SBH Insider
Just sitting here on the patio over looking the harbor and watching the planes land, enjoying another visit to SBH. We are 1 week into this trip and it has been great! I still can’t figure out how time goes so quickly!
We started our trip in L’Orient at Les Mouettes, since the Villa was not ready. What nice place. Having morning coffee and croissants from the bakery while listening to the ocean this really the best way to start the day! The surf was up the 1st 2 days, so the surfers were out in force. Great entertainment! Way too many cars!!! Wednesday it took 20 minutes to get from the grocery store in Gustavia to the Baz Now it was noon but still. No parking at all, that I saw. We have had no issues finding parking at the beach lots, but the Marche U lots has been full every time. We ended up in the paid gated lot once, but were out before having to pay.
Restaurants so far: Le Repaire, Manapany, Santa Fe (lunch) Tamarind, Aux Amis Plage, Lil Roc, Grain de Sel, Les Bananiers - still planning Zion and Santa Fe (dinner) and the rest will just fall into place depending on how we feel. No negative comments about the food or service at any location. We were very impressed by the staff today Aux Amis. They look ready for high season. Manapany was also a nice surprise.
I finally got to meet Amy and Phil last night! It only took 12 years:happy1: Sorry to have interrupted your dinner, but I had to say hello.
I love our time on the island! There is just something here that I absolutely love!!
