St. Barths' first hotel opened in the 1950s on the craggy bluff that splits Baie de St-Jean. Extensive renovations and an expansion in 2005 have raised it into the top category of St. Barth properties. Each of the hotel's 29 unique rooms, suites, and villas is tastefully decorated and luxuriously appointed with plasma satellite TV and high-speed Internet. New, large bathrooms have either deep soaking tubs or walk-in showers; all have loads of fluffy towels and Bulgari suds. The six beachfront villas built on the property are magnificent and sleep up to four, with full kitchens and beautifully appointed modern living areas. Stunning bay views and great service are uniform. The breakfast buffet, included in the room rate, is terrific, and the on-site restaurants are first-rate and deserving of a visit.
