I just had a Le Select flashback... Does anyone remember a regular at the bar by the name of Jean-Luc? I think his last name was Sibiley (Sp)??

Historically we have never really had any issues with parking in Gustavia at night.... but I don't mind a little stroll before and after dinner. We have been to SBH a few times since 2011 and my go to location (day or night) has always been Rue Jeanne d'Arc. Occasionally we have parked on the road out of Gustavia as well. This year we visited over Thanksgiving break and were always able to find parking on Rue Jeanne d'Arc. So parking was not an issue.

There is a good app that I use quite a bit for my maritime excursions called Windy. It gives you a fairly accurate wind forecast looking forward ten days. Looking at St. Barths, winds are currently NE about 15kts., turning to the east early in the week about 15kts, and then becoming pretty fresh early next week with winds easterly about 20kts. These 15-20 knot east-northeast winds are pretty common this time of year (Dec. - Feb.) and sometimes referred to as the Christmas winds. www.windy.com

Hey! I'm not sure about the status of La Toiny Restaurant's black truffle pasta dish, but it sounds delicious! Some restaurants change their menus frequently, so the dish may no longer be available. Check the restaurant's website or give them a call to find out.

Reed replied to a thread Weather in St Barts Island Main Forum

Hello Maryella, You would be correct. It has been windy a good portion of this month and the reason I know this is that I can see white caps many days in the Baie of Lorient and then around 10 every morning I get a water report from my husband that swims everyday in front of Nikki Beach. The report includes roughness, seaweed and clarity. I will say that I recall the weather being windy during most of January and February last year. Bring a wrap if you are going out at night. We have been commenting on how delightful the weather has been.

Sorry maybe I was misunderstood. I know no one knows the weather even a day out. Was just curious about the winds that are on the weather report that i read every day.

Is there a bar/restaurant similar to Le Select on the island other than Bar De L Oubli? Where else do the locals go for a beer after work? What are fun local hangouts?

We did a catamaran/sailing trip last year. It was a lot of fun. An hour or so of sailing to Colombier, an hour and a half there beaching it, over to Shell Beach for lunch which was another hour and a half. A slow sail back through Corossal and back to Gustavia. I would for sure recommend an all day trip and we booked about 4 months in advance.

I was looking into this on our last visit in 2019 and was told the owner wouldn’t allow it. Maybe it was just that particular unit. Good to know that you were able to. We’d be going in February.

Are you saying the rental agency won’t allow you to tack on a few extra days unless it’s in 7 night blocks? We’ve always added a night or 3 on top of the 7 night minimum. we usually go in November, December or February.

parking is wherever you can find it!!-My wife and I were in St Barts Jan 8-22 and it was very difficult finding a place to park in Gustavia--Fouquets-Santa Fe-Isola-Black Ginger offer Valet-Not sure about Bonito as we did not dine there--in the end you will find a place and it is always worth the hassle!!

Divabella started a thread Gustavia Parking in St Barts Island Main Forum

After going to Anguilla for the last two years ( going again next week), we know we will be ready to return to St Barth’s next year. I’m already looking into accommodations. We most likely will want to stay 10-12 nights. In the past we stayed at Colony Club because we love the location and being able to walk to dinner. The issue is, I think we can only do weekly rentals there and the hotels within budget that I’m looking at have a 7 night minimum for February so we won’t be able to add on an additional 3-5 nights. Les Islets de La Plage has caught my attention. Considering staying there instead but my concern is parking in Gustavia at night for dinner. I never paid attention as to if there is an actual parking area or if it’s just street parking. I’m pretty sure Bonito has valet not...
