Thank you all for continuing to provide the context and color that helps us know that every year we return that we will have the best experience based on your advice and insight.
Arriving a week earlier than usual this year due to a wedding in Miami prior to our visit. Makes more sense to travel directly from Miami to SXM/SBH instead of going back to New York just to avoid the Thanksgiving holiday. Strange though that the time in the air is almost identical between Miami and NYC.
Returning to Le Barthelemy again, both Maksym and Charlotte could not be better hosts and always make us feel at home. Prior to Le Barthlemey we stayed at Le Guanahani but chose not to return after Irma and the change to Rosewood. We've had 8 years so far at Le Barthelemy, their 10 year anniversary and the way they have been able to maintain the warm feeling and generous environment has us locked in and wouldn't think of staying elsewhere. The staff at this hotel has always been sweet and kind and very hardworking.
Lunches at:
We will be visiting for two weeks, so plenty of openings to fill as we go along. Spending days at Saline, Gouverneur, St Jean, Lorient and maybe a hike to Colombier as well as relaxing at our hotel and the Grand Cul De Sac.
Also want to give a shout out to Caravan in Gustavia, Filles des Iles in St Jean, and all the other shops we have found over the years to be able to bring back memories from.
There simply is no other island like St Barts, and even though there are many here that have seen many more changes than we have, I feel like you can find your own "island" and make it just for you.
Thank you again, been following you all for years and I really appreciate the time and effort you put in to this board.

Lunches at:
- Ti Corail, can't beat walking down the beach and enjoying Yann and Camilles amazing hospitality
- Grain de Sel, really enjoyed our meals here last year, hoping the "local" feel is still intact.
- Mapo and Licorne, both new for us this year, but from what I can see online, both look great
- LouLou, always loved Shell Beach, hoping the new menu offers a new favorite to come close to the whole chicken at Shellona
- Mamo, our friends Marco and Giulia are amazing hosts
- Nyama, for Thanksgiving, why not?
- Beef Bar, have really enjoyed the food and the view here since they opened
- Sand Bar, always solid and can be entertaining watching the guests at Eden Roc
- L'Esprit, best restaurant on the island in our opinion
- L'Isola, yes you can have the same meal in NYC, but I don't go to NYC anymore, so really looking forward to eating here again
