micmacmissy Posted May 8, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 8, 2022 We cruised recently and I had NO IDEA what to do in St. Kitts. Planned nothing. Finally, the night before we pulled into port at St. Kitts, I hit up trip advisor and found some incredible reviews for Discovery Beach Bar & Grill. None of the cruise ships have their own excursions to Discovery Beach Bar, but it’s located between Carambola and Shipwreck. A 10-15 minute ride from the port. We had no problem grabbing a taxi and heading over…two loungers and a rum punch was $22. We were two of six guests there the ENTIRE time. The bar/grill is nothing to write home about…but the drinks were good and I’m told the owner (Morsi) makes all food from scratch, and supposedly his wings are amazing. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves… 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micmacmissy Posted May 8, 2022 Author #2 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Chairs and shade are PLENTIFUL. While there, we met some fellow Americans who had lived in St. Kitts for awhile and yes…this little spot is their favorite. The water was lovely and calm, and it looked to be a nice snorkel spot (didn’t realize til we left that the bar had snorkel gear to borrow). Sitting in our secluded little spot with a beach ALL to ourselves, we noticed a group of about 20 kayakers over at Carambola. Everything at Carambola and Shipwreck seemed to be geared toward big crowds of cruisers. Even our taxi driver hadn’t heard of this place - he kept asking, “are you sure you don’t want to go to shipwreck?” When he dropped us off, we arranged for him to come back and get us, as well. Look at the serenity! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micmacmissy Posted May 8, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted May 8, 2022 You can message the owner on facebook to let him know you’re coming, and he’ll send a taxi for you. Contact info below! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micmacmissy Posted May 8, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted May 8, 2022 On the way back, our taxi driver stopped at the two infamous overlooks where the Atlantic meets with Caribbean. He even offered to take photos for us. St. Kitts is officially our favorite new port of call! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatonDoolittle Posted May 8, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) OK, then. It won't be secluded and peaceful any longer now that it is posted on Cruise Critic. Edited May 8, 2022 by EatonDoolittle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social media discovered/destroyed Carambola. Herds arrived, discerning locals and genteel cruisers abandoned it as a drinks/lunch/day meet-up destination. Takings fell, and it resorted day passes without beds for Towels. Happily, Sunshines and Marriott are still unaffected by T’erds and Morse ensures Towels are verbally driven away (some distance) to ensure his paying guests views are not spoiled.

I've posted on this subject many times. The Marriott day pass WAS $35.00. More than 3 people get a day room for $160. If you can get others from the ship to go with you the day room to keep your stuff and be able to take a cold shower and clean up before heading back to the ship is HUGE. Property is incredible pool is off the chain. Beach is real deal. Look up resorts for a day.com Best 2 day passes on St. Kitts #1 St. Kitts Marriott #2 Palm Court Gardens, Palm Court contact directly on their website via email. $12 for deck chair rental plus bar tab if you drink. Palm Court Gardens Tiki bar by the pool one of the best vibes in all the Caribbean. Either way you go no losers. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver would be very happy to collect your party at a time of your choosing. Drivers are very good and usually arrive about 20 minutes prior to schedule, to put minds at rest. A gratuity is welcomed.

crazycatlady82 Posted August 17, 2022 #15 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I'll be doing a solo cruise on NCL Epic in April and am interesting in going there...however, solo female traveler. Any safety concerns there? I really like the idea of a quiet beach with a bar/restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long way away from T’erds. Think genteel English country club with an American twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My security review was based on the Marriott. If going to discovery, book in advance for lunch/day. Shared minibus was $8 pp e/w Also, bring your state flag to hang in the bar.
