The soon to be re-opened Four Seasons Resort on Nevis, is a feather in the cap of that island’s charismatic leader and Premier, the Hon. Joseph Walcott Parry. It is a major boost to Nevis’ tourism industry that will not only see the reemployment of hundreds of Nevisians and jobs for craft vendors, taxi operators, but also the return of direct American Eagle flights via San Juan.

Following the devastation of the resort as a result of the impact of Hurricane Omar in October 2008, the Nevisian leader has worked tirelessly with other major players to ensure its reopening and the return to work of hundreds of Nevisian workers, who have made the Four Seasons Resort, the Best Resort in the World several times.

According to the Four Seasons website, long-time fans are already planning their return to this Four Seasons hideaway which has always had a group of devotees who love its pristine nature, low-key atmosphere, and friendly, unassuming staff.

The article written by Waren Dunford, freelance writer, consultant amd novelist, proclaims: “Restored to its original beauty, Four Seasons Resort Nevis reopens December 15.”

It continues: Inspired by fond memories from past guests, here are seven favourite Four Seasons experiences in Nevis not to be missed:

A further step on the road to the re-opening of the Four Seasons Resort Nevis was taken when the St. Kitts-Nevis Resort LLC made a successful bid of US$ 86,651,000 for the property on Thursday afternoon at the High Court in Charlestown Nevis.

According to the Bailiff, Mr. John Arthurton, SKN Resort LLC paid a check of US$ 27,500,000 immediately following the bidding proceeding. The check was payable to the Registrar of the Supreme Court.

“A thirty day grace period with which the full payment of US$ 59,151,000 is left to be paid including all taxes accrued,” he said.

Two bidders took part in the bidding process. They were Linda Tulloch on behalf of Credit Agricole and Lea Land on behalf of St. Kitts-Nevis Resort LLC.

Nevis Island Premier – Joseph Parry

Charlestown, Nevis
May 07, 2010

Premier of Nevis, the Hon. Joseph Parry announced in the Nevis Island Assembly on Thursday, that the Four Seasons Resort could be opened as early as December 2010.

“Homeowners along with the Government of Nevis were joined in a petition to the courts in Delaware, United States to put aside the case brought by Capstead Mortgage Corp. a lender to the owners of the Four Seasons Resort Nevis” he said.

According to the Premier, involuntary bankruptcy proceedings took place in Delaware U.S.A. That move had delayed the foreclosure proceedings of the property which were being held in the courts in Nevis and thus put the reopening of the Four Seasons Resort Nevis in jeopardy.

“The case has been put aside in the court in Delaware,” the Premier said, “this means that the foreclosure proceedings in Nevis can now go ahead.  At the end of these foreclosure proceedings, the lenders could end up owning the property and could continue arrangements to open up the Four Seasons Resort Nevis, by the end of the year.”

Mr. Parry told the Assembly that the Nevis Island Administration had played a major role in assisting the Four Seasons Resort Nevis to re-open and had made representation through lawyer, Theodore A. Kittila who was assisted by Federal Crown Council- Mr. Arudnauth Gossai.

The Premier noted that the Nevis Island Administration paid for Mr. Gossai’s expenses while in the United States because he worked at the request of the Nevis Island Government.  Mr. Parry also said that reports indicated that Mr. Gossai’s  performance was crucial to the outcome of the case.
