Fodor's Expert Review Mount Nevis Hotel & Beach Club

Mount Nevis's sublime open-air dining room by the pool offers a splendid view of St. Kitts. Before dinner, savor cocktails in the distinctive lounge, accented by sisal rugs, mosaic tiles, towering bamboo stalks, and a cool mostly blue color scheme. Chef Eric Vasson deftly blends local ingredients, many grown in the organic garden, with a cornucopia of Caribbean-Continental cuisines. Sterling starters on the ever-changing menu might include some preparation of poke; main courses include a variety of steak, lamb, and fish. Finish with tropical variations on classics such as coconut flan.
