This 392-room resort is a Marriott for certain, but it's on the higher end for the chain (certain aspects are on par with the Four Seasons Resort, and it's nicer than the Nisbet in Nevis). This is thanks mostly to grounds' very updated look: paint and masonry look fresh, and the spacious rooms have flat-screen TVs and plenty of natural light (though decor is generic). There are plenty of pools, which helps to thin out the hotel's boozy, sun-worshipping crowds.

Located a 10-minute drive from the airport and a short walk to the beach, the 215-room Royal St. Kitts Hotel is a four-pearl, family-run property that was recently renovated and now evokes the vibe of a modern beach house. Indoor and outdoor common areas have a chilled-out atmosphere, while apartment-style rooms come in studio and one- and two-bedroom configurations. All feature kitchens with stainless steel refrigerators, flat-screen TVs, desks, and balconies, and many have water or golf course views. The hotel also offers a modern fitness center, and an outdoor bar and pizza joint, as well as privately owned Indian and wood-fire pizza restaurants that attract plenty of St. Kitts locals. Travelers seeking an absolute beachfront location may want to try the Marriott's St. Kitts Beach Club across the road.

The two-and-a-half-pearl Timothy Beach Resort consists of a row of condominium town house-style buildings set at the end of Frigate Bay Beach, which leads to a long stretch of beachfront lined with bars and restaurant shacks. A short drive from the airport, Timothy Beach Resort is far from fancy, but it offers a budget-friendly beach break and is close to the St Kitts action. Some rooms have been renovated, but others are outdated and can have maintenance problems -- but they're all clean and spacious, with colorful island flavor, patios, views, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi. Condominium suites and two-bedroom town houses have full kitchens. The resort has an outdoor pool, an open-air restaurant, and a beachside bar. Travelers seeking a more modern hotel could consider Ocean Terrace Inn in Basseterre, though rates are more expensive.
