The Glorious Gunahani St. Barthelemy

If you are looking for a place with incredible beaches, outrageous food, and a paradise like atmosphere, then the Island of St. Barthelemy is for you.

St. Barthelemy is located in the French West Indies and you will have to take a small commuter plane from St. Maarten to get there. It's only about 15 minutes give or take a bit. You may also take a boat but it is quite longer. If you do elect to take the commuter plane, be aware, leave plenty of time when departing St. Barth's to go back to the St. Maarten airport. Plenty of time! We found out the hard way. We missed our connection flight to NY, and our Luggage was delayed in St. Barth's for around seven hours. Needless to say, what should have been a five-hour trip turned into twelve. So leave plenty of time, you may make it back to St. Maarten, but your luggage may not!

Well, getting back to St. Barthelemy, if you don't mind the traveling, you will have a fabulous time. I cannot even begin to tell you about the enormous selection of top quality restaurants there are to choose from on this island. Each one unique in it's own way. There are beachfront restaurants such as Boubou's right on the beach. Or you may eat at the incredible highly classed Carl Gustaf Restaurant with its breath taking views. All the restaurants have fabulous food.

The Beaches of St. Barthelemy are in my opinion, ranked with the best in the world. Spectacular turquoise water, cliff side views, outrageous snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, jet skiing, boating and everything you can possibly imagine. Beautiful white sand beaches and what really makes St. Barth's is, the fact that mountain cliff sides surround it. This is truly paradise.

Touring around St. Barth's is best in my opinion done by scooter transportation. It will only take about 45 minutes to tour the whole island, but you will want to stop off at the many fabulous shops in town. Most shops feature world quality designer clothing accessories and just about anything your heart desires.

Some of the best resorts and hotels in the world are awaiting you at St. Barth's. One of which is the Glorious Hotel GUANAHANI. The GUANAHANI hotel is simply spectacular. Surrounded by tropical gardens, each cottage is configured in the Creole style and decorated with rare woods, pastel shades and lovely cotton fabrics, which create a colonial atmosphere. Each cottage has its own unique charm and comfort, with a large terrace, a private tropical garden and view of the fabulous Refreshing Sea. With the beach on one side, and the lagoon on the other, you will want to stay forever.

At the GUANAHANI Hotel you will also have your taste of two incredible restaurants. There is the Indigo Restaurant overlooking the beach and the swimming-pool, with a tasty tropical breakfast buffet comprising of a wide choice of fresh fruits, jams and "Viennoiseries". Lunchtime exotic salads and drinks, as well as grilled lobsters will have your taste buds satisfied and your demeanor charmed.

After an incredible day you will top it off with dinner at the Bartolomeo Restaurant, a classy atmosphere with a wide variety of mediterranean flavours and great vintages. Try the Soft "Fondant", it truly is a chocolate lovers dream.

The GUANAHANI also has tennis courts, an impressive gym, a beach side boutique and CLARINS Beauty Boutique, where men-women can experience unique massages, manicures, facials and haircuts. They also sell a quality line of Products.
