What to do and see in Basseterre, St. Kitts: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

March 28, 2022 Jasper Kershner

Nestled between the Caribbean and lush mountains, Basseterre has a long history of colonial struggle that is reflected in its architecture and cultural monuments. The National Museum, St. George's Anglican Church, the Circus area and Independence Square all give glimpses to the city's past. But most travelers do not come to Basseterre for history; they come for the beaches, resorts and marinas, offering ample snorkeling, windsurfing, diving, sunbathing and golfing opportunities.

Originally had an issue with a November 2019 purchase. Emailed Ben and Alex at Kay's, St, Kitts and didn't get a reply immediately. A few days passed when I did receive a response to my email, with apologies that my email was missed in error. As soon as the issue (diamond fell out because 2 claws broke) became known to them, the steady contact began along with the immediate need to correct the wrong. I received enough funds from Kay's Jewelers to repair the ring at our local jeweler, love my ring and will be back to this store or any other Kay's Jewelers in the Caribbean the next time we are there. They make sure that you are 100% satisfied. Unfortunately, due to an issue with Trip Advisor itself, I am unable to remove the original post (somehow under a different login, which I have tried to correct) but I wish I could remove it.

We arranged with Tatem prior to our day in port. All communication prior to the tour was very prompt and detailed. We felt very comfortable booking this 4 hour tour of the island with Tatem. He greeted us at the port (earlier than our designated time) with a smile and walked us a short distance to his immaculate vehicle. We enjoyed the day learning all about the island and the stops that we made including Brimstone Fortress, Romney Manor, the Lava Rocks as well as several buildings within the city. I would highly recommend Tatem for a wonderful day on the island of St. Kitts.

La Casa Del Habano St. Kitts

La Casa Del Habano St. Kitts is located at the bustling Port Zante in downtown Basseterre, St. Kitts-Nevis. Recently renovated and upgraded, we offer only authentic Cuban Cigars, fine wines and spirits in a relaxed and mature entertainment.

Reviewed By JohnnyInDC

On another cruise with friends with a stop at Basseterre, St Kitts. One of my favorite cigar lounges, Casa del Habano is located right in the port’s touristy shopping center (upstairs level). It’s an oasis, Cuban cigars, Cuban rum, Cuban music, leather couches, air conditioned, quiet, and Orlens, the manager, providing knowledgeable advice on cigars. I bought a few boxes of H. Uppman and a single Trinidad robusto to smoke right away. Orlens cut the cigar for me, toasted the foot and bought me a glass of Havana Club rum. It was 90 minutes of pure vacation from the world! If you are a member of the “brotherhood of the leaf”, this lounge will be memorable. Send the wife and kids to the beach, and spend an hour indulging yourself.

Diamonds International St. Kitts

St. Kitts isn't a typical Caribbean port of call by any means. Those who appreciate the relaxing scenery of baby blue waters and rows of peaks that seem to jut out of the ocean like pyramids will find a quiet respite from the gambling meccas and crowded tourist destinations of other popular islands. Though much has changed in the last several decades, most of St. Kitts remains as it ever was; a paradise among paradises. Sometimes staying the same can be a good thing, and at Diamonds International, we understand that the quality fine jewelry and low duty free pricing that has made us the world's premier duty free jewelry is what our customers have come to expect with each and every visit. Come by and see us at our Port Zante location and let us help make your St. Kitts visit even more memorable.

Kevin and Steve were outstanding to work with. Our MSC Cruise stopped there in early February and my husband & I were looking for a new diamond with hope that the establishment would trade the current diamond in towards a credit. The men we worked with were patient, kind, professional and quite fun! They took their time explaining the various cuts, colors, quality and settings they had to offer. The location is not too but and not too small... there are endless choices! We ended up purchasing the perfect diamond with no pressure or heavy sales tactics. Do not worry about being scammed or pressured... Kevin and Steve are sincere... (special message to the salesman... remember to visit us when you come to Canada so we can show you Niagara Falls!)
