Such a beautiful, friendly and relaxing place. Beautiful gardens and amazing view over the ocean. The staff are wonderful. Great new head chef and fantastic food. Big rooms with great décor.
Ottley's Plantation Inn left us feeling we'd seen an authentic restored plantation, unlike so many other places that call themselves plantations on St. Kitts & Nevis. We had stayed at four different properties during our tour of St. Kitts & Nevis and viewed several others, so we had plenty to compare. We stayed in a deluxe room on the top floor of the great house and could not have asked for anything more. Beautiful views down over the lawn to the Atlantic ocean in the distance in one direction, and overlooking the garden at the edge of the rainforest in the other direction. Lovely restaurant and pool, attentive hosts and staff. Probably the only downside was its remote location (transportation adds up if you want to get around to other restaurants, beach and sightseeing), but that was also an important part of its charm and what made it so special. Highly recommended.
From start to finish this was an exquisite vacation. The grounds are gorgeous - lush foliage and green lawns - along with unique sounds from the wildlife. The owners and staff far exceeded our expectations - they were friendly and beyond helpful. Anything we needed (including tours, reviews, and suggestions) was immediately provided. My husband remarked that "this must be what heaven is like." We are well-traveled and rarely visit the same place twice (there is so much to see in the world) but we are planning a return visit to Ottley's.

Charming old inn
Very attractive setting high above the Atlantic. Grounds and buildings quite lovely. Staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. Dining is quite good. Would have given a higher rating except that some renovation is needed, particularly our bathroom which needs a complete redesign and redo.
Room was spacious and nice. Very restful - which is what we needed. Staff was great. They were very helpful to arrange activities that were outstanding. Restaurant was a great setting with a nice view of the Atlantic. Food was very good, and they even allowed us to order off the menu when we wanted something a little lighter for dinner. Service in the restaurant was great, and we enjoyed getting to know the staff there. The rain forest was a nice - about a 30 minute walk around the loop trail. There wasn't a TV in the room, but we found we didn't need one anyway. It allowed for more reading and resting. This was the perfect place for us, and we enjoyed our 5 days there.
Everything which other reviewers have said about the quality of the site, the rooms, the food and the staff is quite correct, so I won't repeat it. For many guests, Ottley's is just a place to relax, and you can certainly do that. However, it is also a superb base from which to explore the eastern side of St Kitts. A farm track on the north side of the property leads quickly up into the foothills of Mt Verchilds, where it meets the 18th century route from Philips across the island to Old Road Town. We went up to the col, but there the overgrown vegetation made further progress impossible. Nevertheless, there are all sorts of tracks which allow an excellent day's walking - and then there's a gourmet dinner to come back to at Ottley's. Host Marty gave us a great deal of useful advice about other walks, such as along the coastline in both direction from Keys, and across the island from Cayon to Basseterre (a very easy route, which can be made more interesting by looping around Monkey Hill). He has put in steps down to Grange Bay, which is a pleasant half-day ramble from the hotel, and lent us his OS map, which is out of print but gives far more detail than the tourist map.
I must also mention the swimming pool, which is built in to an old plantation building. This is permanently open, so allows a pre-breakfast as well as an afternoon or evening swim, which not many places do. It is spring-fed, so the water is clear, unchlorinated and quite cold.

Honeymoon
This was the first week of our honeymoon - the welcome and staff were generally outstanding. We would happily go back. The room was spacious with jacuzzi bath and plunge pool - excellent. Breakfast was really good with lovely views. We didn't realise before we booked that they had a free shuttle at 11am to go in to town/some of the beaches (you can also get it back at about 4pm) - this was really worthwhile and a good addition. Restaurant has lovely food - lobster was brilliant. Owners are very attentive and clearly care about people who stay there and the Plantation in general.
Ottley Plantation is about a 20 min tough ride to town. If you intend to spend most of your time on the property or are planning to rent a car this property is ideal. The old plantation is original in most respects and the many gardens are spectacular. Rooms are large and fit the period. Meals are excellent but pricey. Taxi ride to town will run about $25 american dollars one way.
St. Kitts is a beautiful country,very hilly with spectacular views. Many of the beaches are pretty but small and a 30 min from the plantation.The country is only 68 sq miles with a population of around 32,000. The residents were very friendly. I was on the island for a week and experienced many positive interactions with the residents.
