Up until a couple of years ago, St. Kitts and Nevis were the kind of islands that travelers delighted in sensing. Relatively untouched by modern times, they appeared like the old Caribbean; small, romantic hotels, pristine shorelines, uncluttered roads, with acres of cane areas and rainforests dominating the panorama. But now two large chain hotels - the Marriott in St. Kitts and the Four Times in Nevis - have broadened the options. Along with the resorts attended three golf programs, a new cruise ship port area with duty-free shops and a marine park. But you still find ideas of the old laid-back islands here, especially in the wonderful plantation inns on both islands. These small hotels, built around historical structures and sugar mills, still have a colonial charm. They are furnished with Caribbean antiques and emphasize the old-fashioned requirements of warm, customized service. So that it can be done to sample both the charm of the old world and the actions of the new. This is a distinctively valuable guide to these islands, excerpted from our complete guide to the Leeward Islands, with complete information on where to stay, where to eat and how to proceed when you are there. In the event that you stay on St. Kitts, make sure to permit at least one day to visit Nevis, which is just a short ferry trip or a 10-minute journey away. The primary dock city there, Charlestown, is a report in traditional preservation. Lots of the skirt-and-blouse structures, where in fact the first level is natural stone and the second is wood siding, are still standing and are now used for offices and stores. The stately old churches such as St. John's Anglican and the historic Cottle Cathedral reinforce the sense of record. In addition, the Nevis Botanical Gardens give a beautiful respite from the planet, where you can learn about the unique plants of the Caribbean and enjoy the wonder of carefully designed gardens.
