Frommer's Review
The sprawling resort evokes the Mediterranean with its tile roofs and lush landscaping. In the center is a replica of Columbus's Santa Maria, complete with waterfalls. The location, with its adjacent Royal Beach Casino, is near the narrowest part of St. Kitts, close to Atlantic-fronting beaches. Its 9 hectares (22 acres) include an 18-hole golf course designed by Canadian-born Tom McBroom and one of the largest casinos in the Caribbean Basin. Architectural surprises include a ceiling in the casino that reflects the heavens, the stars, and meteors in electronic patterns.
The decor is self-tabbed as "Euro-Caribbean," with vague references to the Italian Renaissance within its pastel-colored compound of artfully landscaped buildings. Most of the tasteful, comfortable, and elegant accommodations are within a five-story central core. Bubbling Jacuzzis, a lagoon-shaped pool, sprawling gardens, deluxe bathrooms, and a bevy of restaurants and bars ensure you'll never have to leave the grounds.
