Without the thump of bass music of loud deejays, this holistic utopia offers a rugged décor of well-worn outdoor furnishings and rattan lounges covered by thatch roofs and billowing white curtains. Oversize shade trees surround a well-frequented pool area, small boutique and main dining room that are a fashionable utopia from the platinum excesses of St Barts.<span style=""> </span><span style=""></span><o:p /> <!--EndFragment-->
The Food
Visitors arrive to a carved wooden entryway, more Moroccan than French, into a tranquil garden setting with pool, lounge and main dining room. Open for lunch and dinner, this playful beach club serves a casual bistro menu of dishes like fresh fruit salads, daily fish selections like grilled tuna or salmon as well as heartier roast chicken and beef dishes with a French accent.
Last Word
Almost always a wait, visitors almost enjoy the added time with a seat at the sexy pool or lounge of hammocks while delayed for a table.
