“A Wonderful Honeymoon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2004

people found this review helpful

The Golden Lemon was the perfect island retreat for our honeymoon. We would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a place to get away from all the stress of everyday life and relax. We wanted to get away to a peaceful place to relax after the wedding and this was exactly what we were looking for. Our villa was just lovely and the view was breathtaking, not to mention the French doors that opened out allowing us to step down into our own private plunge pool. The food was absolutely amazing, as was the conversation and company every evening before dinner. The owners, Arthur and Martin were very gracious and hospitable, making sure every detail of our honeymoon was perfect. When we did feel like doing something, the driver, Solomon, showed us around the island. One particular outing, the catamaran trip to Nevis, should not be missed. It was an exciting day filled with swimming, snorkeling, sailing, and delicious food. The entire experience was all that we imagined, and more. We had a wonderful time and we did not want to leave. We would love to go back one day.

“All-Inclusive Charm”

We chose St. Kitts because it is not overly commercialized and we didn't care to be busy all the time. The Golden Lemon met all of our expectations with fabulous food, great service, and a villa with a beautiful view.

“Just returned from St Kitts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2004

people found this review helpful

The food at the Golden Lemon was outstanding! I couldn't eat enough. We enjoyed the before dinner drinks and conversations with the owners. Our villa was quaint with our own plunge pool and a view of the black sand beaches. The locals on the beach were friendly to us and we felt safe on the beach. We spent most of our time relaxing and enjoying the laid back life of the Caribbean. The Golden Lemon's driver took us to town and showed us the entire island which was quite enjoyable. The cattamaran trip to Nevis should not be missed. We had a wonderful time and would be willing to return!

“Big issues”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 June 2004

Just returned - this place needs a lot of work. We had mice running across the bar in the restaurant area, rats on our villa's veranda and an indifferent staff. While the owners are cordial, it's obvious they quit investing in this property some time ago. Sorry, but I cannot recommend it.

“The Golden Lemon turned into a Sour Lemon”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2004
17
people found this review helpful

From the Inn which is in dire need of a facelift to the beach where the locals train their pitbull dogs to fight, our stay was a disappointment. To make matters worse, during our second night at the Inn an intruder came through our 2nd floor bedroom window. As we slept, he attempted to rob us. Upon awakening with him at the foot of the bed, I chased him out of the room screaming for help. The management was quite ambivalent regarding the incident even when they found that their security guard was off the compound, sleeping on the beach. We have never experienced anything like this in all of our many trips to the Caribbean and it reminded us to always consider security as a part of our travel plans.
