The upper-middle-range Ocean Terrace Inn is perched high on a breezy Basseterre hilltop, offering panoramic views of the sea. The hotel provides free shuttle service to the beach, a 10-minute drive away, and the town is a few minutes' walk. The terraced, hilly location also mean lots of stairs as there's no elevators, which might pose a challenge for some travelers. A lagoon-style pool snaking through the grounds is the hotel's centerpiece. It also has two bars and two restaurants -- one on the pier and another with a terrace -- and a fitness center. The 50 air-conditioned rooms, with furnished patios or balconies, are spacious and airy. They include large bathrooms in marble and granite, and walk-in closets. Travelers seeking a hotel right on the beach could consider the St. Kitts Marriott Resort, but rates will be higher.
