Hôtel St-Barth Ile de France

Fodor's Review:

An obsessively attentive management team ensures that this intimate, casually refined resort remains among the very best accommodations in St. Barths—if not the entire Caribbean. It's not hard to understand why the property boasts a 72% high-season return rate—it just keeps improving each season. A technology upgrade in 2007 added a reception-area computer for guests and broadband to rooms, which are huge and luxuriously outfitted, all with modern four-posters, French fabrics, and fine art, plus superb marble baths (all with a tub or Jacuzzi tub, both rare on the island). In 2009, renovations added four enormous, beyond-fabulous beachfront suites. The beachside La Case de l'Isle restaurant serves fine nouvelle cuisine on a pretty veranda. The spa is by Molton Brown. The beautiful white-sand beach couldn't be more pristine. The little boutique is full of great beachwear. Good off-season and honeymoon packages help to keep the rates in check. Pros: prime beach location; terrific management; great spa; sports. Cons: garden rooms—though large—can be dark; some complaints that the beds are hard.
