Carambola Beach Club

Restaurant

👍👍 We visited the Carambola Beach Club as a cruise excursion. They do offer a day pass for those visiting on their own. We did not eat, but used the beach and had a drink at the bar. The beach area was large and they offered lots of chairs, umbrellas, and water sport rentals. The chairs were included...

    We visited the Carambola Beach Club as a cruise excursion. They do offer a day pass for those visiting on their own. We did not eat, but used the beach and had a drink at the bar. The beach area was large and they offered lots of chairs, umbrellas, and water sport rentals. The chairs were included in our excursion, but the umbrella was an additional $10. We arrived early, so had our pick of "front row" beach chairs. The water was easy to access and while it wasn't super calm, we were still able to enjoy snorkeling and floating in the water. There was not much to see while snorkeling, we only saw a few varieties of fish. There was an area off to the right of the dock that had calm water, great for weaker swimmers or children. The beach chairs on that side were also nicer. There were no vendors in the beach except for a man with a monkey charging $5 for a photo. The restrooms were clean considering they were right off the beach. There were outdoor showers available for rinsing off. The bar staff was friendly, but the frozen drinks were pricey and weak. There were lots of taxis available right out front. We were waiting for our bus and were approached multiple times by drivers. I would recommend this beach club.

    Nice private beach in beautiful St. Kitts. Plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the scenery. Umbrella chairs are available for $10 and the bar serves nice cold drinks.

    Schöne Anlage, allerdings 30 USD für 90min Sonnenschirm und zwei liegen ist Wucher. Wasser heute recht dreckig, viele Algen

    We have visited the beach club and restaurant many times over the years when our cruise itinerary includes St Kitts. The cost of renting chairs and umbrella is very reasonable and they take credit cards. The beach is clean and well maintained. They provide outside showers and clean restrooms. The sea bottom is smooth sand and water is calm.

    Second time visiting Carambola Beach Club and loved it again. Great Carib (the St. Kitts one is the nicest) good facilities and reasonably priced. And our visit was capped off by a dolphin swimming near the shore and allowing people to stroke it. Incredible experience!

    Absolutely one of the best beaches to experience because of the incredibly clean and calm waters and a very forgiving sandy bottom that is very gradual when it comes to the incline. This means this is a great place for kids to play and swim as well as for adults to wade comfortably with them. The place is very clean and has restrooms and showers as well as a full service bar and restaurant. The WiFi can be spotty but at least it’s free. Great option for people looking for a good shore excursion/beach day option as it is only 15 min drive from the cruise dock.

    Lovely chilled out beach 10-15 min drive from the cruise ship port. Was very quiet when we were there... about 10 other sun lounges in use. Best to share a taxi with other cruise ship passengers to share the $24 US taxi fee each way...

    What a beautiful beach and view…it was outstanding!! There was also a restaurant there with a great looking menu but we were heading back to our ship from a 4 hour private tour. Definitely worth a stop if you are visiting here!

    We got taxi here from the cruise port. $7 per person. Two chairs and an umbrella $25. We only had drinks. The food was expensive.

    I have always been meaning to stop by to experience the atmosphere, sights, and wonderful beach along with sampling their Lunch Menu. On arriving, I was very impressed with the decor and the way the staff ran things there. A beautiful venue for dining or just taking in the sunshine and well worth indulging oneself in such salubrious surroundings. The staff were polite, efficient, and extremely professional in carrying out their duties and interacting with guests.

    Nice place on the beach for a lazy dag in the sun! Took a taxi from the port and rented sun beds. They have a local Nevis beer on draft. The service is quite slow, so take your time. The restrooms were clean, the WiFi worked as well as the outdoor showers.

    Private beach for Seabourn Caviar in the Surf beach day. I'm not sure what it is used for other days of the week, but the day we were here we we tendered from the ship to the small dock. Entrance was restricted to Seabourn guests and crew and locals working here. So if you are considering coming here from the land side, check first to make sure you can get access. It was a great beach day for us, but access was restricted.

    If you're in the area, then you're on the beautiful Caribbean side of the island. This is one of the most pristine beaches in St Kitts and it faces Nevis. Umbrellas and beach chairs for the day were only $15 US. To sum up the day & this experience in one phrase: it"s chill! 🌞 ⛱️

    Visited on a no-cruise ship day which made for a very relaxing experience, essentially had the place to myself! The beach chairs are able to rent, free for students. Elston took great care of me on the beach. I had a virgin pina colada and the tempura sushi roll. The roll wasn’t great but the drink hit the spot. I’d order something else that I’m sure would be a lot better when I come back!

    Amazing beach and restaurant! The beach was calm with clear waters and a beautiful dock to watch the sunset from. They charge an entrance fee of $5, but if you buy a chair or umbrella, they waive the entrance fee. Chairs and umbrellas are $10 each, which is fair. You can also rent out snorkeling equipment with them for the day. The food at the restaurant was delightful and the servers were very polite and respectful. Highly recommend!

