The Royal Beach Casino – Complete Guide
Royal Beach Casino: It’s been a couple of years since I last visited The St. Kitts Marriott Resort and The Royal Beach Casino, but I love it so much I’m heading back there later this summer. Maybe I’ll see you there. The resort is located in Frigate Bay (doesn’t that name stir your juices?) on the southern shore of the island, and it successfully captures the essence of this relaxing and romantic Caribbean island destination.
Situated on a pristine beach with a championship golf course and the largest Vegas-style casino in the Caribbean, it’s the stuff dreams are made of. Me? I love the islands, and St. Kitts is my favorite. The Marriott Resort there is one of those unparalleled vacation spots: wide sandy beaches where the palm trees sway and the sounds of a steel band wafts gently across the island. The resort is a full-service family venue that boats a world-class spa, extensive meeting facilities, eight restaurants, three lounges, and an outstanding Kids Club program, all of which make it the ideal destination, not only for families and couples but for corporate organizations too.
St. Kitts is situated in the northern Leeward Islands of the Eastern Caribbean separated by a two-mile-wide channel from its sister island, Nevis. The island’s capital city, Basseterre, one of the oldest cities in the Caribbean, is located on the Southeastern side of the island. St. Kitts is in the Atlantic Standard Time Zone, which is one hour ahead of Eastern Standard Time in the winter. Daylight savings time is not observed.

The Royal St. Kitts Golf Course
The Royal St. Kitts Golf Club has the only golf course in the Caribbean with holes on both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The layout is a stunningly beautiful 18-hole, par 71 championship “links”-style course originally designed by five-time Open Champion, Peter Thompson. In 2003, the golf course was remodeled by Canadian architect Thomas McBroom who took full advantage of St. Kitts’ natural terrain to recreate what must be one of the finest courses in the entire Caribbean.
