Nevis, West Indies. ?A Non-Tourist-Trap? Blog About Nevis.

The Oualie Beach Resort has come up with a special CARICOM rate for all you Caribbean “neighbors”.  Too bad I don’t live in the Caribbean.

See what they have to say:

“We really appreciate our Caribbean neighbours ! So if you are resident in the Caribbean, make sure that you ask for your Caricom discount which is 40% off of whichever room type you choose. See the rate page for your normal room rates from which your 40% will be deducted.”
