Oualie Beach Resort

It's a quiet, low-key place, with air-conditioned, nice large rooms. The restaurant is good, moderately priced, but nothing fancy. The staff is friendly and helpful. They organize transfers from St Kitts. The Island tour they booked was very nice. The place does not have a snack-bar and does not have a store where you can buy even an aspirin. The message therapist was absolutely wonderful. Nevis is nice and very quiet. Most of the reviews are accurate, but do not describe any shortcomings if you are used to larger, more fancy resorts.

The Oualie Beach Resort was the perfect place to relax and enjoy some rest and relaxation. Pros: *Cottages were nice and comfortable. * Nice screened in porch to allow for sitting outside in shade or at night *Cottage had a small refrigerator and small coffee pot * OnSite restaurant food was delicious and reasonably priced * Resort had activities available ( did not see anyone using them, however) * Water taxi available at resort dock (make advance reservations) * Staff was very friendly and helpful at arranging for taxi service, tour services and general information * Resort had live music on designated evenings * Taxi service available to go to other parts of the island * Electrical plugs same as USA (120 volt) Things to consider: * Resort was very quiet. Seemed like visitors went elsewhere all day. Not much going on there during day. * Bar on site, but no drink service to beach area * Not sure if this is the norm, but resort seemed to attract an older, retired crowd. Not a problem for us, but might be a deterrent if a younger couple or group were looking for a place with similar age groups. * Water was lovely, but beach was small and had as much grass as sand. Not a nice wide, white sandy beach. * Nowhere to purchase snacks/drinks besides the restaurant/bar. * Limited, repetitive menu at restaurant. * Chairs on screened porch, not comfortable for relaxing. All in all, we had a lovely stay, but we were looking for more to do by our second day. We ventured out to other areas on the island and were happy to come back to our cottage at the end of our day for quiet and rest.

We had a very enjoyable stay at this resort. It definitely over-delivers in almost every category (except the kitchen/food department) on its 3 star rating. Staff are very nice, knowledgable, helpful and friendly. Location is great, and the compound is clean, well equipped and nicely landscaped. It's not the "four seasons" down the road, and that's a good thing, as you experience an almost family-like environment (in a good way!), and the rooms are updated and spacious, clean, with all the basics one needs, incl. coffee maker, which means you can have your coffee IN the ocean less than a minute after making it. Special Kudos to the Bartender Terriane (sp??) for the best rum punch in Nevis, the Reception supervisor Sharine (sp?) for her support, and all the staff we interacted with during our stay. We also met the very nice owner John. Sunday afternoon BBQ with live Jazz by local residents is a very cool and relaxing treat, and something very special in St.Kitts/Nevis. I can definitely recommend this little resort for a relaxing and quiet retreat, and we plan be back one day. And if the restaurant food was just as good, even better.
