We recently spent a night at the 66-key Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth, which is regarded as one of the island’s best resorts. While it first opened in 1986 as Le Guanahani, it has been operated as a Rosewood since 2021 (it had been closed for several years prior to that, following damage from Hurricane…

for a beach resort this hotel is a shame since the actual beach is awful compared to other better and stunning beaches on the island. I wouldn't pay to stay there.

Exactly! I’ve had better looking pizza at Pizza Express.

1990 - you can also skip comments that aren't addressed to you and where you don't provide any value. UncleRonnie - thanks for the context, actually helpful

Looks like a lot of seaweed on the beach sand from your photos. Is it the time of year or is this beach prone to seaweed trash on the beach? Paying top dollar and only enjoying a pool rather than the beach would be a hard no for me.

Besides the fact it's a luxury destination and there is demand, you can't compare costs in a small French oversea territory as to a random German city, salaries are +40% more than in mainland and everything has to be flown from France...

In St. Bart's, I still prefer a villa with my own pool to staying in a hotel, but the Rosewood is relaxed and has a set up that gets your closer to that experience. Hands down, I would prefer the chill vibe of the Rosewood, Cheval Blanc or Le Toiny to the choatic scene at Eden Roc.

@Todd - his husband is a (high-end) Travel Agent and they get the (upgraded) room as a bung for doing reviews afterwards. Still...it would be nice to see the reception staff faces when Lucky says: "No suite for me thanks, can I be downgraded to a standard room overlooking the car-park?" :)
