Fodor's Expert Review Royal St. Kitts Hotel & Casino

This attractive property, which now affects a budget boutique look, has seen many changes over the years—like the addition of two adjacent mini-malls with restaurants, retail outlets (including a supermarket), and a spa/salon. Thirty two-story buildings house sizable fresh rooms splashed with vibrant sea colors, some split-level with jetted tubs, all with kitchenettes as well as balconies overlooking the ocean, lagoon, or golf course. Upper-floor rooms in the 300 block feel airier and larger, though they're close to the action (for good and bad). Though it's been stripped of local flavor and flair, it offers comfort and an enviable location for enjoying Frigate Bay.
