Cheval Blanc St-Barth Isle de France

We just celebrated my daughter’s birthday and my own at Cheval Blanc St. Barth, and once again, they managed to completely exceed our expectations. Honestly, there is no better place anywhere not just in St. Barts, but anywhere in the world whether we are on vacation or celebrating a special occasion. We’ve been coming to Cheval Blanc for many years, and after everything they’ve already done for us, you would think there is no way to be surprised again. Yet, somehow, they always find a way to make each visit even more special than the last. From the moment we arrive, every detail is handled with care and precision. Whether it’s room service, the beach service, La Case, La Cabane, or just relaxing, everything is always flawless. The front desk, butler team, and all top management go beyond what you’d expect even from the best hotels in the world. The service throughout the hotel is unmatched. They remember your preferences, your likes and dislikes, anything we mentioned new about our likes it’s there permanently (just amazing). They take care of you in a way that feels personal, warm, and truly thoughtful. It doesn’t matter if you are staying at the hotel or just visiting for a meal they always make you feel like you are the only guest there. La Case and La Cabane deserve a special mention. Both restaurants are outstanding, with food and service that truly stand out, even on an island full of great dining options. The beach service is just as impressive, relaxed, attentive, and always on point without ever feeling intrusive. Cheval Blanc St. Barth is more than just a hotel. It’s a place that consistently redefines what hospitality should feel like. We are already looking forward to our next visit and to creating even more unforgettable memories.

This hotel is amazing. The rooms are great and it is on the best populated beach in St Barths. The main thing that differentiates all the St Barth's properties, including this one, is the incredible staff. The service is perfect and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Can't recommend enough !

The bungalow was perfect: spacious, with a beautiful terrace, excellent bedding, a wide variety of soft drinks. And to top it all, staff interaction was excellent. Our alchemist(Auriane) was always available with a smile and Thomas gave us the best breakfast experience! Also, Claire organized a perfect private beach experience for my wife’s birthday!

Best honeymoon ever! My wife and I had the most amazing time. The staff was exceptional and the entire atmosphere was A+! We are definitely looking forward to returning and enjoying this place of paradise again and again! I highly recommend if you are going to St. Barths that you go here!

Our stay offered some real highlights, including a stunning natural setting, scenic hikes to Colombier Beach, and generally very good food. The main pool area was clean, and we appreciated thoughtful touches like complimentary hats, snacks and non-alcoholic drinks in the minibar. Wildlife like turtles, hermit crabs, lizards and iguanas added a unique charm when walking through the resort grounds. However, we encountered a number of issues that significantly impacted our experience. The indoor accommodations lacked the same level of care. On the first night, we found dozens of bugs in our room - including ants on the bed sheets and towels, and a large spider in the bathroom. Mosquito bites kept us up, and we ended up having to stay up to clean just to make the room feel livable, which was far from the relaxing start we'd hoped for. Even after that, it was hard to feel at ease - every night brought new bugs, and the lingering stress and uncertainty about whether any might be harmful made it difficult to sleep comfortably. It felt like we were constantly on edge and scanning the room. Maintenance and service also fell short of expectations. The bathroom sometimes lacked hot water, and the body wash dispenser didn't work. When we requested a replacement, we were given shampoo instead.. A request for a buckwheat pillow resulted in receiving a cork one. These mismatches left us felling frustrated and doubting the resort's attention to detail. The private pool was another letdown, with dead bugs and bird feathers floating in it, making it feel unhygienic. Additionally, safety concerns arose: a slippery tub led to bruises, and a chair had exposed spikes that cut my finger. I had high expectations based on the resort's brand, and while the location and food largely delivered, the poor room hygiene and repeated service missteps made it hard to fully relax or enjoy the experience.
