I will be there in December. My second trip to St. Barts, but first time staying at FP. I can tell you that FP is not on a beach, it is set up on top of hill. You can hike down to Columbier Beach or drive to any of the others. Nothing is very far away on St. Barts.

As stated prior FP is not on a baeach and neither is St Jean Village. manapany is on the water but the "beach" is rocky and not really condusive to swimming. I have eaten at FP and the meals are exceptional. I was not as impressed with Manapany. The meal was sub standard for the island and the resort seemed to be a little weathered. St Jean village is not as private as either of the first 2 but is significantly less expensive. You may also want to explore staying in your own villa if privacy is high on your list.

the manapany renovations and new ownership are going to be wonderful. There are about a dozen rooms already done- if you are thinking of staying there be sure to ask about getting a "new" one. There is a nice new fitness room. The rooms are kind of Chic-African hut meets euro boutique.
