A recent article on Telegraph.CO.UK by Fred Mawer rated the top Caribbean vacation spots for your holiday this winter. Nevis made the list as Best for History Buffs.

"Sleepy little Nevis was one of the West Indies? leading sugar cane producers in the 17th and 18th centuries, and there are plenty of visible reminders of its colonial heyday. Several plantation houses have been turned into atmospheric hotels. Montpelier Plantation, which feels like a tropical version of an English country house, is the best of the bunch. But Nisbet Plantation, once home to Fanny Nisbet, wife of Horatio Nelson, has the advantage of being on a beach."

The plantation's beautifully-restored 1778 Great House and 36 charming cottages are spread among 30 acres of lush tropical foliage. A casually elegant Nevis resort, Nisbet has been recognized as one of the best small luxury hotels in the Caribbean by the major travel magazines.

Nisbet is not an ultra-fancy or opulent Caribbean hotel, but a private, intimate Nevis hotel where you can relax on the beach, enjoy gourmet dining and be attended to by perhaps the finest staff of any Caribbean hotel. (from their web site)
