HIGH STAFF TO GUEST RATIO MAKES NISBET PLANTATION SERVICE UNMATCHED

AAA, TripAdvisor, Condé Nast Traveler, All Rank Nisbet among the Best Caribbean Hotels

NEVIS, West Indies — How do you get to be Number 1?  With exceptional service and hospitality, that’s how.  Highly rated in all realms — the travel media, travel experts and discerning travelers — Nisbet Plantation Beach Club owes its coveted status to its famed Nevisian service.  A staff to guest ratio of more than one to one ensures customer satisfaction unmatched by other boutique resort hotels.  Also, staff longevity maintains continuity of superb service; some Nisbet staff members have been with the resort for decades.

Nisbet Plantation Beach Club’s guests are so pleased with their vacations that the hotel is one of the very few in the world to be rated repeatedly a perfect 5.0 on TripAdvisor.com.  As a result TripAdvisor now ranks Nisbet #1 of all the best luxury resorts in Latin America and the Caribbean and #6 in the world. 

This intimate Caribbean resort is the Caribbean’s only historic plantation inn located directly on the beach.  With just 36 rooms spread across 30 acres, Nisbet continues to gain the attention of a growing number of traveling sophisticates across the globe.

·         Nisbet was recognized by travel agents as the leading resort of St. Kitts & Nevis in the 2007 World Travel Awards.

“These awards certainly have increased our visibility and occupancy.  Nonetheless our dedicated staff always will be ready to make each and every guest feel welcomed and cherished, ensuring we continue to provide the superior hospitality for which the resort has become known,” insists General Manager Glen Hurd.

In addition to service, of course the resort property must be continually maintained.  All of the Nisbet guest accommodations’ interiors were completely redesigned in 2006. An artificial reef was completed in 2007 and already has improved the beach environment for ocean life and swimmers.  Nisbet just reopened The Palms Spa, completely redesigned in an expanded space offering a full selection of massage and treatments, signature amenities and world-renowned Epicuren’s healing products.  “To meet the highest standards in guest service, we continue to enhance the resort,” notes Mr. Hurd.
