We landed in Stkitts and spent 4 days at the Marriott ... I just love this island! From the moment we landed until we left we felt so safe secure and welcome
The place I would recommend is Ciao for Italian food ...excellent
Also turtle beach is lovely...we did o to nevis but the ferry ride to and fro, both ways was so late and delayed...
The highlight of my trip was my shopping at portzante especially Glitter Jewelry, I have in my past seen many jewelry stores but there prices and quality is simply unbelievable... I saw some really beautiful canary diamonds and also lots of white diamond jewelry and colored stone jewelry... I did buy a Canary Diamond from Seema and Gary (owners) at Glitter... The whole experience was fantastic
In the nites, however, the island sucks ..there isn't much of nite life however the club at Marriott if quite nice
And of course how can I miss the casino? ...Won at the roullette
In a nutshell, it was a great trip

Our trip to St. Kitts was quite a memorable one. Upon arriving on the island, we were greeted by the hotel concierge who took us to the very lovely Marriott hotel. The people were very nice, the place was pleasant, the weather was just awesome. We enjoyed our time at the resort and had time to relax, play, and even golf. And what a course it was! We enjoyed dinner at Marshalls which was minutes away from the hotel, From there, we went to the strip where they have a line of bars. Good music and atmosphere. Among the other restaurants, we also dined at Mr. X's shiggidy shack, and might I add, they had the best lobster I have ever tasted. Monkey bar was fun, I learned that it is owned by world champion retired boxer, Roy Gumbs, and we got to chit chat with him, that was quite nice. We also took a trip to see the old Fortress called the Brimstone Hill and took a hike up to the volcano. That was quite an experience, so natural and so beautiful; we saw lots of monkeys. Of course, no trip would be complete without shopping! And that we did at the new Port Zante. A lot of duty-free stores but the one in particular which we felt the most comfortable was IC Jewelers Duty Free. From the moment we stepped into the store we felt welcome. We met the owner, Kamal, and his wife, Isha. The store was very beautiful and they have some very prestigious brands at very good prices. Swarovski, Mont Blanc, Baume & Mercier, Lladro, Longchamp, Hidalgo, Faberge, Waterford, Technomarine are what I can remember. I purchased from them, and now that I am back home, I realize how much I have saved. I highly recommend anyone who is looking to shop to definitely stop by them. Before we left, we took a trip to Turtle Beach on the last day and from there, took a boat tour to Nevis and back; a lovely island. All in all a very good trip and I will definitely go back to St. Kitts.
