best spa/lunch value in July? + 2 more items...

Darn... timing is everyting. I would LOVE to charter a sailboat with you. We sailed with Eric, our Bucket captain, for a sunset cruise in February and it was splendid, thanks to Wimco.

I'll send you an email with my spa/lunch experiences from this year.

I find that most places on SBH are very accommodating to GF limitations, especially when prior notice is given (e.g., when making reservations). I even have had chefs come to the table to discuss menu options & variations that they might prepare. I also find that “GF” is a somewhat variable matter — e.g., I generally can comfortably have soy sauce with dishes such as sushi & in items where soy sauce has been part of a marinade. Getting GF pasta in SBH restaurants, sadly, is difficult . . . to satisfy my pasta cravings, thus, I usually order risotto (always delicious at Al Mare (Le Sereno Hotel)).
 
My daughter and I did day passes yesterday at Le Barthélemy. It was our second visit there, they offer choice of massage or facial and use of the spa (steam, sauna, cold baths) all day, a 2 course lunch and lounger. It was not crowded either visit, we chose to sit on the beach vs pool. We really enjoyed the food in November, yesterday was fine but didn’t seem quite as good. Overall a beautiful day, the views from the beach and pool are spectacular. Manapany also offers a day pass and saw an ad in Le News yesterday or today for a day pass option at Cheval Blanc. It seems the hotels offering passes also offer a 2 or 3 course lunch menu with lounger (without the spa treatment option) at lower rates. Of note, Le Barth offers the choice of facial or massage, I believe the others only offer massage for the day pass.
 
I've done the massage/lounger/lunch day pass route at both Le Barthélemy and Le Guanahani. They were both great experiences, but I found the dining experience at Le Guanahani a little better, IMO. The spa area at Le Guanahani has the added bonus of a spa-only pool, but it can get hot as it is all outside without much shade. Both spa massages were wonderful, but at Guanahani I had a very handsome gentleman masseur from Italy that may have put Guanahani over the top for shallow reasons - lol. Both were around the same pricing - if I remember correctly it was €165, not including any additional tips or alcoholic drinks. Really not a bad deal overall.
 
We paid 195 euro per yesterday at Le Barthelemy. The cocktail included last year has sadly been discontinued.

@Jeanette We also did an afternoon charter with Eric of Jickey Marine in early May and it was lovely. Very attentive and the catered lunch was a Mediterranean delight! Highly recommend them. We try to charter with them almost every trip.

We found that the Cheval Blanc deal (for 195 Euros) was the best value, considering 1-hour treatment (they allow your choice of either facial or massage or a combination thereof) and the welcome drink. The lunch selections included in the deal were pretty good too.
