Sunset Reef St.Kitts

5/5

Brand new, luxury, 5-star resort in a great location on St Kitts To begin with, I should mention that we have stayed at premier luxury accommodations throughout the Caribbean, including ones on St Barth's, Anguilla, St Thomas, Turks & Caicos, and Curaçao; not to mention Mnemba Island, Punta Mita and the Hawaiian islands. When compared to those great destinations, Sunset Reef on St Kitts is in the very top few of the best of the best! Everything from the accommodations, to the service, to the dining experience, to the sunset views, were simply top-notch! More specifics/detail below: Location: centrally located to all the great beaches and attractions, but not too close to the cruise ship terminal. 10 minutes from the SKB airport. 15-20 minutes from Frigate Bay (Boozie’s on the Beach) and South Friar's (Carambola Beach Club and Shipwreck’s). 15 minutes from Serendipity (a must-eat). 30 minutes from the ferry to Nevis (go there to eat at Yachtsman Grill or spend the day on Pinney’s Beach - recommend lunch at the Kastawey at the Four Seasons and a Killer Bee at Sunrise’s). 30 minutes to Dieppe Beach (Arthur’s is a must-see/eat). Accommodations: what can one say about the exclusivity and intimacy of a 7-unit, all-suite resort, with open air dining, a beautiful infinite pool, and spectacular, unparalleled views of the sunset over the Caribbean Sea each and every day? It’s a scenic wonderland! The king-size beds are comfortable, and you are able to adjust your head and feet for a great night sleep. The rooms are spacious and have a nespresso coffee machine, refrigerator, microwave, electric cooktop and pots, pans, utensils, glasses, etc. We especially liked the filtered water at the sink, as pure, delicious, cold water was always available. No plastic bottles of water at this resort -- they care about the environment! Service: perhaps THE most-friendly and well-trained staff of any 5-star property at which we have stayed. No request is too small. No detail goes over-looked. In addition, the general manager and director of operations were ever-present throughout our stay, ensuring that no want or need was left unfulfilled. Basically, it was a "just ask and you shall receive" type of approach! Dining: the food is quite simply delicious! The appetizer, lunch, dinner, and cocktail menus are all well thought-out and offer a nice variety of fresh, high-quality selections. The executive chef is excellent, and the culinary staff is very talented, as well. The open-air dining area with outdoor grill and brick pizza oven creates a lovely dining atmosphere. In addition, with only seven suites and very limited traffic from off the resort, for many lunches and dinners we were the only table dining -- making it seem as if we had our own private chef and dining room! Concierge: resourceful, proactive, and well-connected. The concierge was eager and helpful in arranging taxis and ferry transfers on both St Kitts and Nevis, as well as making restaurant reservations on both islands. Also, offered to schedule/coordinate sailing trips and island tours, but we were more interested in relaxing, so didn’t avail ourselves of those itineraries.
