A short 15 minute flight from St. Maarten lies the French Island of St. Bart’s.
It has the best restaurants and standard of living of most of the islands in the Caribbean.
The hotels are small, charming,and elegant. Many of them on the beach; some perched on a cliff overlooking the sea with walking paths to a beach.I stayed at the Hotel St. Barth Isle de France and Hotel Le Toiny. I visited Manapany (a series of cottages on the beach), Hotel Guanahani (which is great for families) and the Eden Rock hotel. Any of these wonderful properties would complete a superb Caribbean holiday. Lodging rates vary depending on how luxurious the hotel.
The euro is the currenc of the island, so be prepared to spend some serious money on restaurants.The French eateries are similiar to a fine French restaurant in the states.
Renting a car is easy and is advisable. The shopping is great and the views are unmatched. There are also many villas to rent on the island from 5 bedrooms for a group of friends or family to a honeymoon hideaway for a couple. Most are hidden on a hillside with the best views in the Caribbean.
