"Hardworking Pam," as a local put it, is an outstanding host. We were greeted warmly and introduced to the grounds and our cottage. The cottage was comfortable and clean. The grounds and views are spectacular. The food and service were excellent.

My husband and I just got back from our honey moon which we spent on the island of Nevis at the Golden Rock Hotel (I guess they dropped the "plantation" name?) It was exactly what we were hoping for! It was secluded and quiet, with beautiful views and an incredibly romantic ambiance. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the owner Pam was pleasantly warm and accommodating. The new renovations to the kitchen and dining area look incredible, every spot is a new view! Every morning we enjoyed a cup of coffee on our private veranda watching the monkeys play in the trees, and every evening we ate like kings in the castle-like dining room. Between the excellent food, service and location, this hotel has all the amenities of a five star hotel without the pretentiousness, which is exactly why we will come back again!

My husband and I spent our honeymoon at Golden Rock in November of 2007. We stayed in the sugar mill and had an excellent time. I honestly cannot think of a better location to have your honeymoon!

The grounds were beautiful and Pam was always incredibly helpful. Also, the reviews about the lobster sandwich were completely accurate! I am a New England native and I'll even say it was superb. The only drawback is that it is a fairly long ride from the beach. Overall, a wonderful time.

The Golden Rock Plantation Inn is one of three or four sugar plantations converted into inns. The Golden Rock is the only one still operated by a descendent of the original owner.

First, a word about Nevis. St Kitts was laid back, but Nevis is definitely a lower gear! Put your brain in neutral and relax.

We stayed 3 nights on MAP (breakfast and dinner). Who needed lunch. (Ok, lunch was good too) Try the pancakes, wonderful. Dinner is a four course delight from which you won't move until you have finished the last morsel. Pam Berry, the innkeeper, is very nice and ate dinner with us most nights. Try her Rum Punch.

The rooms are cottages that are simply furnished but well-appointed. Each has a ceiling fan, there is no aircon, but the inn's location affords a steady breeze. Each cottage faces the Atlantic.

Grounds of the estate are beautiful with a variety of flowers and plants. While dinner is served inside the dining room, you can eat breakfast under a huge market umbrella, or on the gazebo, or under a tree.

There are two hiking trails leading from the estate. A short nature walk (30 minutes), and a hike to the "water source", a fresh water spring high on the mountain (4 hours- very strenuous).

There are fancier digs on Nevis- the Hermitage estate (where Princess Diana stayed according to our cabbie) and the Four Seasons. Even with the breeze, the Caribbean is humid so sleeping was a little warm. Otherwise, the breakfast was too big and the dinner too good. If you want action, forget Nevis.
