Ottleys Plantation – St. Kitts – Nevis

A Romantic Getaway Package To Saint Kitts – Nevis
By: Gordon Steven

You should consider taking a Romantic Getaway Package with your loved one to St Kitts, and consider very strongly one of best Caribbean Inns on the island if not the whole Caribbean. The name Ottley’s Plantation Inn may not be one you are familiar with, but as a romantic getaway idea it is hard to beat. It is a very picturesque old plantation house converted to an Inn with additional deluxe cottages built in the spacious grounds. The whole place is stunning, never more so than when you approach up the long driveway.

Ottley’s Plantation Inn on St Kitts has twenty four rooms which are housed either in the Great House, or the Cottage Rooms. There is also the most luxurious St Kitt’s Villa, and the Grand Villa. They are all decorated in English Colonial Style with wicker and mahogany furniture and floral chintzes.

A romantic getaway package should obviously be romantic, but apart from that wherever you choose to go should also make you feel totally relaxed, and Ottleys Plantation Inn will certainly do that within minutes of your arrival.

If you can afford it and they are available then choose the Royal Suite Cottages. If this is really to be a romantic getaway then you want luxury and privacy, and that is what you will get. Everything from the enormous and luxuriously furnished master bedroom , the Jacuzzi in the bathroom, to the patio with sun deck and private plunge pool lends itself to your romantic getaway package, and allows you to indulge yourself.

You will find in this very private spot on St Kitts that the service is impeccable, and the food just amazing. The staff do really seem to care about you enjoying your stay and do their best at all times to make it memorable. They have this remarkable talent for being there just at the moment you need them then seeming to vanish when you don’t. The Royal Palm restaurant has a huge and well deserved reputation for its New Island Cuisine, and you will find the menu varied and always delicious in the evenings and there is also a poolside lunch every day except Sunday when there is a Sunday Champagne Brunch.

May 27, 2008 (CUOPM)

Former female sugar workers have been praised for purchasing government shares in Cable and Wireless (St. Kitts and Nevis) Limited and investing in Treasury Bills.

Addressing women attending a Labour Women Conference at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort last Saturday, Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas challenged the women to mould their children into productive citizens in the twin-island Federation.

Dr. Douglas, who is also the National Political Leader of the governing St. Kitts – Nevis Labour Party said scores of women in the Federation were recently challenged by the closure of the centuries-old sugar industry and are now active participants in the creation and expansion of the new economy.

He said former sugar workers have now become small crop, vegetable and livestock farmers and owners of small businesses.

Dr. Douglas praised those women who rejected the advice of the current political leader of the People’s Action Movement (PAM) Mr. Lindsay Grant, who told them not to let the Labour Administration tell them how to spend their redundancy money from the closure of the sugar industry.
