March 12 2009, Just returned from a 3 week sailing vacation in the Caribbean. We sailed over to St Barth's on a whim after being told of the wonderful snorkeling at Anse Columbier and other beautiful beaches. We anchored just outside the main harbor in Gustavia trying to avoid the high winds and big swell that had kicked up from... more

There are a lot of bars in the Caribbean, and this is one of the best. We love it for what it is not as much as for what it is. It is indeed a place with a touch of class in the island way. You can see and meet some very interesting people here day or night, and some... more

I've been to St. Bart's 8 or 9 times over the past 15 years. I've spent the day on the island while doing several different Windjammer cruises. I've done day trips from St. Maarten, and I've spent a week there. Each time I make a point to stop here for some Caribs and a cheeseburger. I don't go just to... more

For those that didn't like Le Select because it didn't live up to their expectations don't belong in St. Barths...go to Disneyland instead. How can you not like a place that is purely itself and has not folded into commercialization? I absolutely loved having to wipe off my plastic lawn chair before I sat, I loved ordering 2.50 Red Stripes... more

This place has skidded along on it's reputation for years. Once it got the Buffett connection, it relied on reputation and eager yuppies dying to reminisce about their college drinking days. (Isn't that really what parrot-heading is all about?) It's dank and depressing, in reality, but will always endure as long as the followers of Buffett and parrotheadism endure. more

Le Select is one of those outside bars that poets dream of. In fact, it's where Jimmy Buffet found his inspiration for "Cheeseburger in Paradise." The place delivers on a simple idea: very good cheeseburgers and cold beer. Okay, so maybe you didn't come to the Frnech West Indies to eat a cheeseburger. But this place has character and is... more

Way to tell it like it is Ralph! I spent a day on this island when my cruise ship docked off shore and I just don't understand why it is so popular with people like Jimmy Buffett, Mariah Carey, P. Diddy and Brad Pitt. Le Select is a terrible place, and there are so many better choices on St. Martin.... more

I agree with Ralph about what Le Sélect is: my wife was looking for Le Sélect and did not realize that I found it quite a while ago, (she oversaw it since it is really an ugly bunch of bricks, with garden plastic chairs (!), bad taste stickers, more suitable for Hell Angels than for Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in... more

A small bar & outside grill. The name : “Le Select” will certainly fool everyone. It is a hole-in-the-wall kind of bar that is located on a small street corner. It has an outdoor patio area with cheap plastic chairs and a couple old picnic tables. Inside the bar it is very run down, very old, and everything is dusty.... more
