Lodging St.Kitts, Nevis, Guadelupe, Dominca
 

My two children (age 16,22) and I are plannint a trip in August to St.Kitts/Nevis and then Dominca and Guadelupe. We plan to boat between Dominica and Guadelupe--is that easy, are the boats frequent?

I need to know about lodging in all those places. I prefer a bungalow rather than a hotel because life will be cheaper if we can cook. We need either 2 bedrooms or 1 beroom plust fold-out couch in living room. Of course, we'd like to be near a beach and not too far from town. If I can't find a bungalow, I'll settle for a bed and breakfast. I'm planning to rent a car in Guadelupe.

Thank you, thank you, for an helpful tips.

In St. Kitts I recommend the Timothy Beach Resort. Island Paradise has self-contained condos or The Angelus.

In Nevis there is a beautiful villa call Moon Hill. www.villacaribbean.com

Thanks, Liz. I really appreciate your help.

If you had 6 days for St.Kitts/Nevis, how would you alot the time? My kids would enjoy outdoor activities. I would enjoy resort/beach/town.

On Nevis you might want to check out the Hurrican Cove bungalows/villas, which overlook the Oualie Beach. The views from there are outstanding.

When I visited Nevis last fall my husband and I stayed at Mt. Nevis Hotel. Their highest category room (can't remember exact name) is a large suite with an open plan bedroom and living room with a pull-out sofa, two balconies, large windows to let in the view of St. Kitts across the channel, and a full kitchen with full size, modern appliances. With the open plan there wouldn't be any privacy for sleeping arrangements, but it was a really nice room that felt open and spacious. Newcastle Beach, where Nisbet Plantation is located, is just a five minute drive away. We found our package at Luxury Link for 5 nights and it was an amazing bargain.

Sounds like you've got an unforgettable trip planned--hope it's everything you're looking for. I'm trying to talk my husband into a vacation on Dominica, as it looks simply gorgeous and lowkey.
