My friends are currently on the island and informed us that Eden Rock is only serving guests at the bars. Is that true? Are the Remy and beach bars still open to the public? My husband and I especially love stopping at the Remy bar for a late night drink. Thanks in advance for any information!

Always worth another look. BTW, the famous webmistress Kara, awarded that list "Best Post Ever".…or perhaps they took literally #20 of famous JEK advice list
1. Spend money like it is your own. It is.
2. Do what you like, when you like. It is your vacation.
3. Eat what you want, when and where you want. It is your waistline and (see #1)
4. Drink what you want when you want. If your spouse likes red and you like white, buy one bottle of each. Life is short.
5. Stay in a villa, hotel, or a hole-in-the-wall depending on your whim, desire or see #1.
6. Cook in your villa (if a villa is your desire) if you want to. Go out for dinner if you like.
7. Plan ahead at least a day for dinner, or don't. Experience flexibility.
8. Go to a beach everyday, or stay by the pool at your hotel/villa.
9. Watch US TV at every opportunity, or not. It's your vacation.
10. If you are looking for the old Saint Barth, just go a block off of the Main Street. (credit Wendy Carlton)
11. Bring you laptop/tablet and surf the web morning, noon and night. Or leave it behind.
12. Make sure your cell has international roaming and call your homebound friends whilst splashing in the surf to engender envy. Or leave the cell at home.
13. Charge everything on your AmEx knowing that you are getting ripped off, or use your debit card at an ATM and pay cash.
14. Wake up extra early and be the first in line at the boulangerie and bring back bread for your spouse. Or take your spouse out for breakfast.
15. Use Spotify on portable speakers, or listen to the local FM station.
16, Always rent a manual 4WD, or an automatic if you are more comfortable.
17. Bring hairdryers, curling irons and other instruments of torture, or go with the humid breezes.
18. Tip 20% for meals, maids and massages, or not. See #1.
19. Research your villa/hotel selections and gain consensus that you have the best-of-the-best, or book on a whim and enjoy the surprise.
20. Dress for dinner, or wear cutoffs. Nobody will care except your spouse/partner.
21. When you arrive, take off your shoes, take a deep breath and become one with the island, or head out to Marché U for some shopping.
22. Ride a bike, go for a run or go for a walk. Or, be a beach potato.
23. Pack three checked bags, or a carry-on.
24. Take your ti punch with or without ice.
25. But, please, please, please double the cash you plan bring and leave half the clothes at home!

We found the exact same thing. When we were there in November we strolled up to the "beach bar" and asked if we could order a drink (one of us wanted one of the frose's). We were informed that at that particular bar only hotel guests were served. They also stated that if we wanted a drink we could go inside (the Remy bar) and order one but it couldn't be brought out to the beach.
So I don't think there is any concern about the Remy Bar closing to the public.

pas du tout - even the natives are split about 50-50% on the subject ! Also vieux vs rhum blanc - all boils down to personal taste !... but risk the condescension of the cognoscenti

Certain here have a different perspective
I’ve always taken a glaçon or two in mine but the last time down kept the Canne Bleu in the freezer and forewent the ice.
