Gyp Sea was more than we could have imagined. We weren't sure what to expect as the hotel name was not one of the more popular one on St Barths. But when we arrived and saw our incredible cabana up on the hill with an amazing view we were stunned. The rooms are spacious, clean, cozy and beautiful. And the service is impeccable. The free breakfasts in the morning (either room service or by the pool) were also a highlight as they were delicious. I give this hotel 6 stars out of 5 and will be coming back!!

Our second stay at Gyp Sea beach villas and great service from the entire Gyp Sea team, but our concierge Loic is amazing! He is extremely detail oriented and completes the trip!!!

A most excellent experience all the way around! From the moment I booked the reservation, the friendly staff was there to help me with any request or need. They facilitated everything for our stay in St. Barts. From the concierge, to the reception staff, to the service staff, to the spa staff, every person was amazing to deal with and anticipated our every need. This beautiful resort is located on a quieter side of St. Barts and is a nice break from the busy and vibrant parts of the island like St. Jean and Gustavia. But still only a short car ride from it all. The villa we stayed in was well-appointed and clean with every expected comfort. Even friendly neighborhood tortoises! Overall, we would certainly return to Gyp-Sea!

We had an absolutely perfect stay at Gypsy Beach Houses. Loïc, our concierge, was exceptional and truly made the entire vacation effortless. He handled everything for us—from securing all of our dinner and beach club reservations to seamlessly rebooking our transportation with the vip service to St. Barths when our flight was delayed. His attention to detail, calm problem-solving, and constant availability allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every moment of our trip. Loïc went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and thanks to him, our vacation was stress-free and unforgettable. We can’t imagine staying anywhere else.

We stayed at gypsea during NYE, the service and staff were exceptional. Especially given its peak season and the whole island is chaotic with parties. We would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a world class experience with a friendly staff.

We recently enjoyed 6 nights and 7 days in St. Bart's as guests of the Francois Plantation. While St. Bart's is a fantastic French West Indies island, the best part of the trip was the Francois Plantation itself--beautiful rooms with private terraces and luxury bathrooms. Perfect, discrete staff and quiet surroundings with easy access to the beaches and small towns. The restaurant is beautiful, open to an orchid tree with hummingbirds for morning breakfasts and offering a new sophisticated menu for dinner. What a treat. Everything promised was truly delivered.
