The monkeys generally come down in the early morning as we feed them sugar cane around 10 am. Then we feed them again in the late afternoon around 5:30 or 6 pm.

We LOVE it there and plan to spend our entire day there this time. Do you take reservations for the beach chairs and shade, or is it first come first serve? Also, do you happen to have orange soda, vanilla vodka and grenadine – Wondering if you will be able to make a special drink for someone with us? If not, we will be sure to sample several others, and may find one we like even better. Cant wait to see you guys again in November!

Hello Shipwreck
My family is arriving in St. Kitts for the very first time in Dec. After reading all the comments your place sounds like the perfect spot for us. Drinks, snorkeling, paddle boarding and of course shade just in case we get to much sun!!! Is there such a thing. I have 2 questions : How many chairs and umbrella rentals do you have? And are there lots of tropical fish for the boys to see or are they more like baby fish with no color?
Thx and looking forward to finding a great relaxing vacation spot