    Did this as an excursion from our cruise. Beach is great. Water was warm. Chair was included as part of our excursion so can't speak to its cost but umbrella only cost 10$. Food was good. people are very nice. People do walk the beach selling jet ski rides, parasailing etc

    The beach is located just over Timothy Hill. The Carambola beach club is a private property however locals love to enjoy the beach there. And it's just a shoreline walk away from ShipWreck restaurant. The sunset from there is spectacular!!! So if you are a lover of sunsets like I am , that beach is the perfect place to enjoy a nice sea bath while watching the sun set. There is a "#st.kitts" sign on the beach that is perfect for taking your vacation photos. It is definitely a beach I would recommend

    Last stop, the island of St. Kitts. This beach is very relaxing without all the loud music and has plenty of water sport activities. The club has an amazing full bar with local and import beer as well as an incredible menu.

    Nice place, overall clean, good facilities, low cost, clean water. No waves at all at this beach so the water can get warm in the shallow areas. Everything you want from a beach but … missing the “club” feel to make this place a gem. There is no atmosphere. No live music. No DJ. Very few aquatic activities. No entertainment. Very little service at the chairs especially between 11am and 1pm. We flagged down our waitress 3 times and she was always very polite and apologetic and told us she would come Right back as soon as she did x but she never returned. We gave up after 3 tries. Probably too many people for the wait staff onsite. Missed opportunity since many people were waiting to order food and drinks. The bar is overcrowded so very hard to get somebody’s attention. Again a missed opportunity here. The restaurant was overcrowded by the time we decided to have lunch so we decided to leave earlier than planned. Overall a good day and I would likely return. It’s a nice area to visit and not many beach club options in the area. $10 chairs and $10 umbrellas. You can’t really ask for more for that price but this place could be awesome.

    After visiting other ports while on excursions from our Royal Caribbean cruise, Carambola Beach club is my favorite. Love everything about it. Beautiful setting, relaxing atmosphere and wonderful drinks. Employees were friendly and helpful. I'm going back again on my up coming cruise. I made sure to book this one first. Simply beautiful and amazing. Our guide that transported us from the ship was also wonderful. Places to relax while waiting for transport back to ship. Nice seating area inside for when you need to get out of the sun and enjoy a beverage. Thank you Carambola beach club.

    Worst service I've experienced anywhere and at Las Vegas Prices! Took almost an hour to get a burger and a fish sandwich. They refused to add onions to the sandwich as it was too much work. Took 40 min and asking 4 times to get a coke and a bucket of beer. Fish sandwich was ok, burger was ok, plantains were very mediocre. Beach is ok and it was $30 for two chairs and an unbrella. Ttied to get another coke and a water at 3:30pm and they were already closed. No one should come here!

    Ordered the pre-fix menu for restaurant week. The crab cakes were good. Curry chicken was ok, not much curry flavor, the couscous & steamed vegetables were good. The bread pudding was highly recommended by the waiters but it was ok, wish I would’ve ordered the chocolate cake instead. The turn to get there from the main road was a little creepy, could use more lighting.

    Food is better than island average, but not spectacular. Other restaurants have better food. However, when combined with great atmosphere, it may be the best combination

  • 4/5 kang. k. 11 months ago on Google • 42 reviews
    Great staff with great atmosphere. Food was just normal like any other restaurants in the area. Ambience is classy. Everything is just too perfect about this establishment. Only con is that they are way overpriced. Would only recommend for special occasions not just another dinner or lunch reservation. Definitely got good beach chairs and umbrellas. Beach on this side is not too great. Sea bed is full of corals.

