Accommodation
In general, prices are considerably reduced in the low season (mid-April to mid-December). Group discounts and package rates are offered by most hotels on request. A government tax of seven per cent is levied on all hotel bills and the hotels themselves add ten per cent service charge, although this varies slightly between establishments.
HOTELS: There are over 20 hotels on the two islands, the majority being on St Kitts; most are small and owner-managed, offering a high standard of facilities and comfort. Many are converted from the great houses and sugar mills on the old estates. Further development on St Kitts will add 600 more beds. A full list of hotels can be obtained from the Embassy, High Commission or Tourist Board. The majority of hotels belong to the St Kitts & Nevis Hotel & Tourism Association (HTA), PO Box 438, Liverpool Row, Basseterre, St Kitts (tel: 465 5304; fax: 465 7746; e-mail: stkitnevhta@caribsurf.com; website: www.stkittsnevishta.org/). Grading: Though not a grading structure, many hotels in the Caribbean offer accommodation according to one of a number of plans: FAP is Full American Plan: room with all meals (including afternoon tea, supper, etc); AP is American Plan: room with three meals; MAP is Modified American Plan: breakfast and dinner included with the price of the room plus, in some places, British-style afternoon tea; CP is Continental Plan: room and breakfast only; EP is European Plan: room only.
