I have been coming to this property for about 10 years with students. This is the first time I have come on vacation. It sits on the picturesque Caribbean Sea with a view of St Kitts. The water taxi pier is next door maki g it so convenient to get here. The staff are wonderful! They are knowledgeable, accommodating and very professional. This is my go-to happy place. Walk out of your door..look out your window and take in the quiet. I find great delight in the free range livestock. Unplug and book your trip immediately. I am booking my return before I leave.

Nice quiet resort on Oualie Beach Nevis. Nice little cottage only steps from the beach. Easy check in. They brought our luggage over from the ferry from St Kitts. Beautiful beach. Housekeeping staff are very friendly. The restaurant is a hidden gem on Nevis! The grounds are well maintained. The prices are fair. You might even see some donkeys, monkeys, and sheep wander around.

I have never looked at Oualie when we were scheduled originally to visit St Kitts & Nevis back in April 2020 but things changed since then... our original hotel at Nisbet Plantation shut down... so when I came across an amazing deal for Oualie decided to give it a shot despite some of the comments here on TripAdivsor about the TLC needed - I couldn't emphasize how glad I am, we are! (my wife was very hesitant based on the reviews here as well) that we stayed at Oualie! I love travelling and always look forward to a new place and I have to admit; it's been a while since I was sad leaving a place... definitely enjoyed our time at Oualie over those 5 days here and here is the reasons why: Location: the resort is directly on the Oualie Beach! It's not as pretty as Pinneys Beach but it's still a wonderful beach and here you have it all to yourself as barely anybody visits it and if something you end up seeing people on the far end of the bay where the ferry terminal is (which I think is also an added bonus since you can literally walk to that terminal without a taxi). You face west so perfect for sunsets and views of St Kitts. We arrived on the Sea Bridge (car ferry) which was a super easy under 5 minutes drive - if you fly into NEV airport then you would drive under 5 minutes from the opposite direction - arrival simply can get any easier :) Nevis is overall small and you drive in one bigger circle so nothing is really far though the west side of the island is definitely where you want to be - sunsets, calmer waters, short drive to Charlestown and many south/southwest points of interest for restaurants and attractions. Room: we had the King Premier room - on the way from the lobby I did notice many buildings needing some TLC (ironically during our stay some of them were getting some paint job and it was a night and day difference, such a simple thing!) and I started doubting myself for a second but then we made it to the room - big bed, comfy, traditional Caribbean furniture in perfectly fine shape, Netflix, WiFi (was spotty even though each room has its own router, so we ended up connecting tot he room directly above us without an issue) , huge shower and bathroom - nothing luxurious but perfectly fine and in good shape. The patio with a screened/netted views amazing in the evenings for lazy sunset and mornings to see the monkeys roaming around - a couple got to us super closer twice, super cool experience! Those big sunbeds on the patio = you can sleep in them, I feel asleep on evening :) There is a small fridge in the room for cooling down beer/drinks, maybe some food leftovers but no microwave in the unit we had. The safe was there but dead and looked like broken too - didn't bother me to be honest but removing it completely would probably leave a better impression :) all plus were USA type of outlets so no converters needed Hotel Grounds: it's basically a series of single level and double level houses spread along the coast line - all ocean view (it appeared to me), with patios, there is an excellent restaurant and bar on the spot, some nice vegetation and beach chairs for the ocean front, couple hammocks, some picnic tables - the vegetation is very cozy and the big trees provide plenty of needed shade in the afternoon - during our April stay it was extremely windy so it was lovely to sit on under those trees and listen to the ocean waves and leaves/branches on the trees moved by the wind - soooooooo relaxing! Donkeys visit from time to time, so do monkeys! Tones of fun :) Beach: Check my separate review on the Oualie Beach for pictures and details - donkeys, green monkeys, birds, palm trees, turtles in the water! It's a full package so don't judge the book by its cover as you will miss out on the best what this beach has to offer vs Pinneys - they are just 2 different worlds. Also, here at Oualie you have it at your finger tips vs. Pinney you need to drive - mornings and evenings on this beach = so peaceful, so relaxing! There is plenty of sea grass (not to confuse with the sea weed which wasn't an issue at all during our stay while the entire East Coasts of both St Kitts and Nevis were invaded by it during that same time) which the turtles feed on - so one time I bumped into a turtle in the water, very unexpected and joyful moment for certain! The water can be very pretty from time to time when closer but most of the time this is not the picturesque type of beach - it's the good old fun type of one :) more for the joyful soul than the eye! If it's not what you desire from a beach Pinneys is a super easy 10 minute drive along the coast heading south. Food & Restaurants: those Johnny Cakes!!!! that salt fish! The breakfasts at Oualie were amazing!!! Homemade cooking, with a view, wonderful service, and soooooo reasonably priced! What an exceptional value! We had also a wonderful dinner here and their Nevisian Rum Punch is outstanding too! So dont waste your time in the morning and stick around for every breakfast - trust me been there done that and we regretted we "wasted one breakfast outside". For lunch and dinner there are some great options on Nevis so do give them a shot as well - Drift by the NEV airport, Sunshines on Pinneys, Bananas in Hamilton Estate, The Golden Rock & Montpelier in the south - all wonderful experiences. Things to do: Nevis is "much slower" than St Kitts, and there isn't that much here to do and although at first I thought maybe 3 nights would be to much I loved the fact we stayed 4 and I could have spent even more, in particular because I enjoyed just relaxing at Oualie so much! So that is your first thing I would recommend - relax, enjoy, unwind - Oualie is a perfect place for that. If you do however like doing things then take a driver to the NEw River Estate (some ruins), visit the plantation/mill houses with their restaurants (lunch+sighseeting combo) at the Golden Rock & Montpelier, check out the Nevis Botanical Gardens, spend some time on Pinneys and get KillerBee or two from Sunshine's :) check out Mark's Clifton Rum Estate tour and his L&L shop - it's definitely not as big list as on St Kitts but plenty still to do if you just dont want to be at the resort all day! I have reviewed all spots we visited here so hopefuly you can use some of that info to plan your end - I definitely did benefit from reading other people's info while planning Nevis in particular as there is not that much info out there on it for some strange reason. Overall: Oualie was a wonderful place, truly wonderful people and a wonderful memory for life - I actually get pretty touched when I think of it... we visited during my birthday week and this was something in the making for 2 years, never ever in my life I envisioned and anticipated that I would love Nevis so much and it's not a maybe, but actually for certain due to Oualie Beach Resort - it by no means was not the fanciest and luxurious place I have stayed in but it was one of the best times I had ever and that will always remain a special place in my heart - thank you from the bottom of that happy heart! :)…

