absolute best pedicure I have ever had. dda loved the massage also. we started at 11 a.m. to beat the rush. when I had called yesterday, they said 175 euros for a day pass, pedicure is 75 euros. after the pedicure was finished, I am being charged 105 euros, I said no that cannot be correct, it is 75 euros. the girl then said, but we put polish on your toenails. she said its 75 euros for the pedicure then 30 euros for polish, doesn't polish normally come with a pedicure? its regular polish, nothing special. I feel this is bad business practices. nothing was said when I was in the room getting the pedicure other than which polish would you like today. the lunch was beyond good, the new chef they have is amazing. dda had tuna sashimi for an appetizer, beef tataki for the main...

Hello! Although this is our first time posting, the forums have been an invaluable resource to us. Thank you! We are now getting ready for our third (and longest) trip to the island within three years and our first during high season. We wanted to see if anyone had any tips/recommendations for travel during the holidays? Our previous trips were kept decidedly low-key. Most days are spent getting fresh baguettes and croissants to accompany the amazing French yogurts and cheeses, relaxing on the beach of the day, burgers at Le Select, evening strolls along the water in Gustavia and music and laughter at Baz Bar. We are planning to do much of the same during this trip plus a few other outings including hiking to Colombier, a possible Sunday at Nikki Beach, day pass at one of the...

Just as you enter Gustavia.... check your receipts. Very nice kitchen/home store with knives, plates, etc. My better half purchased a nice kitchen knife for around €29,00. At checkout she received a cc receipt for 1100,00. The lady was all alarmed & after 10 minutes & conference with 3 other ladies behind the counter she was given a credit.... but during this she was charged another 1100,00. 2200,00€ for a 29€ knife. After a few days the “ pending” charge was changed to purchase. A call to our cc company cleared up the first inept charge & we have to wait for the 2nd 1100,00 to go to purchase to clear it up. We will keep you posted. Probably a mistake but with many tourists coming in for the day, wonder how many people loose $ here

Kevin/ JEK/Dennis/ Andy/Ellen/ Eddy- I believe you know more about the island than any of us- What are your thoughts about putting together a parking map of where the lots are, the legal places to park- streets etc. all say in green maybe and in red the illegal places to park. An explanation of the manual clock the rental companies give you, the pay parking lots downtown etc. A comment on the legality and where, if at all, a vehicle can have two wheels on the curb. Tips on parking at specific restaurants such as Santa Fe, Shellona, Maya’s, Eden Rock... I believe Manypany, Barthelemy, Cheval Blanc and othere require valet parking? Nikki valet I think is 20 Euros up front? Where are the pay lots and theirpricing? Tips for parking at the Supermarche and in the St. Jean area... What are...
