While working in the travel industry I inspected many hotels - and I was lucky enough to travel to St Kitts and Nevis back in the 1980's before this destination was packaged by many wholesalers. We were fortunate to get St Kitts packaged by many tour operators out of Detroit, Chicago, etc etc.

I stayed at the Bird Rock Beach Resort the first week it had opened and I was very pleased. ( *Please note I had to list a current year that I visited here when it was actually many years ago )
I found this hotel to be very tranquil and that is something that you don't always find with all the larger resorts popping up all the time. I was very pleased to be at a place where I could truly find rest and relaxation along with a wonderful swimming pool facing out to one of the most spectacular views I had ever seen - the views of Nevis could not be beat!
This hotel is smaller, clean and quite comfortable and I recommend it highly!

Stayed for 7 nights at the Bird Rock in early December. This was our third visit. The location is great -close to town and the main island road, yet remains quiet. The grounds are beautiful with lush flowers. During our stay buildings were being repainted and the wooden wall along the drop to the beach was being replaced. Our room had also been repainted with new curtains and small appliances in the kitchen. Not coincidently this was the same room we stayed in our last visit. Liz at the front desk remembered our names and that we needed a first floor room - after 2 years!

Everyone was very friendly and helpful! We will stay here again.

We cruised to this area over Christmas and wanted to take the day in St. Kitts to dive. Knowing that the cruise ships overcharge and overcrowd their dives, we checked independently of cruise excursions and found Dive St. Kitts. I corresponded with Wendy - an absolutely delightful lady - who gave me all of the information we needed and was kind enough to arrange everything from transfers to a place for my sister (who does not dive) to accompany us. We got there and could not be happier. The location of the dive shop (in the hotel) was beautiful - a quiet little gem of an area. Also, we had great instructors who told us what we would see on each dive. Both dives were fantastic. Captain Crabby was awesome, and our dive instructors were top notch. We also got to hang out at the hotel/bar in between dives and rehydrate since the dive sites were so close to the hotel. I would definitely dive with Wendy and her crew again. It was wonderful!!

I am writing this from our studio room with the most incredible view here at Bird Rock Beach. This is our first visit to the Caribbean in the fall and we are very surprised how few tourists there are. Actually, I believe we are the only ones here at the hotel. The weather has been fantastic!!

Upon our arrival, I was disappointed in the conditions of the hotel and our room. There were a few minor maintenance issues that were handled for us. The hotel could definitely use a fresh coat of paint everywhere. The grounds are very lush and tropical, so that does make up for a lot. Then we met Ken (Captain Crabby) who heads up the dive operations and he gave us a tour of how Hurricane Earl really did a lot of damage to the property and completely took out the beach. Hopefully by the high season, the hotel, Rocky's Bar, and the beach will be back to normal.

After the first night in a very comfortable bed and waking to a beautiful view from the balcony, I was much more acclimated to the hotel. The staff is friendly and are more than willing to do anything to make you feel welcome.

My husband did four days of diving and a night dive with Captain Crabby, Neil and Elvis (the Divemasters) and had a very good time and some terrific diving which was very much up to the Caribbean standards of marine life and visibility.

We have a rental car for the week and have been touring all over the island and aim to get to every beach. The beaches were deserted and lovely - all were different. Everywhere we went, the people were friendly and smiling. We have also been surprised that the cost for groceries and eating out has been reasonable. The divemasters have given us some terrific local restaurant recommendations. The Ackee Cafe for Friday night Jerk Night was the best meal so far.

We still have more sightseeing to do and are looking forward to a day trip to Nevis. We went to the Marriott last night to look around and it was more like walking into a Vegas mega hotel. The pool was lovely, but their beach huts were just hideous. There was not much there that had the friendly local cultural touch like the Bird Rock Hotel.

If we return to St. Kitts some day, I can't imagine we would stay anywhere else. If you plan to come here soon, hopefully, everything will be back to normal from the hurricane damage. We were able to book this room at a very low price from Travelocity and I feel we really picked up on a bargain. We always look for a place with kitchen facilities so we can have lunch and grab cold beverages whenever we want. The Bird Rock met all of our requirements for a good stay - great location, wonderful staff, kitchen, nice pool. Dive Shop and a very comfortable bed. Another great plus is the WI-FI!!
