I recently stayed at Isle De France while the room was lovely I wasn't blown away, and the ants in the bathroom didn't help. Overall the property is located in a residential area and isn't within walking distance to anything. The staff appears to be friendly but I felt their friendliness was phoniness.
The beach was nice however their is no beach service and the food at the hotel restaurant isn't great. Overall, would I stay here again? probably not. Its a nice hotel for those looking to stay at the property but not enjoy the local nightlife scene. Even if you rent a car who wants to drive down pitch black dark roads at night after a night of partying or even a few glasses of wine. While cab service is available for about $50 USD round trip which we did on a few occasions, even though we had a rental car. I would rather stay in St Jean or Gustavia closer to restaurants, shops, and nightlife. If you want a vacation where you stay at the hotel in a remote area away from everything other than the other hotel guests then I would say this place is for you.
