. There are three different marked trails on the resort, and every morning we had breakfast and did the longer (five mile) hike up the mountain and around the golf course. It is up hill for the first half of the walk, but it pays off in spades on the return with spectacular views of the resort, the ocean and St. Kitts in the distance. My wife is an advanced tennis player, and she enjoyed the Peter Burwash based tennis program. Each day was a different clinic (both hard court and red clay) and it was a good way to meet other guests. All of the pros were fantastic. We played three rounds of golf on the Robert Trent Jones designed course. It is a really fun course and not too difficult (intermediate players will enjoy it). It has many mountain side elevated tees looking out over the ocean. You need to take a power cart since it is very hilly (built into a mountain) and there are some fairly long distances between tees. You will see many monkeys on the course, which adds to the tropical setting. We were pleased to learn that the resort offered free laundry and detergent in each building. We could have packed much lighter knowing this prior to arriving. I'd suggest booking in advance for Mango restaurant so you can sit on the terrace over looking the ocean - spectacular! Nevis is very safe island and we went out to three meals off the resort property - our favorite was "Bananas Bistro". It is tucked into the jungle and is oozing with ambiance. Overall, Four Seasons Nevis is a terrific resort experience offering your choice of a relaxing or active holiday.

Great arrival on boat from St Kitts. You are met at the airport and driven the short journey through Basseterre to the port. It's a fun boat ride across to volcanic Nevis and the Four Seasons pier. Pinney's beach is not the white sands and turquoise waters of the Bahamas, but it stretches for miles and with the looming mountain behind, it is pretty dramatic.

We were taken straight to our villa in a golf cart and were checked in there. Lovely two-bedroom villa surrounded by a verandah, completely sheathed in mosquito netting. Furnishings are a bit Four Seasons generic but fine. We travelled with our two boys (3 and 6) and our nanny and were very comfortable. View across the 18th fairway to the sea and St Kitts. Tropical greenery and flowers everywhere. Plunge pool. Room service great despite the distance to the main hotel. Each villa has its own golf cart which is great for getting around.

Spent most of our time on the beach and pools, swimming, hoby cats, kayaks etc. The breakwaters which they put in place to guard against hurricane surges also break up the sea view, but they attract more sea life so are good for snorkelling. Tennis club is great.
Kids for All Seasons is good, with a decent space in the hotel and a playground outside. The kids club staff could have been more animated.

The grounds and golf course are lush and pretty, with relics of old stone mills and the golf course rising dramatically up the forested slopes of the volcano behind the hotel. Monkeys gather on the golf course, to the delight of the kids. They also loved the crabs, geckos, donkey spiders (tarantulas) and the fire ants which bite fiendishly. This is the tropics.

Excursions are few on Nevis. We went to the Botanical Gardens and went for dinner at the Montpellier Plantation - VERY quiet.

Food at the hotel was OK and there's good variety, but nothing special. Mango restaurant on the beach at night is good, looking across the strait to the lights of St Kitts. Best was the lunch at the adults-only pool. Fresh and well-cooked. Always barbeque meat or fish and vegetables.Service is friendly if sometimes at island pace.

It's not Sandy Lane, but value is great when compared with other top Caribbean hotels. We liked it. Kids loved it. I'd happily recommend it and would gladly go again.

The Four Seasons Resort on Nevis offers a truly five star experience in almost all aspects of what is on offer. Fantastic, courteous and genuinely helpful staff; amazingly comfortable rooms and stunning public rooms make a stay here truly relaxing. Only one area let them down and that was housekeeping which was not consistent requiring a telephone call to rectify.

Other ways in which the experience could be even more amazing would be to supply plenty of free water for the rooms (mini bar price for water US$ 5.00 plus tax plus service), and a coffee shop for those wishing for a lighter meal in the evening.

An excellent resort but very expensive!

As good a beach resort as I have stayed in. We had poor service at Mango's and for the price of their food I expected better there, but the rest of the hotel and staff are wonderful. Coral Grill and Neve restaurants are good, but again for the money I expected as much or even better. The Library Bar is well taken care of by Mr. Morris, as pleasant a man as you will meet in Nevis. There are 3 very clean swimming pools with plenty of chairs and room for privacy. The beach cabanas can be rented for $500 per day you are bowled over with friendly and attentive service. If you need more privacy, just hang out the red flag and you are left alone. We had an Ocean view room, staff keeps your room perfect and you never notice them around. Complimentary washers and dryers for your beach clothes are handy. Golf course is great but 4 Seasons pricey. I do suggest going for a snorkel or dive trip on the South side of St. Kitts. Bananas restaurant down the road is wonderful as is dinner at Mountpelier Estate.
