Oualie Beach Resort

We visited Oualie on a swim trip and could not have enjoyed it more. Nikita and Stacy greeted us warmly, our room was comfy, and the view of the ocean out the front door was unbeatable. The Tuesday night live music was an added bonus as was Germaine the bartender. We loved the low-key nature of the Oualie, and all of the staff

We booked 10 nights at Oualie Beach Resort, choosing Nevis rather than St Kitts, because we prefer resorts close to the beach that are not over crowded but also not in total isolation. Oualie did not disappoint. The staff are friendly and helpful when needed - the hotel grounds are regularly groomed, whilst the proximity of the accommodation to the sea makes the early morning swim along the beach a must. The hotel food served is good with traditional Caribbean but with limited choice. There are, however, three to four alternative restaurants nearby - although watch out for prices - on line menu quotes omit local taxes that are high and can lead to costly meals at the more expensive alternatives. The hotel offers BBQ on a Sunday afternoon, plus music/live band on Tuesday. The live band was fabulous fun, especially when jamming towards the end of the evening after the main act had left - spontaneous and unrehersed. Rooms are kept clean and air conditioned throughout the day but we turned ours off when out of the room - balcony gave great views of the sea and palms - we were in room 229. Nearby is Lovers Beach - often isolated but stunning - the currents were strong on that beach so we avoided swimming but standing in the warm water chest high was a fabulous experience with the waves washing over. We spent an hour each day on this beach in the later afternoons. To fully appreciate the Isand Car Rental is recommended - a taxi into Charlestown can be up to $20 US - so probably best to book car hire in advance. Be warned about Tourist traps on the Island - there are a few - so check out Tripadvisor before visiting ... ... but do consider Oualie Beach Resort. We loved the location and the staff.

We had a good holiday at Oualie Beach. The staff were pleasant (special mention to Michelle and Terian) and the food was OK. Sunday night live music in the bar was good but the Tuesday night session was really great. Room cleanliness was good. On the other hand there was certainly some scope for making our stay more enjoyable. There was a general lack of comfort in the room and in the shared areas. Only one comfortable chair in a double room was just not enough and some weird sun loungers on the balcony were tricky not what we expected. Beach sun loungers were OK and there was plenty of shade under the trees…. better to have trees that unsightly sunshades. I would have expected some beach chairs and small side table to be provided. Although the staff were pleasant enough there didn’t seem to be a ‘happy customer focus’. The hotel seemed to be suffering from a lack of maintenance and comfort. The most irritating aspect of our stay was the use of cut down wine bottles being used as glasses…. ugly, cheap and unhygienic.

We recently stayed at the Oualie Beach Resort for a long weekend. They arranged our transport from the airport in St. Kitts to the resort (taxi, water taxi) which was extremely convenient - the water taxi dropped us off on the beach just steps away from the resort. While there, we rented an ATV (from Nevis Scooter Rental), which allowed us to travel freely around the island, visiting museums, beaches, hiking trails and the downtown area easily and safely (highly recommend!) The resort is right on the water, and they provide lounge chairs and towels for guests. Our room was spacious and comfortable and the food at the onsite restaurant was delicious - though as others have mentioned, service could be a little slow. The Sunday BBQ was a fun activity with tasty food options and live music. We especially enjoyed all the wildlife Nevis had to offer - you'll see goats, donkeys, cows, monkeys and giant crabs all over the place!

Weekend getaway Wonderful rooms, wonderful beach, wonderful service. We had a great time!

The Oualie Beach Resort was the perfect place to relax and enjoy some rest and relaxation. Pros: *Cottages were nice and comfortable. * Nice screened in porch to allow for sitting outside in shade or at night *Cottage had a small refrigerator and small coffee pot * OnSite restaurant food was delicious and reasonably priced * Resort had activities available ( did not see anyone using them, however) * Water taxi available at resort dock (make advance reservations) * Staff was very friendly and helpful at arranging for taxi service, tour services and general information * Resort had live music on designated evenings * Taxi service available to go to other parts of the island * Electrical plugs same as USA (120 volt) Things to consider: * Resort was very quiet. Seemed like visitors went elsewhere all day. Not much going on there during day. * Bar on site, but no drink service to beach area * Not sure if this is the norm, but resort seemed to attract an older, retired crowd. Not a problem for us, but might be a deterrent if a younger couple or group were looking for a place with similar age groups. * Water was lovely, but beach was small and had as much grass as sand. Not a nice wide, white sandy beach. * Nowhere to purchase snacks/drinks besides the restaurant/bar. * Limited, repetitive menu at restaurant. * Chairs on screened porch, not comfortable for relaxing. All in all, we had a lovely stay, but we were looking for more to do by our second day. We ventured out to other areas on the island and were happy to come back to our cottage at the end of our day for quiet and rest.
