    Have to keep your eye out for the sign as it is very simple and does not give away the treasure that awaits you The landscape is incredible. Is lush, colorful and breathtaking. Check the lamp posts The revitalization of the property into a haven that combines vivid colors, paintings and table settings against the great of the original property is very clever and tied back to the colorful landscape Is an oasis. The service is great. Staff were friendly and very responsive Is worth a trip just for drinks and to enjoy being in another world

    We felt like we landed in the Garden of Eden! Golden Rock Inn *may* be the reason to go to Nevis. It's that special. We stayed for 7 nights and the entire stay was enchanting. Food is unparalleled AMAZING. Staff absolutely gracious and helpful. It's a treasure of a boutique hotel.

    Let’s be clear: A trip to Nevis without dining at Golden Rock is no trip to Nevis at all. The charm offensive begins with an atmosphere that seems impossible to replicate anywhere in this earthly world. As you walk through the Inn lounge—perhaps you should leisurely enjoy a cocktail there first—and then onto the stone patio, you quickly realize the uniqueness of moment you are about to experience and possibly will never forget. Here you find yourself on the most enchanting islands of the West Indies with the blessing to have the opportunity to dine by moon and candlelight under a private dome amid the koi pond and gardens sunken into the slopes of Nevis Peak. If your party is around six people and it’s a weekday night, you’ll likely be seated under the dome without having to make a special request. You’ll feel like modern royalty casually meeting old friends but that’s just how they treat all their guests. There is a sense of belonging—that you were destined to be in that moment at that time—and a warm feeling of gracious Nevisian hospitality coupled with European style still unblemished by hordes of tourists. Do you feel pity for to those unwittingly suffering in Carnival Cruise steerage? No, please keep it this way. You absorb every second of this special and unique atmosphere and begin to think about your meal. The service is as quiet and restrained or as engaging and lively as you want it to be; the staff seems to instinctively know what kind of experience you prefer without much thought. They recalibrate to you automatically. And, for god’s sake remember that when it’s time to be extra generous with your gratuity. Overall, the food is outstanding, fresh and most importantly, unpretentious. The Golden Rock menu knows what it wants to be and isn’t trying to be something else. Therefore, it never falls short. What to order? First things first: The Conch Chowder is the best on the island—if not the entire Caribbean. It is simply a mistake to not order it. If you aren’t in the mood for soup, you get in the mood and consider yourself lucky to have it. It’s also probably the best place on Nevis to enjoy a perfectly cooked lamb chop entrée—medium rare. So, if you like lamb, get it here. If not, the fresh fish—local Snapper or Mahi—is always fool proof and lovingly prepared without any gimmickry. They will certainly accommodate a vegetarian. Try one of the more inventive appetizers by sharing with your table. Desert? Yes, but more for the opportunity to linger longer in this wonderful atmosphere. Importantly, dinning at Golden Rock should be had at least twice during any weekly Nevis stay, once at night for a full dinner and once during the day for lunch so you can see the grounds in a different light and meet the friendly staff once again. Have another cocktail, maybe enjoy a hamburger and just look at this place. Her European owners have most certainly achieved Sainthood for their investment and dedication into all that Golden Rock is today. Recently, she was a location for the big screen staring opposite of Billions’ Malin Akerman. A surely charming film who’s fame hopefully won’t result in any changes at the Inn. Please Golden Rock, never change.

    Golden Rock is personal for me because it’s at home (in Nevis) and I’ve been there a dozen times. And yet, every time I go, it still feels like the first. I LOVE everything about Golden Rock… the immaculate landscaping, the stonework of their buildings, its location under the mountain, and their friendly, professional staff. On my last trip to Golden Rock, my Mum, my partner and I had brunch and it was exquisite (as usual)! It was my partner’s first there and he was blown away! Beyond all these incredible things, their food is always on point, so that’s an absolute plus! Every time I’m there, it never feels like I’ve spent enough time. Trust me, the gardens are breathtaking, so it’s a magnificent escape!!! Golden Rock is one of my favourite places on earth - EVER. If you’re visiting St.Kitts & Nevis, you must put it on your list… you’ll probably fall in love too!

    Hotel looks beautiful and the kind of place you would go to to escape the hustle and bustle of life. Food there not too great though.

