I loved Nisbet Plantation, I truly believe it is the best property on the island. When we were there for our honeymoon it was a bit windy, but apparently, if there is no wind at Nisbet the rest of Nevis is scorching. The staff is so friendly, but not over the top. And the FOOD - the best food in the Carribean. I would definitely opt-in to the breakfast/tea/dinner plan, it was well worth the money. Dinner is first class, while I was there, I had venison, lobster, lamb, those are the highlights. Also, their rum party on Thursday is a lot of fun, they serve a lot of different kinds of fish - and it is how you would expect fish to be cooked in the islands. Very fresh. Only drawback is that Nisbet is located quite a ways from the Main Town. I am going to write a separate review of the places we went on Nevis if you are interested in that as well.

We chose Nisbet because we had read how great the staff is and the people on Nevis in general. Sounded like a great place.

IT LIVES UP TO IT'S REPUTATION!!!

We had a very very relaxing vacation. The staff is kind, helpful and very welcoming. They also work very hard, long hours.

The beach is windy, but very pleasant. It's also very beautiful. We brought water shoes and so we could easily walk on the bit of rocky area in the water. The beach is sandy and easy to walk on.

The food is great--tea and dinner are standouts.

There are no bugs here. We were worried about being in a cottage on ground level. It's too breezy for mosquitoes. There were a few tiny red ants, but they seemed to be looking for water in the bathroom.

We stayed in a superior cottage(least expensive). They are very nice--the only ones with a screened-in porch.

The maid service is wonderful. They provided clean towels twice a day, and straightened up the room twice a day.

The other guests were over fifty, honeymooners, and families with children, or teenage girls.

We went on a snorkeling trip with Barbara and Andre at Oualie Beach. I would recommend this activity.

We are planning to return to Nevis.

My husband and I just got married and he surprised me with a trip to Nisbet Plantation in Nevis. We were both pleaseantly surprised with this resort.
One of the things we loved the most was how peaceful and relaxing it is. After months of hectic planning this was the perfect getaway to unwind. It is very windy but the sound of the breeze and the ocean definitely makes it worth it. Lying by the pool in the sun with the warm breeze was one of our favorite things to do.
The staff is very friendly and go out of their way to accomodate you.
We didn't want a noisy place with a million people around us so Nisbet was the perfect spot. I really appreciated the afternoon tea they offered. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The massages were so relaxing that I even fell asleep..
Overall, I would recommend this resort to anyone who doesn't like cookie-cutter vacations with a million things you feel like you have to do. Rather, it is the perfect honeymoon spot to simply relax and spend time with your spouse.

We found Nisbet to be perfectly "nice", but given the hype on this website and the tripadvisor ranking of best luxury resort in the entire carribean, we were let down. The grounds are peaceful and the vistas are grand, but the resort has a little bit of a parched campground feel--not a luxe resort feel. For example--the snorkeling gear for guest use is tired and the tennis rackets to borrow were handed to us with broken strings and "dead" balls that looked a few years old. The food was decent, but very predictable--meals felt catered. The spa is quiet and nicely appointed, but the massage was mediocre. The staff are nice, but not unusually so for such an expensive accomodation. I know this is silly, but even the resort signage isn't quite "there"-- it's moulded plastic that's meant to look like carved and painted wood and the whites are going a bit gray. Clearly a lot of people return year after year--we heard many hearty welcomes to returning families. I must say I can't see going back again and again. You'll probably enjoy your stay more if you don't fall in love before you meet your date.
