| Since island law states that no building can be higher than
the tallest palm tree, most hotels on St. Kitts tend to be small - and often intimate!
Here are a few suggestions: St. Kitts: Four Seasons (196 luxurious rooms with an 18-hole golf course) 469-1111 or 800-332-3442 Ocean Terrace Inn Fort Thomas (64 rooms overlooking the harbor) 465-2695 or 800-851-7818 Island Paradise Beach Village (35 one-bedroom, 19 two-bedroom, and four three-bedroom condominiums) 465-8035 or 800-828-2956 Jack Tar Village Royal St. Kitts (242 rooms, 18-hole golf course and casino) 465-8651 or 800-999-9182 Colony Timothy Beach (61 rooms and suites) 465-8597 or 800-777-1700 Rawlins Plantation (12 guesthouses spread across a 12-acre plantation) 465-6221 or 800-621-1270 White House (10 guestrooms in an 18th-century greathouse) 465-8162 or 800-223-1108

Nevis: Car rentals can be arranged through your hotel, but you will need a Nevis driver's license, available at the police station in Charlestown.
Taxi fares are fixed, but make sure you know whether the fare is quoted in EC (Eastern Caribbean) or US dollars. Also, the fares increase 50% between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. There is no set schedule for the bus system which runs between villages; taxis are much easier for transportation.
St. Kitts: Car rentals are convenient and include unlimited mileage. You will need to purchase a local driver's license at the fire station in Basseterre.
Most taxi drivers are also guides and are the best means by which to
get around the island. Before you get in the car it's important you discuss the fare
because the taxis are not metered. |
