Incredible location on beautiful St Jean Beach. We have stayed in the 1 bedroom Sunset Corail villa 3 times now and it's absolutely perfect. The staff is outstanding! Especially Loic, the villa manager. He goes above and beyond for all of his guests. We keep coming back to Gypsea Beach Villas for the experience of feeling completely at home and taken care of! And we can't wait to come back again!

This was our first time in St Barth’s and Gyp Sea was absolutely the right choice. Leading up to our trip the reception staff was immensely helpful with recommending every lunch and dinner and making the reservations. I was in constant contact with them for two weeks and they absolutely went above and beyond to make a milestone birthday weekend perfect. The hotel is an absolute gem, a secluded getaway with the nicest people. The rooms are gorgeous and comfortable. The massage was one of the best I’ve ever had. And with a free shuttle to the hotel’s beach club we had the most seamless experience with having a perfect beach set up every day. We can’t wait to come back!

We stayed at the Gyp Sea, which proved to be our best ever accommodations. Our beautiful, consistently cleaned room had a stunning view of the water below and was only a skip away from the hotel’s beautiful pool, around which we had a full service, full menu complementary breakfast served by the nicest staff. Owing to the hard work of the concierge team, we had lunch, dinner and after at all the fun, in restaurants. Our itinerary was absolutely full and all I had to do was request assistance scheduling activities/meals. Further, we were able to get rides whenever needed, even if that meant the hotel had to come pick us up at 3am! (Thank you!) The beach club was filled with fun guests and attentive service. I cannot recommend the Gyp Sea highly enough, and we had stayed preciously in St. Barthes at more expensive, larger, more hyped hotels. Those were great experiences but this was by far the best!!!

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.
