With
24 rooms overall, the plantation's acclaimed plantation Great House and Caribbean cottage
rooms, as well as the most luxurious St. Kitts villa, the Grand Villa, are decorated in English colonial style with wicker and carved mahogany
furniture, cheerful floral chintzes and a collection of local artwork and crafts. Considered by guests and critics alike among the best Caribbean accommodations available today at intimate Caribbean inns. And for those seeking a Caribbean villa of extraordinary character, the Grand Villa located right here at our intimate inn offers the best of both worlds--the privacy and indpendence of a fully, luxuriously furnished villa combined with the gourmet
cuisine and warm hospitality offered at a romantic inn. This is clearly the nicest place we have ever stayed. The views are spectacular, and the

My wife and I were in St. Kitts this past week (stayed at the Marriott) and asked for the best place to eat on the island. An employee strongly suggested Ottley's - In addition, a number of other employees had also recommended it along with some others. Anyhow, on Friday of last week, my wife and I came to join you for
dinner. In addition, to being impressed with the
beauty of the property, we were delighted with a fantastic meal. The crepe was to die for. We had a wonderful time and even had the opportunity to meet two of the family members. The next day we took a drive to see the island. On our way back to the resort, we stopped to see the property again (during the day) with another couple we took the drive with. It is even more beautiful than we had imagined. We again were greeted with fantastic service and also offered a
tour of some of the facility as well as a sneak peak to one of the
rooms. Thank you so much for being so polite and hospitable. You truly have a beautiful property and wonderful service. Much continued success,...John and Jeanna, Lake forest, Illinois
