This is a lovely property – cozy and nice. Over the years Le Tropical has garnered a legion of fans that came first for the more modest rates but return again and again for the hospitality and the charming ambiance of what is one of St. Barth’s best values. The location in St. Jean is, of course, superb and just a short stroll from all the boutiques and shops. Le Tropical is not right on the beach but just about 40 yards up an incline which in turn makes for a wonderful view of those turquoise waters.

There are 20 rooms in total; 9 boasting ocean views and private terraces. The others are set in a lush tropical garden and have delightful covered verandas. All are prettily decorated in Creole style and have king beds.

The swimming pool, with its comfortable sitting area, is a central feature of the complex. Perched as it is on that hill above the beach, lounging and sunning at Le Tropical comes with fabulous views. There’s a nice, little bar here that guests frequent at cocktail time before heading out to one of the island’s myriad restaurants.

They do breakfast right at Le Tropical, and each day begins with freshly baked croissants, pain au chocolat and lots of other goodies. As you sip your morning coffee you can ponder your choices for the day. Should you saunter down to St. Jean Beach or maybe hike the goat path to Colombier Beach? Water sports? Shopping? Stroll the harbor and have lunch in Gustavia? …or maybe you’ll just settle in poolside with a good book.

Le Tropical makes a great venue for a St. Barth dream vacation.
