If I had to summarize my experience: the Park Hyatt St Kitts looks like a five star hotel, is priced like a five star hotel, has the amenities of a five star hotel, but doesn’t have the service level of a five star hotel. The accommodations were spacious and clean. We had two rooms that were connecting through a small corridor. One room with a king bed and the other with two queens. Each room had a balcony with an ocean view. The hotel has its own private pier which allows for easy access by boat to Nevis. We took a boat directly to the Four Seasons to have dinner one night and while it was very convenient, the price tag was around $200 roundtrip! Our kids loved spending time at the hotel’s kid’s club (Island Fort) while we relaxed by the pool or went to the hotel gym, stocked with treadmills, bikes, machines and free weights. The hotel wasn’t without some flaws, however. The food options are quite lacking and get a bit tiring after a few days. I recommend going off property a few times. There are a couple of nice restaurants close by (Spice Mill, Reggae Beach Bar). We did do the afternoon tea experience one day at the hotel and that was lovely with the kids with a wide assortment of sandwiches and pastries. But there are only two restaurants on property and one of the two was sometimes closed for dinner. Service was slow. I’m not sure if this was due to it being off season or not. But don’t expect your pool chairs to be set up for you. Don’t expect to have the towel station be manned. More of a do it yourself situation more than anything else. Our food orders often came long after we put our orders in. We enjoyed our stay but it wasn’t without its problems.
