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.

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 Some rooms have been renovated, but others are outdated and can have maintenance problems -- but they're all clean and spacious, with colorful island flavor, patios, views, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and free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.

Located right on a pretty beach in northern Nevis, this upscale property is a great spot for a romantic getaway. Its 36 airy, cottage-style rooms offer lots of privacy, and are tastefully decorated in green and brown hues. They have wonderful in-room amenities, including custom-stocked minibars, but overall they don't quite deliver the level of luxury expected at this hefty price tag. Service is attentive, and unexpected extras such as hiker GPS systems, Flip video cameras, and tennis and croquet equipment -- all available free of charge -- demonstrate the Nisbet's attention to detail. The varied dining options, the pleasant pool and the beautiful setting on the beach are all highlights. However, it's worth comparing prices with the Four Seasons Resort Nevis.

The eco-friendly, three-pearl Oualie Beach Resort has a laid-back island vibe. Its 32 guest rooms set in gingerbread cottages stretch along green grounds and sandy beachfront. It’s a short drive to the airport and the Nevis ferry from here, and there are several popular restaurants nearby, plus water taxis can be arranged from the hotel's dock. There’s an open-air restaurant and bar on-site, and the hotel also offers a small spa, water sports, and diving (just next door) -- but there's no pool. Homey, British Colonial-inspired rooms all have mosquito-netted patios and sea views, though they're a bit dated. Overall, it's a simple, tranquil property perfect for travelers seeking affordable downtime in an island location. Those craving a pool could try the nearby Mount Nevis Hotel, though rates are higher.

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.
