Île Saint-Barthélemy Travel Forum

i'm planning to go to st. barths for a quick 3 night vacation from nyc and need advice on the cheapest way to ge tthere from st. maarten/martin and a nice hotel close to the beach and activities. thanks so much!

My husband and I will be arriving in St. Bart's in January aboard the Quest. We are interested in touring the island with a private guide or hiring an English speaking taxi driver to show us the island. Any one know of a tour guide or have info on the cost and availability of taxis? Thanks, Lu

Any ideas what to do for a day trip from St.Martin?

Hello,

We're in the midst of booking accomodations on the island but wanted to find out first the most centrally located area to stay. Something close to all the shops, restaurants, and clubs would be great! Is Gustavia the area we should be staying in?

Also, is renting a car necessary here?

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Considering St. Barth's for honeymoon starting July 2 next year. What do you all think - too risky? Too close to hurrican season? Or do hurricanes start later?

Thanks!

We visit St. Martin every year but would like to relax afterwards on St. Barths for an extra 4 or 5 days this time. Eden Roc would be our first choice of hotels of course but does anybody have a favorite place they have stayed at on the island?

Looking for a quiet, small hotel that may have a summer special rate as we are going in July.

Thanks

I am an American who has been living on St Barth for about 1 1/2 years. I've just started a short newsletter regarding what's happening on St Barth.

Have any VTers out there been to St. Barth's? Looking for your thoughts!

Can someone provide snorkeling, beach activities, or cultural info on this island? I'm considering going at Christmastime. Thanks!
