Fodor's Review:
Perched at the northwest tip of St. Kitts, this serene, scintillating retreat was one of the Caribbean's first true luxury hideaways. Arthur Leaman, a former decorating editor for House and Garden, rescued a decaying, 17th-century French plantation house in the early 1960s; his style and panache enliven the entire property. Greathouse rooms (opt for Nos. 1 through 4 and 10) feature wrought-iron canopy or four-poster beds and funky touches like leopard-print rugs. One- and two-bedroom soaring, duplex townhouses (some with private plunge pools) are equally stylish, painted in luscious colors from pumpkin to blueberry, their eclectic yet harmonious blend of artworks and antiques culled from Arthur and partner Martin Kreiner's travels. Repeat guests cherish the serenity and sterling service; the only caveats are the remote location and rare reports of villagers harassing Americans. EP rates are available, but the location means the all-inclusive packages are the better value. Arthur and Martin had almost consummated a sale in 2006, but are expected to remain on property at least through 2007.
