gorgeous, perfect stay in paradise. my boyfriend and i had a "studio" room that had a kitchenette, full bathroom (with 2 sinks!), couch, coffee tables, TV, dresser, coat closet, and best of all--a beautiful private terrace that had a table and chairs for al fresco dining (we also used the space to practice yoga). the pool is a few steps away, and is absolutely gorgeous. we could walk to the marina/downtown st. francois area, but once we got a rental car, getting around was easier and more efficient. complimentary breakfast was a very nice addition--fresh fruit, croissants, bread, coffee, juice, muesli--and it was relaxing to eat in the main house every morning with the doors open, overlooking the beautiful grounds. the only negative was the bed--very hard and pillows were not great either, but it's possible that the beds in the bigger rooms are better (our bed was 2 single beds put together). we woke up every morning to the lulling hush of palm and tamarind trees swaying in the Caribbean breeze, in addition to softly chirping birds. the room had great black-out curtains, so even with floor-to-ceiling windows/doors, we slept soundly into the morning without being woken up by the bright sun. FYI I speak French fluently. Most of the staff there is not particularly well-versed in English, and we were the only Americans staying there, to my knowledge. so if you know no French whatsoever, it might be tough to communicate, but that being said--there's not a whole lot you need to interact with the staff for, and hand gestures would likely suffice for most of what you'd need to chat with them about.
