HI there, We were in St. Kitts enjoying beautiful weather and scenery and decided to try Mariott's St. Kitts resort New Year's Eve event. The ad looking very promising - cocktails, 2 drink tickets, tasty looking menu, live music, fireworks at midnight and DJ. So far so good. Unfortunately this is a case where the ad raised the expectations way too high and they just couldn't deliver. :-( Hits: Shrimp appetizer very nice - mild cajun seasoning - good sized shrimp. Prime Rib - very tasty, a bit overdone for my taste (prefer medium rare) but still very good Sweet Potato hash station - delicious! Some really nice additions too - bacon mix, salsa, etc. Went back twice. :-) Brochettes - they were OK (not a big hit) Not hot enough - woman at station having a real bad day, not patient enough to heat them up properly Fireworks - they put on a excellent show with a big flourish - well done! Sadly that was about it.... Misses - so many misses...: There were NO cocktails - it was fruit juice. Basically they lied on the ad. Dinner music - a long coma inducing Kenny G set - wish I had brought my bluetooth speaker for our table. Live music - one good female vocalist, the guy singing was BRUTAL.. trying to do MJ falsetto - wow, so bad. Stick to your one octave range please. Hors d'ouevres passed around - very average - cold what should be hot. Little flavor - disappointing Desert - plenty of sugary donuts and large messy jars of caramel, chocolate.... and the spoons were to short so you had to stick your hand into a gloppy mess... ugh. And one BIG MISS - the drinks - not sure who gave the instructions to overpour the alcohol and underpour the mixer... but G&T was 90%G.... same with whiskey, rum, vodka.... we ordered separate ONLY mixers to mix ourselves - otherwise undrinkable. DJ - too little too late - after the fireworks we were done with the place. To summarize - NOT WORTH IT - play pictionary and watch the countdown on TV with a your own drinks and friends. Live and learn!
