We had a fantastic time at Hummingbird Rest, which is located a 5-10 minute walk from the strip. The strip has approximately 10 beach bars offering a range of food from fresh lobster to curried goat. There is a supermarket close by and other restaurants, the Marriot is a 5 minute walk in the other direction. You can eat in the Marriot or there is a selection of nice restaurants adjacent to it.
The accomadation is well presented and comfortable. The aircon in the bedrooms are a welcome relief on those hot nights! The kitchen has a good selection of appliances, cutlery and utensils. The swimming pool is right outside approx 20 yards away. Whilst we stayed we had the pool to ourselves and it felt like our private pool! We enjoyed sitting on the veranda sipping cocktails with fantastic views of the Atlantic.
Barbara the owner was very friendly and welcoming meeting us on arrival and offered handy pieces of advice. She obviously cares a lot about her guests and could not do enough to help us enyoy our stay.We have already decided that we will be coming back!
St Kitts is in our hearts, everybody was so friendly. We hired a car with ABC cars and explored the island, taking in the port of Bassetere and Brimstone Hill. There were breathtaking views and clear blue skies this truly is a beautiful island.
I managed to fit in a round of golf at Royal ST Kitts which is a 10 minute walk from the condo to the club house, however some of the holes run parralel to the road outside Hummingbird Rest. The course is a good test of golf with views of the Caribbean Sea on the front nine and the Atlantic on the back nine. It was in excellent condition with the St Kitts open being held there the previous week.
If a relaxing holiday takes your fancy then we could not recommend a stay here any higher. The best part is there are plenty of options if you wish to blow off a bit of steam too. Rum punch and cocktails are all a short walk away!
