The adults will have their hands full trying to decide between scuba diving, hiking the rocky crags of Mount Liamuiga, and hanging out in the casinos. There will be tough decisions to make about accommodations, too. The island has a wide selection of villa rentals, hotels, resorts, and bed and breakfast properties from which to choose. No matter what your tastes or pocketbook, you’re sure to find just what you’re looking for on St. Kitts.
