This is a very charming group of cottages surrounded by lush plants and bougainvilleas. The value is excellent. However, the owner, Jean-Phillipe can be quite overwhelming with his monologues, morning and cocktail time. He does not let anyone else say a word and he is very opinionated: from gossip about the rich and famous to a very insensitive anti-American stance.... more

Our good experience with Salines Garden started from the point of booking. Following a mix-up with the flight booking (leading us to arrive in St Barts on a day when the hotel was full) the owners were able to arrange alternative accommodation for our first night. On top of that, they offered to meet us at the airport. Salines Garden... more

Just returned from a relaxing 3-night stay at Salines Garden Cottages with my wife. We found Jean-philippe to be VERY helpful from the time he met us at the Gustavia dock until our departure. He assisted us in obtaining a rental car (essential for your stay) and offered various tidbits of local knowledge that we found helpful in exploring the... more

Alternate Title: "Tranquil, chic & rustic oasis ... & Best Price on St. B!" This place is really a find ... how did i not know of it during previous trips to St. Barths? I took a very last-minute and quick trip there just before Thanksgiving and i had to really scramble to get rooms. So i stayed at an... more

The friendly welcome by Jean-Philippe, the owner, the nice and clean cottage, the quiet place. All the best to spend a fabulous trip in St Barth. Thank you very much Jean Philippe more

We had the pleasure of staying at Salines Garden 21-22 November, 2007. The stay was short because we already had a villa lined up for the rest of our stay, and needed a few nights beforehand... We had arrived early to enjoy Thanksgiving on St. Barth's. Our cottage, Pavones, was wonderful - from the spacious bed, convenient fan, air conditioning,... more

This is a late posting, having stayed here in mid-August, but as the winter sets in, I feel compelled to write about our wonderful stay at Salines. This place is a gem. After several days on Anguilla, where we overpaid at Malliouhana, our stay with Jean-Philippe and Laurence was like coming home. From the moment he met us at the... more

Owner Jean-Philippe is the coolest dude on St. Barth's. He's legendary on the island...and for good reason. He truly cares about his guests and shows it in everything he does. My wife and I spent our 17th Wedding Anniversary on St. Barth's. From the moment that he picked us up in the pouring rain, with umbrella for us in hand... more

I just returned from five nights at Salines Garden and it was exactly what I expected: a place to sleep on St. Barth for less than $150 a night. There are many people who have written reviews complaining of the attitude of the owner. While a bit serious, he was attentive to our needs and the place was clean and... more
