SURPRISING FACT ABOUT SUMMER/FALL VALUES ON ST.BARTHS:

SOME OF THE MOST LUXURIOUS, MOST SPACIOUS “5-STAR” SUITES ARE IN A 4-STAR HOTEL

At Hotel LeVillage St.Barth, savvy guests stay in spacious indoor/outdoor suites with fully equipped kitchens and modern amenities while paying as little as $558 a night for two.

Hotel LeVillage St.Barth is set in a hillside garden, a cozy, casual and charming family-run oasis with just 25 rooms and suites, a cascading swimming pool and sweeping views of hills, headlands and the most photographed bay and beach on the island.  The inn’s 8 Superior-category suites come in a variety of sizes and configurations, all with private decks and fully-equipped kitchenettes and all renovated and upgraded in the past two years. They’re designed for a barefoot-casual style of indoor/outdoor living with dining tables for six on the terraces and with air conditioning in bedrooms to augment the gentle hillside breezes. Some of the suites also have a private Jacuzzi and the Family Suite, with 3 bathrooms, sleeps 2 adults and 3 children (or 4 adults and 2 children.)

Caribbean Charm Meets Fiber-Optic Internet

These rooms may have a Caribbean charm and flair befitting the first full-service hotel on the island (it opened in the late Sixties and one of its first guests was movie legend Greta Garbo) but today’s newly upgraded model surpasses many of its 5-star neighbors with i-Pod docks, fiber-optic Internet, laptop safes, and flat-screen TVs that become decorative seascape “paintings” when not in use.  General amenities include a cascading swimming pool with gazebo and self-serve chilled soft drinks, an exercise room with panoramic views of the bay and, for trips to that glorious beach just down the hill, beach towels, folding chairs, ice boxes, paperbacks and a   self-service bar for soft drinks right in reception.
