NIA Charlestown nevis (march 13, 2014) – Paradise Beach Nevis Ltd., located at Colquhoun Estate, is currently under its final phase of renovations and is slated to complete the works in late April with its grand opening slated later this year.
Deputy Premier of Nevis and Minister of Tourism Hon. Mark Brantley, visited the Paradise Beach Nevis Ltd., formally known as Villa Paradisio on March 11, 2014, and toured the construction site with the General Manager Laughton Grant to get a first-hand view of the renovation and construction project.

“They [the units] are fully equip with kitchens and that is one thing that we will add, since we don’t have restaurants. We will be able to bring some of our local chefs, so they can give the services to the guests that are staying in the resort,” he said.

“As part of the whole project we do have presently 24 contractors working on the property trying to finish it up in various areas. As far as employees for the resort, we have four employees on property on right now. We hope to, by the time we are open, to get a good occupancy projected and we should have 15-20 employees coming in on this property,” he said.

Notwithstanding, the General Manager stated that after the project’s completion local workers in tourism related fields would be employed at the establishment.
“We would be doing a lot of business with the outside community. We would be bringing in massage therapists who do their treatments in-house. We would do a lot of work with the guys from the boating community for our guests.
“There are other small entities that can come in and provide service for our guests here on property, as well as we will be able to send our guests out to some of these other local vendors they can experience stuff off the property as well,” he said.
