  1. I know this hotel is being talked about some through valve trips. We just booked it this past weekend.

     

    Do you guys think we need a rental car if we stay here. We are just looking to go to the beach maybe. Also just maybe some shopping or walking around to see the area if its located in a walking area. Plus something good to eat. Thanks for all the help. We are just staying one night before our cruise.

     

    Thanks CC

  2. Well long story short we was going to stay at the Aqua went to book it last night CC wasn't working went to book it just now and they don't have the right rooms we are looking for. So now we are back to finding one.

     

    Looking for one thats on the beach or near the beach with shops and places to eat around it that's close to the port. We have never stayed the night here before so we have no clue.

     

    Thanks for all the help on this thread and the other one.

     

    Thanks CC

  3. Thanks you guys.

     

    We was just wantng to spend sometime on the beach and the area around the hotel. Is there stores within walking distance? For like food for the night? Wine place to get wine for the cruise.

     

    We have no idea which would be better.

     

    If we decide to rent the car captain is the drop off place for the car rental close to the cruise port?

  4. We are going down the day before our cruise. It is going to be 6 of us. We will be arriving that morning and we will have all day to do whatever.

     

    We are staying at the Aqua. I think is the name.

     

    Should we rent a car or would it be better for us just to hire a uber or taxi and take us places???

  5. So the people that has been on the Allure of the Seas what time do they have you off the ship?

     

    We could only get a 10 o clock the day we get back or we could have waited till 3. We have been on several cruise just not on Allure so we are not sure how it works.

     

    We will be carry our own luggage off the ship. Thanks for the help. Also Allure we will be sailing out of FLL and getting on the Air Plane in FLL. Thanks

  6. There are many boats that offer day trips to St John and many hold a maximum of 6 passengers. How many in your group?

     

     

    6 is what we have in our group. We are looking for a trip that has alcohol included but can't seem to find any.

  7. We will be docking in St Thomas from 10-7 one day this coming August. We are very interested in doing a boat excursion to St John for some snorkeling, beach time, and site seeing. A lot of the catamaran/boating excursions we've done in the past usually have rum punch and beer but from what I'm finding on Trip Adviser, I do not see anything similar to this. Not sure if I'm even looking at the correct type of excursions. Does anyone have recommendations for such an excursion to St John?

  8. Spice Mill at Cockleshell Beach is my favorite beach bar, the further south you go away from the volcano the better the sand. A very close second is Shipwreck - it's not fancy but I loved the rustic feel.

     

     

    Do you both have blue blue see through water?

  9. St Kitts is not known for their beaches, however depending on what your looking for you can find a beach bar.

     

    Frigate Bay- beach closest to the the port (approx. 10 min taxi ride) $4.00.. USD per person each way. Shared taxi

    Bars of interest: Shiggidy Shack and Vibes.

    Shiddigy is your rustic bar, good food and drinks. Lounge chairs not the greatest- throwback from the 80/90's . Chairs are free.

    Vibes- good food new chairs and umbrellas. Chairs are $5.00 USD Umbrellas are $10

     

    South Friars:

    Approx 15 minutes from port, passes over Timothy Hill (picture op.) 2 places of interest: Carmabola and Shipwreck. Shared taxi is $4.00 per person each way

    Carmobola is upper scale beach club, food and drink and paid chairs and umbrellas. Most cruise passengers are dropped off there.

    Shipwreck- at the opposite end of the beach . Laid back rustic bar, lots of expats. Food is good, monkey sightings and chairs are throwbacks to the 90's but free. The beach part is eroding, but I had friends there last month and they said it wasn't bad at all.

     

    Cockleshell:

    Furthest beach on the island, approx 25 minutes from port. Shared taxi is $7.00 per person each way

    2 bars:

    Reggae- rustic, chairs are throw backs to the 90's. Crowded as most taxis drop their guests off there. Never ate there or stayed too crowded.

     

    Spice Mill - good food and drinks, new chairs and umbrellas $5.00 USD for chairs $10 for umbrellas. Clean bathrooms, showers.

    Cockleshell has the best views of Nevis which is right across the narrows.

     

    Hope this helps

     

    Which one would you go to we just want clear water and soft sand...

     

    Thanks for the help.
