Montpelier Plantation & Beach

We first went to Montpelier on our honeymoon in 1987. It has a special place in our hearts, and we go back whenever we can. I can't imagine the logistical issues involved delivering what Montpelier does; it's a small miracle. The staff are exceptional and I could talk about the rooms or the pool, the views or the restaurant, the beach or the gardens - that's not really the point. It's just a lovely authentic experience.

This a wordy review but the information can be helpful for your stay. I couldn’t find a way to review the restaurants separately, so I included them here. We arrived in Nevis at Long Point ferry dock with our Jeep on the IConnect ferry from St. Kitts. We were there for a three-night stay. Montpelier was close to the dock, which was convenient. Signs directed us to the car park, and it was not hard to find our way to check-in. The staff greeted us warmly and we had lunch at Indigo by the pool while waiting for our room to be ready. Kaddy behind the bar was lovely, and our lunch of Tuna Tataki, Sticky Corn Ribs, and the Blackened Fish Tacos was the best meal we had while we were there. The property and grounds are absolutely gorgeous and well cared for. We had room 16, which had the most spectacular views at sunset! The bed was comfortable, but even though there were six pillows, they were all so squishy we had to use the decorative pillows under our heads as well to get any support at all. My advice would be to ask for different pillows. The bathroom was adequate, but could use updating for sure, and we appreciated the magnifying mirror on the wall (we have the exact same one at home). There was only one outlet with 120v and it was on the desk area, so an adapter would be helpful if you are from the US. The lamps are small, so the room was pretty dark at night. The internet is also very spotty and there is no TV. We were there in February, so it got dark at 6pm, so we opted to get a VPN to be able to watch streaming to watch something to pass the time at night. We liked the pitcher of ice water that they filled every day, as ice and water seeking seemed to be the bane of our existence on our whole trip. There is no way to get ice except to ask the bartender for a bucket, which we did every night, sometimes more than once. Maid service is twice daily. If you do not notify a staff member, they will call you by 10am to see if you are eating breakfast (included, and good, but we only had once), or if you are dining in their restaurant that night. We had a few calls because apparently, we didn’t know we had to tell the staff of our plans every day. Let me explain the beach situation: They do have a private beach, which is nice, but we were on our own to find it because we had our own car and didn’t take the transport they offer at 10:30am. I guess I should have asked the staff more details of how to get there. We floundered around for 30 minutes to realize you turn left into the Yachtsman Grill and turn left onto a dirt road that then leads you to an open gate with a tiny sign that says Montpelier. Once there, you park anywhere, and there are some chairs, shelters, and a bar with a guy that was surely so bored. He makes drinks with a cooler of ice that were welcomed. We went twice and were the only people there both times. The beach is small, but exploring the rocky area to the left was very cool. It was too windy while we were there to snor

We stayed for 5 nights at this lovely hotel. All of the staff are handpicked and all long- serving - the lovely owner Muffin is very warm and loves to have an unhurried chat! Rooms are beautiful and the private beach is to die for! When I say ‘private’ I mean there could be you and one other couple with a fully stocked bar and barman/Mixologist all to yourself! Heaven! I will warn you to have just one glass of Kaddy’s rum punch on arrival - I had two and had to sleep it off for the rest of the day! The Mill Privee is very special and the food there was delicious! Very elegant all round without a hint of pretentiousness, the wonderful manager is very hands on and present.

We prefer small islands and boutique accommodation Montpellier lived up to all expectations Friendly and efficient staff Comfortable accommodation with sea views Beautiful secluded private Beach Good Food Excellent wine list and great cocktails served by Kaddy and Akim We will definitely return next year

A special Nevisian hotel Wonderful stay in a beautiful hotel with extensive well cared for grounds. The food was of a high cullinary standard and breakfast was included. Rum punch one of the best ever.

This property was such a wonderful surprise! It had beautiful grounds and the staff was incredibly attentive even anticipating our needs. Plus the food and drinks were top notch.
