Fodor's Expert Review Christopher

97133, St. Barthélemy Fodor's Choice

This longtime favorite of European families delivers a high standard of professionalism and courteous service. Super comfortable rooms are stuffed with unpretentious but luxurious touches like soaking tubs and flat-screen TVs. Each unit has a private front deck with a lounge bed, perfect for relaxing with a book. Set in lush, mature tropical gardens facing the rocky shore of tony Pointe Milou, the huge infinity pool brings the liquid horizon up to your toes; its shallow side is a dream for small kids (it has an alarm at night for safety). Book a treatment in the chic waterfront Sisley spa, or soak in the Japanese bath. An ample buffet breakfast and first-rate gastronomic dinners are served in a lovely modern pavilion. Lunch is fresh and delicious, and yummy drinks come from the poolside bar. There's even 24-hour room service for light bites and meals. Most appreciated are the remarkably moderate (though not low) prices. Its restaurant, RIVYERA, captures the spirit of the French Riviera and is helmed by two-star Michelin chef Arnaud Faye.
