SALINES GARDEN COTTAGES

Host was very kind and accommodating.
Location was good

Plusieurs bungalow avec ou sans kitchenette. Nous avions un bungalow à la décoration de Pavones. Très joli. Lit et sanitaire faits tous les jours. Petit-déjeuner complet. Transfert A/R compris dans la prestation. Une belle piscine vient agrémenter le tout.
Petit bémol : un mini réfrigérateur serait un plus dans la chambre.

Just finished our 17th visit to Salines. It is as good today as it was the first time we visited. The hosts, Lawrence and Jean-Phillipe are wonderful and, as 30+ year residents of the island, know everything there is to know and share it with their guests. As repeat visitors we appreciate the updates such as which restaurants are new, which closed, and which while still open have suffered setbacks. With only 5 rental units, we are spared the “hub bub” of the larger properties on the island. The mix of guests whether from the US or Europe is always interesting during the simple “continental breakfast” or sitting around the pool with a glass of rosé after a day in the sun. St. Barth, for many reasons, is the best island in the Caribbean. In addition to the many beaches (each with its own personality and charm) we particularly enjoy the “French” environment and food. This ranges from the elegance of L’Esprit or the Beef Bar down to the pizza at Isoletta. If there’s a bad meal to have on St. Barth I have yet to have it. Going to Salines Gardens is like “going home” for a tropical week during the cold Northern Hemisphere winter. And we’ve already booked our trip back for the winter of 2026.

Saline Garden is a great value for lodging if you are planning a trip to St Barths. It is centrally located on the island, 5 mins to St Jean, 15 mins to Gustavia and couple of minutes to the beaches.|Cottages are simple, clean and well kept, the plunge pool is a great spot to spend an afternoon with others guests. Be aware there are a few mosquitos late in the day and early morning at breakfast around the pool area, but it did not distract our stay.|Jean-Philippe and Laurence were good hosts and accommodating on any request.|Glad we chose this location to stay on our first trip to St. Barths.

I stayed at this property solo for one night. The linens and bed were so comfortable! I loved my little cottage!. The A/C & Wifi worked great! It was a short walk to the Salines beach & a great dinner at Tamarin. The fresh breakfast pastries were delicious. My only problem was the ferry I was arriving on was delayed so I missed my included ride to the property and waited around the dock until I finally got a taxi. I wish I had received an email so I knew what was going on. I did not have phone service so connected to Wifi on the dock. The owners drove me to the main strip for shopping and airport on my way home which was nice. I wish I was able to stay longer and would definitely go back !
