Booking tips
Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.
Book 3-4 months ahead for the peak December to April season, particularly for luxury properties - Four Seasons Nevis and Park Hyatt St. Kitts sell out well in advance for Christmas and New Year
Direct hotel booking often includes complimentary extras not available on OTA platforms - airport transfers, complimentary meals, or spa credits are commonly offered
Plantation inns on Nevis (Montpelier, Nisbet, Hermitage) include breakfast and sometimes dinner in room rates - factor this into cost comparisons with apparently cheaper alternatives
Self-catering cottages (Mango Bay Cottages, Pinney's Beach Cottages) offer excellent value for stays of 5+ nights, particularly for families or groups
Frigate Bay resort properties are closest to The Strip's nightlife - ideal for younger travellers but less quiet. Choose Nevis or the Southeast Peninsula for maximum peace
Alternative accommodations
Beyond traditional hotels, consider these options.
Guesthouses
Family-run guesthouses offer authentic local experiences and often include home-cooked meals. Great for cultural immersion.
Serviced apartments
Ideal for longer stays or families. Kitchen facilities help save money and provide flexibility.
Hostels
Budget-friendly option for solo travelers. Dorms and private rooms available with social common areas.
