Montpelier Plantation & Beach

This is hands down the most wonderful place to stay. So peaceful, tranquil and serene. The Staff are by far the most friendly we have ever come across on a holiday. There is wildlife in abundance and the grounds are breathtaking. Muffin, the Owner is pure class and mingles with everyone and treats you as though you are friend rather than a patron. The food is to die for! You will not want to leave this little jewel!

I had the pleasure of having a very petite young lady serve us she paid great attention to detail she was friendly. She recommended the lamb and crispy pork belly which was absolutely delicious. She is a true gem unfortunately I didn’t get her name my husband and I look forward to seeing her in November on our second trip.

Tranquility, charm and caring are what makes Montpelier so wonderful. Nestled in the lush hills of Nevis, Montpelier is a gardener’s dream. It also is steeped in history. The staff are terrific and work hard to ensure all goes well. We stayed in a Plantation Room which is simply and tastefully furnished. I loved hanging out by the pool where I didn’t feel guilty about being lazy. Dining options are excellent and now a barbecue lunch is offered at Montpelier’s beach property. Quiet luxury at its best!

What a lovely place this is to spend a few days doing mostly nothing! From the friendly welcome to the sad goodbye we had a wonderful 4 days. The rooms are large, private and simple, with everything you need- clean and cool. Ours had a great view over the gardens to the distant sea from our private terrace. Mango trees attracted the monkeys, who add some entertainment but will not bother you. You need to be aware that this lush environment attracts all kinds of fairly noisy nightlife so bring ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise! Interestingly we never got bitten by mosquitos- a real bonus! The pool is excellent, with a restaurant for lunch and the bar is run efficiently by Kaddy, who will make sure you know your reggae music before you leave ;-) Despite being a 25 minute drive from their private beach it is very much worth the journey and to make a day of it, with great food from the hotel off the BBQ, clear sea and a lovely quiet location. Food is excellent, with a choice of two restaurants- the 'Restaurant 750' menu is sophisticated and varied- we enjoyed two lovely dinners there, with cocktails and canapés to start in the comfortable lounge. We had a last night meal in the old mill- 'Mill Prive' - a different menu and an interesting place to dine. Breakfast is served on a separate terrace- really varied and again, great food served by the lovely Tasha and Leslie. Highlights for us at Montpellier were the people- all of them really friendly and helpful- it is easy to see that their repeat bookings are higher than average! We will certainly go again.

Went for dinner at the acclaimed restaurant that is part of the hotel. Compared to the delightful and welcoming experience we had received from waitresses, hotel staff, shop assistants, the police and other members of society on the island, the attitude and behaviour of all the staff (bar the lady in reception) was decidedly surly, off hand and to be honest, quite rude. Some points that immediately come to mind: In such a restaurant, I don't expect to have to wait over 5 minutes to order a drink after being shown to a table and given the drinks menue and only then after I went tolo the bar to order. How many times is normal to ask the waitress not to take our plates as we had not finished eating? - three? Having to ask for sugar to go with our coffee was followed by the last straw - having to go back to the bar to ask for a spoon to stir it with. Very poor service all round to go with the attitude. The prices were excessive for what was far from exceptional food. The only reason to reluctantly give a second star was the situation and decor of the establishment. There are far better places to go on the island. Not worth the trip.

I am so absolutely thrilled that we decided to stay at this hotel. It was an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff is by far the best around and the grounds are beautiful. A special shout out to Kaddy who made each day special. We celebrated my husbands birthday there and they truly made it special. The rooms are gorgeous, spacious and comfortable. Highly recommend this beautiful resort. We spent a day at the beach and the staff there was super attentive. Great food & drinks.

Wow- Absolutely beautiful venue with possibly the most caring service we ever had at a resort. We can not say enough about the week we just spent at Montpelier Plantation. It is very understated and quiet. For lack of better words I would call it elegant simplicity. The hotel which is not on the water is built on an old sugar plantation overlooking the sea. It has its own private beach that you go to via the hotel van. The beach was wonderful as were the lunch and dinner barbecues the hotel provided at the beach.

The staff her is amazing. The property is magical. This is not a hustle amd bustle activity every second place. This nature, beauty, tranquility and the most personalized and welcoming service i have experienced anywhere in the world. If you want to step away, eat amazing food and be treated like royalty, Montpelier is the place.

A wonderful retreat, beautiful property, charming rooms and an excellent staff.
