HÔTEL BARRIÈRE LE CARL GUSTAF ^{* * * * *}

The room was nice but there is no stand up shower you have to shower in a tub with a hand held sprayer attached to a wall holder. I would have expected a proper stand up shower. We booked Room with a private pool which was a nice amenity. It has a beautiful view. The hotel pickup from ferry was timely and comfortable car and friendly driver. We should have taken the flight from St Martin. I thought we wouldn't have time to connect but we cleared customs in minutes. The hotel booked us ferry they didn't tell us there was coach and business class just booked us in coach. There is no wifi on coach and it's not a luxury ferry. About one hour transit from St Martin to St barths. Definitely fly. We flew back on winair and it was a quick flight. I was disappointed in the food at the hotel and the service. They claim they have fresh squeezed juice but it's cold pressed and made off site. The omelet was so salty I had to send it back. We put a do not disturb on door but they come in anyways. I always think at a nice restaurant if the server checks on you after they serve food to ask how it is but that never happened. Also at a nice resort the manager generally comes around to check how things are going. That never happened either. The hotel has beach access but it's not white sand and not private it's a shell beach which hurts to walk on. So while the room was nice and the view from breakfast is nice since the hotel has no access to white sand beach and bad food and bad service id try another hotel if I go back. Also they gave me the bill a few hours before checkout and didn't provide American express credits so I had to call amex. Overall a nice trip but at these prices and with no white sand beach I would have expected five star customer service and food

This hotel was truly the best experience I’ve ever had in Saint Barth! From the warm welcome to the incredibly friendly and attentive staff, every detail was perfect. The rooms are absolutely stunning, and having a private pool right in the room was an amazing touch. Can’t recommend it enough – it made our trip unforgettable!

My wife and I visited St. Bart's for the first time this week. It was a last minute overnight from St. Martin (a holiday within a holiday) and we had no idea what to expect. What we didn't expect was the experience of a lifetime thanks to the team at Le Carl Gustaf. They made us feel like we were part of the family in our home away from home.||It started from the moment we landed when our hotel driver went to get our luggage and found out it was not on our flight. My wife, far from being upset, was very excited about the opportunity to buy some new items for dinner. The hotel followed up with the airline, sent a driver back to the airport and dropped our luggage in our room all while my wife and I were shopping.||Check in was a wonderful experience with the two of us sitting at a table overlooking the harbour while the bartender brought over water and whatever welcome drink we wanted.||Twenty minutes later Chleo, showed us to our room and helped us settle in. From the bottle of Veuve, to the spectacular views, to the private pool on the terrace everything was done to make us feel like family.||Chloe also arranged last minute dinner reservations at the hotel's Beefbar restaurant for us and the wonderful food and amazing views were unforgettable. ||Checkout the next day came far too quickly and I was only able to escape with my wife with the promise of a longer stay in the not too distant future. The rest of our stay in St. Martin paled in comparison to this experience. ||One final Thank You to Chleo, our driver and all the restaurant staff that made this overnight so very special for the two of us. I'm just sorry I didn't remember everyone's name that contributed to making us feel part of the family. ||A beintot (See you soon).

This place is phenomenal. Our room, food and stay was PERFECT.

The concierge team and staff went above and beyond to accommodate my family and I will be forever grateful. A special thank you to the manager Nelly, Clemence and Batiste. When our travel plans were interrupted, they helped saved my dad’s birthday and were very resourceful. They were also sincere and very thoughtful.

After visiting some other top hotels during our short visit I am so happy we chose this hotel. It is centrally located on the island. It is a walkable 10 minutes to Gustavia port and the best shopping/action on the island. It is the only 5 star resort in Gustavia.

We would return without hesitation. Blessings forever to this staff.
