Chic, Relaxing, Totally worth it!

Hotel Manapany gets it right! It feels more like a really chic beach house than a typical resort. It's stylish but totally unpretentious. The design is beautiful, and the whole atmosphere is calm, breezy, and welcoming. It's tucked away in a quieter part of St. Barths, which was a huge plus. No loud beach clubs or big crowds. My room was cozy, with a separate living room and a lovely view over the foliage and a bit of the sea. The food is a standout. Everything I ate was fresh and delicious. The burrata was amazing and the mahi mahi ceviche was easily one of the best I've had. Breakfast was also great every day, with beautiful views of the sea. The hotel's commitment to sustainability is a big plus, from desalinated water and electric vehicles toe co-friendly products and even a turtle crossing in the fence. It's clear they put a lot of thought into protecting the environment without sacrificing comfort. The staff was friendly and down to earth — special shoutout to Laura, who had awesome local tips and really made me feel at home.
Wonderful return stay

A wonderful return to Manapany. Haven't been back since 2018. Restaurant staff was great! Thank you Sarah and Clemence and many others! Poolside service was great (thank you Sasha! and others). Had an issue with our Villa and the resort took care of the issue and accommodated us (Thank you Justine!, Tom, Maureen, and many others!). Enjoyed our time here. Will plan to return sooner.

We brought our family to Manapany for a few days. Loved the unique environment and extraordinary staff. Made us feel so welcomed. Our beach-front villas were special. We appreciated the sustainable commitment of the team, particularly the priority for EV rentals. Restaurant and bar are fine, indeed. Beautiful place.
A great way to experience St Barths.

We can not say enough about Hotel Manapany. We spent nine days there and had an excellent experience. The staff was superb in all respects from the concierge to the bar staff, the restaurant and to housekeeping. They made a real effort to make the experience fantastic. It is centrally located and that is a big advantage. The room was great, right on the beach, and beautifully appointed. The breakfast was great as was the restaurant for dinners. We needed a car and the staff had one delivered to the hotel. Google maps works just ok on the island, and we had some confusion getting to one of the restaurants that was recommended. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that we arrived at the destination. Anything that we needed was just a simple call away. And all of their recommendations were spot on. The best way to experience the island is to travel to different beaches and Gustavia/St Jeans and that requires guidance that was readily available. We had a very good feeling at Manapany and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to have a great experience on St Barths. Not a thing to say that was negative.
Perfect home base in St Barths

Our room was spectacular!! Views of the sea and the peaceful sound of waves. The entire team made us feel welcome and as if we had been visiting the hotel for years as a regular. My wife and I can’t wait to return for our next visit to St Barths and Manapany.
