Golden Rock Nevis

Truly unique and beautiful place. It used to be a sugar plantation and still has the stonework, historical feel. The gardens are beautiful. The service was not great. I must say, Sara is awful. Luckily I was able to work with the general manager to book activities, such as the garden tour, and he was fantastic. There is not much to do either on the island generally or in the hotel itself, so I recommend no more than a 3 night stay. To the hotel, I recommend maybe implementing more activities that can be done on-property, and a better way to convey those to the guests (Sarah should not be working in a customer facing role).

Stunning property with great service

Golden Rock is out of this world. Lush tropical gardens magically woven into an old sugar plantation. Friendly and courteous service, beautiful dining venues near water features or amongst the gardens. Serene pool. Amazing sounds- frog cacophony at night, birds in the morning. Small resort with intimate feel. Can’t wait to return.

Breakfast on Sunday mornings at the Golden Rock--what a treat! We were excited to return to the hotel and see the upgrades. Breakfast all'aperto on a large garden patio, good food, and attentive service. We were pleased to see a lighter fare was offered for those of us who don't need full breakfast meals. All 4 of us enjoyed the lighter fare and were pleased with the options. The drawback was getting to the venue. The narrow road, although paved, is rough, spotted with potholes and in some places the road has dropped away. Getting to and from a parking lot without scraping the car on the road was a challenge we didn't master and we are used to bad island roads having previously lived on Nevis. Another difficulty was finding parking. Maybe Sunday was a busier day. There are two parking lots; however, they include both guest and visitor slots and some drivers blocked in others when they couldn't find a parking space. Of note to those challenged by uphill walking--both parking lots require one to walk uphill to reach the restaurant (about 200ft on the upper lot).

Five adults- 2 out of 5 entrees poor. Great a**osphere Happy with our appetizers and drinks. Very sweet waitress. Where they fell flat was our meat dishes. I was specific in ordering rare to medium rare on lamb chops- they were medium to well done My husband ordered filet mignon medium rare- without a doubt it was medium to well done and was grizzly- they did offer to redo his but experience tells us not to bother Finally as a very good cook the chocolate tort was granular and not a good grade of chocolate The a**osphere is stunning and one should consider arriving early so u can walk about- perhaps lunch also so that u can betterview the area

This picturesque hotel is nestled an interesting garden and rain forest type setting. The historic buildings are surrounded by a delightful garden with variety of beautiful tropical trees and plants. There is an opportunity for a four hour hike which offers pleasant views. A map was obtained from the office, though it was a great effort by the staff to find them. The map needs to be updated. The drive to the two tiny parking lots is extremely difficult to maneuver and parking is limited. We did an early walk so that we would arrive by 10:00, one half hour prior to breakfast being over. We actually cut it shorter so we were in lots of time to order and eat before to the dining room closed. However, we had a most unpleasant experience. The coffee was stale, obvious from the bitter taste. I kindly asked for fresh coffee. I was informed, "The coffee is fresh"! Eventually we were given fresh pots of coffee remade. One of the pots still had a sticker on it from the shop where it was purchased. However, I had to insist on a clean cup. We noticed on the menu that fruit or juice were included. We had to ask for this as it was not offered. The vegan omelet was delicious! Perhaps the waitress felt everyone had been served when we arrived and the need to look after was was an interruption to her morning. In any case, her lack of ability attend to her role in the hotel was unpleasant and we did not feel welcome. The poor service took away from the pleasant surroundings and would make me hesitate to be a guest.

We had lunch at the Golden Rock. Good food, amazing location and very good service. Not cheap but not too expensive either. The place has been renewed recently and has lots of interesting nooks and crannies although we only saw the public eating and drinking spaces.

Such a beautiful, peaceful boutique location. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The food at the restaurant on site was delicious. The bungalow room was serene. The property is a tropical paradise. Thank you to the manager, Jandel, and his assistant in all things, Sarah Ann, for their attention to detail and assistance in reaching out to the rental car company over a holiday weekend, booking a taxi and finding a great snorkeling excursion for us. This property is a little piece of paradise.

This secluded hotel was amazing with everything you need on site. The grounds are well kept and the staff is really friendly and helpful. Transportation to/from the airport was easy. Management also set up taxis to the beaches and other destinations. I would definitely stay here again!
