Tropical Nevis is a Caribbean dream

wares in this stunning setting.

There are no TVs in the rooms but if you are having withdrawals there are two on site. Either visit the gym or head to the communal area in the Great House.

The latter, full of books and games, is the perfect place to mingle with other guests, many of whom are old friends as people tend to return year after year.

And I can understand why.

One visit to the Nisbet Plantation is enough to see why people fall in love with the Caribbean.

Repeat guests are always greeted by name by staff who have worked here for many years, including Patterson, the dapper gentleman who welcomes us for dinner.

Apparently, back in the day, a guest commented on the fact that Patterson always wore the same tie, so gifted him one. This started something of a trend and Patterson, now affectionately known as the tie man, has amassed a collection numbering more than 8000.

Dinner is nothing short of amazing. I choose the jerk chicken while Linda orders lobster for the second time in her life (the first being more than 30 years ago).

We certainly feel like celebrities in this wonderful place which effortlessly oozes class and sophistication.

And it’s a lifestyle we could definitely get used to.