After our original hotel in Nevis "lost" our reservation for our wedding night, we visited the Oualie Beach Resort the morning of our wedding to see if they had any rooms available. They were so accommodating and found us a king room for that night. They even decorated the room with silk flowers, and swan and heart towels. The view from our room was breathtaking! They really saved the day for us!

Oualie Beach Resort is a small old-fashioned hotel on a really great sandy beach, which is situated in a quiet and very picturesque bay in the northeast corner of Nevis. The hotel grounds are dotted with a lot of native trees, as well as other flowering trees and bushes, and the grounds are visited by a lot of butterflies, as well as by green monkeys, attractive brown cows, a few donkeys, and some sheep. The hotel quiet although it is not far away from the main road, and that is convenient for catching buses to get you into town or to get around anywhere else in the island very cheaply. The hotel itself is very West Indian, and it is not glamorous or upscale, but it is welcoming andhas everything you need, and the staff are lovely people, especially the ladies who clean the rooms every day. The bay see is very quiet, and it usually has no waves at all, and therefore it is great for children to play in the water and sand. There is a scuba place (Scuba Safaris) right there on the bay, as well as a bicycle rental place, a sailing place, and I think other attractions too. There is a relatively new concrete pier in the bay, on which every day a whole series of water taxis arrive and depart, going to and from Reggae Beach (Cockleshell Bay) on the next-door island of St. Kitts. The water taxi company can arrange for you to catch a regular taxi from there to go anywhere on St. Kitts. The water taxi is very fast and is reasonably priced. One great thing is that the Oualie Beach Resort hotel rooms now have really great connectivity, which was not the case for many years. The kitchenettes are quite well designed, although they are not always fully equipped, but if you are short of dishes or cutlery you can ask the restaurant to lend you more items. The hotel bar is small but quite charming, and if you are lucky you may run into one or both of the hotel cats there.…

This resort has a beautiful bayside setting, with great views of St Kitts and a really nice sandy beach! We enjoyed their food, music and bar many days throughout our stay. GG & Michelle are exceptional members of their staff. John, one of the family owners, is also an awesome “old rocker” who plays in a band there on Tuesday evenings !!

We stayed here as a base for the Nevis St Kitts swim which starts from the beach. The gingerbread cottages are very comfortable and clean. Surroundings are very relaxing, and the restaurant bar will keep you full of rice’n’peas and rum punch. With the wonderful weather what more do you need?

We came to the island to swim and just chill. Oualie Beach resort provides just this. My wife swam most of the day m, while I hiked the island. Oualie is a short water taxi ride from St Kitts. Oualie Beach skips the hustle and bustle of the big resorts. Once you transition to Island Time you will love this place.

The location of this resort is great as you step right out of your room and are at the beach. But that is all that is good at this poorly maintained and neglected hotel. We were there for 10 days and had half of that time without hot water in the shower and after that only a triggle of water. The cottages all need work from the holes in the screen porches, linen, towels. The resort has a reputation on the island as not well cared for by the owners. They do not appear to care to keep it good. And the staff are not surprised when they hear these comments. They agree that the owners are not putting any effort into what could be a lovely resort. Really too bad.

Stayed here for two weeks from January to February and had a lovely peaceful, relaxing break. This is a basic 3* shabby chic hotel, but it's clean, on a nice peaceful beach and is a friendly place to stay. It was very quiet especially in the evenings, and the bar closed very early. We didn't hire a car, we used Ozzy regularly to drive us out in the evenings to eat, and to other beaches. Ozzy was lovely and sooooo reliable, we can highly recommend. Oualie is about a 15 -18 minute drive to Charles Town, and is conveniently close to Reef and Luna resteraunts, which we can highly recommend. Sadly The Gin Trap wasn't open nearby (next time hopefully)! We thoroughly enjoyed music night on Tuesday nights, where locals and ex-pats all joined in for a lively night. Nevis is the friendliest Island, and it was so nice bumping into familiar friendly faces as we ate at different resteraunts around the island. Live music at Reef, Luna and Yachtsman was very enjoyable. I would return to Oualie and Nevis on a heartbeat…