So relaxing. Huge room in the main house, very attractively decorated. Beautiful pool and restaurant built around the walls from the old plantation works. The view from the main restaurant was stunning, one of the best of the 15 or so places we've stayed in the Caribbean. Hands-on run by the owners, always a good thing.
This is a little slice of paradise to relax in. The rooms are spacious and everyone is so friendly. There is a free shuttle bus to the beach and town but is just as good hanging out by the pool. Is a must if you are heading to St Kitts !!!
Het "hotel" heeft een hoofdgebouw (de vroegere woning van de planter) en een aantal bijgebouwen. Het is geheel in de stijl van de vroeger plantage gebleven. Dat maakt het heel authentiek. De kamers in het hoofdgebouw hebben dezelfde sfeer. Alles is heel koloniaal ingericht. Soms iets te. Geen glas voor de ramen maar shutters. Heel leuk alleen de airconditioning moet er wel tegen kunnen. Dat laatste lukt wel maar met een enorm geluid. Maakt slapen een keuze tussen koel met de airco of enigszins op temperatuur met de ventilator tegen het plafond. De kwaliteit van de kamer is ruim en goed maar niet overdreven luxe.
Omdat je ver van alles bent is het restaurant ter plaatse van belang. Het is goed. Jammer dat linguini bij hen gewoon spaghetti wordt. Voor de prijzen die worden gerekend mag je handwerk verwachten en dan is linguini toch niet al te moeilijk. Bediening is fantastisch. Je wordt persoonlijk aangesproken.
Zoals gezegd een stukje eiland voor jezelf. Door de fantastische omgeving en een heel persoonlijke benadering van de staf krijg je wel een heel speciaal gevoel bij dit hotel/deze Inn.
Amazing views, spectacular rooms, extremely friendly staff, we felt as though we were staying at a friend's house instead of a Hotel. Daily courtesy shuttles were such a nice bonus. The food was delicious and the menu changed daily. We were so happy that we chose Ottley's Plantation.
Lovely hotel. For the most part the staff was extremely friendly and courteous. The food was very good, although a bit expensive. Our chief concern is that management does not appear to be attending to a number of items that require maintenance (broken shower door, broken tub faucet, light in plunge pool does not work, bathroom door needs repair, etc.). We heard other guests commenting on "deferred maintenance" as well. In the long run this could become a real problem for this hotel. We would definitely return to Ottley, but with the hope that maintenance has improved.
Reason for my stay was to witness a wedding being held at the Plantation. It was a fabulous setting. Staff were welcoming. Everything went smoothly on the big day. The hotel was very relaxing.
The hotel is beautiful and staff was excellent BUT not a place to visit with children. The food was delicious at the restaurant but it is extremely expensive. With one bottle of wine for three and just the main meal it was $240.00. That is crazy expensive and not worth it a bit. The pool was not heated enough to make it a pleasant swim and with our 17 year old with us we felt awkward and out of place. Thank goodness we rented a car and it took us a half hour to forty five minutes to get to beaches and activity. I would recommend a day visit to see the plantation as it is beautiful but would never stay there again.
Ottley's is very beautiful and the staff is very friendly. The property manager knows every guest and is always at dinner and breakfast to find out how your day was and if you need any help getting around. The food is phenomenal! It is far away from everything which is the one down side. They have trails going through the rainforest so there is lots of exploring to do. The cottages feel like you are walking in to the 1700's but the beds are very comfortable and the rooms are very clean!! If you don't like being surrounded by crowds of people like you are at resorts this is definitely the place to be!! We loved staying here and next time we come back we will be staying here again!
The setting was like paradise. The views from the room of the ocean, the cottages and the mountains were picture perfect. I had a massage in the adorable little spa that overlooked the rainforest. the spa music system was broken but we didn;t need it - the chirping of the birds was magical. I took a business call on the side porch of my room and watched the monkeys playing under the trees.
The staff was incredibly helpful from the shuttle drivers, their designated cab driver, the owners, managers, etc. We felt like we were truly pampered.
Ottleys is a wonderful place to stay tucked away in the countryside. The service is top notch and the hotel grounds are pristine. Dinner at the Royal Palm restaurant on the property was consistently the best on the island. Ottleys is a little off the beaten path and travelers will need a car to get to the beaches. They do provide a complimentary shuttle but having your own transportation will make your duty on St Kitts more enjoyable. Overall, Ottleys was a great place to stay doth real old world charm.
