Pearl Beach Hotel

Just steps from the Caribbean blue waters of sexy St. Jean Beach, Pearl Beach Hotel (formerly named Le Tom Beach Hotel) couldn’t ask for a better location. It’s a gem of a property that is as popular with locals as it is with visitors. This chic 14 room boutique -style hotel welcomes guests who return every year, to see-and-be-seen, enjoy the oceanfront setting and easy access to a wealth of fun water sports. And one never knows who you will bump into having a cold Carib or Planteur’s Punch at its Beach Bar. Residents can be seen bussing one another’s cheeks as they sashay in to the hotel’s Restaurant Pearl Beach  to lunch and dine. One of the island’s hot spots, the restaurant often features fashion shows with models sporting teeny bikinis and pareos from its boutique. There are DJs spinning tunes and live entertainment at night. They’ve got it covered. Mornings however are quiet and delightful at La Plage and guests can quietly sip and savor their coffee and croissants to the sounds of the surf and the smell of hibiscus.

The hotel is gaily painted in pretty, warm, Caribbean colors and ten of the rooms tucked away amidst the tropical gardens include three with a balcony and seven with a terrace. Two deluxe rooms boast a private sun deck and a spectacular view of St. Jean Bay and a two bedroom beachfront villa that can be sold separately as a Beach Room and Beach Suite. A fun and funky little footbridge spans a small pool that provides a quiet respite from the beach scene. The rooms feature romantically draped king-size 4-poster beds and all the mod-cons: TVs, DVD players, iPod docking stations and the like.Upon arrival, guests are enchanted by the little lobby cum art gallery – the Pearl Beach Art Studio – with its displays of fine art, photography and video and sculpture. The Côte d'Azur-like enclave St. Jean Village, replete with shops, bars, bistros and beautiful people, is just a short walk, so no need to search for a parking spot during the high-season bustle. C’est Bon.
