We just returned from a weeks stay at Nisbet and couldn't have been happier with the resort. We chose Nisbet because we wanted a quiet place without a crazy pool scene and lounge chairs stacked next to each other. It took a little getting used to the leisurely island pace, but after a few days we were able to just sit back and relax. We were a little concerned about not having a television, but once we were there we didn't miss it or our computer at all. The 3 hour island tour is a must, it is arranged through the front desk. We went into Charleston to do a little shopping and stayed at Nisbet the rest of the time because we didn't want to leave. The beach is very natural and there are rocks in some places, the seaweed is cleaned up and the beach raked every morning. It has not had heavy equipment hauling in tons of sand and dumped into the water for a perfect footing for tourists. It is a welcome change to visit a place that really feels like an island should. The people are very friendly, we felt very safe and the employees are willing to do anything to make your visit enjoyable. Water sports are nearby if that's your thing, but fortunately you do not need to worry about the noise from water craft at Nisbet. The dinners are fabulous! The desserts are beautiful and delicious. The small exercise room has enough equipment to get in a good workout, and there's a t.v! Our room was lovely, cleaned daily, clean towels brought in twice a day and ice delivered in the afternoon, but available any time. We are looking forward to another visit. This is the place to go if you really want to relax.

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.
