We stayed for one night at the Hotel Carl Gustaf before a stay at the more remote Le Toiny. We wanted to get a feel for life in the "big city" in Gustavia. The hotel staff was delightful, our bungalow room was spacious, beautifully decorated and nicely appointed. The small private pool on the patio gave us a great view... More

(I have not been paid for this review) - this was our first time to St Barts and Hotel Carl Gustaf did not disappoint. The furnofnus were picked up at the local airport and immediately give cool, fragrant towels and water - absolutely what was needed after many hours in airports. When we arrived, we sat overlooking the Gustavia harbour... More

The location of this hotel was near the city of Gustavia, where you can find some bars and restaurant. The view over the harbor was very nice. But there the service was poor. It all started with the drive from the airport. We had let the hotel know that we were with the 5 of us. They arrived with a... More

I almost feel like I shouldn't review this hotel, since I didn't pay the bill, so the outrageous prices didn't really affect my stay. Carl Gustav has great views, beautiful rooms, and the ideal location (a short 5-minute walk to the beach and into town; it's right up the hill from the incredible restaurant Bonito). The service was not particularly... More

I made a solo trip last November , to the recently renovated Carl Gustaf. I have been to St. Barths at least once a year for the last 12 years. My husband and I had stayed one night at this hotel , 9 years ago for our 25th anniversary. The rooms were brightly redecorated, with a small kitchen, stove, microwave.... More

Spent a 35th birthday here with my girlfriend. Decided to island hop for two days and one night from St Maarten, so booked a Winair flight over (very easy 10 minute flight, very interesting landing). Arrived at the Carl Gustaf about 1230pm, and was greeted warmly by the desk personnel who all spoke excellent English, and were expecting me by... More

Living in NY we decided rather late for a week's holiday in St-Barth at the end of January. From our first phone contact with Mss Julie, reservation manager, until the end of our holiday we were treated by the courteous and discreet staff as "special guests". The 1 bedroom- suite with carefully studied details had an unbeatable harbour view. A... More

My wife, 14 month old baby and I stayed 5 nights at the Carl Gustaf. We were afraid it might be difficult because it's on a hill and there are steps to get anywhere. Instead, everything was easy because the staff was so lovely - from the manager, Alex, who came to pick us up, to the front desk staff... More
