Mary and I spent our honeymoon in St. Barth at the beginning of the month and stayed at the Carl Gustaf for a week. Some friend had recommanded us the hotel for our honeymoon.....we thought that it would be a convenient location, in the center of Gustavia close to the stores, restaurants and clubs. Well they were right....We had a... more

The Carl Gustaf Hotel is a lovely small hotel perched on a hill overlooking the city. From the minute we stepped onto their grounds we were treated extremely warmly and professionally. Pierre, the general manager, and his staff are first class!!!! They consistantly went out of their way to accomodate our needs. Our room was very tastefully decorated and furnished,... more

I have to say I read alot of the reviews on this site and at times question the bad ones as someone who has little travel experience. I guess now I will have more respect. I just recently returned from a extended Caribbean trip which included a stay at the Carl Gustaf Hotel in St. Barts. I was sold to... more

My husband and I stayed in St. Barts for a week in April and split our time between Carl Gustaf and Eden Rock. Both hotels are beautiful, however we found Eden Rock to be a bit more beautiful than Carl Gustaf. The biggest difference between the two was the level of service.

My wife and I spent our honeymoon here after getting married in St. Martin. We also looked at Eden Rock, Le Toiny, and Isle de France but decided on "The Goose" based on recommendations from a friend. To say the least, we weren't disappointed. The views over Gustavia were spectacular and our room and patio were immense, immaculate--and very private.... more
