Bonjour! At Le Guanahani, we had a wonderful chef, Philippe Masseglia, and his wife, who also worked there. We became good friends every time we went back and Philippe was so personable and would always take time for us to spend visiting with him and his wife, and also giving us cooking lessons, etc. When Irma came, we were naturally worried about him as our hotel closed for the last 4 years. Then I read somewhere that he was a private chef for the Eden Rock villas! Does anyone know what he might be up to in 2021-2022? I know he is a triathlete of note and has been in France but I was wondering if anyone has been in contact with him?
Also, we noticed that Le Guanahani has now converted to a beach restaurant and the formal restaurant that was in the back does not seem to be there anymore. The beach restaurant (The Beach House) was a little outdoor resto in the sand with some nice music on occasion while we were there but this seems to be their only restaurant at this time (much enlarged), taking away the old pool restaurant where we had breakfast and lunch on occasion..yes, lobster lunch:laughing-cry:! I was wondering if anyone had spoken to the new owners about this big change; it seems like it is a full time "toes in the sand" experience..I am quite surprised that there seems to be no real formal restaurant there and there is only one choice, along with what seems to be a really nice beach bar. Many thanks in advance for any info you might have!
