Conde Nast Traveler says..."A stay at this hillside resort on 600 acres "is too beautiful to put into words." Octagonal-shaped whitewashed cottages have wraparound wood balconies, while beach-level units are tucked behind coconut palms. "There are attendants for everything from towels to drinks to welcome you to your own little palapa of relaxation." Breakfast on accra-fish cake in the treetops at Treehouse Restaurant." -From Conde Nast TravelerTravel + Leisure says..."Years before “greena and “eco-consciousa became trendy travel buzzwords, Russian-Canadian architect Nick Troubetzkoy designed and built his dream resort: a series of 49 open-air rooms situated along a verdant tropical hillside above a semi-private volcanic sand beach. Within each nature-centric Sanctuary suiteasome with the fourth wall literally removedawarm trade winds obviate the need for air-conditioning and one look toward the panoramic Piton views will make it clear why flat-screen TVs were never installed. While you can sit back and observe the abundance of wildlife right from your room, be sure to take to the water; divers and snorkelers will be thrilled to discover that several of the island's top underwater sites can be found within a few fin kicks (or a short boat ride) from the water's edge.

A recent renovation freshened public spaces as well as the interiors of its 97 rooms and suites and six private pool villasaknown for their Morocco-meets-West Indies dAcor (dark-wood louvered windows and white-tiled floors paired with colorful silk pillows and arched doorways).

From your lounge chair perched on the white sand- facing the crystal clear waters of Saint-Jean Bay- you have only to climb a wooden staircase polished by the elements to reach the Eden Rock - St Barths. Located on a rocky headland overlooking the coral reefs- this little village of villas with rust-red roofs stands on the foundations of the former property of the aviator and adventurer Remy de Haenen- the first pilot to land a plane on the island back in the 1940s. Jane and David Matthews have created the modern and eclectic interiors of the themed suites including the Howard Hughes- the Fregate with its private Jacuzzi- and the Greta Garbo. An original and elegant address- perfect for soaking up the sun of St. Barts- lazing on the beach and exploring the dazzling undersea world.

Travel + Leisure says..."Whether it's the rocky promontory of its setting, above the sunbathers on St. Jean beach, or the likelihood of rubbing elbows with Cameron Diaz or Matt Dillon in the Sand Bar, Eden Rock is a perennial epicenter of style on celebrity-studded St. Bart's. The 34 rooms are each different and can include such idiosyncratic details as a rock wall or a Philippe Starck-designed bathroom. The Harbour House and De Haenen suites, which float above the bay, have the best views. With its two bedrooms, the beachfront Villa Nina is rife with perks: an art gallery with a rotating selection of works on display, a private pool, and even a Mini Cooper to take for a spin. Dine at On the Rocks, the open-air French hotel restaurant overlooking the bay." -From Travel + LeisureConde Nast Traveler says..."On a rocky promontory, this husband-and-wife-owned property has rooms decorated with antiques, hardwoods, and original artwork, some by the owner. "They are bright and fit the location perfectly." On the Rocks uses local fish in its French-influenced dishes such as wok-fried fillet of mahimahi; try the homemade yogurt for breakfast at Sand Bar.
