Le Sereno Hotel, Villas & Spa

“Le Sereno is the quiet side of St. Barts and that is exactly why I love it. While Gustavia has the nightlife and St. Jean has the scene, Grand Cul-de-Sac has this understated luxury on a calm shallow bay where the water is warm and turquoise and the pace drops to zero. The design is clean, modern, almost minimalist — white stone, natural wood, floor-to-ceiling glass that opens directly onto the beach. No excess, no noise. Just beauty done right. The restaurant serves some of the best food on the island. I had a ceviche at lunch that I am still thinking about months later — fresh, citrus-forwar” — Kevin Joyce

“Le sereno is a beautiful hotel located in a one of a kind bay full of turtles. The rooms are also well made and the finishing in wood are a masterpiece. Only negative comment is the service at the breakfast which is extremely slow for some reason even though the floor is full of staff. Coffee usually takes up to 10min, we ask for bread and avocado, we got the avocado after 10min and the bread never came), thats definitely NOT the kind of service you would expect from a 5 star hotel.” — Alexandre

“Great service, great food and wine list,,,, but the dinner DJ wanted to drive you out! It wasn’t dinner music at 7:00 it was we want you to leave our club at closing hour bad sound track.” — Tom Whitaker
