Marriott's St. Kitts Beach Club

This hotel has a beautiful beach and his situated with walking distance and short driving distance to many restaurants. The rooms were spacious and extremely clean the people friendly in the food delicious. The hotel itself is on the older side however, the staff is super efficient and friendly and it is a great value.

My Fiance and I stayed here right after we got engaged. We had a wonderful time relaxing on the beach. The staff was so friendly, and the resort was very tidy. Just a heads up, the food options in the resort are a little bit limited at lunchtime. There are more restaurants open for dinner though! If we return to Saint Kitts, we would definitely stay there again.

Imagine our shock when we saw hundreds of cruise ship passengers pouring in on shuttles, taking over the hotel’s pool and beach facilities! You’d think Marriott would prioritize the experience of paying hotel guests and timeshare owners, but instead, it felt like they were running a day pass business at our expense. Avoid this property unless you want to spend your vacation in a zoo of cruise ship day-trippers who swarm every inch of the resort from 10 AM to 4 PM—easily identified by their yellow wristbands and lanyards—before retreating to their ships for dinner.

We visited St. Kitts for a week in early March. St. Kitts is wonderful, clean, and the people are the friendliest islanders ever, will return. PROS: This Marriott is huge, lots of food options, we tried them all and never had a bad meal. All the servers were extremely friendly, service is slow, but we were on island time so it was OK with us but we met a lot of folks who were unhappy. The grounds were always spotless. The beach is very large, waves are awesome and there is a break wall to help with the breaking waves. Lots of chairs and cabanas on the beach, free for guests, but get there before the cruise ship day pass folks get there. The pools are big, very clean, we never had a problem getting seats. Hot tub is nice also. Across the street is a small grocery store and pharmacy, and there is also some shopping on the resort. Bottom line is we loved it here and will return. CONS: we didn't realize when we booked our Ocean view room that there were so many buildings on the property, we thought we would be in the main hotel. We are seniors and my husband is recovering from 2 ankle surgeries and struggles to walk distances, and our room was the farthest away from the main hotel, AND the worst part was when we got to the building, we had to walk up 3 flights of stairs. I think that somehow folks should be asked if walking such a long distance, then up 3 flights of stairs is doable. We were never able to go get a good cup of coffee or breakfast in the morning because we didn't want to walk the distance and climb the stairs more than we needed to. We have been Marriott members forever and did ask for a change but were told there wasn't another ocean view room available, which i find hard to believe because the resort was not busy. Housekeeping: we understand that they only Tidy Up the room every day, make the bed, empty trash, but this was lacking --one day the women cleaning was waiting for us at the bottom of the stairs at about 5 o'clock and asked us if we wanted our room tidied? that was awkward because we were on our way up the stairs. Every day we didn't have the supplies to make a cup of coffee, we would ask for more coffee, we would get coffee but no sugar or creamers, ugh..again it was a far walk for us to get the good stuff. We left notes, told the front desk. Bathroom-- my only complaint is that the jetted tub was so tall, i had a very hard time climbing over the tub to take a shower, and the shower was slippery, my husband called it a death trap. Issues another senior may have. AC in the room- just awful.. the hall outside our room was wonderful but the AC in the room was always at 72/73--and the get this temp we had to have the blower on high which was like sleeping next to a jet engine. We will definitely visit St. Kitts again, and we will stay at this resort because we know now what's up with the rooms.

Rooms are nice and spacious. No elevators in the vacation club condos. Nice view on the 2nd floor. They have a good amount of activities and amenities. Heard the spa was nice. The fire pits are nice at night. Pool bar is mediocre and overpriced. They have servers that come around but they are not really hustling hard to get business, if you want something just swim up to the bar. I like that the rooms are close to beach entry. I also like the fact that they shuttle people to other beaches like South friars beach/shipwreck and frigate Bay due to the large quantities of seaweed that are on the beach. A cab ride will run you $7 a person. Ask for Craig for deals and hook ups to spots around the island. They have a market open every day from 11-4 and they have reasonable prices and are willing to deal.

This is our 18th year coming to this resort and it is always incredible. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Management takes incredible care of the property. The activities team keeps updating all of the events and keeping it fresh. Highly recommended
