The Hermitage Plantation Inn

We visited and then owned on the west coast of Nevis for almost 30 years. We had to sell our house a few years back and just visit again now. This year we decided to see how the other half lives at elevation on the other side of the island and stayed at Hermitage. OMG, it's a whole other Nevis and we absolutely loved it. A total resort experience for us. Go down to a delicious (and free no matter what we order!), hang out at the pool all morning, lunch and bottle of wine delivered to us at the pool, nap at the pool, then wander down to incredible dinner and then to bed. By our 2nd day, most of the staff had asked our names, introduced themselves, and gave us the first class treatment. My wife particularly loved that it was so much cooler up the mountain, the wonderful gardens and all the monkeys and other wildlife that inhabit the property. We'll definitely be back. I can't understand why anyone would prefer 4Seasons at 4 times the price.

Authentic tropical Caribbean setting. The individual cottages were very comfortable and well appointed and always cool due to the sea breezes. The grounds were well kept. The restaurant was very pleasant as an open air covered porch (no bugs). The food was first class with a menu that varied day to day. The best thing about this resort was the staff! They were very friendly and learned your name and needs after the first day. This is not a beach front resort so we rented a car ( which was arranged by the Hermitage staff) and it was delivered to us. We drove to many places and beaches but enjoyed the resort, poolside, on a couple of days. We stayed for a week with friends and would love to visit again!

We are very grateful that our friends invited us to join them for a few days at the Hermitage Inn. It is such a wonderful and relaxing atmosphere. It's quite serene among all the vegetation and various animals, including monkeys, goats, roosters and chicken. The food is fabulous, great warm breakfast (cooked to order), and the dinners are worthy of 5/5 stars. Friday night it is Pizza for dinner. BTW, definitely one of the best pizza I have ever tasted. Richie and the staff are extremely friendly and nice, and always smiling .... Thank you All‼️

We arrived on the 9am ferry from St Kitts and decided we'd check out the location of our hotel before exploring the island. Really not difficult as there is just one main road around the island. I can understand why the Hermitage Hotel has such amazing reviews, the hotel is absolutely stunning and certainly does not disappoint. An added bonus, fortunately for us, our room was ready and we were able to check in early. Our room, what can I say, just spectacular. Within a loft buiding, Carridge House, had a partial seaview, over looked a beautiful lush green garden and surrounds. Late afternoon the garden was populated by the local cheeky monkeys, running and climbing amok, the curious ones up on the roof opposite, checking us out, the new arrivals. In the evening we had delicious dinner, which included a complimentary rum punch and in the morning, a delicious cooked breakfast, which set us up for the day. Initially had only booked one night but ended staying for two. Thanks has to be given to all staff at The Hermitage behind the scenes and front of house (Richie - proprietor, Jamila, Shawn) as they certainly enhance the experience.

We had a family reunion. The staff were friendly and very accomdating. The food was nice and the drive up to the centre showed it's amazing history. I would recommend it to friends and family who visit Nevis and I look forward to our next family reunion so we can once again enjoy our family get together at the Heritage Centre.
