Park Hyatt St. Kitts Christophe Harbour

One of if not the most stunning resorts I’ve ever been too. Best resort in St Kitts and Nevis - I stopped by to check out Four Seasons in Nevis, Park Hyatt is much better.

This is a great hotel. Beautiful place and the grounds are immaculate. Can’t say enough about the service as well. A couple of things created challenges. First, while the quality of the food was fantastic, and while we expect to pay higher prices at a) a resort and b) an island … expect to pay mandatory 30% for tax and service above already very high prices. Omakase dinner for two, with wine pairings … $637? Seems excessive. Or a water taxi that costs $23 online … the hotel charges its guests $60 and tells me “It for the convenience of being picked up at the hotel”? Taxis into the main part of town are also very expensive. $70 round trip into town, before spending similar amounts on dinner. Mind you, we were just a party of two. Would hate to see a bill for parents and 3 or 4 kids. Again, excellent, but very expensive experiences. I admit we weren’t expecting that level of expense, but if you are prepared for the expense of it all, it’s a wonderful place and some unforgettable experiences.

The location, hotel conditions, and customer service were all outstanding — truly top-notch in every way. Unfortunately, the extreme prices for food and beverages overshadowed the rest of the experience. While I expect to pay more at a high-end property, the pricing here felt excessive even by luxury standards, making it hard to fully enjoy the stay. If the dining costs were more reasonable, this would easily be a five-star review.

If you "must" travel to St Kitts which is not my recommendation for a host of reasons.... go the extra hassle and go to the Four Seasons on the neighboring island of Nevis. The Park Hyatt property is beautiful, but staff on many occasions was rude, dismissive and woefully under trained to provide 5 Star service. They charge an exorbitant amount of money for everything. They over promise and under deliver on every level. Average meal service was over two hours for each meal. The location is remote and to go to other restaurants averages 100.00 round trip and the food is typica l island food, very oily, not healthy, and served with that wonderful island attitude. Top management has a few impressive, properly trained managers, however the other staff is awful. One housekeeper came to clean our suite, was so angry, and rude, I asked her "check herself" before entering our suite. PLEASE FIND ANOTHER ISLAND. or better yet "go on a luxury cruise". Take my advise as a seasoned first class traveler and take a big PASS on this property.

Our stay at Park Hyatt St. Kitts was exceptional from start to finish. The resort has a small, intimate, boutique feel that makes it perfect for a quiet, relaxing getaway. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are spotless, and the views of Nevis are simply breathtaking. We found the beach to be stunning, with a unique mix of white sand and black volcanic sand, and great snorkelling right off the shore. The large pool was peaceful and never crowded, and the entire resort had a calm, uncrowded atmosphere that was ideal for unwinding. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and breakfast buffet was consistently very good and convenient. Overall, the food across the resort was good—though we felt the Caribbean buffet night fell short and was overpriced for what it was. We enjoyed walking over to Cockleshell Beach, just minutes away which has with lovely seashells, great snorkelling (but can get crowded by late morning). My kids also enjoyed the nearby shipwreck beach as well as the Koi fish tanks in the lobby. Only issue was the overpriced transfer to Nevis from the hotel. Do yourself a favour and walk over to Cockleshell Beach instead—it’s about a quarter of the price the hotel charges. If you’re looking for luxury, tranquility, and natural beauty, Park Hyatt St. Kitts delivers on all fronts. We’d return in a heartbeat.
