Golden Lemon Inn & Villas 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 bohemian charm in this otherwise dilapidated shipping port. The resort's centerpiece is a much-restored, much-altered French colonial manor house with an 18th-century Georgian upper story, set within a coconut grove near a black volcanic-sand beach, on the otherwise isolated northwest coast of St. Kitts. Flanking the great house are the Lemon Court and Lemon Grove Condominiums, each painted a neon shade of lemon-gold, where you can rent luxuriously furnished suites surrounded by manicured gardens; most have private pools. The venue is a wee bit faded from its glory days when this kind of upscale-bohemian venue was a novelty in these parts. 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. The larger villas have sunken tubs, kitchens, and dishwashers. At press time, there was talk about the owner of this place transforming it into holiday condos renamed "Kittitian Hill."

Facilities:
Restaurant; horseback riding; outdoor pool; tennis court; catamarans; scuba diving; snorkeling; room service; rooms for those w/limited mobility

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
