Marriott's St. Kitts Beach Club

My Fiance and I stayed here right after we got engaged. We had a wonderful time relaxing on the beach. The staff was so friendly, and the resort was very tidy. Just a heads up, the food options in the resort are a little bit limited at lunchtime. There are more restaurants open for dinner though! If we return to Saint Kitts, we would definitely stay there again.

HI there, We were in St. Kitts enjoying beautiful weather and scenery and decided to try Mariott's St. Kitts resort New Year's Eve event. The ad looking very promising - cocktails, 2 drink tickets, tasty looking menu, live music, fireworks at midnight and DJ. So far so good. Unfortunately this is a case where the ad raised the expectations way too high and they just couldn't deliver. :-( Hits: Shrimp appetizer very nice - mild cajun seasoning - good sized shrimp. Prime Rib - very tasty, a bit overdone for my taste (prefer medium rare) but still very good Sweet Potato hash station - delicious! Some really nice additions too - bacon mix, salsa, etc. Went back twice. :-) Brochettes - they were OK (not a big hit) Not hot enough - woman at station having a real bad day, not patient enough to heat them up properly Fireworks - they put on a excellent show with a big flourish - well done! Sadly that was about it.... Misses - so many misses...: There were NO cocktails - it was fruit juice. Basically they lied on the ad. Dinner music - a long coma inducing Kenny G set - wish I had brought my bluetooth speaker for our table. Live music - one good female vocalist, the guy singing was BRUTAL.. trying to do MJ falsetto - wow, so bad. Stick to your one octave range please. Hors d'ouevres passed around - very average - cold what should be hot. Little flavor - disappointing Desert - plenty of sugary donuts and large messy jars of caramel, chocolate.... and the spoons were to short so you had to stick your hand into a gloppy mess... ugh. And one BIG MISS - the drinks - not sure who gave the instructions to overpour the alcohol and underpour the mixer... but G&T was 90%G.... same with whiskey, rum, vodka.... we ordered separate ONLY mixers to mix ourselves - otherwise undrinkable. DJ - too little too late - after the fireworks we were done with the place. To summarize - NOT WORTH IT - play pictionary and watch the countdown on TV with a your own drinks and friends. Live and learn!

We spent a week in an ocean side villa. The view was amazing. We enjoyed eating on the balcony until the mosquitos arrived. Fortunately, there is a drug store across the street and we were able to buy bug spray. My encounters with all of the staff were positive. We took advantage of the activities offered such as bingo, corn hole, and trivia. Everyone was friendly. We ate at some of the restaurants. The food was typical beach fare (burgers) with a Caribbean flare (conch fritters). We hired a taxi operator (Anthony B. Taxi Service) to give us an island tour. He gave us a history lesson of the island as we drove around He capped it off by taking us to a local restaurant (El Fredos) for a late lunch. The food was delicious. All in all it was a great week. I am looking forward to another visit to this hidden Caribbean gem.
