Living in NY we decided rather late for a week's holiday in St-Barth at the end of January. From our first phone contact with Mss Julie, reservation manager, until the end of our holiday we were treated by the courteous and discreet staff as "special guests". The 1 bedroom- suite with carefully studied details had an unbeatable harbour view. A... More

My wife, 14 month old baby and I stayed 5 nights at the Carl Gustaf. We were afraid it might be difficult because it's on a hill and there are steps to get anywhere. Instead, everything was easy because the staff was so lovely - from the manager, Alex, who came to pick us up, to the front desk staff... More

We spent 8 nights at the Carl Gustaf for our Honeymoon and that stay totally exceeded our expectation. Living in NY we are used to a service in French Hotels that can be highly variable and sometimes can be a disaster as they make you feel like the employee and not the customer- I am actuallly French, so I know...

Mary and I spent our honeymoon in St. Barth at the beginning of the month and stayed at the Carl Gustaf for a week. Some friend had recommanded us the hotel for our honeymoon.....we thought that it would be a convenient location, in the center of Gustavia close to the stores, restaurants and clubs. Well they were right....We had a... More

The Carl Gustaf Hotel is a lovely small hotel perched on a hill overlooking the city. From the minute we stepped onto their grounds we were treated extremely warmly and professionally. Pierre, the general manager, and his staff are first class!!!! They consistantly went out of their way to accomodate our needs. Our room was very tastefully decorated and furnished,... More

I have to say I read alot of the reviews on this site and at times question the bad ones as someone who has little travel experience. I guess now I will have more respect. I just recently returned from a extended Caribbean trip which included a stay at the Carl Gustaf Hotel in St. Barts. I was sold to... More

My husband and I stayed in St. Barts for a week in April and split our time between Carl Gustaf and Eden Rock. Both hotels are beautiful, however we found Eden Rock to be a bit more beautiful than Carl Gustaf. The biggest difference between the two was the level of service. Eden Rock had terrific service but Carl Gustaf's... More