    Secluded and with lovely calming ambience. We had dinner outside next to the pond. Food was great. Had the rack of lamb(medium rare) with mashed potatoes special request of fried plantains and goat cheese stuffed eggplant. Food was delicious and beautifully plated.

    This Location is unique its own way. The hotel is located in the mountain side of the island. The restaurant is excellent. It has a excellent setting while still giving you that tropical feeling, it can be transformed into any setting as you may please. Whether it may be business, party or family the restaurant is excellent. The staff is well trained. I had both lunch and dinner and the waitress was excellent. The only issue and Im sorry to say the timing between the appetizers and the entre was to close. Other than that the food was excellent along with the customer service.

    Golden Rock Inn and Restaurant is amazing! Such attention to detail. It's history is fascinating! Highly recommend to anyone traveling to the West Indies.

    We absolutely loved this stunning restaurant. Built into the side of Mt. Nevis, it overlooks a meticulous Asian-style garden and out to the sea, and enjoying a meal here over sunset is a truly spectacular experience. We ordered cocktails at the inner brick bar area, then moved to the open air patio for dinner. The locally caught Caribbean spiny lobster was a really fun and delicious choice! Staff was attentive and friendly.

    A little piece of history to see in Nevis. Did not stay there but did eat lunch there. Food was great, atmosphere great, service great, landscaping great. Would definitely recommend as a place to eat and visit outside of normal tourist stays.

    Awesome place with beautiful gardens. The breakfast was amazing 👌 22USD/pp and you get to choose one of 7 meals they offer (fresh fruits, coffee or tea and meat selection included)

    Gorgeous garden and really good food. Best lunch I’ve had in a month in St. Kitts & Nevis.

    Can highly recommend the Tuna Poke for starters. Jocelyne took great care of us when we went there last week for my wife's birthday dinner. All in all, it was probably one of the best meals we have ever had. Fantastic food, friendly helpful staff, amazing rhum punch and in such a lovely setting. We enjoyed it so much we went back for lunch a couple of days later and also took a walk through the stunning gardens. Highlight of our holiday on Nevis.

    We spent four nights here as a group of 5, across two rooms, at the end of May. It was absolutely spectacular. All of the employees were incredibly nice and helpful during our stay, particularly with my mother-in-law who had some mobility issues at the time. they were quick to offer recommendations for places to eat around the island as well as activities. The pool is simple and pristine, and the property has gorgeous views of the peak. Ive been fortunate enough to say that I have stayed at many nice hotels, but this may be the best hotel I've ever stayed at. My wife is still talking about simple things, like the fresh lemonade in the morning or the view from the Sugar Mill Suite. If you are alright with staying a little off the beaten path you absolutely will not be disappointed with the Golden Rock Inn!

    Holy cow, the most incredible restaurant setting we've ever seen. We went for dinner, arriving just before dark, and our biggest disappointment was not getting there earlier so we had more daylight to explore. The place is impossible to do justice trying to describe it, you just have to experience it. Beautiful gardens, castle-like buildings - what a place. Great food too!

    I need to know, who is leaving something other than 5 stars on this wonderful, exceptional inn? I cannot recommend staying here enough. It’s perfect for couples. The food is worth every penny. The jungle surrounds you and forces you to forget you’re even at an inn. Pictures of the place are meager compared to how the scenery looks in person. We spent a few hours wandering around the grounds with top-notch drinks from the bar. The staff is the most accommodating and personal we have ever experienced. Jaydell was the manager there, and he went out of his way to make us feel welcome. Sarah — at the front desk — is a wizard with coordinating taxis and activities in the area. (Side note: I would actually recommend renting a car for the flexibility it provides. But that’s on us not the hotel). We hope when (not if) we go back they are still there. We miss them! The jungle/garden comes alive at night. Sounds from birds, bats, and bugs are everywhere, but those creatures somehow don’t mess with you. Don’t be turned off by the lack of AC. The windows and fans keep even your hottest sleepers cool. If you’re the active type, there is an rewarding hike part way up Nevis Peak that starts at the hotel. I believe the inn can arrange for a guide to take you all the way up. If you’re looking for tourists, crowds, or rowdiness, this is not the place. But if you’re looking for a secluded, romantic, gorgeous, damn-near-life-changing experience, this is the place for you.