    Daislyn Sharpe and the entire team at Carambola Beach Club opened their arms and their doors to us and gave us the wedding of a lifetime. In early 2023, less than a year after homosexuality was decriminalized in St Kitts, we approached Daislyn Sharpe and asked if she would be willing to host our big gay wedding. To be honest, as outsiders from California, we had no idea that homosexuality had been recently decriminalized, or that we had gotten so lucky in accidentally finding a fierce and fearsome ally in Daisy Sharpe and her entire staff at Carambola Beach Club. We asked her because Carambola is, quite simply, the most beautiful place in the whole world that we had ever seen. Wouldn’t you want your wedding there? I could write pages about the most beautiful wedding day that Daisy and her crew gave to us. About a week before the wedding, I realized that our very out-and-proud gay friends from San Francisco might clash with the reserved and respectful culture of the community of St Kitts. To be frank, I was concerned that my gay friends might not get treated well by some of her staff and that her staff might see things (like boys kissing and dancing together) during our wedding reception that they were unaccustomed to. Daisy’s response completely shocked me! She told me that she had already sat down ALL of her staff, given them sensitivity training about our upcoming wedding, and reminded them that everyone is welcome at Carambola, that everyone deserves respect, and that all guests of Carambola are her guests entitled to exceptional and friendly service from her staff… and if anyone felt differently, then they didn’t belong at Carambola!!! Now for the good parts: * The ceremony, held on the beach at Carambola, was the most beautiful and picturesque wedding ceremony I’ve ever seen. Please look at the pictures because words simply don’t do it justice. * The dinner was SO. FREAKING. GOOD! Daisy has a buffet menu option and a table service menu option. The best dishes (in our opinion) like the Surf & Turf (Filet Mignon and Lobster Tail!) and the Jamaican Jerk Chicken were on the table service menu, but we wanted to have a buffet. No problem for Daisy! She worked with us to provide all of the dishes we wanted exactly how we wanted them! And the food was literally to die for! Just to be clear, at our wedding people were saying it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! It’s become a point of embarrassment now because people come up to us at other friends weddings and tell us how they wish they were at our wedding again because the food was so good! * The reception included a massive dance party on the dance floor Carambola built on the sand and a huge bonfire for those who wanted a break from dancing. The pictures speak for themselves. Oh, and don’t forget the fireworks! Carambola’s design includes a jetty into the water that enabled the fireworks folks to set off the fireworks directly in front of us on the beach over the water. It was spectacular! Oh and Daisy was in touch with us for 6 months prior, checking in regularly, and she made several recommendations for local vendors who we used. We were in San Francisco, and having vetted recommendations was essential for our destination wedding. I simply cannot possibly give Daisy (and her entire crew) high enough compliments for what they created for our wedding. If you are planning a wedding or any other event, whether you’re gay, straight, or something else, you will be welcomed with open arms and you will have the most incredible event of your life if you have it at Carambola Beach Club.

    Very nicely kept and clean beach club. Reasonable price for chairs and umbrella. Facilities are upscale and well kept. Did not try food but beach and beverages are wonderful.

    Have been off island for two years but made our way back, thankfully! Had a spectacular evening dining at Carambola. Warmly greeted by Tessa. Enjoyable conversation with Lerone at the bar and exquisite service by Amber. Food prepped perfectly. Beautiful ambiance. Must go! Remains our favorite fine dining on Saint Kitts.

    Amazing food! Great vibe ocean sounds. I would give the service a 5 stars except for the matrie d’ he only was attentive to the what I guess he considered special guests , I was dining alone never once checked on me. The waiter and hostess did makeup for his lack of attention and made everything great

    The water is nice and clear and the sun chairs are clean. An Umbrella and a sun chair is 10$ each. The food is good, the prices are ok. Walking distance to the shipwreck snorkeling spot. And 5$ if you need to use a bathroom. The biggest disappointment was a man walking with a monkey and constantly hitting monkey’s head. And nobody cares… The man is mental but it doesn’t give him a right to hit animals.

    St. kitts itself is beautiful. Beaches are amazing. The people working the taxi service were running around like it was the first day on the job. Took over an hour to get to our destination. The service here at Carambola Beach Club was awful. One of the bartenders (see picture of him) was extremely rude. I ordered a Banana drink (that had all the ingredients listed on the menu) I watched him pick up three different types of mixes that were not listed, I have a coconut allergy so when I confronted him first he said that the menu was misleading and that was the drink I ordered, then I questioned the price because he didn’t give a receipt. On the menus it said it was $12.80 - he just spluttered out $16.00 after I questioned him he immediately got defensive and loudly asked if I thought he was robbing me and he could show me how the price was $16 even though the menu pointed at showed cheaper, won’t be back. Wouldn’t recommend. Not organized. Take your well earned money elsewhere!

    Clean sea water, white sand, the sun is a great holiday. The bar has various drinks, the toilet is paid, but you can wash your feet for free)). There are different water activities, but in our day they were on vacation.

    Just went here on a cruise excursion and it was an excellent experience! The facilities were spotless with tons of chairs and umbrellas. The beach was super clean, the water was warm & perfect for a dip - not choppy at all. Nelisa was a great waitress in the bar area (service at the beach chairs was our only complaint). Love it!

  • 4/5 PRASANTH C. 1 year ago on Google
    Place is clean and good. Food and drinks are decent. Crew is limited so service is delayed. They are very nice though. Great access to the beach. You can rent an umbrella and two beach chairs for 15USD. Great place to watch the sunset. Heard that this place is packed when there are cruise ships at the port. We felt like we had this place for ourselves cuz there are no cruise ships that day.

    Carambola is an A+ restaurant to visit while on St. Kitts for dinner. Excellent service, great food and a beach perfect atmosphere. It is one to not miss. This visit was for the annual Restaurant Week special.
