Golden Lemon Inn & Villas

Frommer's Review

Sophisticated and elegant describe both the Golden Lemon and its clientele. Arthur Leaman, one-time decorating editor of House & Garden magazine, used his taste and background to create a hotel of great charm in this once-busy shipping port. The 1610 French manor house with an 18th-century Georgian upper story is set back from a coconut grove and a black volcanic-sand beach, on the northwest coast of St. Kitts. Flanking the great house are the Lemon Court and Lemon Grove Condominiums, where you can rent luxuriously furnished suites surrounded by manicured gardens; most have private pools.

The spacious rooms are furnished with antiques and always contain fresh flowers, but are not air-conditioned. Bedrooms have been redecorated with new fabrics, rugs, and accessories. Many beds are raised four-posters draped in mosquito netting in the old plantation style; each is equipped with fine linen. Most of the tiled bathrooms are huge; they contain deluxe toiletries, tub/shower combinations, and dressing areas. The larger villas even have sunken tubs, kitchens, and dishwashers. The Golden Lemon restaurant serves fine Continental and Caribbean cuisine.
