I was living my White Lotus dreams at Gyp Sea St. Barths! My cousin and I had the absolute best time. The beach club is amazing. The entire staff is incredible. Loved talking with everyone. Nina at reception is so sweet and Lucas on valet is so fun – he’s an expert photographer FYI. The breakfast is gourmet and delicious. The spa is excellent. All the little hotel details make the experience. We made friends at the hotel and all went sailing together. I can not wait to come back!

From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for something special — and the experience far surpassed our expectations. This is, without a doubt, the best resort in St. Barth. Every detail was flawless, from the beautifully designed and impeccably maintained facilities to the breathtaking views and luxurious amenities. Whether at the pool, the spa, or simply relaxing, it all felt like paradise. The service was outstanding. The team’s warmth, professionalism, and intuitive attention to detail made us feel truly cared for — like family, not just guests. A BIG thank you to the valet, front office, housekeeping, and food & beverage teams for going above and beyond. Your dedication made our stay unforgettable. And a special thanks to General Manager whose inspiring leadership clearly sets the tone. His passion and vision shine through every aspect of this exceptional resort. We’re incredibly grateful for this experience and already counting the days until we return.

The hotel staff is amazing. Rooms are nicely decorated and very clean. Excellent choice to stay in St Barths. Also, the beach club is excellent and you can enjoy the beautiful St Jean beach.

Gyp Sea was great even with just a day pass. Very comfortable. Lou the hostess was very attentive and we appreciated her.

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.
