Le Sereno is a 4 star luxe hotel in an intimate grouping of suites with garden terrances located on the beach at Grand Cul de Sac, St. Barths. From the moment we were greeted by their representative at the airport in St. Martin and escorted to the Winair flight to St. Barths and after arrival, subsequently greeted by the Le Sereno driver who took our bags and drove us to the hotel, we knew we had begun an exceptional experience. The front desk staff made us feel at home and escorted us to a stylish, comfortable "suite terrasse" that overlooked the pool and the ocean. The room itself was very posh and the appointments were all very "luxe". The only problem with the room was that the safe is on the bottom shelf of the desk-dresser, and to open and close it you pretty much have to lie on the floor. For a hotel of this 4 star luxe rating, this is unacceptable, and can easily be corrected by moving the safes to one of the shelves in the closet. To plug in you computer or telephone, the electricity is 220v and the outlets are difficult to access- they are all low and under the furniture- a small inconvenience.
The restaurant Le Pecheur ( the Fisherman) is wonderful! You will not find better food anywhere on the island. Gregory, the bartender, is an artist with mixed drinks and is a charming guy. The service staff is accomodating and mostly fluent in
English, and the menus are in French and English. We were there for 8 mights and ate at Le Pexheur 7 nights, and truthfully, each night was better than the previous! Breakfast (included in the room rate) was excellent and lunches are good, too.
Over all, this is one of the nicest beach hotels we have ever experienced in 40 years of visiting the Caribbean. You will love it!
