Connecting to the Internet on St Barts
Most villas now have WiFi so you will have access to the internet and email from your villa.
Ask your rental agent or villa owner if the villa has internet access.
The same goes for St Barts hotels. Almost every hotel maintains a WiFi account for guests, and offer the passwords on a temporary basis.
There are several places on the island that provide free internet access:
Maya’s to Go / St-Jean
Le Repaire / Gustavia
WIMCO Office directly across the street from the airport
For a Fee – St Barth Telecom, a local private company, has installed a”hotspot” covering Gustavia.
You need to buy a connection card to surf without limit from Gustavia.
Contact St Barth Telecom to find out how to get a card.
If connections are very important this might be a good idea because internet access on the island has frequent interruptions so the card may work when regular service is down.
