Hotel Manapany

quiet , great room on the beach. great breakfast , lovely young staff

hard to swim, riptide but nice pool

From when we checked in the experience was average at best. Average is fine when you are paying average prices, but at St Barths pricing, this was a horrible value. Cockroaches everywhere, mosquitos bit my wife no fewer than 8 times. That's just the first night. Second night, after complaining about the roaches, found 2 dead on the floor, one dead in the shower and one more I had to kill as he ran for cover. That's the bugs...lets turn our attention to what they called the Mini bar. 4 cokes, 2 bottles of apple juice (that one was already drank out of) and one bottle of water. Our last night, WE HAD NO POWER. For a what I paid for my first car a night! I realize it was the only hotel left on the Island, seemed like it.

All front desk staff members have been cheerful, pleasant and extremely helpful (thank you, Katya, and others whose names we can’t remember) who called for dinner reservations, found rental car, provided first aid for minor scratches, etc. The hotel is right on the beach. The dining room is lovely, overlooking the water. The breakfast (included) offerings are sumptuous. I’d recommend this hotel to others. Having sung all the praises, there are a few minor blemishes that render it 4 stars instead of 5. Upon checking, we promptly found the mini refrigerator was leaking water and the safe box was not working. The handsome maintenance man Guillaume quickly came to replace both. Our bathroom wash sinks (both) were clogged late one night. It was after 10pm after we came back from dinner. I wasn’t able to properly brush my teeth that night. These things happen, but one wouldn’t expect at a hotel at $1400/night. Also, the electric hot water pot and coffee pot were placed in the bamboo armoire where there is no electric outlets. There is no place in room where one can properly place them to use them other than putting on the floor (how we used the first time). We wound up “hacking” the room by moving a long wooden bench hidden under the bathroom sinks to put it against the wall under the TV (on the wall). There is room in that space for the hotel to put a long dresser (or credenza) to make it functional. A ceiling fan would be nice (sea breeze cools the room at night).

The beach has a rough ride which makes it hard to swim, but the sounds of the waves can be soothing. The property itself is excellent! Warning the property is steep so it can be hard to walk if you don’t have the right shoes.

a very nice stay
