Incredible!!! (Wife writing for married couple.) Wow, what an amazing surprise and treat! We usually stay in St. Jean Beach area (>20 years) had not stayed on this side of St Bart's before. We LOVED it!!! The service was welcoming and pampering. The room was spacious, gorgeous and very quiet, the bed luxurious and the cedar bathroom was an enormous virtual spa. Also a spacious terrrace with beautiful view. There is incredible attention to every detail, e.g., wonderful diffusers and fresh passion fruit in the room, homemade complimentary hibiscus tea. Dinner at Francois Plantation at the hotel (arugula salad, red snapper with coconut cream on the side and topped with mango sauce, and limoncello souffle for dessert) was fabulous, as were breakfasts (try the awesome unusual healthy cancer dr. recipes, make you feel fabulous all morning). Best massage ever (with Margaux), and we love the PURE Altitude bath and skin products (buying some to take home). Have already booked a facial here for next week (although have previously enjoyed other spas on the island and was trying to decide where to book). Can't wait to return in the future! Cannot say enough nice things!!!

Steep climb to room by driveway or stairs was a challenge for my husband, although the staff will gladly offer to chauffeur you up the hill in a golf cart. Hotel is not on a beach, but we typically drive to different beaches anyway and the weather was unusually windy and overcast when we were here so it did not interfere with any plans.
